It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • My itunes library is on our pc and my ipod touch.  I would like to tranfer this library to my new laptop and then to my new ipod classic.

    I have had an ipod touch for some time now.  A lot of my music is stored on our home pc.The music on the pc is stored in my itunes library, and also on the Touch.
      I have now bought an ipod Classic 160gb.
    I have also bought a new pc laptop.
    I would like to transfer the music from my itunes library, which is on the Touch, to my new laptop and then onto my new Classic.

    To transfer your iTunes Library...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

    With regard as to what is on your Touch, you will need a 3rd Party Software... Google would be your friend...

  • Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.

    Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.

    Can you describe more about what you summarize as "unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer." ?  What actions do you take and what results?  What messages do you get?  Are you able to install it on a different computer?
    Since you use the word "same", it might be a case that you do have another machine that the install is functional on.  If so, or even if you installed a couple of times on the same machine, it might be a case where your activation allowance has been used up and you need to have them reset.  If you contact Adobe Support thru chat you can ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two allotted to you available again.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Creating 2 separate libraries on the same computer

    So my sister just got her first iPod (nano chromatic), I have had mine for two years (nano second generation). I would like to know if it is possible to create two separate libraries on the same computer. If someone could also please tell me how to do that, that would be awesome. Thank you all so much!
    -Auri

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Another option is to create a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create and customize user accounts in Windows XP

  • HT3819 Will home sharing work with 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

    My husband and I share a laptop.  Can we use Home Sharing to share music with each other? I have an account for each of us on iCloud and the computer has us each set up as users. 

    No, home sharing will not work for two different users on the same computer on a Windows based system as it requires iTunes running.  It is not possible in Windows for both users to be running iTunes at the same time.
    Instead, simply use the File > Add Files/Folder option in iTunes to add the content you want to your iTunesLibrary.  Do the same for your husbands iTunesLibrary under his user.

  • Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

    Hi!
    I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
    Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
    Thanks in advance,
    Claude

  • How do I add a new iCloud account to the same computer?

    My wife has a new iPad. We use the same computer so I want her to have her new iCloud account on our computer. I have a iCloud account already.

    This solved my problem. However, she has to log in to use her account which means I have to log out. It would be nice to be able to log in and log out with a few clicks of the mouse but that is probably asking too much.
    Thanks for your help!

  • 2 iTM accounts on the same computer

    Hello community...
    I have an imac at home with several accounts on it with each their itunes settings and itunes accounts.
    I have installed iTM on my itunes and apple ID. My wife would like to have her own iTM as well but when we apply for it on her account (and her own itunes account), it says that there is already an iTM on this computer and I am not sure I understand the warnings they are giving. So here are my questions:
    - what does the warning mean?
    - can she have her own iTM as well without creating conflicts with mine so that both of us can use iTM on our own devices (iphone, ipad, etc.)
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help

    Regretably, no, it is not possible to have more than one iTunes Match account enabled on more than one iTunes store account ID that is on the same computer. Since iTM can have up to 5 computers (for a total of 10 "devices) associated with one account, the same computer can not be associated with two different instances of iTunes Match.

  • Installing applications twice on the same computer for different OS

    Hi. I currently have the latest version of Tiger installed on a G5 PowerMac. I'm planning to replace my boot drive w/ a larger drive and partition it, using one partition for Tiger and the 2nd partition for Leopard (10.5.8). As I understand it, applications must be installed on the same partition w/ the OS so I assume I will have to reinstall any applications that I am now using w/ Tiger onto the Leopard partition as well (if I would also like to be able to use them w/ Leopard). This will result in applications being installed twice on the same computer, one installation on the Tiger partition and a 2nd installation on the Leopard partition. Has anyone done this successfully w/ Adobe CS3 applications? I'm not sure if this question might be better suited for an Adobe forum but I was hoping someone here might be able to provide some helpful feedback. I would also like to know if there are any other issues that I should be aware of concerning installing the same application on two different partitions. Thanks for your consideration. (I would also like to be able to do this w/ FCP6.)

    Hi Jack,
    First finish 10.4 Install, then clone the 10.4.11 patition to the one you want to use for 10.5...

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

    I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
    Would you know how to resolve this issue?
    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • I need to uninstall downloaded version of Elements 12 on a computer, then install Elements 12 on the same computer directly from a disk. Elements 11 was previously used on same computer, and the albums and library had been moved to the first installation

    I need to uninstall downloaded version of Elements 12 on a computer, then install Elements 12 on the same computer directly from a disk. Elements 11 was previously used on same computer, and the albums and library had been moved to the first installation of 12, which I am removing. How do I correctly unstall the old Elements 12, and install the new elements 12 from disk, and retain all albums and libraries from the old Elements 12?

    You're welcome.  It was not an answer, it was a question, and it could lead to being helpful if you explain why you think you need to uninstall.
    As far as uninstalling goes, you will uninstall it like you do for any program, which depends on what kind of operating system you have.  If you wish to retain albums and whatnot, maybe the following link can provide some guidance.

  • Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

  • I had to take my hp back to factory setting and reinstall itunes, when I tried to use Itunes match it said i had to Deauthorize all my computers. I am using the same computer and desperately need access to my music.

    I had to take my hp back to factory setting and reinstall itunes, when I tried to use Itunes match it said i had to Deauthorize all my computers. I am using the same computer and desperately need access to my music.

    When you reset to factory settings, the computer is de-authorised.
    In iTunes menu Store > View Account > sign in > App Store > Deauthorise All.
    Once done, authorise this computer iTunes.
    Note: you can only do that once a year.

  • My hard disk broke up and i had to reinstall LR on the same computer, do i have to pay again???

    My hard disk broke up and i had to reinstall LR on the same computer, does LR will recognize i'm using the same computer or should i have to use one of my 3 codes i bought together with the product? In this last case i think it's not fair because it's not my fault the program has been deleted, but it was due to a faulty hard disk

    Sorry but i can't explain properly my problem. When i bought my copy of LR, adobe gave me a serial number to use 3 times to install LR on 3 different computers. I installed it on my mac, on my pc and now, due to the faulty hard disk, i have to reinstall LR on my mac. When i ll input the serial number on my mac, will i use the third possibility to use my serial number or LR will recognize it was installed before on that computer and i will have the possibility to use the serial number for the third time on a third computer? Thank you very much for your patient!!!
