In 2008, 2009, 2010, I bought numerous seasons of a lot of TV seasons. I backed them up on a WD Passport, then bought a new iMac and had my old one totally cleaned and re-installed the OS. Is there a way to recoup these purchases! I probably have close to $3000 invested in these.

Thank you! 
I can't tell you how terrified I was when deleting the superfluous account...but it went just swimmingly!

  • So I have an I Pad that will not charge. This is the second time that this situation has occurred the first time it was covered under warranty (But not this time). So they offered me a new old one for $250.00 and 90 day warranty. Seems like the life if th

    Any thoughts about my second go around with an I pad that will not charge. This is second go around and I'm wondering if I should repalce or opt out and go different route ???? Can not imagin that Apple could give the type of support  I'm recieving and continue?? The first one was under warranty not so lucky this time.

    Go to the Apple Store and try a different charger & cable.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac.  Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

    Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
    Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
    In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
    Then
    Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
    Both machines should now have the same library
    Disconnect H the ethernet cable
    Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
    Do the same on the other machine.
    Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases

    sir, I have lost my iphone4 yesterday. Before my warranty expires I bought a new piece in exchange with old one die to so software prob. I have imei number of my old phone but didn't remember new ones.How could I retrieve IMEI no. of my new one to trace it.

    You can't use the IMEI number for tracking it, you can only potentially do that if you had Find My iPhone enabled on it - if you did then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device.
    For the IMEI number, do you have you got the phone's box or have a backup of the phone on your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061 ?
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.

    I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
    Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
    My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?

    Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
    To bookmark a webpage:
    Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
    Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
    Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
    Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
    Click Add.
    To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
    To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
    In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found

    I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
    Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • New iMac-how to use old and new

    So, I'm in the middle of migrating my settings from my old iMac to my new iMac. I've already started transfering my settings and applications.
    I was going to give my old iMac to my husband, who now has a MacMini. After I started transferring, he told me I should just keep both iMacs for working. It would actually be convenient - Keep one for having browser, planning, mail, business apps open at all times and the other for heavy-duty Photoshop, etc. work.
    What should I do to be able to work on both? Do I need to re-do my set up on the new  one? The settings and apps really should be the same any way - do I need to create a different user?

    Do I need to set up a different user on each computer?
    No
    Right now, becuase I was in the process of migrating, the new iMac is a duplicate of what's on the old. Do I need to create a new user on one and delete it on the other? What happens if I have the users duplicated?
    Not necessary, when you migrate it will make a clone of the other machine if you choose all options. If you want then to remain synced  you can do so with the same user account and AppleID assuming you use iCloud and both machines are on Lion. You can sync what I noted in my first post.
    I want to use one more for light business apps and one for my image processing.
    If your goal is to sync apps and data currenlty there isn't an automated method of doing that other than keeping the data on an account such as DropBox. If you don't have a DropBox account then that may be what you're looking for however you will have to pay for data in excess of 2GB. The first 2GB is free.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:

    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    No. Wiping the HD will erase the OS on it.

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.
