My hard drive crashed and nothing recoverable, local Apple Store installed a new drive.  How can I go back and download the apps I had purchased for my previous configuration, for instance Lion 10.7, and Photoshop Elements 10?

A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)
Read how to format the drive in Disk Utility here

    Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
    As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:

    Contact iTunes store support and request for a refund:

    They may also need your order numbers so it's best you get them ready.
    You can find your order numbers on your email receipts and in your Purchase History. If you need to review your Purchase History, follow the steps in this article:

  • I've lost my password for my Airport, and cannot set up AppleTV without it.  How can I either reset or recover the password?

    I've lost my password for my Airport, and cannot set up AppleTV without it.  How can I either reset or recover the password?

    While you can reset your password, it might be wise to first check and see whether you can retrieve it, which will save you some time as far as setting up new connections on all of your devices with a new password.
    On your iMac.....
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort router icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Base Station menu at the top of the screen....up where the other File, Edit, Window, and Help menus reside
    Click Show Passwords

  • I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs.  It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    Try:

  • My hard drive crashed. I slaved the old drive, but did not make a backup of my bookmarks. how can I transfer my bookmarks from the old drive to the new one?

    My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

    Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:

  • I've moved an internal hard drive with all my music and library files to a new computer --- how can I get itunes to import the whole library while keeping my metadata?

    I've always kept all my music on its own dedicated internal hard drive.  Now I've got a new PC, finally made the switch to Windows 7 from XP, and I've moved my internal hard drive over to the new machine.
    I installed iTunes, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to import the music and library files, keeping all my playlists and metadata.  Why is this so hard?

    If your New to You Used Mac is froom mid 2012 and originally came with Lion installed on it you will need to Reinstall that version using the Online Internet Recovery system and then at first boot of the new install use the Setup Assistant system to copy over all the data from your wifes old hard drive.
    To access the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From the resulting screen that cames up, Mac OS X Utilities, select Disk Utility and then the top most entry for the hard drive, left hand panel, drive model number and size, and then the Partition tab. Repartition the drive as One Partition, You Must do that to get ride of the Mavericks Recovery HD partition which is hidden. Name the partition Macintosh HD with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Once that is done exit disk utility and select Reinstall Mac OS X.

  • TS1425 ipod nano won't synch, i plugged it in to computer after not synching for a long time and it wouldn't install a new driver and now itunes doesn't even recognize it when i plug it in

    ipod nano won't synch, i haven't purchased anything in a long time and haven't synched with the computer just charged on car charger. when i plugged the nano in it tried to install a driver and that failed and now the computer and itunes won't even recognize that the nano is plugged in.

    "The device manager just needed to be prompted to use the driver for an Apple Mobile Device instead. The Apple driver was already in my PC - I just had to prompt the device manager to use it instead of the camera driver it kept installing. Here's what I did:
    I right-clicked the iPhone in Device Manager and chose Update Driver (for me, the iPhone was showing up in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices).
    I selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and clicked Next.
    I chose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and clicked Next.
    In the next window there were 2 drivers to choose from: the "Digital Still Camera" driver that my PC kept thinking the iPhone was, and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I selected the Apple Mobile Device driver.
    The driver installed, and at that point iTunes 9.2 could finally detect the iPhone. Yay!"

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • How can I print a list of the apps I have on my iPad and iPhone ?

    I had to reinstall all my apps when I upgraded to the new iOS - while some were listed in my 'purchased' list a lot weren't and I had to go through all my iPhone apps to see what was missing. And my folders all vanished as well!  Any hints or tips before I upgrade the iPhone ?
    Sheila Brownin

    Take a photo of each page of your Phone's Home screen with your iPad's camera. This will not only give you a record of the apps but what page of the screen you had them on!
    I do not have an iPhone but if it gives the facility of storing multlple apps in a folder then make sure that they are ungrouped before taking the photographs.

  • I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

    I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
    The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

    go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
    Peace, Clyde

  • How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?

    is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???

  • Just got my computer back, reset my itunes and added new music. how can i sync my ipod with the computer as I do not want to erase what I have on my ipod

    Just got my computer back. How can I reset my itunes so it matches my IPod settings? I have my favorites and files on my IPod that I want to keep and when I try to sync it gives me the option to erase and sync with computer. How can I sync without loosing any music or files at all?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer.  Right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from backup

  • I can't recall my passcode to my older iPod touch (after the newer one got stolen) and it's not showing up in iTunes, how can I restore it to clear the passcode?

    I can't recall the passcode to my older iPod, iPod touch 2g 8GB, (someone stole my 4g) and it's not showing up in iTunes, is there any other way to do a 'restore' to clear the old passcode and be able to access the iPod? Anyone???

    The only way is to restore the iPOd via iTunes. Have you tried:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    P
    Have yu tried setting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next wold be to place the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
