HT2731 Had iTunes account 4-5 years ago and had all my music stored and now I can't access it, how do I get into old account to get music off
Had I tunes 4-5 years ago and now it won't let me access iTunes to get music that was stored thanks
Okay. My bad. I just looked up what the home sharing feature encompasses. And it basically just to be able to stream to any device. But it doesn't actually store it to that device. For example: I open my iTunes and turn on the home sharing. Then I turn on my Apple TV and search for computers. And now I'm streaming a movie from my computer's itunes library directly to the TV without having to connect my computer to the TV.
Here is my advice. And this is what we do in my house. If you love your Dad's iTunes library, Then just Download all of the audio files to your computer. While you won't be able to use the cloud features that itunes purchases provide, you WILL be able to have your father's music. But you'll have to store it at home, on a hard drive somewhere where it's always accessable.
Actually I have a network drive where I keep ALL of our MP3 and iTunes purchases housed. And I just drag them from the network drive into iTunes then sync. This way files aren't being moved all around the house.
Notes:
Anything you purchase from iTunes is always readily available in the cloud and does not take up any of your free 5GB cloud space. Just like when you download apps. If you have to reset your device, those apps are always still yours to redownload for free since you already bought them.

What can I do if my Apple Acount is blocked now for security reasons? I didn't use my Apple Acount from one year ago and now it looks that is blocked. Thank you.
You will want to reset the password for that account. (use iForgot (iforgot.apple.com) to reset your account)

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!
What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it. How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?
I have Elements pulled up on my old computer, can I find it in the program?
No but if your old computer runs Windows then you can use the free Belarc Advisor software to extract the serial number from inside the computer.
Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
Tip for future reference: when buying software, always keep your serial numbers safe and handy. Don't rely on websites, the Cloud or anyone else to retrieve them for you when you need them most. They are the single most important thing you get when you buy software and they are unique to you personally.
You can download software installers from the web any time but, without your unique serial number, you'll be stuck with using the software in trial mode. -
Installed iTunes 9 as advised and now I can't access store
Hi, just installed iTunes 9 and advised when trying to purchase a film and now I can't access the store. I can access my account etc but just get a blank screen when trying to access store! Have tried technical support but they say it's my computer's problem. Why? when I was on the iTunes store 10 minutes previous! Have limited computer knowledge but any help would be appreciated as I'm about to be flying and need some new films!
I have exactly the same problem. I haven't had access to the iTunes Store since upgrading to 9.0.1 nearly two months ago and none of the suggested fixes have worked for me. I use iolo as my firewall. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a problem with Mail on my Macbook Pro. It is configurated with a gmail account, and now I can't access the mail. Is it possible to reboot the account or..? Please help:)
The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up. -

Please see the bold. If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?
You can have two separate libraries, just do not put them into the same location on the computer. You could also create a new user on the laptop, you, and then you would start out with a blank iTunes library, then just add yours to that. It would also prevent you and your girlfriend from mixing content up unless you share an Apple ID.
