  • I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There are different ways to transfer your data from another Mac, but as you just want to transfer pictures and music, the best way is to use an external drive. You can also connect them with a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, but you need specific Macs to do it, so I prefer the external drive method.
    You just have to get an external drive and plug it to the old Mac. Then, open Finder, navigate to the folders with your pictures and music, and drag them to the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
    Then, connect the external drive to the new Mac and you will see the external drive in the Finder sidebar after opening a Finder window, so choose it. Then, just copy the pictures and music to the folder you want, for example, Music or Pictures

    IF she set up find ny ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was lost, AND it is on, AND it is connected to wi-fi, then she may be able to get an approximate street address using the find my ipod service.
    Otherwise, no.

  • I uninstalled iWork 09 and lost the install disc - is there any way to get it back?

    I uninstalled iWork 09 and lost the install disc - is there any way to get it back?

    That doesn't sound like a wise thing to have done.
    At this point having lost your software purchase, the quickest way will be to purchase and install it from the Mac App Store. It is not expensive and can then be installed on multiple Macs using the same Apple I.D.

    If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

    Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.

    Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

  • My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.

    My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT1212 i have lost my ipod touch is there any way to get it back

    i have lost my ipod touch is there any way to get it back. i had given pass code for my ipod touch

    If you had turned on the find my iPod, and it is on and it is in range of an open wi-fi network, then you may be able to get an approximate street address.
    Otherwise, you would have to look for it as you would anything else that you lose.

  • Is there any way to lock just for settings?

    When I let my son 5 to play my iPad.  He sometimes click Settings and play around and caused change the settings.  Is there any possible to lock just for settings.  When you click the settings and it must have passcode to change anything in settings. 

    Settings>General>Restrictions>Enable Restrictions. Take a look at this.
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls) - Support - Apple
    You could move the settings app into a folder on another screen that your son might not be apt to look in. Put in a folder on a home screen that he doesn't use. Keep his stuff accessible on one of the first home screens and encourage him to not stray from that screen.

  • My daughter lost her ipod.   Is there any way we can track it after the fact?

    Again, my question is, we bought an ipod for my daughter's Bday about 6 weeks ago, and last week she lost it.  Is there any way to track it?

    Find my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1 and greater) - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network, and not having been restored by the finder.  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com/  Otherwise, no. Report the loss to the police.  Change passwords on anything that might have been used by the iPod.

  • While trying to back up my contacts to icloud, I lost them all. Is there any way to recover them?

    Phone: iPhone 4
    iOS: 6.1
    Previous backups: None
    I was syncing my contacts to iCloud (went to Settings > iCloud and turned Contacts to "On"), but after the first 3 contacts, it stopped syncing.
    I went to Settings > iCloud and turned Contacts to "Off". I was given 2 options: "Keep contacts on iPhone" or "Delete contacts from iPhone".
    I selected "Keep contacts". Now all other contacts except those first 3 have been deleted from my phone.
    I have no other backups of my iPhone. Is there any way for me to recover the lost contacts?

    All media and apps on the device should already be in iTunes on the computer.
    If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, the ONLY option is to restore as new.
    Then sync back any media, apps, contacts, etc back to the device.
    You can not restore from backup as the restrictions passcode is included in the backup.

  • I lost my i phone is there any way to find it?

    hi
    l lost my I phone and iam asking is there any way to find please help me
    thanks
    mahmoud

    You can only find it IF you had already signed up for iCloud and activated "Find my iPhone" on there BEFORE it was lost.  And even then, the iPhone has to be "on" and it cannot have been reset by someone who found it.  Other than that all you can do is physically look for it.
    Hope this helps
