HT3819 so we will be getting rid of our old computer so home sharing will maintain our library on new computer/we wont lose any information when i restore my old computer and get rid of it?

soi we are wanting to install itunes on our new computer and move all of our itunes to it. we see the home sharing is this the best way? once we move the itunes under home sharing can we get rid of the original computer we had itunes on. it is a old desk top and we no longer want it.. just want to make sure we dont loose anything once we home share to a new computer..

Just my personal opinion, but using home sharing to transfer content is extremely unintelligent.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer or use the Windows File transfer utility to move all your content from the old computer to the new computer.

    “The installation process has encountered an error while installation Shared Technologies”

    Hi Henningskytte,
    The error indicates that one or more of the following Shared Technologies failed to install:
    Adobe Player for Embedding
    Adobe Help
    Camera Raw plug-in
    Camera Raw profiles
    Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit
    Adobe XMP Panels
    Microsoft Visual Studio runtimes
    To resolve these issues, use the Adobe Support Advisor (ASA) to analyze the installation log file. For instructions, see Analyze install logs with Adobe Support Advisor (ASA).
    Note: If you are using a downloaded installer, or running the installation from the hard drive, the Shared Technologies can fail because of the installation path. Copy the installation files to a folder to the root of the drive, such as C:\PSE<versionnumber>Installer\, and rerun the installation.

  • I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

    I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

    In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left.  How do I fix this?

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left.  Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

  • I backed up my iphone 4 and when i restored it my music and itunes is no longer on phone, how do i get them back onto phone. Thanks for you advice.

    Can i back up my partners phone using my Itunes account?

    Backups have never included media or apps.
    All the media and apps should be in iTunes on the computer.
    Connect the device to the computer and sync the desired content to the device.

  • Will deleting my iCloud account off of my iPhone delete any information and pictures off of my phone?

    Having lost my original email password, and Icloud account password, will deleting my iCloud account off of my phone strip images from my photo stream? I am in desperate need of updating my Iphone and have already set up a new icloud account, but am worried that it will take with it's deletion valuable memory stored in my phone. Please help. I want to be rid of the  old account and use my new one, without loosing anything off of my actual phone

    You will lose the data stored in the iCloud account - like contacts, reminders, calendars, etc.  Photos will not be erased.  I'd sync to itunes before connecting to the new icloud account to be safe.

  • Home sharing is on, but library does not show up under sharing. Turned off then on again and home sharing shows up and the disappears when I click done. What am I doing wrong???

    Home sharing can't connect on my computer. It will recognize a library on one computer but not another. Tried turning it off and then on and got nothing. Tried switching to a different apple I'd and got nothing. I have the latest version of I tunes. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

    Are you connected to the same SSID network?
    to make things a little more easy, i'd perfer to have all my itunes on a network drive for all pc's connected to one itunes and scratch the home sharing itunes to view under another itunes.
    Only problem im having is that wrong pictures are showing up for movie/tv show connecting to different computers conecting to one itunes library.
    Home Sharing on iPods show wrong pics

  • Supp.Stack ECC 6.0 any idea when they are available also HR and YearrEn?

    We are trying to place timelines on the SP Stack and when exactly they will be available (for testing etc...)
    anyone have any idea when exactly they will be available
    as well as for HR Canadian Payroll and Year End ?
    Kind Regards,
    Maria

    Hey Phillip
    Checking back at this location ...
    https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/ocs-schedules
    but I cannot understand or figure out how to find when the next support stack for Canada for ECC 6.0 will be available??? there are'nt any dates that make sense? I see something to do with December, BUT that would NOT leave me much time to apply right? (We are at SP stack 14) and there is SP stack 16 available, do I apply upto 16 and then download the rest later on?  Please , please advise, I'm running out of time
    I thought they would become available within this or next week?  This is rather important for year end
    Do you know? or anyone else?
    Please advise
    I cannot seem to find a clear answer for the Canadian Year Ends, should I apply what is available now and then pick up the HRSP at year end like Dec. 21.2009?
    Regards,
    maria

  • Home Sharing does not work between a new computer and old computers

    Hello Guys,
    I recently brought a new sony vaio laptop however it does not seem to work with my current homesharing system. My old laptop and the old computers which worked together, still work fine across different versions of itunes including the newest one. However my new laptop has the new itunes but it doesn't work. The old computers/laptops can pick up the new laptop and homeshare across however this new one cannot sense any. All are on same network as well as all have been athorised and on same homesharing. Doesn't seem to be firewall either. Help Windows 8 to Windows Vista to iOS newest one.

    Fixed my problem. I just needed to upgrade the firmware on my router.

  • HT4437 What is difference between air play and home sharing if you just want to show iPhoto's on HD tv through apple tv (just purchased MacBook Air and Apple tv)

    What is difference between air play and home sharing when wanting to show photos on HD tv through apple tv?  Just bought Mac book air and apple tv. 

    You would have to use home-sharing if streaming from a computer. Computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

    Airplay would be useful if streaming from an IOS device

  • Just installed the latest Version of Firefox and it wont play any videos or games? Help, so tired and frustrated with this web browser.

    I just installed the newest version of Firefox version30. It wont play videos on youtube but i figured out what to do to fix that (change to "never activate" on Shockwave Flash add-on in plugins).
    But if i leave that setting on then the game that i try to play on Facebook tells me turn on flash and when i do i still get a blank screen on FB. What do i need to do?
    Im sure theres a simple answer. Ive tried at least 6 different things by reading others solutions and they have not worked. I dont get why why im still having problems WHEN I JUST FRESHLY INSTALLED THE NEWEST FIREFOX AVAILABLE FROM YOUR SITE!!
    These annoyances are exactly the reason I and many others have left Firefox for Chrome after being loyal for many years. Help please!

    Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins". That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
    Also, I don't even see Flash listed as installed on Firefox. Are you sure you have it installed? Try downloading it from the below site
    *get.adobe.com/flashplayer
