  • My pc will not let me install the newer itunes, how can I update my phone without losing all my purchases (i'm thinking i'll have to delete itunes and re-install right?)

    I've had my Iphone4 since 2011 but the current operating system is still 4.2.1. I'd gone quite a while between buying things on itunes directly to my phone and synching it to my pc. When I eventually synched it, it told me that I needed to upgrade to a newer version of Itunes. When I try and click on it to get new version my pc will not do anything. The only thing I can think of doing is to uninstall the old itunes and re-install the current one but i'm guessing i will lose all my purchases. Is this the only way to go about this, any help would be gratefully appreciated - thanks mark (chunky74)

    uninstalling iTunes and it's additional components does absolutely nothing to the music/apps/etc that you have downloaded or purchased.
    before uninstalling iTunes, try going to the itunes website, download the install file there and manually install it.
    If you do have to uninstall iTunes, please make sure you're following this article to make sure that you're uninstalling all of the components correctly and in the right order. Uninstalling iTunes, but not doing it the 'right' way is essentially a waste of time

  • I have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?

    Formatting will erase the drive.
    You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
    For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

  • I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

  • HT1329 I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) to the new iTunes (which is currently blank) set up in my new computer?

    I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) into the new iTunes (which is currenelty blank) set up in my new computer. Thanks for your help.

    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your computer's hard drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
    NOTE:  You can also re-download previous song purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you don't have one there is the possibility of recovering from the old hard drive even if the system won't start, a link on how to recover your qualifying store purchases, and backup advice for the future.

  • My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

    My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

    It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod.  iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)

  • I just got a new Mac but I don't know how to transfer all the music, apps, videos, etc from my iPod and old computer to my new Mac.

    I just got a new macbook air and I am trying to figure out how to get all of the music, videos, pictures, apps, etc. that I have on my ipod touch and on my old computer onto my mac. I don't want to lose anything. I just want to figure out how to sync my ipod to my new mac without losing any data.

    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine.

  • Just got a new mac book pro, need directions on how to install Office.

    We just got back from a college orientation and bought our daughter a new 13 inch Macbook Pro.  We also bought Office for Mac from the college.
    It has 3 DVD's with it. They all say "application media" but have a different months and year on them ( 2 have November 2010, and 1 has June 2011)
    I need directions on how to install this on the computer.  Thanks!  Kelly

    LibreOffice is free to use, by tens of millions in fact, didn't need to buy Office unless she is at a job that demands sharing of complicated files.
    If you want save money I would take it back, Office justs come out with another and another remake which one has to keep paying over and over again.
    Office type software has been donation supported for a long time now.
    And it's dead easy to install, just click the link and install the package. Does everything Office does, even reads and writes to Office format.

    As far as I know you need third party software unless you bought the music from iTunes, then it's easy.
    Good luck.
