Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

I've had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been connecting it to my laptop to sync any downloaded tunes from iTunes. Unfortunately, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do I now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office. How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows? Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

Many thanks for any advice.

You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

Another thing to note is that if your cell plan/carrier supports it (it's free with Verizon Shared plans), you can also use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot (Personal Hotspot on iOS devices) and use your phone's data to access the internet on the iPad. I purchased an iPad 3 with Verizon 3G/4G cellular built-in but have never activated it. I instead use Personal Hotspot with my Verizon Wireless cellular (phone) plan. If you go this route, you can save money over purchasing a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad and just choose the Wi-Fi model. But also realize that if you choose to at some point to use the iPad when you're away from Wi-Fi, you won't have the built-in cellular capability that a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad would have.

Thinking of buying an ipad

I'm thinking of buying an iPad but have a couple of questions.
1. Can I run word processing software in the ipad?
2. If so, can I sync files between the iPad and my home laptop (PC)?

I use docs 2 go for all ms office functions. Main reason being that I can just save to dropbox and then instantly access the file on my pc and visa versa.
However , as brilliant as the iPad and as proficient at using the keyboard as I am I wouldn't use it for extensive word processing activities, I would use an external keyboard or an actually notebook. Also, the word processors are limited in some ways.
Head on down to an apple store where you can play with one and see how you get on.

I am in the US and thinking of buying an iPad here. Can I use this in Australia when I get home? What do I need to know?

I'm thinking of buying an ipad wifi for my mom who lives in Kenya. Any issues I need to know about? Will the ipad work ok?

I'm thinking of buying an ipad (1) wifi for my mom who lives in Kenya. I understand the charger is universal and will work with an adapter. Any other issues I need to know about? Will the ipad work ok?
She is 68 years old and has vision problems. My thought is that it would be eaiser for her to see than a ipod touch. She would use it for music, maybe reading, some games. I'm not sure she would be adept enough to download many apps, so we'd prbably load it up for her.
Thanks for any input!

She's going to need to update and at some point restore the iPad which requires a computer.
For vision problems she can enable zoom. Tap Settings / General / Accessibility.

Thinking of buying another iPad for Mom. Do I have to buy one with service from Verizon since I have it already,or can I just buy one with wi-fi and no service provider?

I am thinking of buying an iPad Mini or iPad Air for my Mom. Do I have to get one for my Verizon account or can I just buy a wi-fi enabled one? they are much cheaper. She has free wi-fi in her facility. Thanks!

All iPads come in wifi only or wifi + cellular. Just get the wifi version.

I am trying to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Always search the forum before posting. This is asked at least three times just below your post.

If the phone is locked to a carrier then you will need the carrier to unlock it And only the carrier can do that.

HT1338 I try to buy songs itunes but there is a message stating that my disk is full and to empty out the trash can. But i don't know what disk it speaks of?

I try to buy songs itunes but there is a message stating that my disk is full and to empty out the trash can. But i don't know what disk it speaks of?

The "disk" is your startup volume, which is usually called "Macintosh HD" (unless you changed it). Your iTunes media files (such as song files), and basically everything else, are stored on that volume (unless you changed it).
You should create some free space as soon as possible, because the system (OS) and applications use free space to write temporary files as part of normal operations. If there is very little free space available, your system may start to bog down and feel slow because it's not running efficiently.
You can empty whatever is currently in the Trash by doing a click-hold (or right-click) on the "waste basket" icon in the Dock, and selecting Empty Trash. A good place to look for files you may no longer need is your Downloads folder. There is usually a link to your Downloads folder in the sidebar of a Finder window. (The folder itself is located in your user home folder.)
You can see how much free space you currently have by selecting Macintosh HD on your Desktop (or in the sidebar of a Finder window), and selecting Get Info from the File menu. You can also right-click on it and select Get Info from the menu that comes up (or hit Cmd-I on keyboard). The Info window shows Capacity and Available for the volume. Available is the free space. It would be best to keep Available at least 10% of Capacity; getting it to 20% or more would be better.
If you can't free up enough free space by deleting things you do not need anymore, you should get an external hard drive and save some your files there. That's actually how I run my iMac; most of my user files are stored on external USB and FireWire drives.

I'm not sure what you mean by "on lock". If you mean your Apple ID has been disabled, see this support article:

If that doesn't help, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Otherwise, please post back and clarify your situation.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

When I use Explored, ussually I diplay my pages in english, but Explore has a feature that you can point any word and it is translated from english to spanish (one one word at the time, not the complete page), does it is available in firefox?

I do not know the answer but if you look through the Add-ons under [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=translation translate] you may find something suitable. There is of course also the well known Google translate [http://translate.google.com/#es|en|choose%20the%20language%20combinations%2C%20and%20can%20handle%20single%20words%0Awith%20some%20odd%20results service]

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond. How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums:
"Beautiful Life"
"Closer To The Sun"
"Just As I Am"
"Twenty Ten"
, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond so I can purchase the items thru iTunes.
How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

Guy's older albums have been on other countries' Itunes in the past. I don't know why they come and go. Guy keeps promising to spend more time overseas, releasing and promoting his music. I'm sure they'll all become available again then. You could import CDs, of course, but that becomes expensive. Online, Sanity and JBHiFi in Australia will mail overseas.
