I tried to sync a new ipod to my itunes library, but it said I need to update my itunes version. When I tried to update, it would not let me. Do I need to upgrade my OS system to Leopard then to Lion?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
10.6.8 is needed for full compatibility with the iPod Touch. You can upgrade to Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements, but it is not needed to use your new iPod.

The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it. It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized. I no longer have any of those 5 computers. How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer since it is not authorized.

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

I just bought a new iPod and I have it set up the same as my other iPod but I can't get notification to show on the lock screen like my old one does. What can I do to fix this?

Hi.
What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

I bought a new laptop and tried to reinstall Photoshop Elements 11. I saved saved the original packaging and all contents (or so I thought). I can't find the serial number anywhere. Any thoughts on what I can do?

If you originally registered your product the serial number will be stored in your Adobe account. Click the red logo (top left on this web page) sign-in, and then click the Manage Account button. It should be possible to browse your purchase history. You are looking for a 24 digit number commencing 1o57.

I had photoshop 10 on my mac pro. I bought a new computer and tried to transfer it. The transfer did not work in that the software said it was incompatible. I contacted adobe and they are no hope.

Adobe said to ask you guys what to do. One of the support personel gave me a link to cs3. The link did not work.

I bought a new computer and tried to transfer it.
What does this mean exactly?
If you are looking for the installer you should be able to get them from this site (if you follow the instructions):

I can import all the MP3 songs but iTunes ignores all the m4a format files. What to do? I have copied them into the music file along with the mp3 files but they still dont open in iTunes.

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Hello timotim56,
This can be achieved by removing the device via iCloud.com

HT201274 How do I change the registration of my ipod? I bought a new ipod and want to register it under a different name.

I just bought a new ipod and when I plugged it in to register it, the name of my son's ipod appeared. How do I change the registration so that I can make it my own?

It sounds like yu either restored it from a backup of your son's iPod or you set it up via iTunes with iTunes signed into his account.
I would go to Settings>General>Reset>Ease all content and settings and then set it up with your account. If you do it via iTunes make sure that iTunes is signed into your account.

I have bought a new laptop and I want sync and back-up my iPhone4 to the iTunes installed on my new laptop. How do I do it?

Hi all,
I have recently bought a new laptop.
My old desktop PC has been used to sync and back-up my iPhone4.
However, when I installed itunes on the new laptop and tried to sync the iphone I got the message
"iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library"
How can designate my new laptop as the one wheer I can sync and back-up my iPhone?
Old PC: Windows XP
New PC: Windows 7
Can somebody please send me step by step guide as im a novice with PC/iTunes
Hope somebody can help.
Thanks in advance.

It will clear the phone. You need to restore the backup you made of your important files from the old computer (surely no one in the third millennium who uses a computer does not back it up regularly).
You can recover iTunes-purchased music, videos and apps from the phone, but not music from other sources. Connect the phone, do not sync, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu.
Photos in the Camera Roll can be transferred buy using the Camera Wizard on your computer.
Contacts and Calendar can be synced with apps on your computer; just make sure there is at least one entry in each app on the computer before syncing.
You are out of luck if you have photos in the Photo app on the phone; there are apps for your computer that can extract them, but they will be lower resolution than originals because they have been optimized for the iPhone's resolution.

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference.

I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes. I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've previously purchased. I know this isn't a matter of having tI many devices on one account because I only have my phone and now this laptop on it. What do I do?
