I got a new computer recently and don't have my old laptop, which has all of the songs in my Itunes on it. I have all of the songs on my iPod touch, is there a way to transfer them to my new computer without having the old one?

I would like to get the music from my iPod touch onto my new laptop (which a PC), but I am affraid that if I plug in my iPod then I will lose all of my music. Is there a way to transfer the music from my iPod to my new laptop without losing songs?

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them full screen on my Mac without having to open each one in preview?

You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
You might try some of the other viewers out there.

Restore them from the recycle bin if they are there, or your backup, or find an unerase or file recovery tool, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have one.

I accidently deleted half my music in itunes (600 songs) - and yes, emptied the trash. It's all on my ipod touch...ANY way to get them back??!!

HELP! I bought a new Mac (my first) and used my nano as an external hard drive to transfer my itunes library from my old PC to the new Mac, then re-synced the nano. However, something happened when I transferred because it duplicated every song. So I went through the entire library (about 1400 songs X 2) and deleted the duplicates, then emptied the trash. Then when I tried to listen to the music, I found that about half of the songs cannot be located! I have my entire library still on my ipod ouch - is there any way to transfer them??!! Somebody help me please!!!

also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Hook it up to itunes and check the version. If it lists in the info that it is 5.0 or 5.0.1, then your ipod has imessage.
If it turns out that an update is available, apply the update. Check your ipod version from Settings > General > About. Anything lower than iOS 5 won't have iMessage.

I have 2 photo books in iPhoto. Is there some way of storing them elsewhere on my computer so that they don't get accidentally deleted?

Yes. This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .

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.

Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

My daughter has accidentally deleted all videos from her ipod nano - is there a way of retreiving them?

If your daughter owns a 5G Nano (the one with the camera built-in) and she deleted her recorded videos, I'm afraid you are out of luck. There is a small chance that some expensive data recovery solutions can recover some of that, but again the chances are slim.

I have Office for Mac 2011 on my Mac desktop. Is there a way to transfer it to my new MBA via my network?

I have Office for Mac 2011 on my Mac desktop. Is there a way to transfer it to my new MBA via my network? If not is there any way to load Office into my MBA short of buying an external DVD player?

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and set up the machine using Setup Assistant cloning it from my iMac via wifi. Whilst it took a very long time, eventually it worked.
The set up option included all programmes. When I opened up MS Word on the Air, I was asked to enter my original product key. Once I had done this all other MS Office programmes worked fine.
I believe the license allows you to install and run on a desktop and a laptop but not be using them at the same time.
Hope this helps

My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it.

Is there a way to "deauthorise" computers from your apple ID without having access to those computers?

Is there a way to "deauthorise" computers from your apple ID without having access to those computers?

Hi there ellou86!
I have an article here for you that can help you with this question:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
Specifically, it seems that this is the portion of the article that is most relevant to your question:
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden
