I got a new harddrive for my macbook and am trying to download mac os x 10.5 but nothing is happening when i put in the disk
When i put in the 10.5 disk to download, nothing happens. It recognizes that there is a disk in there but it doesn't do anything about it.
Do i need a different operating system or a new motherboard or what?
Do you mean you want to reinstall Leopard? If you want to boot from your Leopard DVD do this:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

So I got a new hard drive for my early 2009 version Mac Book Pro and some new memory to speed the little guy up. I was trying to copy the Mac and BOOTCAMP partitions onto the new drive, and I am close, but not home free.
Here's what I have done so far:
I got an external cage thing for the new/old HD.
I put the new HD in the cage and cloned the mac and BOOTCAMP partitions to the new disk while booted from a DVD.
I put the new drive in the machine and the old one in the cage.
I booted the machine and it loaded the mac side fine.
When I tried to use the 'option' key to, select the system I wanted to boot into on the reboot, it didn't show me the windows (bootcamp) option.
That's where I am at. When I go into disk utility it shows my BOOTCAMP partition in the list of logical disks under my disk, but it is grayed out. I can mount it, but when I restart, I can't select it. I feel like I am so, so close. What do I need to do?
(BTW, the old drive, the dude I am trying to clone, still exists in its entirety in the cage; I could put it back in and go from there if I had to.)
Let me know what you all think!

You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple
This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it. How do I fix this?
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
I've tried 5 times to download the new update for my iPhone but each time I try to download it my phone just restarts itself and won't download the update
I would plug it in to the compuer and update my phone. That's what I do and it works for me. Just make sue your phone is backed up and all your pictures and videos are on the computer. Sometimes when you update it erases thing if it isn't backed up. Hope this helped.

I need to know if i just downloaded itunes to my new computer and synced it with my ipod touch if all me songs would transfer over?
No, they won't transfer over, however, there are third party PC/Mac programs which will transfer the content of your iPod to your computer. Just do a Google search on this topic and you will find them (e.g. senuti)

I am also receiving random text messages from some of her contacts, and she is not getting them.
If it's just a text message and not iMessage that is a problem with the service provider. You should take the iPhone back to the store and explain to them what is going on.

Carry on deleting things because you haven't got enough storage. Note that movies take some GBs of storage -
My new iphone 4S camera is not functioning. When I click the phone icon, the shutter appears. Then the screen only shows the shutter. When I go back to the home screen and click the phone icon again. The photo screen only shows a black screen. The button to take photos is locked the entire time. I've turned the phone on and off several times.
Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have these ALL been tried?

Please help!
Either wait until Wednesday, February 12, 2053, or restore the iPod:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPod in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". -

If you had the previous version of those apps on your machine then the upgrade is free.
If you didn't have them installed you must purchase them. -
Mac formatted ipod & external HD, just got brand new PC for Christmas
Hey everyone!
So I'm a macgirl through and through...but my father just got me a brand new PC for my business and I can't turn it down. One problem though. My ipod touch and external harddrive are both formatted for Mac. Before spending money on software like MacDrive and XPlay (which are a little too expensive for me). I thought I'd ask if there's another way to get all of my music and files onto my PC.
Thanks in advance!
KimBefore spending money on software like MacDrive and XPlay (which are a little too expensive for me). I thought I'd ask if there's another way to get all of my music and files onto my PC.
No, because without such software Windows is not capable of reading a Mac formatted iPod (or any other drive).
