I have a 1st gen shuffle and a nano that I would like to use with a new computer. What do I need to do?
I have a first gen iPod Shuffle with its software installed on a Windows XP computer. I installed the software for an iPod Nano, and was then unable to access my music library with the Shuffle. This is not my main issue that my question is about. I would like to be able to use both of these devices on a new Windows7 computer. What, exactly, do I need to do? (ie - deauthorize my old computer, uninstall or install/reinstall iTunes, etc.) Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
"Do I need to deauthorize my old computer first?"
Not unless you want to. You can have up to 5 computers authorized.
" And should I install the Nano's iTunes software, since it is newer than the Shuffle's, before syncing?"
Itunes is itunes. I don't know what you mean by "Nano's iTunes software". You need to install itunes.
"Or, should I just download the most current iTunes software, and then plug in both devices and sync?"
Yes.
Hope all goes smoothly.

Help!!!! have a 1st gen shuffle and windows xp can't load itunes music to my ipod get error50
Help downloaded i tunes 10 awile ago and now can not get music to load to my ipod from my itunes library...used utility reset to restore to factory settings and still get error 50. Updated to 10.4.1 last night and still getting error 50 I have windows xp and need help on what to do next!!!!!!
If you took the backup of your music that you made from the old computer and compiled the iTunes folder to the new computer your iPod would think it was syncing to the same iTunes Library (it can only sync to one library on auto sync) and would add the music you purchased.
Sounds like you didn't have a backup file. You need to put all the music you had on the old computer on the new computer and then sync it. If it was music you purchased from iTunes download it again, there is no charge. If it was music you ripped from CDs then rip them again. If you don't want to download or rip them again then buy TouchCopy and move the music from your iPod to your new PC iTunes library then sync again.
By the way this is a user-to-user technical support site, I don't really care whether you buy music from iTunes or not. -

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?
Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see. -
Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)
This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

My iMovie 11 movie has clips that have some extracted audio that I would like to use for the menu music in iDVD 11. Does anyone know how to do this? Copy and paste does not seem to work.
I would use Quicktime Pro.

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,
BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product? -
I have a PC desktop and an iPad. I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad. I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device. I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud). Is that possible. I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.
You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
I have this problem explained above, and the solution that is given on this website didn´t work for me. I need help...iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

I have windows xp 32 bit and im running on the latest iTunes.
I will swap to windows 7 probaly 32 bitHow do you normally do ti when you switch computers?
Does Windows not have a method of transferring everything from one computer to another?
You can use your backup copy of your computer to copy everything.
For the itunes portion, you can type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Windows should have a way to copy all doc/pics/files/contacts/calendars/etc. -
I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!
iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.
