I have an IPad 2 and no computer at all (it broke). I want to download iOS 5 off a friend's Mac but can't lose music, apps, etc as my iPad is my only technology right now. Is there a way I could update without losing my data??

So basically I've been living computer-less for 8 months now, doing everything on my iPad 2. I want the iOS 5 update so my iPad will be more independent and not having a computer will be less of a problem. Can I update on a friend's Mac/pc without syncing my iPad to their computer? I can't lose all my data, it's all my contacts photos music and school work for the past months. Also I'm studying abroad so losing everything would be even worse considering I'd have to wait months to figure it out. Help!!

These are the options you have.

I had pages installed on my mac but then my system crashed. When it was recovered the pages application was gone. Is there a way to recover it without having to pay for the app again?

I had pages installed on my imac but then my system crashed. When I got it recovered the pages application was gone. Is there a way to recover it without purchasing the app again?

I have the same issue with pages/keynote and numbers (iWorks). Came preinstalled when I bought the macbook air back in 2010 (Out of warranty). It crashed a couple of months ago so I took it to Apple but when I got it back the iWorks was no longer there. I cannot go back to Apple for a few months as there is no Apple store where I am currently.

Not sure how to really work this, I have an ipad and just trying to make everything work together as far as using icloud. As you can guess my apple G4 has been made 2004. I got this from a friend about a year ago but never bothered to update it till now, when I have an iPad 2. Just want everything to work together so I could organize every part of my life.

10.5.8 is the latest OS a Power Mac will run.

Recently my computer was infected by a malware that deleted some DLLs and damaged Firefox, Opera and Google programs.
The other two browsers I reinstalled without any problems. But Firefox is my primary browser and I'm afraid of losing all my information.

you need to restore the phone on the computer to which it most recently synched. This will remove the passcode but you will lose any data between the last backup and the current time. Either that or sometime in the next 2 million minutes you remember your password.

I would like to change my iPad to use the same iTunes ID as my husband's so we can share our music, apps, etc. Will I be able to have my own calendar and contacts?

I have an imac, and ipad, and now an iphone. I also have my own itunes account. My husband has an itunes account as well for his ipad. Since he has spent more money on apps, music, etc, I'd like to switch my devices to use his account, even if it means losing the few apps or songs that I bought on my account. If I do this, will I still be able to have my own calendar and contacts?

No need to switch. You can use both his apps, music, etc. and yours.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions athttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

My i phone 3gs seems to have crashed and all that is on the screen is the i tunes logo and the usb cable, will i lose all my data if i restore the phone or is there a way of doing it without losing all data ?

Connect your iphone to your computer
Hold down the home button and the power button until the screen goes blank
Turn back on your phone.
Your phone has seemed to enter recovery mode, but its ok! The steps above should bring it out

A few months ago i lost my ipod nano im pretty sure its in the house but i cant find it i dont have i cloud and i cant get it because i forgot what email i used what my password was and im using a new laptop now is there any way apple could look for it

so basically i want to know whether or not apple could do something to find it

There is no way to remotely track or disable an iPod nano, either for you or Apple. As it can't connect to the Internet on its own, Find my iPhone isn't available for it.

HT1338 I want to download OS x 7 to my mac but I do not have an app store to find this download.

I have an older mac book with the OS X 5.8. I just recently purchased the iphone 5 and was going to back my phone up (contacts, ect) itunes notified that i need OS x 7 or greater. I went to itunes.com to download this upgrade. To download I have to go to the app store to purchase it for $20, yet I dont have appstore app on my computer so can not ind here i can download this update.

You don't have to go to App Store to buy 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.   Follow the notes below.
First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard.   It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel processor.Double check by reading the specs.
            Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
In the UK see … Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
This will take you to Snow Leopard and put the App Store in your applications folder.
Good luck.

HT6119 Is there any way to change country without losing all of your previously purchased content?

Google play does not have the country restrictions like Apple so I don't have that problem with them.

None of your downloads will be deleted from your devices/computers library, you just won't be able to redownload any the content that you bought/downloaded in that country unless you return to that country and have a billing address in that country on your account - but you should be keeping and maintaining a backup of all of your downloads, any item could be removed from the store at any time, so even if you weren't changing country there is no guarantee that you would be able to redownload an item.

I have just upgraded to an Iphone 5 and cant get my contacts to sync. My 4s Contacts default account was from my Mac - but I dont seem to ahve this option on my 5? How do I sync them?

The way I do it is I hook to my windows computer, it will pop up iTunes. I click iTunes off. The phone will show as another drive on your computer. Click it open then migrate to the photos folder from the iPhone.
Then select all, cut then right click on your pictures folder on your computer or make a new folder on your desk top like I do and right click on new folder and select paste.
Photos will be gone. Just remember to turn off the iPhone sync in your photos folder on the phone or they will come back
Good Luck
