I have an iPod that has music from CD's that I no longer have. The iPod was synced to an old computer that crashed. My current iPhone and my old iPod share an itune's account. Is there a way I can transfer my music from my old iPod to my new computer?

I have an old iPod touch with songs from CD's I no longer have (so they weren't purchased on iTunes). The computer that the songs were synced on crashed a while ago. Is there a way I can sync my old iPod to my new computer and retrieve those songs to get them on my new iPhone? They share an Apple ID and iTuens account.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

I have an older iMac, Leopard, 10.5.6. Is there any way to update it without buying a new computer?

Any way to update this version without buying a new computer? Extremely slow.

Gteat, you can upgrade, but the slowness is likely the try 1 GB of RAM, before you upgtade I'd strongly advise maxing the RAM to 6GB...

You could with more RAM & enough fre Disk s[ace update to 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, or the free 10.9, but first you need get 10.6 to go further, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9 Installer.

HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
Thanks

So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

I recently got a new ipod touch. My old ipod nano is synced to a mac computer at my mom's work. And my new ipod is synced to my pc computer at home. Is there a way i can get the songs from my old ipod to my new one?

Copy the music from Nano to computer by:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Then just sync to the new device
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

I have been forced to join Qwest email. Is there a way I can get back to mail? If not, how can I import my address book to Qwest?

It sounds like you use Quest as your ISP, or whoever you have as your ISP is being taken over by Quest. If this is the case it is possible that your email server is being transitioned to Quest and you will need to change your email address and server settings.
I am only speculating since I do not have enough information. I suggest calling your ISP or Quest and ask their help desk about this.

If you were not syncing the contacts in your phone with a contact manager or cloud service, there is no way to get them from the car to the phone other than manually re-entering them in the phone.

I have switched computers - old one stolen - and lost access to my 800 or so song library. I started a new library. Is there any way I can retrieve my old library and add it to the new one?

I am not very tech oriented - I love my Ipod - had a library of 800- 900 songs - my computer was stolen, I have since bought a new one - started a new library because I could not figure out how to access my old library. Is there any way I can somehow find that original library and add it to my new library??

If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

I have an Apple Time Capsule which I use for back up. Is there a way I can send my photos to it each time I add new photos? I guess I am asking if there is a way I can use it as an external hard drive?

I take A LOT of pictures as I am an amerature photographer. I have used up almost all of the space on my internal hard drive with photos and music. Is there a way I can use my time capsul as an external hard drive? If so, can anyone direct me where I can go to figure out HOW to do it? I appreciate your help!!!!

Buy a large enough external hard drive you can use to store your pictures permanently. Time Capsule is not a good choice for this. Keep your backups separate from your storage needs.

I have lost all text messages from one number, is there a way I can retrieve. I have an iphone4

I have lost all of my text messages from one number, is there a way to retrieve?

Possibly. See the Manually Migrating section of Switch 101: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac.
The files already transferred are in a new user account created by Migration Asisstant. Log off; when you go to log back on, you should be prompted to enter a password for the new account. Then you should be able to manually move whatever didn't get copied.

HT204053 i have a different apple ID to my icloud is there a way i can chage it to one apple ID for everything

I have 2 apple IDs i would liike to use 1 for all how can i change this?

I'm assuming you use one ID for the itunes store and another for the iCloud account - that's perfectly fine. However, if you want to use just one, be sure the itunes ID stays the same, otherwise you'll lose all the music, apps and other material you bought (things bought on the itunes store are forever associated with the ID that was used to buy them). Thus you can set up a new iCloud account using the itunes store ID, but you'll lose data stored in the existing icloud account.
