  • I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded?

    I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • I have an apple id which I have been happily using to purchase from iTunes and it appears on iPad and iPhone. Now I have done something wrong in iCloud and my mobile me Id comes up on iPhone and iPad so I can no longer purchase. What should I do.

    I have an apple id which I have been happily using to purchase from iTunes and it appears magically on iPad and iPhone, MacBook and partner's iPod touch. Now I have done something wrong in iCloud and my mobile me Id comes up on iPhone and iPad so I can no longer purchase using this and i can't find a way to reset  What should I do? I want to be able to buy apps from iPhone and iPad from this same account and  still synch with my mac book and share with my partner's iPod touch.
    Any suggestions?

    We are users, not Apple. We cannot trace your phone, and neither can Apple.
    Please change every password you have. Posting your email addresses and Apple IDs on a public forum is insane. Hopefully a Mod will edit them out for you.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

    You are welcome, ameronweb.
    To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
    If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

  • I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

    Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

    If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
    1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
    2 - Click "Network"
    3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
    4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
    5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
    6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
    7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
    8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
    9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
    10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
    11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
    12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
    13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

  • I have os x 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to os x 10.6.8.  What do I need to do to get started?

    i have os x 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to os x 10.6.8.  What product do I need to upgrade to?  I cant seem to find os x 10.6.8, I can only see OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion, and I am not sure what is what, and if my machine (MacBook from 2008 running os x 10.5.8) is compatible or not.  Please help!  Thanks, Rob

    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

  • I have acquired a  old G5 MAXC and need to make it wireless?

    I have acquired a  old G5 MAXC and need to make it wireless?

    The majority of G5 iMacs shiped with a built-in Airport Extreme card. Started with models shipped in May 2005. To see if yours has woreless already installed, , please do "About this Mac" for your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More info.." button. That opens System Profiler.
    There is a right-hand "Contents" pane; from it, select "Airport" from the "Network section. Should look like this:
    If the main pane shows similar entries to the ones in the example, you have wireless capability.
    If you do not have an Airport card present, they are now rather inexpensive on the used/pulled market:

  • I have Photoshop CS5.5 Design Premium and need to open Nikon NEF files

    I have Photoshop CS5.5 Design Premium and need to open Nikon NEF files.
    I just downloaded the plug in for CS5.5 and it does not work. I put the Camera Raw.8bi file in the correct location as specifiec in the "read me" file.
    Can someone guide me on how to do this, adn make it work?
    Thank you.
    Jay

    so far no luck.
    I ran DNG program for Windows (I have Win 8) and ran the menu to convert
    the files on the same memory card from the camera.   Of 135 files, the
    status column for the first 68 files said "converted," but the for all the
    rest, it says "There was an error writing the file."
    Of the files that "converted," they do not open, and I get the same error
    message as before: "Could not complete your request because it is not the
    right kind of document."
    So, what a mess.
    I get conflicting indications of the version of Photoshop I have. When i
    click "About Photoshop in the Help menu, it says CS5 Extended.    The Error
    message for the dng files says CS5.1 Extended.  Does it make a difference?
    I've been at this three hours now.  It's a pain.   For many years I had no
    problem with NEF files, as I had installed the plug-in as required. This
    time it is not working. So I am not new to this.

    I have 2010 macbook white 13 inch and need a replacement battery - where can i find the specs needed for the replacement?

    The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you for $129. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

    Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.
