I have recently bought a Mac PC and wish to have my music for my windows laptop show up on the mac (all that shows are my purchased songs) do i have to manually add my cds somehow?
All my music that i have loaded onto my windows HP Laptop (Envy) has not shown up on my Mac PC, only the purchased songs bought through the iTunes store.
Do i have to manually load the cd's onto my Mac via a portable media unit? Or will that not work? I do not want to have to purchase all my favourite music again
Only purchases appear because they are coming Apple's own copy keeps on the Internet when it sees you have connected a computer without the purchases. Anything else has to be transferred by you.
Moving an entire library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

I have recently bought a new pc and want to transfer my music library from my iphone to itunes on my new pc
I too have just purchased a new pc and want to transfer EVERYTHING from my iPhone to the new pc. I am unable to access my old pc for the files. I have been able to transfer what I purchased on my phone but nothing else. Is there anyway to just transfer everything without having to have access to the old pc?

I have recently bought an iPhone 4S and I am trying to install iOS7. The install initially failed and I received an error message. I attempted a restore, however, the progress bar is now stuck at "Restoring iPhone software.."
I'm still attempting to restore it, but the process goes as follows
- Extracting software.
- Waiting for iphone.
- Preparing iphone software for restore.
- Verifying iphone software.
- Restoring iPhone software.
It is at this point where it begins to load approxiamtely 10% and then freezes. I have had the handset connected 7 hours with no progress and this is my third attempt since Friday. Please help.See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

Hi Pa23from Argyllshire,
This error: I have just bought an iPad mini and to transfer my contacts, music etc via iTunes on my PC, the PC crashes should not occur.
The best guess is this crash is caused due to an issue with the PC.
Make sure your iPad is updated to the latest operating system: iOS 7.0.4 and make sure iTunes is updated to iTunes 11.
iTunes 11 is optimised for iOS 7, so if you have an iOS 7 device and non iTunes 11 computer, life would be hard.
Try to update iTunes to 11.1.3 from: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Even try uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing. iTunes will not lose any of your iTunes songs when your un-install it as iTunes stores every media item in a folder found in (or around): C:\Users\NAME\Music\iTunes
Obviously iTunes and iDevices work best using Mac iTunes however; iTunes 11 and iOS 7 iPad Mini should work fine.
In summary possible solutions:
1. Update iPad Mini to iOS 7 or better (iOS 7.0.4)
2. Update iTunes to iTunes 11.1.3
3. Restart both PC and iPad
4. Uninstall iTunes from PC
Many Thanks, Happy New Year and I look forward to hearing from you regarding this crash!

When I check the link all that shows is http// and nothing else. It does this repeatedly. I am using Outlook for Windows 8.1. I haven't tried any other embedded e-mail links to see if this is a universal problem or just isolated to this particular e-mail.
Hi dscraper,
Thank you for posting your question. At this time there is a known issue that we are working on a fix for. The Outlook link is not working for Outlook 2013 email addresses. -
Hello. I'm having a problem signing onto my iPad mini. When I went to sign on yesterday the number pad to sign on moved upward and now it is out of site. Now I can't sign on the only thing that shows is the Apple logo.
Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if it helps.

HT1277 i have recently bought a macbook pro and all looks good but ...
small problem with sent mail. Previously i had windows PC with mail through Yahoo. With an apple iphone i could send/recieve mail and sent mail (in particular) would sync on all devices - my guess is via yahoo. Hovever, on the new macbook it seems that the sent mail is saved only to the macbook and not to yahoo so i cannot see my sent mail from any other device.
Any ideas how i can fix this would be appreciated.Check Mail preferences:

In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
Just an FYI John, NeoOffice is no longer free, (but it is cheap at least)
