I have updated my Imac to Mavericks and now my parallells won't work and I have reinstalled as per the instructions. Please help as all my data is on a hardrive that is formatted for PC.

Yes I just discovered that this morning but I have purchased another external harddrive and formatted it for both and am in the process of transferring the files across it and then I will erase the old harddrive and reformat it so I can use it.
I have learnt to format harddrives from this experience but am happy to see the back of parallells.
Thank you for your help though it is much appreciated.

My Iphone 4 is recognized by Iphoto, but not Itunes. I have updated to iTunes 11.1, and the iPhone to iOS7. I have check the cable, and even tried a brand new cable.

Have you tried using VLC media player it seems to play almost any codec without converting.

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

I put all my music from my iphone on my computer and now i only have the new music i just bought and it wont sync and i have to restore my phone and all my new music i will have to repurchase all my new music i can i get it to sync without it happening

my phone wont sync and it wont put music on my pohone and the new music i just bought will be deleted if i restore my ohine and i will have to re buy all the music i have recently bought

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

How do you run to Drives on the same screen. I installed a ssd and a hhd to my mac but i can only view the content of the drive only if i boot of that drive. Im try to have my ssd for fast boots and hhd for my music,movies etc. Please help.

I installed a samsung 840 pro SSD to my primary slot and relocated my 1.5 TB HDD to a data double where my optical drive was. I transfered my apps and Mac OS X to my SSD for fast boots and all my itunes movies, music, Iphoto etc to my HDD. I rebooted off my SSD then seen all the data on my HHD itunes movies, music, iphotos etc i cannot view on my SSD. So my question is how do you view all the content on both the ssd and hdd on the same screen with having to boot off one or the other?

No, what I'm saying is that once you boot into OSX, you should be able to see both drives listed. If you don't then either OSX is hiding the other drive because it sees it as a boot drive and is trying to protect the contents from novice users or there's another problem. If it's the first thing (i.e. it's a protection thing), then your only option would be to boot into the old drive, copy off all your personal data to an external backup drive, then reboot into the SSD and go into Disk Utilities and wipe/reformat the second drive so that you can see it as a regular secondary drive. Then when you see it as that, you can copy your data back to it.
Be carefull poking around in Disk Utility as you can easily lose your data. It's possible the Mac just isn't mounting that second drive because it sees it as another boot drive. Whatever you do, don't accidentally erase it without getting a copy of your data off of it because you obviously don't have that on your SSD now.

Backed up Iphone 3 before updating to 4.2. Now all my info (contacts, photos etc) are from 2 years ago. It did sync a current backup??

I backed up my Iphone 3 before updating to 4.2. Now all my info (contacts, phone, calendar, apps, books) from the last 1 1/2 years is gone. Where is all my current stuff? Why will it not restore my current info? Thanks!!

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

My iphone switched over to my moms phone and my number and all my contacts picture..etc is gone..how do i get it back?

I plugged my iphone into itunes for the first time today, and when i did it asked me if i wanted to start a new account or use an existing one and since i already have an account for my ipod i clicked existing one. However as soon as it did that it started backing up to my moms iphone so i attempted to stop it and ended up just unplugging it from my computer. As soon as i did that the screen turned to the black screen with the apple on it. When i turned it back on my phone had switched to my moms phone. All my texts contacts and pictures were gone...her number is now under 2 phones..mine and hers. My number is compltely non-existant at the moment and i have no idea how to get all my stuff back. Please help me!

Reinstall iTunes application.
Copy /Music/iTones/ folder from your backup you made before you wiped the computer, to /Music/ then open iTunes.

I downloaded OS X Maverick and all of my data is gone, photos, iTunes, etc

I just updated to OS X Maverick and all of my data on my laptop is gone. Photos, I tunes, everything. How do I get it back?

If no recent backups, shutdown the computer and take it to a local PC/Mac tech that does data recovery, they likely also can fix your problem.
Hardware problems, take it into Apple.

I recently had my computer cleaned out and I plugged my Iphone up and all of my music (2500 songs) are gone. Please help

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Updated mac to maverick and all my files from pages have greyed out and won't open ?

I use pages and also save a PDF when ive typed a document I updated to Maverick and all my pages and pdfs from before I updated have greyed out and I cannot open them help please

thank you Eric, but any of those solutions works because on Maverick the options on itunes: "Tap on the Info pane, then De-select the option to Sync Notes" is not longer available. Also, I have tried all those steps about de-select sync notes on iphone and mac. I need a solution that consider working on Maverick.
