I just got my iMac and would like to sync my iPhone to it. It says its linked to another library. It asks to delete contents before syncing. I don't want to lose what I've bought on the phone. How do I get around this?

Help? Suggestions.

Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc.
Follow the instructions included with this link for transferring your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer.

What is the precise wording of the error message that occurs on the old iPhone when attempting to do a backup?
Are you attempting to backup via iTunes on the computer or iCloud?

HT201274 We want to reset my daughters ipod but when we go to erase all content and settings it asks for a restriction password and we have no idea what that is noone remembers making one how do we get around this.

We are wanting to reset our ipod but when we go to erase all content it asks us for a restriction password and we have no idea what that is and dont remember ever setting one up. How do we get around this.?

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
As Ana said,
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Just got ipad mini and would like to remove old ipad from iCloud - how do I do this?

I just got an ipad mini and would like to remove my old ipad from iCloud (but keep the mini in the iCloud) how do I do this?

What is it you want to remove? You can remove the backup of your old iPad by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Documents>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your old iPad under Backups and scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Backup. To remove iCloud from your old iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account at the bottom. If you want to keep a copy of the synced data on your old iPad be sure to choose Keep on iPad when prompted.

Verizon incredible blocks the install as it is not downloaded from the market, how can I get around this?

Verizon Droid Incredible running android 2.1 will not allow the install as it was not downloaded via android market. Is there a way around this, or is there a version in the market?

In the Android "Settings" app, go to "Applications" and check the box labeled "Unknown sources." This will allow installation of non-Market apps.
Some carriers (like AT&T) disable this setting, but I don't think that Verizon does.

HT201209 I have credit but have not got my old redemption code. I dont need it (according to the help on apple) but cant purchase as I am been asked for the code how do I get around this?

I have redeemed a code a few months back and bought some music. I have credit left but am still being asked for a redemption code. I no longer have the code, but according to apples help topics I do not need it. How do I purchase without the code?

OK, you need to follow these instructions to remove the old iCloud account:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your current ID and password. Edit your ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change your password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the page. Depending on the iOS that you are running you will see either Delete Account or Sign Out. Click on this to Delete/Sign Out of the old iCloud account. Follow the prompts, and type in your current password when asked. Continue to follow the prompts until the account is signed out/deleted
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old email address and your current password, and edit your Apple ID back to the new ID. You may need to verify it again
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID
Cheers,

When I try and buy apps for my mac, it is asking me to answer questions that i gave the answers to years ago...I do not remember the answers, how can i get around this?

Someone help me, I need to download Apps for college.

I refer you to a very good Apple information page on this subject.

I cannot sync my phone because my device is locked and the screen is broken. how can i get around this?

My screen on my iPhone 5s 16g has broken and i just received a new one in the mail. i want to sync my old phone to iTunes so i can restore my new one, but cannot sync do to the fact that my screen is broken and i am unable to unlock the phone… how can i get around this?

You don't. If you use a 3rd party to "fix it" or attempt to do it yourself, Apple will reject the return and charge you the full price of the phone as if you had not returned it at all.
It's too late. You should have been backing up before it failed.

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap legal version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?
I understand that Photoshop 5 is not compatible?
I used to use CS5 at work which was very good, doing a little reserach it appears as if this suite has been replaced by a monthly 'cloud' charge which for me as a basic home user is unnecessary.
Appreciate any help.

Hello Simonlala;
Anyone that buys an iMac should not have to buy "cheap". it's like putting "retread tires" on a brand new Farrari! Ugh!
To find a cheap version of PS is to locate an obsolete version only? Software surplus business may have some or check the obituary columns to see if any Photographers or Gaphic Designers have left some things behind?
Some options...enroll in a community college Multimedia class and you will not only have access to Photoshop, you'll have access to much more software for the price of the course. It will also qualify you as a student and you can get a discounted rate on the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as well.
If you are only making "simple flyers" would not MS Word or OpenOffice software do the job for you? There are applications for that purpose and Photoshop is not the only way to skin this cat! Or you can always buy a box of Crayola's and make a pamphlet that way?
And as a bonus, you may learn something from the course you enroll in.
I am a student and subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud...it's reasonable for my purposes for now.

You might consider restoring to factory specs, as detailed in the booklet that shipped witht the machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot, and then reinstalling those new programs. i've not moved pictures, so you could always give that a shot.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from Dell pc via home share method. All goes well but directions say to click the import button. I don't see an import button anywhere. If I close itunes on pc it also disappears from imac.

Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from dell pc using home share method. All goes well until the end when directions say to click import button. I don't see one anywhere. If I shut down itunes in the pc the library also disappears from the imac. Am I doing something wrong?

check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

no.
that's expected behavior.
