I just purchased a Mac. I have 30-40gb if music on my external hard drive from my PC. Most of the files are .wma files. Is there a way to just plug up the external hard drive, convert, and upload files to itunes?

Hello,
I just received my Mac and I am trying to see if there is an easy way to convert all my music files from my external harddrive on my PC to iTunes. Most, if not all, the files are in .wma format. Does anyone know if I am able to connect my external harddrive, convert the files, and add them to iTunes?

If they don't contain DRM, use a program such as Switch. If they do, you can't.

i have just purchased a mac. i can't find my music icon nor my picture icon in the finder folder how do i get them.

Not sure exactly what you mean by your, "finder folder."
However, in your Finder's preferences, under Sidebar, do you have Music and Pictures checked off?

HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch onto my Mac

My MacBook was wiped of all my music and everything else, and now my iTouch is the only device with my entire music database. My iTouch is old. (Version 6.1.6, Model number: MC547LL/A) Is there any way I can put all the music on my iTouch back onto my MacBook? I hate that I could lose my entire music library by dropping my iTouch in the toilet.
I've tried to plug in my iTouch into my MacBook, but I can't seem to give the music-transfusion without subscribing to iTunes Match or just completely wiping my iTouch.
PLEASE HELP MEEEEE

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,

How do I acquire waveforms in LabVIEW on multiple trigger conditions on a Tektronix TDS5000 scope? The signals are fast, so is there a way not to use a simple loop in LabVIEW?

The signals are fast, so is there a way to acquire them without losing information? Do I have to use a loop in LabVIEW that just acquires when the trigger conditions are met?

Hi,
I would assume that the instrument has some sort of buffer that could store data while you are trying to download it. If this is not possible, you could use one of our DAQ cards to acquire data.
Hope this helps.

I just purchased my mac, I have two apple IDs and whenever I attempt to authorize my computer, it tells me that I have authorized it already. When I then try to play the song, it asks for authorization again. Help!!??!?!

Is there any way to merge my two accounts and/or eliminate the oldest one so that I can access all of my purchased media in one place? All of my software is up to date.

HT1751 I plugged in my IPhone and it tried to sync with my computer, I typed in my password wrong and now most of my pics are gone. Is there any way to get them back?

I lost most of my pictures by typing in my password wrong after plug in. Is there any way to get them back?

When you say you were "trying to run your computer in admin mode," what exactly does that mean? What did you do? Details here are critical. It's possible you are just logged into the wrong account, or something simple like that, and your files are all still there. On the other hand, it's possible they're all gone... in which case, what kind of backups do you have?

I've already paid 5 dollars to buy iMovie on my iPhone, and now I've got my macbook, I've synced my accounts and stuff, and it still wants me to pay 15 dollars to buy the app again? isn't there a way for me to get the app without paying for it again?

Ive already payed for iMovie on my phone, and it wants me to pay again for it on my macbook. Is there a way for me to get it without paying again?

The iOS and Mac versions of iMovie are in effect separate programs (coded completely differently for the two operating systems) and have to be purchased separately.

The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

Is there a way to just reset/rebuild mail in Yosemite?

Hi
As previously posted - I made a change to my spam setting (move spam to spam folder) and since then my mail quits everytime I start it up. I'm even able to get to the preference for it but it just quits.
The resolutions offered here in communities are complicated.
Is there a way to just RESET mail? Or even re-install the OS?
Thanks so much everyone!
Brian

You can reset Mail's configuration by doing the following:
If Mail is open, then close it.
Open Terminal.
Enter the following:
mv "${HOME}/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail"{,.$(date +%s)}

I have an X6 on the T Mobile network. Is there a way of getting rid of the annoying "Active Diverts" message which pops up every time when making a call?

Good luck!!!
Thanks for the suggestion but won't this stop the divert to voicemail if the phone is engaged or I don't answer?
I don't understand why the phone needs to remind me there are active diverts every time I make a call.

You would have to purchase Microsoft Office for the Mac, if you want genuine Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. There are other less costly compatible and work-alike products available.
To install Microsoft Windows, you need to buy Microsoft Windows software, run BootCamp software and partition your Boot Drive, then install Microsoft Windows in its own disk partition, which is a fairly complex process. Then, while running Windows, Install whatever other Windows programs you would like to run. None of this is necessary to simply read and write Microsoft Word or Excel documents.
There are other compatibility options that you may find adequate for other Windows programs. What do you want to run in Windows?
