I'm considering a refurbished Mac.  Can I bring it and my current mac into a store to transfer data?

Yes, if you make prior arrangements. However, you can do the transfer yourself. See:
OS X Lion- How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
You can connect the two computers via Firewire - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire - and use the Setup Assistant on the new computer to migrate your files to the new computer. If you have a Time Machine or other backup you can migrate your files from the backup.

  • TS3274 I downloaded netflix and it's not showing up and if I go into App Store it says it's downloaded but it won't open. Can anyone help me?

    I downloaded Netflix from the App Store and it won't show up on my iPad and when I go into the store it says downloaded and open but it won't open. I tried deleting it and reinstalling it but I can't figure out how to uninstall it either. Please help

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Try when connected to another network
    - Update via iTunes on a computer.

    Email it, then tap the attachment on your iPhone to view it.  Or, upload it to a cloud service like Dropbox and use the free dropbox app to access it.

  • Can I just drag and drop song files into iTunes?

    I have about 50 folders on my PC (Windows 7), each containing between 5 and 15 songs. These are under My Music/ on the PC.
    On my Mac, I have about 1000 songs with about 25 Playlists. Some of these Playlists on the Mac contain the same songs as in the folders of the PC.
    I want to transfer the songs from the PC to the Mac. I did not want to go through them one by one on each computer to see which of the files on the PC were already on the Mac.
    I can look at the PC (My Music) folders and the Mac (iTunes) Playlists side by side on the Mac.
    If I see a missing song on the Mac Playlist folder, can I just drag and drop that particular song from the PC folder into the Mac Playlist?
    If I see that a Playlist does not exist that would need to be available for the specific folder contents on the PC, can I create the Playlist on the Mac and then, drag and drop all of the songs from the PC folder to the new Playlist?
    Would this be the easiest way to accomplish the transfer of the songs?
    Thanks

    If I understand that all correctly then yes.

  • My phone is frozen....this is the second phone that has done this.  How can I get my phone working without going into a store spending countless hours only for them to minimize the problem.

    My phone froze this morning while I was replying to an email.  Is there anything I can do to get it working and to avoid going into Apple?

    Assuming it is charged and did not shutdown due to low battery, have you tried an power off/on?  Or a reset by holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts?

  • Can I bring my broken iPhone 5c to the Apple store to get a new one?

    The screen of my iPhone 5c is seperaring from the back of the phone. Can I bring it back to the Apple Store to get a new one for free

    If it's under warranty and they determine it's a defect and not caused by abuse, yes. If it's out of warranty or was physically damaged, then no. You'll need to pay for an out of warranty replacement.

  • I have just bought a mac pro and when i log into ap store i can't see any of my downloads that are on my ipad2

    I have just bought a mac book pro and when i go to the Ap store none of my previous downloads to my ipad and phone are there, why?

    Because iOS and Mac OS X software isn't cross-compatible. If you're going to the iTunes App Store and not the Mac App Store, none of your purchases on other devices will be listed there unless you put them onto the new computer.

  • I'm trying to find an easier way to import my music to iTunes. Even the most basic music player can scan your computer and import found music into your library. I don't want to move my MP3s into the iTunes folder, I don't want iTunes doing any conversion.

    I'm trying to find an easy way to import my MP3 collection into iTunes without moving, copying or changing it.
    I can't believe that iTunes doesn't have this feature, as even the most basic music players always have this.
    I only use iTunes to sync my iPod, as I like Media Monkey to play my MP3s.
    I have 137GB of MP3s, mainly from my ripping my CDs, LPs and downloading from Amazon. I've only purchased a handful of songs from iTunes,
    Any ideas on how to do this easily?

    It does have that feature. Why would you assume that it doesn't?

    Okay, no problem.
    If the top bar menu is not displayed in top left of your iTunes Library, use the CTRL+B keys to turn it on:
    On that menu, use File/Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder you wish to add:
    If you wish to add just one song, notice the File/Add File to Library command on that menu as well.
    Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop from the file's location into your iTunes Library.
    That's all there is to it.
    By the way, it is possible to have Amazon MP3s downloaded to your computer and then automatically added to the iTunes Library by the Amazon downloader. I do it all the time.

  • How do you get to the DOS prompt so that you can type in the info to help get into itunes store???  One post said search cmd, right click, run as administrator but where is the search cmd??

    Have been struggling for days trying to get into the itunes store.  Have contacted support with no help.  I have been reading how some have typed something into a DOS prompt and have resolved their issues.  One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?  There was also a post about typing something into the DOS prompt....how do I get to this?  Can someone please help??? SOOOOO FRUSTRATING.  Thanks much...Carrie (Mike's wife:))

    One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?
    In the search field in your Vista start menu, type cmd
    Next, right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".

  • Can't Cancel Subscription and Am Currently Being C...

    I am trying to find out how to cancel my Skype Premium subscription. There are no subscriptions under the "My Subscriptions" area on the homepage of my account. But I can't remove my credit card from my account due to a reoccuring payment to a subscription. This is beyond infuriating and would just like to have my subscription canceled. It's nearly impossible to find and contact customer support directly even when following thier FAQs.

    Hi,
    I have been using Skype from a long time from india. Whenever I am in USA i use Skype Paid International calling to call back my Home country India. Most recently I was in USA and got a subscription of 800 minutes one month calling at around 9$. Skype India mobile and Landline calling have been declared as to be discontinued from 10 Nov. I received a bill today(8 Nov 2014) with re charge of the 800 minutes subscription india calling. I am surprised to see that why I was billed even if India calling is no more being allowed from Skype. As well as my subscription is showing 11 minutes left. I think this is some mistake on Skype end. I have summarized my problems below.
    1. I have been charged/billed with a subscription which is no longer valid in India.
    2. Although I have billed with such amount My subscription minutes are only 11.
    3. I am trying to disconnect my subscription but from last 5 hours I am getting the following message and I am not able to end my subscription.
    "Oops, something went wrong...
    We're having technical problems. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again after a few minutes.
    Thank you.
    If your issue is persistent then please kindly contact our Customer Support with reference ID: REQUEST-4272d175/2014110809"
    4. There is no process to contact any one responsible for this from Skype. I really spend my hour to finally get to this point where I can share my problem with some one.
    I would request Skype to reimburse my money and cancel my subscription. I would also like to have a written explanation on why this happened.
    Please HELP!

  • HT4528 I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I wanted to find out - can I bring my old iphone 4 to the apple store and get a new iphone 5 through the apple store instead of verizon?  Will it cost the same to get the phone as through Verizon?

    I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I am trying to find out if I can get my phone through the Apple store?  I have an iphone 4 and am hoping to upgrade to a iphone5.  Just want to make sure if the price is the same as if I went to a Verizon store to upgrad. 

    I don't believe they were looking for a trade in, they are due for a subsidized Verizon upgrade. I think the bringing the iPhone 4 was for setting it up and transferring as Verizon does not require you to swap your previous phone for an upgrade.

  • I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine.  I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

    I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option?  I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt!  Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours???  I've been hearing these horror stories...

  • Why can I not drag-and-drop email addresses into Address Book?

    I've used today the email client and the email address autocompletion feature figured out nicely the email addresses of the recipients I wanted to send the email to. So far so good. However, when I've selected all addresses in the To line, I would have liked to be able to drag-and-drop them into the Address Book application, automatically have new entries created there and why not a new group too?

    No, that is not possible. However, [Mail Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has a script to add every address to the address book, allowing you to pick which ones go to which group and to add a new group, if you want.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

    Hi,
    I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
    Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
    Thanks,
    AM

    Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

  • Can no longer copy and paste from browser into illustrator - get placeholder that says "QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture"

    We upgraded our iMacs to Yosemite and lost functionality on Illustrator CS4.  We can save a picture to the desktop and then drag or 'place' the image to the Illustrator document, but if we drag directly from the browser or cut/copy/paste, we get a placeholder stating 'QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture'.  .png, .psd, and .tiff files give a missing plugin error.

    Illustrator CS4 and Yosemite aren't fully compatible. Some folks might have succeeded in getting it to run, but most have not.
