You should contact the department of studies at the school and ask what types of application that you might have to use.  If there are Windows based ones, then you may have to consider installing Windows in your MBA or get a PC.  This could have an influence on the amount of storage the MBA should have.

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

  • I just find out many images missing from my most important project for no reason and don´t know what to do!

    I was checking my SDHC cards to see which ones had already been downloaded to my computer and sudenly after I inserted one of the cards an anouncement poped out telling me Aperture had trouble importing many files... since this card had already been downloaded in one of my projects and had been working on some of the pictures I did not mind and took the card out and formated it in my camera (as I said before all the pictures had been downloaded before!) and I went to work on Apperture. When I opened the project I was going to work in I found lots of pictures missing!
    I don´t know how to recover this pictures or if it can be done!
    This is my most important project to date!
    I will greatly appreciate any help.

    Hello Léonie,
    I will try to be more specific:
    I inserted my memory card and opened Aperture. I Pressed import and chose an existing project as a destination after choosing only the pictures I wanted to keep for imediate use (done this same precedure before). The importing procedure started and everything was "normal" but the "procesing" indicator (the spinning circle in the low left corner) never stoped (even the day after) so I quit Aperture,turned of my computer and took out the memory card.
    Later I restarted my computer, oppened Aperture and saw all the pictures I wanted there, I even made versions and worked on some of them and everything was fine so far... The big problem came when I was cheking my memory cards -days later- to erase some of them for reuse and to make a back up copy of the full card in a diferent folder on the desktop of my computer (as I told before In Aperture only downloaded some pictures) and inserted the card that presented the continus "procesing" inconvinience: Somehow it created a link to Aperture and a notification poped telling me that some files where unable to download...
    Since I had already seen and worked with the files in Aperture I thought the message was a mistake (the files had been imported ok before!) so I took out the card and reformated it in my camera (BIG MISTAKE!) and for my surprise when I wanted to work with this files and their versions and opened Aperture all of them were gone as If they had never been imported!
    I opened the back up folder on my desktop just to find none of the files was saved there even though the downloading had run fine...
    I tried to restore my Aperture library from Time Machine this morning but I think I made another BIG MISTAKE when answered to replace my library instead of keeping both... I found some files replaced, none of the diferent versions I had done, some files missing, some foulty tumbnails and God knows what else...
    I´m very frustrated and disapointed and don´t know if there is anything I can still do to recover my files...
    I don´t know if I should blame Apple´s Aperture or the card´s manufacturer for the origin of this problem but how can I trust my work to this combination of factors?
    Thanks for your concern Léonie and have a good new year!

  • How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

    How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

    If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of 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 properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies 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 from a device 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

  • Is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts?  if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

    is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts?  if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

    I often use my shuffle while exercising, cleaning, and just generally going about my day. Never once has it come unclipped exept for when I got the earbud cord caught on something and got said earbuds yanked out of my ears. I have permanently solved that problem by simply running the cord under my shirt. Works like a charm! I can't answer you about the nano, though I'd say it has a higher likelihood of coming off as it is a bit heavier.

    I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!  Can anyone help??

    You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes.  Then you entered a password.
    It would be that specific password it is asking for.

  • Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free?  Many thanks

    Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free?  Many thanks in advance!

    Whether you need to buy Mac OS X 10.7.3 depends on what version of OS X you have now.
    If you have OS X 10.6.x or lower it is a paid upgrade from the Mac AppStore.
    If you have OS X 10.7.x it is a free upgrade you get using Software Update on your Mac.

  • My legally licensed CS6 has stopped working and reverted to trial mode.  I paid a bundle for this and don't care to pay more to keep the software I legally own.  There seems to be no customer support for this anymore, what do I do?

    My legally licensed CS6 has stopped working and reverted to trial mode.  I paid a bundle for this and don't care to pay more to keep the software I legally own.  There seems to be no customer support for this anymore, what do I do?
    The only answers I found were things like:
    Upgrade to CC or You're out of luck.
    This is not okay.
    Please Help!

    "Similar" problem here. I have bought a new PC, and want to install my precious CS5.5 to the new system.
    All I get is an "illegal serial number" message. Even though I deactivated on the old pc and even though I copy the serial (for the pc version) from my official products page (or whatever that page is called)...
    That's when the ordeal started to get someone at Adobe to figure out what is wrong.
    No voice support for my "old" version. 2011? Old? Come on?!
    The chat support is a Turin test, with no solution whatsoever.
    The websites linked to in the final "chat" lines which should answer my questions are utterly useless.
    So last attempt: I try overhere... and add my questions to you, OP...
    Note that the only way in which I can get a fast human reply is by calling the number for buying the new CC! Shame on you Adobe!
