I'm shopping for a new computer how much GB?

I'm looking at a Dell. How much GB should I get to run Photoshop and Lightroom? Most are coming with 8gb, do I need to get 16gb? It's a lot more expensive to get the 16gb.

You can buy the 8GB configuration and add more ram if there are additional sockets on the mother board.
I bought a refurbished Dell workstation from Dell because it was a refurbished machine I had not choice is the amount of Ram it would come with.
My machine came with 8GB of ECC RAM speed rating 1600. The machine had 4 empty RAM I wanted more RAM for more RAM helps when you work on documents with lots of layers. You can buy RAM from Dell as well as from third party sellers. Dell prices are somewhat higher the third party sellers and if you buy a large quantity of ram modules you can get even better prices. I added 32GB of of 1600 ECC RAM for about $300 Dell price was some what higher nearer $400. If a bought more then 10 RAM modules instead of the four I purchased the per unit price I could would have been lower.
SSD is also very desirable for Photoshop scratch space.

I got a new itunes account on my new computer. My ipod has all the music from my previous account. I would like to transfer the music from my ipod to my new account. Is this possible?

Hello hevcheer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
You can sync purchases from a ipod to computer.

For a new imac how much ram should i get?

If I buy a new iMac, I see that one can get it with 16GB or even 32GB RAM. dMy 2007 iMac has 4 GB now after I upgraded? What would the difference be?

My 10 cents worth:
The minimum configurable amount of memory of a new iMac is 8Gb But...
If you are looking at a new upgradable iMac, absolute do NOT buy the Apple RAM upgrades at the time of purchase. It is grossly overpriced, and although good quality and reliable (I've been led to believe) you can buy just as good, if not better for a lot less. I wouldn't look further than OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/) or Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/). Both offer matched pairs and kits that are guaranteed to work with your iMac and as you will see, cost a lot less than Apple. Don't be fooled by the price, they supply good quality, fast memory.
Secondly, in terms of how much RAM, the question is, what is your budget? I always believe that if you can afford it (and memory nowadays isn't that expensive) max out your system and then forget about it because:
a) There's a fair chance that you'll be upgrading it again at some point if you don't max it out.
b) You are releasing the maximum potential of your iMac (in terms of memory performance, although the jump from 16Gb to 32Gb will not be as significant as the jump from 8Gb to 16Gb))
c) If you sell it, the extra RAM will be an attractive option for any buyer.

Syncing to a new computer - How much will I lose?

My original computer that I synced my Iphone too just died and for all practical purposes is unsalvageable.
If I sync it to another my computer (my laptop), will I be able to preserve my contacts? Will I be able to make a backup of it otherwise (text messages, etc)?

You will lose your music unless it was purchased from the iTunes store. To retrieve it to the new computer first open iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. Next Authorize it by choosing *Store/Authorize computer*. Then put the iPhone in the dock. After it is recognized choose *File/Transfer purchases* from iPhone.
If you have music that was not purchased from iTunes there are 3rd party products that can retrieve this music; do a web search, as this is not officially sanctioned by Apple.
For Calendar and Contacts make sure there is at least one entry of each on the new computer before you sync. Your contacts should then sync to the new computer.
Other data will be backed up on your new computer.

As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that. If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online. You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well. YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

My computer that had Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it was hit by lightening and cannot be repaired. I want to get a copy of Photoshop for my new computer. I have an open case, but I cannot get Adobe to respond to it. I have sent the serial# and a copy of the license. Every time I try the chat function to get help, I get dropped with the message "chat is no longer available." I WANT MY PHOTOSHOP!

This is a user forum, not a channel to address Adobe. As your fellow users and volunteers, we'll be happy to help you if we can.
You can download the CS6 trial version just like anybody else.
Once you download it, you can install it, input your serial number, register it and apply all necessary updates.
An alternative, if you know how to access your Adobe account, under My Products you'll find your Photoshop CS6 registration, next to which you should find a link to download CS6 if you originally bought it as a download

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't. The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer. You could e-mail them to yourself. They will not be of the original resolution.
For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

Hi i have a new computer how do i get my back up i tunes onto the new computer ?

i have a new computer how do i get my back up music on to the new computer

Backup to what? If you have the old computer and don't have a backup then I suggest doing so, not just for this situation but it's a good idea in general to have important data backed up.
