I need to move my library to a new computer.  This is music downloaded from CD's.  Is the only way to do this is to sync all songs to my ipod and they transfer them to the new computer?

I need to move my library to a new computer.  my music is downloaded CD's.  Is the only way to do this to sync all songs to the ipod and them sync to new computer.  the new computer is already authorized.

If using a Mac, use Migration Assistant to move your iTunes library from old computer to new.  Afterwards you can sync from your new computer to your iPod.

    When I turn on a video the screen on my MacBook Pro freezes.  I've been through Apple Care and they couldn't fix the computer.  I think the fan and the graphics are the problems.  I can restart after two attempts.  Sometimes I use SAFEBOOT

    Please advise the model MBP you have and the OSX you have installed.
    Also try a SMC reset:

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Firewall is not working: The only way to access this forum is disabling it!

    Using Leopard Server 10.5.2:
    First: If I want to check this discussion forum, If I have enabled the firewall I can´t reach this pages or post it. If I disable the firewall then I can access the Apple discussions forum and post here!
    Second: In firewall If I want to check (read-send) mail via entourage in this server. I can not connect to the servers. I enabled all the ports that says SSL, email,mail,etc, but I can not connect to the SSL servers to check email. The only way to red-send email is disabling the firewall!
    The next one is realated to SAFARI:
    Third: If I open Safari and I try to open Hotmail.I can not access Hotmail via Safari. trying to opening that site is impossible. a link in hotmail is detected with an internal address of 10.x.x.x. (which my computer does not have). Then the only way that I have to access hotmail via Safari is disabling the firewall, then the page is opened!
    Fourth: I can not read the hotmail mails inside entourage. .. again, the only way to read and send mails from hotmail in entourage is by disabling the firewall!!!
    no one answered posts related to this in the networking forum. so I am posting it here.
    any idea????
    thanks a lot

  • HT4623 the "Do not Disturb" option started to show the moon always regardless the change of time since 1-1-2013 the only way to avoid this is to turn this option OFF

    I am used to scheduale the "Do not disturb" option since i updated to IOS 6.0.1 but in the first day of 2013 i notice =d the moon since is continuing to show on the screen i tried to change the time ans well as the scheduale but still the moon sign showing. turning off this option is the only way to get rid of the moon sign off and to be able to receive call.
    any idea why this happening and if anybody else have noticed and if there is a way to get this feature working properly?

  • Our I tunes is not allowing us to sync and update our music on any ipod. We can see our songs in music library but as soon as we plug ipod in to sync all songs have an "!" is next to them and it erased our ipods. How do you fix this?

    We can see our music in the library of our I~tunes account but we can not click on a song to listen to it. As soon as we do an "!" comes up beside it. And  we tryed to sync our ipods... as soon as we plugged them in they are recognized but they erased our ipods and an "!" was put beside each song. We can sign out and leave itunes and when we get back on our account our songs are there with NO "!".(until we plug an ipod in again) WHAT IS GOING ON!!!???

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Dear sir/ Madame sometimes firefox / explorer is locked, and the only way to tackle is to close down all explorer applications, what should I do? thank you very much

    for instance there is a web site so called fizy. I think it may be a reason for this.

    You say that 'sometimes' it gets locked ... it is quite probable that due to some reason/recent activity that you perform on your machine the memory consumptions increases a lot because of which the windows freeze.
    When it happens next time, try to open 'Task Manager' and check for 'memory consumption' also as to which process is eating max memory (then you can delete that particular process only and see whether it solves the issue)
    try this and let us know whether it helps or not

  • I have an older I-Pad and have daily recurring spam.  Always the same and some going back to January. I delete them every day and they delete them in the trash folder but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of them ?

    I have an older I-pad and have recurring spam. How do I stop it ???  I delete it every day and then delete the trash folder but it keeps coming back.  Thanks.

    For those kind of mails, unsubscribing doesn't work. they're breaking the law trying to scam you, they're not going to respect unsubscribe. Unsubscribe only works with real companies. Such as unsubscribing from Gap company mail etc. Spammers can actually use the 'unsubscribe' as a confirmation 'hey, there's a real person here, hit em hard'
    I'm not really familiar with g-mail, but most mail programs have filters you can set up, such as telling it 'everything with dating in the title, send to the trash' etc.
    You can do some research on that or have someone help you with some hands on help.
    If that e-mail has ever been used for e-greeting cards, or given to enter contests, etc, your address is out there. You will never get rid of it totally.
    If it's really, really bad, sometimes what you have to do is abandon the address and get a new one and only give it out to people you want to contact you. Don't  enter it on websites, or use e-cards or things like that that are spam collection mechanisms.

  • My ipod is broken. The home button doesn't work, so I took it to a tech shop and they also said that the LCD cable was broken and my screen is cracked. Will apple fix my ipod or just replace it?

    I would like to know if apple will replace it. If not, then I will take somewhere cheaper but it has some scratches so I would like to get a new one.

    The home button doesn't work, the LCD cable is broken and the screen is cracked!  Wow.  That's the worst case of abuse that I've seen.  I think that Apple will laugh at you.
