I originally bought an iMac 17 which crashed. Have now bought a second-hand iMac20. This has less preinstalled software, no iDVD, no iPhoto, Garageband, no iWeb. Can I use my original discs to restore these options to my new computer? Problems with this?

You might be able to depending on the age of the disc and the model of your newer used iMac. Only way to tell is to pop in the DVD and see if you can install the iLife programs.

I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if the iphone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.
It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining. WHat is the issue here?
Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

Just got a new computer-problems with transferring music to iPod
I just got a new MacBook Pro and am having some weird problem when I try to transfer my music to my iPod. I transferred all of my music from my old Powerbook G4 to my new computer. When I hook up my iPod to my new computer to update it, it gives me a message for some of my songs (most of which were already on my iPod) saying that it "cannot transfer these songs because I am not authorized to play them on this computer", and it removed them from my iPod. Most of these songs are ones that I actually purchased from the iTunes music store, ironically. Is there a way to get my new computer to recognize these songs so that I can put them back on my iPod?

New Computer, problems with sync with ipod
After buying a new Computer, i downloaded iTunes, got it started and registrated at the iTunes-Store, which copied my iTunes-Acquisitions on to my new Computer. After connecting my new PC to my iPod, itunes wants to erase all the stuff on my iPod and upload only my iTunes-Acquisitions, all my CDs, which I had put on my iPod would be lost. The message says "Your iPod is currently connected to another iTunes-mediathek, if you proceed, your data on you iPod will be erased and your current iTunes library will be copied to your iPod...(iTunes talks German to me, so I translated it). How can I get all the stuff, which is on my old PC's iTunes-Library, to my new PC's Library?
Thanks a lot!!
AndreeEasiest way is to copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to the new computer.

New computer problems with itunes library
I really hope someone can help me. I have purchased a new laptop as my old one died and when i have plugged in my iphone and none of my music is available in the library - I understand that all the files are stored on my old computer but is there anyway i can get my existing music into the new library that has been created?
Hopefully that will make sense.
ThanksiTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod or iPhone to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod or iPhone as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive -
I just bought an Imac. I have an ipad2 and an iphone 4s. My wife has an iphone 4s. Both of us have different apple ids. Would you recommend a new one or use an existing id? Why?
It is best to stop making all new apple IDs, as software is permanently tied to them, and you can't converge them. Make differnt ones if you plan to get divorced though....

I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it. It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized. I no longer have any of those 5 computers. How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer since it is not authorized.
ThanksYou can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC. -
I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
ThanksI tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help -
how can I use microsoft word, power point and those apps in my new iMac ? i bought this iMac yesterday so am new on tho and i would like to know
If you absolutely must have the Microsoft applications, you can purchase and download them from http://microsoft.com/mac.
Free software suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice offer similar functionality (word processing and spreadsheets).
Or you could do worse than look at Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which should already be installed in your Mac and can export to Microsoft formats if need be.

How can I restore my itunes on a new computer from an external hard drive without a back up?
How can I restore my itunes on a new computer?
I use an external hard drive to store all my information i.e. music / apps / movies but my current laptop has just blown up so now using a temp laptop.
I am looking to try & restore my itunes & all of its information like my playlists / apps & everything else from the hard drive but it does not have a back up in the programmes to restore from that.
Currently running Windows 7.
All I want to do is have my itunes back without the pain of looking & reloading all my info which will take me an age.
Any hints tips or advice that has worked for you would be greatly appreciated.Did you store the media library files on the external drive as well?
If so press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, use the choose option, and connect to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
If not you will need to start a new library and import the content into it. Do you have any devices that might hold ratings and playlists that could be recovered? If so see the second and third entries from the bottom of the table of recovery tools in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, and read the rest of it if you have any iOS devices.
