I recently broke my laptop and had to replace it. How can I back up the things on my iPhone before attempting to sync it so that I do not lose everything?

It wouldn't be such a huge deal if all of my music was from iTunes but I've gotten it from several different places and I really don't want to lose all of it. I'm not very techy so any help that's explained very thoroughly would be appreciated. Also I don't want to lose my texts or anything else I have on my phone right now. I've tried clicking the backup to this computer option on iTunes but when I tried to add a movie that I purchased on my laptop to my phone and sync it, it said that my phone was synced with another computer and it would erase my phone first. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup to put everything on the new computer.

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it, how can I get another copy of lion OS, P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OS

If you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover.

Please assist. How can I make all the photos on my Iphone visible? and not only the recently added ones? I'm using IOS 8

Did you move to iOS 8 via iTunes? Your photos should all be on your iPhone 5s without any issues even if you updated via WiFi. The update should have no impact on your photos other than to have moved any photos in your former Camera Roll to your Photos. When opening the Photo App you should see Photos and Albums available at the bottom of the screen. You can also look at Settings>General>About and looking down the list your should see the word Photos and a Count at the right. This count should represent all of the photos in your iPhone.

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I used a purchased program iannotate to download, highlight and store many documents. My ipad is brocken and I m ahtinking of getting it replaced by Apple for a payment of 240 or so. Is there a way to make sure that I do not lose pdf documents in iA?

I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
Just some thoughts for now.

ive got a new pc with windows 7 and my ipod touch 4th gen is synced with my old pc ,how can i back up the photos and music on the ipod to my new pc ?

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

My usb won't work in my laptop and my ipad is disabled, how can i connect it to itunes?

For some reason i decided to let my little brother watch the match on my iPad mini. He then decided to disable it and now i can't get onto it. I have so many important pictures, videos and infomation on there i cannot afford to lose any! Please help.

You need to find a computer with working USB ports and install iTunes on that computer to get the Apple device drivers. Then you can hopefully copy your pictures and videos. If the computer cannot recognize the device because it is disabled, then you will have to restore. You will lose anything on the iPad that was not purchased through iTunes such as your pictures and videos.
Your other option is to go to an Apple store and explain the situation and perhaps the store can extract your information.

Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it. The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs. I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone. And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library.
I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete." The list of tracks disappears from the device list. I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone. What am I missing, please? I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes.
Help, please?

Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

Hello. I have Adobe Captivate 6 and wanting to upgrade. How can I upgrade to the new Captivate 8 since I do not have 7 or access to 7? Doesn't make since I'd have to buy another full version opposed to simply upgrading what I have. Please help.

How can I upgrade Adobe Captivate 6 without purchasing the full version of the new Captivate 8?
I'm told that the window of opportunity to upgrade to 7 was short and now that 8 is out i cannot leap from 6 to 8. Doesn't make since that I'd have to buy a full version of a program I already own.
Can anyone help me with a simple upgrade possibility?

It stinks that there isn't an upgrade option from 6, but it's due to the new subscription option for Captivate which actually ends up being far cheaper for you in the long run. Captivate 7 came out a little over a year ago the upgrade for that was the same as the 7 to 8 upgrade. As the upgrade is $400 and a subscription is only $20 per month, or $240 for a year, you'll end up saving money should the next upgrade come out in another year.

I've downloaded music on my iphone 4s and went to plug it into my computer and I don't know how to make sure it doesn't wipe my iphone clean when it syncs.

I'm plugging my iphone into my computer for the first time and it is asking me if I want to "set up my iphone". I have already loaded a lot of things onto my iphone directly from the device and want to know if it will all clear out when I sync it to my computer.
