I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?
I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Download past purchases - Apple Support

I backed up my iphone5 in the morning and later again on the same day, in the afternoon. I then restored an older backup from the morning. Now all my music files refuse to play even though they still appear on iphone. How can I resolve this?
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.
All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone. -
I have problem with the security question which i forgot the answer how can i change it as i already have apple id and password
You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password. (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
Hope that helps. If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message. -
my macbook wont allow me to use the same hotmail address as i used on my other computers. How can I keep the same email and log into it on a macbook?
That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm. -
I am trying to sync music from my iTunes library on my iMac to my iPhone. I only want selected music but I'm getting unwanted songs. How can I delete those songs on my iPhone or how can I prevent these unwanted songs that have not been selected from appearing on my iPhone? Help!

Hello. I created my apple id on a computer but whenever i try to use it on my (new) iphone, it says "review" after which nothing happens. I have not been able to purchase anything from the App store. Is there something i'm doing wrongly?
Have you looked in your email for a confirmation of the new apple id?

so I just bout a new iPhone, but I can't see my application that I have previously on the iTunes, so they can be synced to my phone
How can I get them back?There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend? -

I am unfamiliar with the recovery manager. Here are two guesses.
-- Is system profiler around? It will tell you your serial number.
Report system info
Blue apple > about this Mac
click on more info
click on hardware
You serial number will appear after Boot ROM. Do not copy hear.
--- The newer machines include a recovery partition. Perhaps looking around recovery manager would reveal something.

The process of uploading to the cloud on iTunes Match has frozen during the up load of a non-iTunes song. There are several more to go. I've stopped the upload.
1) Can I resume the upload at a different time?
2) What happened? I don't think I've exceeded my space limitations.Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected. -
How can I keep my search bar on Google and NOT Aol?
After I downloaded the latest version of AIM, my Firefox search bar keeps changing to Aol search. I loathe it. Everyday I do the about:config and change it back to Google and everyday it changes back to Aol! What can i do since changing it to Google obviously doesn't work

== a month agoHi Roxanne,
Have you scanned your computer recently for malware?
Download this tiny program called Gooredfix from here http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe
Once downloaded, close all Firefox windows.
Open the GooredFix.exe file, and in the little black box that appears, press 1 and enter.
A white window will pop up. See if anything is found under the heading ==Suspect Goored Entries==. If so, open the GooredFix.exe file again and press 2 and enter.
Open up FireFox and see if your still having issues.
Also best to check your installed programs and uninstall anything you don't want in there. Also, do the Malwarebytes scan and virus scanning in Safe Mode if possible.
Let me know if that helps--if not we'll try something else. -
