I upgraded my hard drive and my ipod no longer recognizes my computer. It will not sync. What should I do?
I upgraded my hard drive and my ipod no longer recognizes my computer. It will not sync. What should I do?
- First get iTunes to see the iPod:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- The transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

My title question pretty much explains it all but here are a few more details. I have tried almost everything I could think of before restoring my Ipod. I switched cords, turned it off before I plugged it in, I turned it on before I plugged it in, I manually tried to sync it, I turned of the computer and restarted, and after all that I finally restored it . But before all of this I was having other problums with it as well. It will freeze up when I use certain apps and also has a tendency to switch album covers, though now theres no album covers left on the ipod, the my itunes library is still fully intact... What should I do?
Sorry for the typos, I hope my message still gets across!

I have 2011 iMac it came with os x 10.6.6 i just upgraded the hard drive and now i cannot install OS X 10.6.6 every time i start installing after selecting the language it come up with error " OS X can't be installed on this mac " please help
Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
Then, install OS X. -
I have a version Adobe pro 7.1, my old computer hard drive failed, tried to install on my Windows 8.1, will not start up get error message? any solutions? It worked perfectly fine on my old computer which was windows 7.0
Hey,
I am sorry but Acrobat 7 is not at all compatible with Windows 8. For this, you will need to upgrade your Adobe Acrobat version.
For better understanding, please refer this kb file:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?
An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.
you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

I have a new ipod Classic 160GB. I already have an Itunes account. The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
What do I need to do?Hi Amy2250,
Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
Good luck,

4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

My sim tray is locked, and whenever I put the sim eject tool in the hole beside it, it will not open, what should i do?
Use a small thin piece of plastic (metal tools are likely to scratch the case) and work along the seams of the tray. In all likelihood your tool is unlocking it but the tray itself is a bit gummed up, jammed. Be patient, don't force things, and you'll probably get it open in short order.

I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?
I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?
If you see the "Purchased" option on the main screen of the iTunes Store, here's what I'd do:
1) Go into your library and delete the file if it downloaded. If not, go to your downloads and delete it from there to stop it from download.
2) Go to the Purchased pane in the main iTunes Store section, locate the item, and try the download again.
Also, you may wish to turn off any anti-virus or anti-malware programs before you try this again, as that sometimes is what can be blocking the download. Otherwise, contact iTunes Store Support:

maybe you can help....I can receive mail fine, but when I open or delete emails from my iphone or computer, it will not sync with each other....so I have 600 emails on my iphone and 100 on my computer..I have looked at everything I can think of
I don't know about the systems, but is your phone on wireless and your other device on wireless? Then I think they would mutually update.
Howerver the previous response from ckuan sounds much more informed so I would check that out. -

Upgrade MacBook - Hard Drive and RAM
I want to upgrade my daughter's early 2008 white MacBook - both internal drive and RAM. I know how to install both and have done so before. I have purchased the internal drive, the RAM and a large external drive for Time Machine backups now and for the future. I also want to install Lion. I'm not sure of the sequence... Here is what I propose:
1) format the new external hard drive and then back up the current internal drive using Time Machine.
2) install the new RAM.
3) install the new internal drive.
4) boot up using Snow Leopard DVD. Install OS 10.6
5) upgrade to 10.6.8
6) install Lion.
7) import all of her applications, files, etc. from the Time Machine backup.
8) done?
Is this correct - will all work?
9) back up the new internal drive using Time Machine.
Will step #9 work when I select "Back Up Now" from the Time Machine?
10) If yes, is her itunes account, etc. ready to use? Can she sync iphone as before?
Thanks.I can make this easier for you:
1) Download and install SuperDuper.
2) Using SuperDuper, make a clone of the current internal drive to the large external.
3) Test the clone by booting to the external drive
4) If good, install the new internal drive.
5) Boot from external, and use SuperDuper in reverse (clone back to new internal).
6) When done, boot the mac normally. Upgrade to Lion, and all should be good.
