I want to add more music to my I Pad from computer (I Tunes)
I have been told that if I do I will lose all the current music on I Pad
As this has not been backed up I do not wish to lose the I Pad music.
But is this correct if it is how do I add music to I Pad without losing
the current lists
Any help appreciated

If its never been synced to this particular computer then by default that is true.
iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

    Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.

  • My external speakers have stopped working. A circle with a line through it shows up when I try to adjust the volume.  I have been in system prefrences to check all the sound settings and everything is set properly.  What do I need to do to fix this. Help!

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

  • When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why?  I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.

    1. set up as new
    2. transfer you wife's purchases.
    3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.

  • My macbookpro died and I have been using my boyfriends macbook (the itunes is an earlier incarnation of my itunes) and have been using his pro to charge, all the music has disappeared from my iphone but shows up when i plug it in to charge on his macbook,

    My macpro got wet and I have been using my boyfriends macpro to charge my iphone over the weekend, his itunes is an early version of my itunes library. I have no music showing in my ipod on my iphone. When I plug it in to the macpro it shows my music, and an up to date show of all my playlists new music etc when I click on my iphone icon, how do I get it back? Can I back up and sync from his library? Can I just back up my phone on his library and restore from that, will I get an exact copy, new stuff and all back??
    Any help appreciated

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • I need to re-download Acrobat 8 standard which I bought from Adobe some years ago, but have been told that this is impossible because the link no longer exists. Can this be true?

    How can I redownload Adobe 8 standard - bought some years ago?

    Yes, it can be true.  There is a limit to how far back some versions are available and Acrobat Standard versions especially so.  Every once in a while I will say a version is not available and someone will pop up and say otherwise.  I can only identify the resources where you can search to see if you can find it.  The first link is likely where you have been already...

  • I want to add refworks grabit to my tool bar, when I try to install for firefox it won' t let me this is what I get: HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you a

    this is the complete error I get. I just installed firefox so that I can use this feature and now it is useless.
    Error Summary
    HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
    The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
    Detailed Error Information
    Module StaticFileModule
    Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
    Handler StaticFile
    Error Code 0x80070032
    Requested URL http://www.refworks.com:80/refgrabit/install.xpi
    Physical Path E:\RefGrabIt\install.xpi
    Logon Method Anonymous
    Logon User Anonymous
    Failed Request Tracing Log Directory C:\inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles
    Most likely causes:
    It is possible that a handler mapping is missing. By default, the static file handler processes all content.
    The feature you are trying to use may not be installed.
    The appropriate MIME map is not enabled for the Web site or application. (Warning: Do not create a MIME map for content that users should not download, such as .ASPX pages or .config files.)
    If ASP.NET is not installed.
    Things you can try:
    In system.webServer/handlers:
    Ensure that the expected handler for the current page is mapped.
    Pay extra attention to preconditions (for example, runtimeVersion, pipelineMode, bitness) and compare them to the settings for your application pool.
    Pay extra attention to typographical errors in the expected handler line.
    Please verify that the feature you are trying to use is installed.
    Verify that the MIME map is enabled or add the MIME map for the Web site using the command-line tool appcmd.exe.
    To set a MIME type, use the following syntax: %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='string',mimeType='string']
    The variable fileExtension string is the file name extension and the variable mimeType string is the file type description.
    For example, to add a MIME map for a file which has the extension ".xyz": appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='.xyz',mimeType='text/plain']
    Warning: Ensure that this MIME mapping is needed for your Web server before adding it to the list. Configuration files such as .CONFIG or dynamic scripting pages such as .ASP or .ASPX, should not be downloaded directly and should always be processed through a handler. Other files such as database files or those used to store configuration, like .XML or .MDF, are sometimes used to store configuration information. Determine if clients can download these file types before enabling them.
    Install ASP.NET.
    Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
    Links and More Information This error occurs when the file extension of the requested URL is for a MIME type that is not configured on the server. You can add a MIME type for the file extension for files that are not dynamic scripting pages, database, or configuration files. Process those file types using a handler. You should not allows direct downloads of dynamic scripting pages, database or configuration files.

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • I cannot transfer downloaded videos from my computer to itunes, I have been following the add to library process, need help

    adding videos using add to library from my dowloads is not working, please help

    iTunes will not play WMV files (it will convert unprotected WMA). You'll have to convert your WMV files to a format iTunes can accept.
    BTW, we're all just fellow users here, helping out as we have time, knowledge and inclinations, so it usually takes more than a half hour before someone reponds. Be patient, and usually you'll get a reponse before too long. Posting back and prodding will just get people annoyed with you.

    Hi.....Iam having prbs in redeeming the gift cards in iPod touch....my account is without credit card.....is this the prb???and wht to do pls help thanks

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • TS1559 So I restored and did all the steps and it's still not back... And this is only 2 days old... What do I do

    I have followed everything and it's still greyed out.

    Yes, try to set it up as new device without any other apps installed and check if your Wi-Fi function is back again.
    If it is, restore from the backup you made. It might be that your backup contained damaged files, causing your problem.

    I want to add more capacity on hard drive of time capsule. Can i add a normal usb driver? I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network? It will work as fast than time capsule? Thanks

    Can i add a normal usb driver?
    Yes, but be sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network?
    The drive will appear as a shared network drive, like the Time Capsule.
    It will work as fast than time capsule?
    No, the drive will operate at about half or 50% of the speed of the Time Capsule.

  • 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:

    I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but it might help:

  • When I want to play music out loud the volume bar disappears and it won't play music or any sound. This sometimes happens with head phones in aswell. How do I fix it? I have tried to reset settings and wipe all the data of it but it didn't work.help!

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.
