I want to make a back up of my iTunes library but don't have the space
I have room on my exteranl hard drive but not on my main one. Whenever I try and make a rar file it doesn't let me choose the destination. What compression form should I use and how do I get it to transfer to my external hard drive? Thanks for any help
+"Whenever I try and make a rar file it doesn't let me choose the destination. What compression form should I use"+
None! File packing schemes such as RAR, Zip, etc, cannot do much to compress music files. (If you want to see what I mean, make a folder with a few songs in it and compare it before and after.)
+"how do I get it to transfer to my external hard drive?"+
Just copy it there. In Windows, open the external and drag the contents into it.

a while ago I wanted to buy an album but I didn't have enough space on my phone, (iPhone 4) so I deleted some things off my phone and downloaded the album. well ever since then all my other music won't play, only that one album will play. I thought it was because I havent been able to get the software update on my phone but I don't have enough space for that either. I deleted almost all my photos, all my apps, i deleted almost all the info that is on the apps that you can't delete, but it says I have too much music and I only have 45 songs!!!!!!!! and I don't want to delete them because that's what I'm trying to listen to but I can't because of whatever reason. PLEASE HELP!!
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. The songs are still on my ipod. I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore. How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them?
What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account." The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store. If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.
Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds
How are they not "recognized"? Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out? They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files? -
How do you make room on your start up disk. i am trying to do the update but don't have enough space
how do you make room on your start up disk. i am trying to do the update but don't have enough space
Try this:
1. Open "Finder", then navigate to "Movies" on the left side. Click on "iMovie Projects"
2. Move desired movies and clips to trash, or your flash drive.
*PS* Its dangerous to have a full hard drive, I would recommend either trashing, or transferring files to another computer. Trash applications you no longer use as well. -
How do I make a back up of my iTunes library?
I am kind of new to the iPod Touch world. I can't find a place where it says make a back up disc of your music in the iTunes menu. Is there a way to do it? Thank you in advance!!!!

hi i havent had this computer in almost 2 years. it is the one that had ny itunes info ect. i am ready to download music and my account shows 93.465 in credit for purchases, but it is telling me my itunes gift card is expired. i get that but how do i go about getting my credit or at least credits for purchases?
The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity -
The installer for iTunes free download says when installing "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." I have been to the help page and run Disk Utility (not sure if that's worked or not) and it still comes up with this. Please help me get iTunes back up and running. Thanks
Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg receipt. Drag the iTunes app to the trash.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility - reboot - then try to run the installer.

So my old ipod broke two years ago. I got an ipod classic and synched it to my itunes library on my macbook. Then I had problems with my macbook and had to restore it to factory settings. I have kept my eyes open for a way to get my music backed up in my itunes again cuz I figured this ipod would probably break someday too. Anyway now when I look at my 160g ipod classic, it says I have 0 songs, and 0 videos but 27.3g of "other". I looked around for a solution and I tried updating my itunes and then I plugged my ipod in and it said I needed to restore it to factory settings using itunes. I'm not gonna do that. For the most part I have come across this problem with solutions for pc users and I have a MACBOOK. Anyway I haven't even had my ipod hooked up to my computer for a while because I haven't added any new music and when I charge it, I just hook it up to my iphone charger. This literally happened overnight. I mean there is some stuff on there that is irreplaceable. PLEASE HELP!
p.s. Dumb it down a bit for me.Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password. -
I uninstalled Photoshop Incorrectly and Want to Reinstall but Don't Have the Option...
I use a Mac and I dragged the Photoshop folder (from applications, not Adobe specifically) into the trash can. Like a true genius, I deleted the trash can items to make sure it was super gone. (Long story) So I'm attempting to reinstall it now, but when I open the creative cloud app, it acts as if Photoshop is still installed. Help
Run the cleaner tool.

Why are all the movies in I tunes store not for rent in Ireland. There are loads of movies I want to rent for example Sherlock Holmes game of shadows, Avengers Assembly, safe house, and loads more. All of these are on DVD so why can't we rent them.
Not all movies are available for rent all of the time, licensing will dictate when rentals can be made available.

Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?
Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD. Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

Want to check on an order but don't have the order number
I ordered a recovery disk yesterday. Before I could write down the order number from the confirmation page I accidentaly clicked on something because I lost the page. Course I got an email confirmation on the ac cord but I did not get an email verification on the recovery disk which I was hoping for. Is there somewhere to check on orders without the order number or somewhere to contact HP for FREE to find out so I can check on this order. I paid extra to receive the package the next day. Thank you for any help!

You need to contact HP support not the HP user Forum about your recovery disk if you ordered them.
