I was just given an I Pod 2nd generation..How do I install it?

When I connect my shuffle I tunes automatically opens. When I try to install the Ipod 2nd generation it does not. It opens as windows not Itunes. Itunes is set as my default on my computer. I am not sure what to do now.

Thanks. Believe, me I would have done that if I had the DVD. They couldn't find it when they gave me the computer. They are still looking but who knows if they'll find it. I'm going to try to get one from someone else and was hoping there was a way to bypass this as there is on Windows machine, just set up a new user and deal with the old users later if ever.

I was just given an ipad but don't know how to change the apple ID that is in the machine so I can download my own apps.

I was just given an ipad. How do I remove the current apple id in the apps area so I can put in my own?

You should totally erase the device and start all over again. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap the old ID and sign out. Sign in with yours. If you are running iOS 6 .... ITunes and App Stores instead of Store.

How can I activate my iphone4 without the owners ID it was just given to me by a friend and we can't contact the owner of this....

how can I activate my iphone4 without the owner's ID it was just given to me by a friend AND WE CAN'T CONTACT THE OWNER ANYMORE

There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

iPod displays a sad iPod icon
Resolution
In most cases, the sad iPod icon indicates a hardware issue. If you are able to force iPod into Disk Mode, then it may not be a hardware issue, and you should try to restore your iPod with the latest software.

HT1386 I have just acquired an iPod touch 2nd generation 8gb. It says it syncs successfully with my computer (vista home) but will not down load albums I have bought in itunes and downloaded to my computer. Help!!!

I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

If you want to use this computer as the one syncing computer you need to restore the iPod on your computer

If you want to transfer app dat you need to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod. Restoring from backup will result in your new iPod being just like your old iPOd except you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since those only get restore to the same device upon a restore.

HT4367 Restore Apple TV 2nd generation - how?

I have tried all of what is advised (USB cable, no power cord, iTunes 10.6.3, 10.7, 10.01, on Mac and Windows, held menu+down button, etc) but AppleTV is not appearing in list of devices. Can not start restore.
White led is constantly blinking after software update (no I did not interrupt download).
All that is visible now on the TV when AppleTV is connected is the iTunes logo and usb cable.
What to do?
Clearly this software update is bad news and should be avoided.

Welcome to the Apple Community and a merry Christmas.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.

I was just given an iMac G4 running OX X 10.4 Unfortunately it is password protected. How do I set up a new user? I don't need (and would prefer to remove) the old users.

Since I cannot even get past the opening security screen I don't see how to set up my own user account. Thanks!

If you have a backup, you can restore your last backup with itunes.

I was just given a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. It does not have a system on it.

I have my original disks from my early 2009 MacBook Pro. When I try to use the OS Install disk to install 10.5, which is what the early MacBook came with, it won't boot the computer. I have the upgrade to 10.6.3, but it will not work either, since it is only an upgrade.
I have 10.6.8 backed up to an external disk, but I want to have a different administrator name so we don't get confused. I have used the backup to at least get the mid 2009 working. I am unable to do an Erase and Install, which is what I want to do, even though there is nothing there.
Here is the Hardware Overview from the mid 2009:

Is there any fix? Are the earlier, early 2009 disks incompatible with the mid 2009? Am I stuck with having the same Administrator for two computers? Does anyone have any suggestions?
There are compelling reasons that I don't want to upgrade past 10.6. I won't be able to get at MOST of my data because of Apple no longer supporting Rosetta. I have two other computers running Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but want to keep 10.6.8 on the MacBook Pros early and mid 2009.

My i-pod 2nd generation is disabled because I forget my passcode

I can no longer listen to my i-pod because I forget my passcode!

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten and your device is running iOS 6 or earlier, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll have to erase the device through iCloud first:

I just bought a i pod touch. How do I load all my iphone stuff to it?

I have a itunes account and it works great with my i phone. Now I have bought a i pod touch and want to load all of my musci, pictures and apps on it the same as my i phone? How do I do this without lossing what I already have put on my i pod touch with my wifes computor?

You don't/
The ipod touch, like the iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Put everything that you want on one computer and sync to that one.

My laptop was just fixed and had windows reinstalled. how do i reinstall lightroom? do i have to purchase it again? :(

You do not have to purchase again. You can download whichever version you purchased and install it using the serial number from your original purchase (look in your Adobe Account online for that).

How can I skip over the enter passcode section with the i-pod 2nd generation?

can I do this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
