If i bought a new mac, can i upgrade my old one for free aswell?

I bought a Retina Macbook Pro, which i can upgrade for free to Mountain Lion. I haven't received my Redeem code, so I'm wondering whether that will work on all my old Macs anyway. Cause if it only works with the newly bought MBP, I might aswell buy ML cause I want it on my older iMac too and install it on both my Macs.

You can install ML from the MAS on any apple branded computer that is tied to your apple id (you own).
So you can install it on your old computer, if it is an apple computer and if it is one of the models supported by ML in it's tech specs.
I'm sure there are a lot of people in line to get their code. They will get to you ASAP!
Check for hardware compatibility

Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download.

Go to iTunes > about iTunes. What version are you running? If necessary, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and create a new, test library so it will start.

HT2731 my oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. I need to know how to unlink the old ipod from her account without losing all the music and games on it. He would like to have his own account.

My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device. You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.

You need to pay once; as long as the other Macs are registered with the same ID at the store, yes you can use it on the others.

I just got a iPhone 4 in the past month. Can I upgrade to the 4s for free?

I was wondering that if I just recently bought a iPhone 4 from apple. Can I upgrade to the 4s for free?

Yes. I just did today. However, the new price for the iPhone 4 is now $149. So that is the credit that will be issued, meaning the 4S will cost you $50.

New mac, can't authorize my old purchased music

I bought a new mac after my last one crashed, I am logged into itunes but it won't let me authorize my computer to play my purchased music. I am signed in to my account and have bought more music, but can't authorize songs I purchased on my last computer. When I enter my information the same screen pops up again and says to enter my information. My account name and password are correct because I can access my account info and the itunes store.

I have exactly the same problem, but with an added issue: This MacPro is the SAME one I used to have all my authorized music on, but after Apple repaired the heatsinks on my motherboard, iTunes thinks it's a new computer and won't authorize my old music.
Additionally, when the window asking me to authorize the old music pops up, it shows my old e-mail address, which is no longer in service. So now I'm wondering if I am supposed to log in with this old address. When I try to do that (I still know the password), it says I entered something wrong... but I can't have it send me my "forgotten" password for the old e-mail address, because it says it's going to send it to my old address!
I have no problem logging in with my new address, but when I try to "Authorize This Computer" under the Store menu, iTunes tells me this computer is already authorized. So why can't I access all that old music? We're talking almost 1,000 songs that I now can't play!
Thanks for any and all help with this!

I just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from one computer to another computer with all my music

i just bought a new computer, can i transfer itunes from my old computer to my new computer with my music in it or do i have to sync all my cds again

Hi,
A painless way to do it ...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Moving iTunes Media Folder (Windows)

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

In 2008, 2009, 2010, I bought numerous seasons of a lot of TV seasons. I backed them up on a WD Passport, then bought a new iMac and had my old one totally cleaned and re-installed the OS. Is there a way to recoup these purchases! I probably have close to $3000 invested in these.

Thank you!
I can't tell you how terrified I was when deleting the superfluous account...but it went just swimmingly!

What happens when you try to sync the music and videos to the iPod?
Was all media purchased wit the same Apple ID?
Did the music and videos sync to the old iPod?

I bought a new ipod touch to replace my old one that did not have icloud. How do I erase my old ipod?

I just purchased a new ipod touch to replace my old ipod touch. The reason I bought a new one is I wanted one that had the icloud that I could sync to my ipad and iphone. I am going to give my old one to my husband. I plugged my new ipod touch into my computer and put my musice library on it. I then tried to clear my old ipod touch. I went to General Settings and told it that I wanted to clear the ipod touch. It went thru a few things and then it said to plug it into itunes. I do not understand why? On my itunes it does not list two ipod touch's on there as devices, so I am scared it I plug the new one into itunes it will clear both. Please help!

Yeah, what planb77 said.
Just connect your iPod to your computer, let iTunes come up, and then select Restore to Factory Settings. This will clear off every thing and install the current version of iOS for that generation. You can name the device and then set up iTunes to synch the items you choose.
If you have more than one computer, let hubby set up his own iTunes account and Apple ID so you don't get your stuff mixed up.

New iPad, can I rename the old one?

I have synced my new IPAD and want to give my old one to me husband.
What do we do first? I have cleared all apps and such off but it still shows as my Ipad.
Thanks

Go to Settings, a general, About, Name and rename it!

If i bought a new mac, can i upgrade my old one for free aswell?
