Is it possible to remove a computer assigned to the ipod ?
Hi,
I have an ipod for 3 years now, and i've had 4 different computers since the beginning. I remember that you can connect the same ipod to 5 different computers. I'm actually gonna buy a new computer, a mac. Since it's gonna be the 5th computer to be connected to my ipod, I was wondering if it's possible to remove one of the computer peviously connected to my ipod, that it's not needed anymore ..
Thank you.
I remember that you can connect the same ipod to 5 different computers.
No, you're misremembering or have misunderstood. An iPod touch can only be connected to one computer (or more accurately one iTunes library) at a time. You can only authorize up to five computers to a given iTunes Store account, and that's probably what you're thinking of. If you are going to sync your iPod to this fifth computer, then you do have to authorize the computer to the iTunes Store account through which you've purchased your apps and content, but if you've only previously authorized four computers, there shouldn't be a problem.
Regards.

Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?
I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro. I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose. Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?
A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like a charm.

bought drakes new album and connected my ipod to my computer. When the ipod was trying to sync, a box popped up that read Ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the itunes library (additional 142.2 mb required)
Hi Terri 4514,
If you are having a "free space" alert when you try to sync, you may find the following article helpful:

I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.
You can try 2 things:
Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update. -

The audio books I purchase are from Audible - I listen largely because my eyesight is going and I've been an avid reader. I'd like to keep the books on the iPod and not the computer to save space on the computer. Is this even possible?
Yes, though not advisable for content that you may not be able to redownload on demand. I'm not sure what Audible's policy, but with iTunes there is only one download.
You can either place the device in manually managed mode, in which case content you delete from the library won't be automatically removed from the device, or delete the files from Windows Explorer while keeping the entries for the same in the iTunes library. With the second approach iTunes will warn that it cannot find the files to sync (you can disable the warning) but it won't remove them, and you retain the advantage of being able to automatically sync other content.

Is it possible to remove yellow text background in the entire document?
I have the same problem as the one that is mentioned here:http://forums.adobe.com/message/1155089 In my case the yellow background is already in the pdf-file which was created with a virtual pdf printer and then manipulated with another pdf-editor. I noticed accidentally that it is possible to remove the yellow background in Acrobat Pro as if I'd edit an object. Getting rid of it on each page by hand would be a daunting task. Is it possible to do this somehow with the entire document? All help would be much appreciated.
cheers
Btw: The yellowish background does not appear in other pdf viewers.I'll try to describe the process but the exact numbers will depend on your document - as I said earlier when I ran a test of your file I got 3.4%, but you may not.
Your file has a mixture of color spaces (CMYK/RGB/etc.) and so you must first run the Convert Colors tool from the Print Production Panel to get everything into a consistent space, or Preflight will choke. Run the default profile to convert to the SWOP v2 profile.
Open the Output Preview tool from the Print production Panel and hover over one of the yellow areas, write down the percentage of yellow. Hopefully nothing else in the document will have the same percentage.
Now open Preflight from the Print Production Panel, switch to the Single Checks tab.
Open the Options menu, choose "Create new Preflight Check".
Name it "yellow boxes" and apply it to "Page contents" and "Current file".
Select the Colors group and pick "object uses Yellow with a percentage of..." - press ADD.
Configure it with "Equal to" and your percentage (no % sign)
Click OK, then switch to the Single Fixups tab.
Options menu > Create new Preflight Fixup
Name it "move yellow to layer"
Choose the Layers category, "Put objects on layer" and press ADD
In the "Objects identified by a check" dropdown, select your "yellow boxes" check.
In the Layer name field, type "yellow boxes"
Click OK, then click the Fix button to run it.
You'll get a message to save/close and reopen the file.
When you do, (hopefully) all your yellow boxes will now be in their own layer.
Open the layers navigator on the left side of Acrobat's window and turn off the eyeball for that layer.

I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?
Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone? Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
What happens now when you connect the iPod? Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager? -
why can't i transfer all songs on my ipod to my computer and then to my new ipad? i keep getting a message saying that about half of the files couldn't be found, and only about 1/2 of the songs went to the ipad when i first synced. the files must be on the ipod, because i can play all 448 from the ipod when disconnected from the computer. and all songs show up on my devices at itunes and can be played on the computer. but only about 1/2 are going to the ipad. i am no tech genius, obviously, but could someone please help me? thanks
Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party. It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did. There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over. The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

I have changed computer and my ipos wants to erase and sync to an empty list on the new computer. i don't have the music thats currently on the ipod on the computer. How do I get it across? Tried through drive directory but it does not recognise all the music. My old lap top is dead, cant even boot it up. Itunes was one of the things I didnt rescue.. Any suggestions?
You'll need the help of some sort of third party software such as CopyTrans or Phone to PC.
Google for other possibilities.
