Is my new computer the HP Touchsmart 610xt All in One PC?
Hey all, I am researching what will be my new computer for the house. It will be replacing my old desktop.
I want a WiFi multimedia PC for streaming movies, music, making music, watching DVD's, as well as one that can play the virtual world of Second Life. Of course, my budget is sparse and I cannot afford to go out there and get a fully loaded ASUS. I am looking at laptops as well as this touchscreen computer from HP. I do not want a desktop that is reliant on network cables, external monitor, etc, but may have to in order to get all the things I want within my budget.
Checking the 610xt "customize your order page on HP's site here," I have a few questions.
What is the power supply of the 610xt? Will HP upgrade it?
Does the PC get hot? Does it have adequate cooling?
Will HP upgrade the graphics card to a gaming card? (..."The 425M is mid-low within the, pretty recent, 400 range so anything you can do to afford a higher-powered card, like say the 460M, instead should be worth it.)
Will it run SecondLife?
Does it still have sound issues while streaming music over WiFi? (found here on this site)

Hello Nita: I am using HP Touchsmart 600-1050 It is a great computer I have had it for over a year now. I love it I have all but one wire connected to it and that is the cord plug in cord itself every thing else either goes through wi-5 or blue tooth. For gaming not much you can do about that these are 64 bit computers you can play almost any games you like. I haven't had any over heating problems yet. These are I think one of the best computers on the market. Techsuport I found is great witch to me is one reason for buying HP products.No other company can beat it. Most issues I read in forum is just minor issues usually with software issues. They are easy to maintain due to HP has programs installed that are very easy to use to help you maintain it. Plus if you have any troubles with it you can always find solution by using the hp installed software links such as this web-site. Apple computers are nice but you are very limited to what you can install on them and do. They also cost allot more and you do not have the support like you get with HP computers. My freind has an Apple computer and he is very limited to do things with it. I also love the size screen nice and large. Great for playing games on it and watching tv as well. Plus if you enjoy cooking they have a very nice program called recipe box you can have the computer talk to and you can use a blue tooth ear device to tell it the commands. Yes it is all in one p.c. Those sound issues you have read about hear in the forum are do to corrupted files. My computer still sounds great. No major problems just minor software issues I had at first but HP Direct Support took care of all that and it was not HP's fault I bought Bestbuy's displayed computer was their last computer they had when they had it on sale even marked it down more for me with evey thing cost $800.00 about with tax, 4 year protection plan also. Would I recommend it to you yes. Yes I would buy a nother one again. I also recommend to purchase HP Total Care Package as for insurance and not make the same mistake as I did buying Bestbuy's insurance plan. Now if something goes wrong with my touchsmart It will take it longer to fix. HP's Total Care is supper fast. Twice as fast as Apple's. Good luck I am sure you will love it.

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account
Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:
How to find your Apple ID - Apple Support
Use these steps if you forgot your Apple ID or aren't sure that you have one.

I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?
The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
I hope that makes sense. -
Had to buy a new computer, how do I transfer all data from my iphone4 to new computer?
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup -
How do I open my itunes account on a new computer without having to buy all new songs? It doesn't seem fair to have to buy all the same songs a second time if they are already purchased by me and I just want them on my new computer!

I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations. It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday. Please advise.
The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work. -
My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?
WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try -

My motherboard "fried" on my computer when the fan quit working. I cannot access my hard drive on my old computer. I just downloaded ITunes on my new computer; assumed it would pull all my playlists in under my Apple ID and password-no such luck. Help Please?
If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide. -
I have a new computer now with windows 8. Old one was windows 7. The itunes library contains all I expect on new computer. Ipod will not sync with content. It says it is syncing but only picks up 1 tune. Solution please. I am on itunes 64 but it makes no difference from 32 bit.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

i purchased a new computer, how do i transfer all of my itunes content from the old computer to the new one with out loosing songs, apps, pics ...ect
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything. -
We are editing a documentary and when we open the project at a new computer the sound and clip doesn't match. We have noticed that the problem is that if we have a clip named 0001 on one SD card, it takes the sound from another SD card where the clip also is named 0001. Since we are working with a lot of material and this has happened on almost every one of them, its a huge problem, since we got no time to reimport and redo every clip. Thankful for your help.
Try batch renaming some of the files.
