Is there a way to un-sync my iPod from one computer and then sync it to another computer with iTunes without losing all my data or downloading software?

Hi, I'm selling my current computer that my iPod is synced to and want to un-sync (I think the correct term of phase is) my iPod from my current computer, so i can then sync it to my new computer without downloading any software or deleting all my data. Is this possible? If so, please tell me how. As usual, any help would be helpful.

Do this:
- iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
- Then import into your new computer
- Copy any synced photos to the new computer
- Backup the ipd to the new computer
iOS: How to back up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The link directly above says how.

Is there any way i can receive a text from one number and reply to another on the same conversation?

I have a friend who has 2 phone numbers, he sends texts from one and i have to reply to the other one.
Is there any way i can configure the SMS conversation so: it receives texts from his 1st number and when i reply it goes to the 2nd number?
Thank you

I don't think it is possible to do what your friend is asking.
He would need to call his phone carrier.

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

I redeemed a giftcard in one of my accounts, and realized I wanted to redeem it in another. Is there a way I can transfer the money from one account to another, without being billed to my credit card?

I redeemed a giftcard in one account and realized I wanted to use it in another. Is there a way I can transfer the money from one account to the other without billing my credit card?

You can't transfer money between accounts. You can, however, gift items by clicking the arrow to the right of the price, which will achieve the same ends. It should work for everything except rentals.

Is there a way to move multiple Calendar items from one date to another?

Hello. I have far too many Calendar items every day in my iCal. Until I finally pare them down to a reasonable level, I need to "reschedule" all of my unfinished ToDo items and reminders, to another day, later in the week.
There doesn't seem to be any "Select All" feature available.

Still no ideas? Apple, please come up with a fix. Thanks.

Yes. First click on this icon:
Now select the line drawing icon:
Now press a shift key and drag your mouse on the image to draw a straight line.
These instructions are for Windows system so you need to adapt the method for Macs. I can't afford to by an Apple Mac!!!!!
Good luck.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

If you still have the old computer see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you don't have your old computer, but you made regular backups of it, restore the most recent backup using the backup software that you used to make the backup. You will have to read the instructions for it.
If you don't have your old computer and you did not back it up regularly see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
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.

Is there a way to import my movies on dvds to macbook pro then sync onto to Ipad2

Is there a way to import my dvd movies onto my Macbood Pro and then sync to my IPad2 so that the movies go on that device?

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
Regards.

No. The warranty covers defects, it is not insurance.
You will have to purchase a replacement if you want one

Is there any way to get my iPhone 4S from Verizon to work in Hong Kong? So far it only says cannot activate cellular network. I have cleared all settings, turned off CDMA...etc and still nothing.

If you are there now, there is nothing you can do. Before going you should have talked with Verizon, they have international service programs they can activate, but it has to be before going.
