Is there anyway I can make my new laptop my default iTunes laptop rather than my old laptop and having to use Home Sharing?

I don't really want to re-upload my CD's to my new laptop and my old laptop is practically dead

You will need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    Take it in to Apple as only they can decide. If they decide it is a defect covered under the warranty, they will replace it.  If they determine it was caused by something you've done or an accident, then you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.  However, Apple will have to make that call, so take it so they can evaluate it.

    If you cannot powerup the phone, there would be no way to recover the photos from the device. Have you tried to just connect it to the computer? If the photos are that important, have you considered possibly a 3rd party repair to just fix the screen so you can access the device, or was there more broken than the screen?

  • I just bought a used Macbook Pro. How do I make the changes to make it personal. Example the iTunes comes up as the old user and I have to have his password to make changes on the laptop. Can you make any suggestions?

    Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

    Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
    You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
    How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
    10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
    Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
    Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
    If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
    If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
    Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

  • I've lost my Ipod in my bedroom so it could be Inches away from me but I can't tell, Is there anyway I can make my Ipod make an enhanced alarm for me to find it via sound?

    I've lost my Ipod in my bedroom so it could be inches away I might not know about it, is there anyway I can trigger my Ipod to have an amplified alarm so I can hear it to find it?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone.
    - You can also  have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.

  • Is there anyway I can find the LAST date of an app downloaded more than once?

    I look at my recent purchases and it shows the FIRST time i purchased the free app, however it doesn't show any other time that it's been downloaded and I know I've downloaded it 4-5 more times. Is there ANY way I can find ALL of the dates that I re-downloaded this app?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • I plug my ipod in and it starts to charge but i open itunes and it says its synced with a diff library. my music is gone. is there anyway i can get my music back to my itunes, most of it is cds and downloads no itunes stuff cuz i had a zune. PLZ HELP!

    I plug my ipod into my computer and it begins to charge, then in the bottom right corner it says installing device driver, and then says digital still camera failed. Im not sure what that means.  Then when i open my itunes all my music is gone from my library and i dont know why.  it says that my ipod is synced with a different library and gives me the option to transfer purchases, or erase and sync.  All my music and stuff is still on my ipod but i dont know how to get it back into my itunes.  Like eight of my songs are actually from itunes, the rest is from cds, and downloads, and my zune music because i had a zune, but broke it.  Is there any way to fix this? Please?!? I beg for an answer. Please Help me, I dont Know what to Do. I want to be able to put more music on and there is no way im erasing the content of my ipod. PLEASE HELP

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

  • Make startup manager load by default on startup (rather than option key)

    I have a macbook pro 13' (late 2010 version) i am running Lion and i have windows 7 proffesional using boot camp.
    When i boot up my mac it loads Lion by default.
    I understand that to switch between the two i have to hold the option key on startup, i am then prompted for my password, and after entering it i get to the startup manager which displays the startup disks available.
    I would like to know if there is a way of getting my mac to run the startup manager (with password) by default when i boot it, rather than choose one of the installed os.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gaz

    No. However, you can install a third-party bootloader if you're willing to try it: rEFIt.
    If  you do this then you need to know that Boot Camp Assistant will no longer be able to manage the Windows partition.

  • Is there anyway I can make a link on the "value" and not the label (detail form)

    Hi there,
    I have a master-detail form (within an appl) based on 2 real
    tables in a master-detail FK relationship.
    The detail block displays 6 rows. Currently you can only place a
    link on the label on top of the block.
    What I need is to make let's say tha actual value of lastname in
    each row display as a link, something like:
    rec.lastname_value
    I also need to pass the actual ID of that row in the URL used by
    href. I know that you could do it in custom "sql", but do not
    know how to make my form do that.
    Thanks,
    Mariana

  • Is there anyway i can create a new apple id with my outlook email

    somebody help me before this ****** me off!

    Texting to and from Canadian cell #'s is included in your unlimited texting plan.  CALLING is another matter, and the info is here:  http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/global/international-long-distance-and-messaging.html?country=canada
    Looks like you can get 1000 monthly minutes to and from Canada for $15, and the texting is unlimited.

  • I purchased a book through iBooks and it turns out it wasn't the audiobook, which is what I needed. Is there anyway I can get the $12 or so about put back into my account since I am having to also buy an audiobook?

    I was suppose to buy an audiobook but ended up buying the book which I thought was the audiobook. Since I'm having to purchase 2 books(and I only need the audiobook) can I get a refund on the book? How exactly does that work? Or does that work at all?

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Or you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I have just bought a new laptop and want to use this one for my i pod. When i tried to do this it say my i pod is already synced to another computer. How do i 'un-synch' the old one. It does offer to synch the i pod to the new laptop but only for purchas,

    The i pod will synch purchased songs to the new library but that would mean losing most of my songs. I tried home share but that only showed the purchased songs too.
    I would lie to un-synch the old laptop, de-authorise it and remove i tunes altogether as i want to give it away.
    How do i un-synch a library to a particular pc and re synch it to the new one?

    That's not how it works. Authorising is for music purchased from iTunes, not for music you've imported from CDsor elsewhere. Music purchased form other suppliers would also not be subject to this authorising procedure.
    Do you still have the old computer? If so, you need to copy the iTunes Library from that to the new computer. For example, in Windows XP, I would copy the My Music folder (which contains the iTunes Library, my Amazon MP3 purchases and album artwork) and put that onto an external drive. Then move the drive to the new computer and copy the copied folder onto the new machine thereby replacing the new machine's My Music folder. Then tell iTunes to look at the imported Library.
    Obviously, you need to take into account that you have Windows 7 (where I assume the folder names may be different), any other places on you old machine where songs are located and so on.
