  • How do I add an ipad to my itunes account which was previously associated with another account and user?

    how do I add an ipad to devices in my itunes account which was previously associated with another account?

    Just sign into your own ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign out of the old ID and sign into your ID. I get the feeling though, that there is more to what you are trying to do or want to do and I'm not understanding or you are not explaining completely.
    If this is a previously owned iPad, it should have been erased before you got possession of it.

  • Must duplicate my photo because "this photo was previously edited with another application..."

    I've always used both iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Elements for editing my photos. Previously, I could edit in the external application (Adobe PE), save the photo (back to iPhoto), go back into iPhoto and then still edit that photo within iPhoto if I wanted to.
    Recently, though, if I edit a photo in Adobe PE and save it, if I attempt to edit it further within iPhoto, I am warned: "Image Cannot Be Edited: This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it."
    I don't WANT to keep duplicating my photos - it's a stupid waste and I just want to tweak my previously edited photo.
    When did iPhoto start requiring duplication in order to edit a photo that had been worked on in another program?
    And why?
    And is there any way I can change this or get around it?
    Thanks.

    Where are you seeing these Jpegs when you duplicate the Raw?
    Duplications are virtual. Try this test.
    Select a Raw and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original
    That brings you to the Master file in the iPhoto Library. It's selected.
    Apply a label to it - In the Finder: File -> Label.
    Now, back to the iPhoto Window and gp Photos -> Duplicate
    You now have a second snap in the Event  -> My Photo - version 2
    Select Version 2 and go  File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original
    Notice that it brings you to the same file.
    So, you've duplicated the Photo, not the file.
    Regards

  • Adobe AIR could not be installed because another application is already being installed

    OS Windows XP
    If I try to start a new setup I receive the following message:
    "Adobe AIR could not be installed because another application is already being installed. Complete the first installation before proceeding with this one."
    This is the messagge when I try to remove Adobe Air 1.0 from Control panel:
    "Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install."

    In the past I had problems with a virus and I removed some voices on regedit. I think I've combined some mistake.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you're having problems installing/uninstalling air.  Have you tried rebooting to see if that resolves the issue? 
    If it still fails, can you enable MSI logging using the instructions found on the following page and then post the msi log contents for review?

    I have used Illustrator CS3 on my two try or three previous computers. Now I try to install Illustrator CS3 on a my new (4 weeks old) computer. Adobe does not allow me, but demands me to proof myself being an owner of Illustrator CS2 or older. I don't manage to speak English on phone, bad hearing, to fast spoken, odd expressions.What can I do? Is there a possibility to write a complain?

  • I bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?

    i bought a mac air yesterday and i was trying to download maverick but i could not do it, i try to download the old version of numbers because i needed for work, but i could not neither, but now when i check to download numbers is asking for to pay?

    You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
    Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
    You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
    If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

  • Installed LR4 on a new Drive in old computer. Imported old cat, but no history, presets. sigh.

    Installed LR4 on a clean new HD / OS (Win7 Pro) computer, imported 90k + images from a 4 disk JBOD using a Library copied from the old C Drive, which was placed in My Pictures.
    Now I have no history (DNG) or any User (develop or import) Presets, plus, my keywords are scrambled.
    I copied the entire Library onto the new HD, pointed the import at the LR 4 Catalog-4 because it looked to be the most recent (there are others).
    All images are there, with most recent adjustments showing, but no User Presets in Develop or Import. Plus, I use Reick's Controlled Vocabulary, and it's all scrambled up.
    I could start again from scratch, but can't find clear instructions on how to do so.
    Any advice? I have the old C drive and can access it from a HD dock.
    Tom Meyer

    Latest permutation... I got another computer. (reposting as a new topic, please go there to leave any comments)
    Did fine with matching Library and all the files that are on externals, matched up  fine with ratings and flags intact, collections are good... but the develop User Presets! NOTHING!... and even when I go to the Develop User Presets (on the old computer) in App Data (I'm Win 7 Pro), there is only ONE user preset there, when in the active Develop Module (v4.5), I see and can use 26 different user presets that I REALLY want to keep.
    What is the problem here? Why is this so convoluted and difficult? Where are my d___n presets? sigh.

  • Just used migration assistant from one mac to another one.  When I restart the new mac, the old user boots up instead of my new user.  Have to log out then log in.

    Just got a new Imac.  I migrated from the old Imac.  When I boot the new Imac, the old user screen boots up.  I have to log out and then log into my new user on the new mac.  Whats up?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your help. But the PowerBook has a Migration Assistant designed for the purpose of transfering files from the old Mac to the new Mac. The steps take me to the point where I'm instructed to restart the old Mac while holding down the "T" key. But nothing happens when I do that. It just restarts and the Migration Assistant on the new Mac still reads "waiting for old Mac to restart".
    There has to be a way to do this. I can't install the original applications on the PowerBook from scratch because they were meant to run on Classic. The PowerBook doesn't recognize any of the old Classic installation disks I have from previous Macs (Oddly, the PowerBook has capability to run Classic, but not the actual software-- and no Classic installation disk was provided, unlike the software provided for iBooks. And I can't install any of the System X upgrades because they need to recognize the original application already on the computer in order to upgrade.
    I just calculated that if I have to rebuy all the applications I need, I couldn't afford to do it (unless someone can-- or even wants to-- take the old versions off my hands to offset the cost of buying new ones).
    There must thousands of graphic designers like me who run a small business and can't afford to re-stock their entire software collection every time they upgrade to a new computer. Why would Apple diss the very people who have been supporting the company (actually keeping it alive) all these years? I don't think they would do that. I'll just have to keep looking for a solution.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

       How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?  As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.'  So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist.  I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue.  This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
       Thanks.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • I am trying to move all itunes files to my new laptop and was able to do with home sharing, however I now have no idea how to keep the itunes on my new computer when I dispose of the old as all files are inaccessible when the old computer is disconnected

    is there anyway to save the files so that they stay in my new computer?

    I wouldn't use Home Sharing for this. These are two possible approaches that should work.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.

  • Just bought a used MacBook pro after my previous died. I want to migrate my applications, data, etc from a time machine backup of the old computer to the new. Will this affect, or overwrite the Apps., data, etc existing on the new machine?

    Just bought a used MacBook pro after my previous died. I want to migrate my applications, data, etc from a time machine backup of the old computer to the new. Will this affect, or overwrite the Apps., data, etc existing on the new machine?

    No. Only those Apps that are not installed on the new will migrate over.

  • HT5621 I Have followed all the steps and still cant remove iCloud to my existing account and add to the new one, the old email account was changed a year ago and cant get that email plus the password don't work please HELP!!

    I Have followed all the steps and still cant remove iCloud to my existing account and add to the new one, the old email account was changed a year ago and cant get that email plus the password don't work please HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!
