Hello Ned,
Congratulations on your new computer! It sounds like you need to authorize it with your Apple ID. Use these steps to authorize your new computer:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
You can find those steps and more information at the following link:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

Yes you will.

The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. Will I lose everything?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

To gdgmacguy:
You can authorize the computer! Top left corner, you wil see file, edit etc. Click sotre> authorize this computer, than go to edit> prefrences> devices, under back-ups click where it says to prevent auto sync when devices is connected. than you can connect the device, and theoreticall you could transfer purchases by right clicking on the name of the phone, and back up by the same method.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. All you can do is restore from backup
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Help! 13" macbook pro will not boot. Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable. Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked. Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything? I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Win OK

Tried running disk repair from HD recovery, not repairable. Trying to reinstall OSx Lion, says disc is locked. Do I have to erase the drive and lose everything? I also have Bootcamp installed, will boot to Windows no problem.

Hotrodmkviii,
try rebooting in Recovery mode, but when you reach the Mac OS X Utilities menu, run Terminal (from Utilities in the menu bar) instead. Inside the Terminal window, give it the following command, and then press the Return key:
diskutil list
Please include in your reply the output from that command.

Hey cjacket13,
When you purchase applications on your iOS device, they are tied to your Apple ID so even if you lose them, you can re-download them from your purchase history.
That said, when you first sync your iPhone to your new computer you'll want to transfer purchases from your iOS device to the computer by following these directions here:

Will I lose everything in my iTunes on my old computer if I update it and I haven't updated it in a while?

Will I lose everything in my iTunes on my old computer if I update it and I haven't updated it in a while?

No. However, the fact that you would ask indicates that you are not maintaining a reliable backup.
Make a backup of your valuable files now. That is more important than updating iTunes.

If you don't have the prior computer backup files, you may want to look at this to get your information from the phone:

TS1363 my phone crashed earlier today, i did update it to iOS5 around July 14, if i restore from my iTunes acct on home computer will i lose everything?

my iphone 3gs crashed today, if i restore will i lose everything on it?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

If I upgrade to this will I lose everything on my computer that is saved?

Since you are posting on the Snow Leopard forum I will assume you are asking about an "upgrade" to SL form Tiger or Leopard. The answer is no. Upgrading does not erase apps, data, docs etc.
That being said, it is always good practice to back up your files before doing an upgrade. Better safe than sorry. External hard drives are dirt cheap.
