ITunes won't work on my old laptop so I need to move my music to a new laptop but can only use the music stored on my ipad to transfer it. Please help.

My laptops broken, I can't open itunes at all on it so how can I get my music onto my new laptop with only my ipad which has all my music on it?

Hello kevinfromripon
There are a few options that you can do. If your old computer sill works but iTunes just does not open, you can try and copy the iTunes folder to an external hard drive and then add that information on to your new computer by either putting it into the same place as it was on the old computer or just adding the media into iTunes. If the media was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can import those in by following the step in the last article or you can go to the iTunes Store and look at your purchases and download them directly from there.

Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad. On my account it says ID is only for 1 system. I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

HT1665 Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPads running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one. How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

Take it to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs see what your options are for repair/replacement. An out-of-warranty replacement is $149 in the US for the iPhone 4.

Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server? Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server? Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

Yes it will work. I've done it for a few users in my small office. As with anything, there are quirks that you may or may not experience. Most quirks are app-related, due to app developers hard-coding absolute paths into their apps for things like temp files (Photoshop). Strategies for resolving these sorts of quirks can be found via google. You would probably have seen these quirks already when using server-based home folders for your kids. If you haven't noticed them, then you're probably fine.
The tech note you cited should be fine. It doesn't explicitly say so, but you'll need to enable ssh on your server, at least temporarily, so you can upload your home folder to the server using scp, rsync, etc. Don't try to copy the files up to the server via Finder.
Once all your files are transferred to the server and in the right place, make sure to chown them on the server, so they are owned by the userID you created for yourself on the server.
As with anything this involved, make a good backup of your laptop first.
Note I have one user that isn't too happy with the responsiveness of the periodic mobile home syncing. She has about a decade of e-mail in her home folder, probably 50 to 100 emails per day, many with attachments. Mobile home syncing takes a long time to check and sync this huge tree of itty-bitty files, eevn with server-side file tracking turned on. The other users are happy.
The nice thing about mobile home syncing is that when a user "graduates" to an age where they've earned their own laptop, you can change them from a server home user to a mobile home user, with a minimum of fuss. Also, if you lose or break a laptop, you can add a new replacement laptop to your network, and pull-down a replica of the home folder from the server, with almost no downtime.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Within itunes, can I use the file/library/export library option to transfer itunes to a new pc

Within itunes, can I use the file/library/export library option to transfer itunes to a new pc? I have read the other options but they will be difficult for me to action. Can this be used as an easier route?

No. See this migrate iTunes library post.

I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones

Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.
apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase the app.

Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.
