Laptop that I can hook up to TV

I need to buy a laptop that has the capacity to hook up to my TV (for Netflix movies). Does it have to have an S-Video thing or is there another way it can be hooked up? Thanks!

BACK TO MY ORIGINAL QUESTION, is there a different way besides the S-Video that will make the laptop show on the TV. One of my sets DOES have this S-Video, but the laptop I am looking at DOES NOT. Let's say I DID have a newer TV, what would I need to look for on the laptop that would let it get hooked up to the TV? Hope this clarifies.......thanks!
I already answered this when I said you could get a concerter cable but it would look awful.
If you had a newer TV, you would want one with an HDMI input and a laptop with an HDMI output.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You first need to sign into the account in iTunes on your laptop, then you need to transfer the content from your moms laptop and import it into iTunes on yours. You can do this in a number of ways, either over a network, with an external drive, or even a USB stick.
If you go to iTunes preferences > advanced on your moms laptop, it will tell you where the original files can be found.

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! Help!

How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it. My ipod touch has all of my music still on it. Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How can I remove photos from iPhone...when I synced to another computer, it loaded up a ton a pictures from the laptop that I did not want on my phone

Help! I have 4 different computers that I plug my iPhone 4 into from time to time. I just synced it with a laptop that I haven't plugged into for a long while, and it overloaded my phone with a ton of pictures from the computer that I did not want or need on my phone. When I went to PHOTOS on my iTunes, and checked "sync checked folders only", it says it will replace the photos on my phone. I'm not sure this is what I want...I don't want to lose the photos on my phone. I have over 3000 on there!

You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

I have an HP Officejet 6500 E709N that I can't print from but only from my laptop

This printer used to work great. My desktop and laptop were both running Vista. After a while it stopped printing from the laptop, but continued to print from the desktop. I changed to Windows 7 for my laptop and it worked for a while then I couldn't consistently print from my laptop. The desktop (HP desktop) never has a problem. I recently got a new HP laptop with Windows 7 and the first couple weeks it printed fine, but now it still prints from the desktop but never directly prints from the laptop. The Printer window says "user intervention required" but I can find no problems. Again it ALWAYS prints from the desktop. All computers are connected wirelessly through a wireless router. Sometimes when I try to print from the laptop I will find it printed a day or two later. i don't know when it prints and it doesn't always do it. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall on both computers, I've tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and I've tried turning print sharing on and off all to no avail. Can someone help me?

You are receiving the error in the print queue status window. User Intervention on that screen can mean a number of things.
Are the cartridges in the printer HP genuine or third party cartridges? I have come across several posts that indicate the issue with this error on the computer was related to using third party cartridges as the problem went away after inserting genuine cartridges.
This post and this post indicate that faulty third party cartridges were at fault.
This post indicates that logging out of the computer and rebooting it resolved the issue.
You can also review this Microsoft Answer's post from a support engineer. Method 1 and Method 2 have already been performed, so start with method 3. The FixIt in method 4 is a different FixIt than what we have already tried.
Let me know what happens.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
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 and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Ok so i share an itunes account with my mum and my brother. Recently we have decided that I can have my own accout. Is there any way that on my laptop I can create a new account and transfer my ipod into it?

Plz help!!!

Do you currently sync with a library on your Mum's computer? If so, you should copy the entire iTunes folder from that machine into the Music folder of your profile on your laptop, install iTunes and authorise the laptop for the account you've used up until now. You should then be able to sync the iPod as if nothing had changed. Once you've done that you can set up a new iTunes store account and delete any of the shared content that you don't want on your laptop.

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

Restore your phone using the last backup that you made. That should put everything back the way it was.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?
