Locked out of my Itouch and no longer have the main sync computer
I lost my itouch a few months ago and recently found it under my couch while cleaning. I forgot my passcode. From what I have researched I need to have the main computer I sync it from to restore my itouch. Unfortunately I no longer have that computer. How can I restore my itouch with a computer it has never been synced to before? Thanks
Place the iPod in Recovery mode and restoe via iTunes. You will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since I do not think you have a backup.
To redownload iTunes purchases:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
The ID is used in the following locations and you have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note the following are resolved if you use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -
How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I had to reload Firefox and no longer have the little house in the Navigation toolbar that allows me to click on it and return to my homepage. How do I get it back?
You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the previous position at the left of the location bar if you do not like that new position.

When I ran Lr 5 I was able to right click on a raw file and have it open in Lr. Upgraded to LR 6 and now longer have the option to open with Lr. Is there something I need to turn on Pc set up
This is actually based on how the site handles different file types; Hotmail gives it to the browser as "application/octet-stream" or something like it, whereas sites that properly open it in the browser tag it as "application/pdf". Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about this without setting up a proxy to rewrite the HTTP headers. Complaints to Hotmail in the past haven't worked, and it's not possible to override the behavior in Firefox.

Some of my music was purchased with an old email address (old account) which is no longer valid. Since it has been a long time since we used the email address we no longer know the password. Now I can't access the music from my old account due to using a new computer. I've purchased the music and downloaded cds with the old account and need to be able to get my music.

At first I thought I had to change the user name on my apple id, but I guess that is not possible. If I want my apple id to be linked to my current email address which is a gmail, I guess I am basically creating a new apple id, with all the complications that brings, right?
I have the same issue with my iCloud.
Should I do anything about this?Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for. -

Any help? I wouldn't mind any links to where I can install Garageband for free even if it's not from Apple. (Currently running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and will be updating the software tomorrow on February 13th to Snow Leapord 10.6)
If you don't want to purchase the latest version, you have to call Apple to get replacement DVDs for the iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When you receive the discs, just insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 2 and install GarageBand.
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can use it to restore GarageBand. First, open Finder and select Applications on the sidebar. Then, open Time Machine app and navigate through your backups to restore the application
