My computer crashed and the shop that fixed it deleted everything on it including my songs on itunes?
My computer crashed and in order to fix it they had to restart everything on it when i redownloaded itunes my songs still apear on it but they won't play because i no longer have the files.
Now the songs show up in the new itunes i installed but the file cannot be located. I just spent the last year in military training so i didnt have time to deal with this until now. To make matters worse befor i left for training my ipod broke and i sold it to the pawnshop for like $5. Im considering buying a new one but am currently refusing to buy anymore Apple products til i solve this. When i try to conntact support it asks for my item serial number but i dont have one being other than my $3000.00+ worth of itunes songs i no longer own anything Apple.
My question is does anyone know how to fix this or how to get ahold of Apple customer support w/o a serial number?
Your data are gone since you no longer have the drive on which they were stored nor do you have a backup. Apple cannot help you with this.
If you purchased your iTunes tracks in the iTunes Store then you can re-download them: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. Of course you will need an Apple computer to do so. You will also need your Apple ID and password that you used to purchase the tracks.

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -

computer crashed and is in the trash - thus can not deauthorize it to allow me to the new computer - what can i do?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup. -
My ipod touch was lost and now I got it back but someone locked it up and says my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to my itunes. I connected to my itunes on my computer but will not recognize this ipod touch because since it was lost my computer crashed and nothing could be saved on it so I had to reload itunes and start from the beginning so how do I get my ipod touch out of "disabled" mode?
Try authorizing the computer because that may be the problem. And you need the latest version of itunes. Itunes 11.
To authorize the computer go to itunes then press store then authorize. -

Can you help with this problem?
You could try this software: http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/power-data-recovery.html
It lets you recover up to 1GB before you have to purchase it. Use the media module.

Our church just leased a copier and we are charged by the page, either color or black ink. My bulletin has color on the cover and inside cover but all the text on the inside pages are in black. When I make the copies the copier
charges me for all color pages. It is getting expensive. Any suggestions?Window > Output > Separations Preview and then you need to select Separations from the dropdown at the top of the panel.
Click the eyeball next to the Black plate to turn it off. If there is no color on the page it should go blank. If it doesn't, you've found the problem. -
I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes. That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod. How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer. When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????
- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod. -
