My daughters itouch is locked and the computer it was sync with has been replaced - what now?

My daughters itouch is locked - she forgot her password and the computer I used to sync has since been replaced - how do I get this thing unlocked?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for it to be recognised by your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it.

as long as you do not have copies of your music (i.e. on an external HDD) or iTunes Match I fear the answer is: you won't.

On shut down I get a window that says Continue the installation Choose abort if you wish to cancel the installation If I don't press anything or if I press Yes or Abort the message goes away and the computer shuts down. This has been going on for ov

I have a 27" iMac mid 2011 2.7 GHz intel core i5 with OS 10.10.1. For about the last month when I shut down I get a window that says "Continue the installation Choose abort if you wish to cancel the installation ABORT   YES".   If I don't press anything or if I choose ABORT or Yes the message goes away and the computer shuts down. But the next time I use the computer and then shut down the message is back. I have looked to see if there are any downloads pending or if there are any updates trying to download. I am very puzzled.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

After a forced computer shutdown, OS X 10.9.5, I have received this message, PS could not initialize Photoshop because the preference file was invalid (it has been deleted).

After a forced computer shutdown, OS X 10.9.5, I have received this message, PS could not initialize Photoshop because the preference file was invalid (it has been deleted).

One idea is to hold down the cmd-opt-shift keys and start Photoshop. It will ask you if you want to delete the settings file. Answer "Yes" and it will create a new Preferences files. Photoshop should continue to load.

My HD crashed on the computer I was syncing to- Can I copy photos

My HD crashed on the computer I was syncing to- Can I copy photos OFF my Apple TV? There is a possiblity that some may not have been backed up anywhere else.
Thanks,
Mitch

It would be interesting to ask at an Apple store near you if they have any kind of service program for the machine.
I've never seen mention of one, but if the USB port is for service/diagnostic purposes then it would seem logical that larger Apple stores would be equipped to restore corrupt disk images via an external device/software - if they can do this then presumably they'd be able to get data off the AppleTV too.
They might charge for the privilege but depend how important those photos are.
Alternatively if you are extremely technically minded and don't mind dismantling the AppleTV then you may find it possible to access the data direct yourself after connecting the internal drive to some form of USB drive enclosure.
Commercial disc recovery can help in some cases but can be very expensive. Depending on what platform you're on there may also be software recovery applications such as Spinrite at www.grc.com, but they don't always work.
Good luck.

HT4972 how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use? All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?

how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use? All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?

Then those are not the syncing computers. You can manage music among different computers.
What computer did you setup your iPod on and do updates on/?That is usually the syncing computer.

HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

CS6 Photoshop reads this when attempting to "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). HELP!

Finally got a call this morning from an Adobe Rep and he explained to me the issue. He explained that I needed to uninstall the adobe product, in this case Photoshop CS6 and download it again and reinstall it! So, I did that and get the same message when attempting to open the newly downloaded software: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). Please, if someone could help me as soon as possible! I am very anxious to remedy this situation. Thank you!

This seems to have cropped up a lot recently. What has seemed to work so far is intentionally resetting your preferences:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:
