  • Hard drive crashed and had over 800 songs on my iPod.  Can I transfer all my songs from my iPod to my new computer so I can download new songs without losing any of my songs?

    My old desktop crashed and I had over 800+ songs on my old computer.  I have a new laptop but want to transfer ALL songs to my new computer not just those purchased on iTunes.  I want to save all 800+ songs and then begin to download new songs to my iPod.  Any suggestions?

    Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

  • All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive?

    All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps. 

  • I recently had a hard drive crash and had to reinstall PS. Now it doesn't work right.

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I replaced the C: drive with a solid state and now have 3 internal HDs. C: for the OS (Windows 7), D: for data and P: for program installation. Because I replaced the C: drive, I had to re-install all my programs. Now, PhotoShop will not let me place text, inserting the text tool causes the program to stop responding. In InDesign, if I try to place a MS Word document, it acts as if I never did that action and I can't get it placed.
    I can copy and paste, but doing so makes the formatting get left behind. I suspect it may not have installed correctly. I've used Adobe products since 1991 and never had this happen before. I even used Aldus PageMaker before the Suites were available. Can anyone help? Is it a reinstallation issue?
    I use PhotoTools from OnOne and if I uninstall it to reinstall CS4, I'm afraid it will no longer honor my product key.
    I will not give up until this work like it used to. I'm too old to upgrade.

    The faulty HD was replaced with a solid state one and that works fine. The fan that caused the errors on the old HD was removed. The system is probably not an issue since I had to reinstall my Windows 7 and it was the only thing installed on the C: drive. I have another drive that I run programs from and one other that I use only for data. Plus a backup drive. The BIOS was reset. The only remaining problems I have are trying to find the software for the web cam driver and I think I will just download it again and my problem with PhotoShop and InDesign. Those two are the sticky ones,I depend on those programs. They work, even my PhotoTools plugin works. The only problems seem to be using the type tool in PS and placing MS Word documents (.docs and .docxs) I think the program must not have installed correctly but I'm afraid if I reinstall it, it might be worse and then I might have to reinstall PhotoTools. That would require calling the company again because when I reinstalled it the last time, it said that it couldn't accept the product #, it had been used before. Yeah, by me. I called them and they gave me a new number, but I don't know if they will be happy if I do that again. So, my best bet is to see if I can fix those two functions. Thank you for your response. let me know if you have anything to add. I appreciate your time.

  • My hard drive crashed, and I got a new one. How do I get my contacts and calendar from my Iphone back into outlook?, my hard drive crashed, and I got a new one. How do I get my contacts and calendar from my Iphone back into outlook?

    My hard drive crashed. I have all my contacts and calendar in my IPhone. I now have a new hard drive and am trying to get my contacts and calendar into the reinstalled outlook on my desktop but can't sync. Suggestions? Thanks

    Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
    If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.

  • After my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced, Adobe will not activate the copy of Photoshop on the same machine it was originally on.  I paid for it, why can't I use it?

    I have been buying and using Adobe Photoshop through numerous versions over the past several decades. and I used to recommend it whenever I had an opportunity. Now I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.  I could say a lot more than that, using words my parents taught me to not use.
    Adobe now has their head in the clouds and doesn't care a whit about faithful customers.
    I had CS3 on one machine, CS4 on another, and CS6 on another one. The hard drive on the machine with CS3 and had to be replaced.  I am trying to install CS3 back on the same computer, but Adobe will not let me activate it, even though I am trying to put it on the computer it was originally on.  I paid for it, I have gone by the rules, and Adobe will not even talk to me.  And as far as I can determine, Adobe is so far out in the clouds that it has nothing but contempt for the people that kept them in business for decades!
    What I would really like to do is move CS4 onto the machine that originally had CS3 on it, and put CS3 onto the machine that now has CS4, but I assume nobody at Adobe cases what I would like, even though I paid for the software and have no intention of trying to have it installed on more than one machine at a time.
    An Unhappy FORMER Adobe customer.

    Gene,
    Thanks for your input.  The first response was from Semaphoric, and the suggestion to go to Activation  <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__helpx.adobe.com_x-2Dproductkb_policy-2 Dpricing_activation-2Ddeactivation-2Dproducts.html&d=AAMFaQ&c=2X_btuPRWkGwRX26NHIotw&r=SV2 7JiUdsqdd_EMOf-dq7w&m=ZZ3uTbq0aPS1gp4Hdc7Kfaq1cjXsUii7RKXoXvqBPGg&s=c6eaD33CSBrFAMNKsC0pPB qnQK4DfAG7wMSJ6E27pyU&e=> & Deactivation Help proved to be helpful.  I was never able to activate CS3 on the computer it was on originally, but I had been unaware that a license allowed installing on two computers if only one is in use at any time, so I uninstalled CS3 and installed CS4 on the old computer, so I am happy about that. 
    When I get time, I will try to install and activate CS3 on my laptop computer.  I thought about trying to install CS6 on the old computer, but CS6 is on my wife’s computer, and we are often both using Photoshop at the same time.  I will probably install it on her notebook computer – if they will let me.
    Thanks again,
    RG

  • In the summer of 2013 I updated my Macbook Air to Mavricks and my solid state hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. Has this issue been fixed and is it safe to upgrade?

    Please help! I don't want to have to get a new hard drive. My warentee has now expired. Is it safe to upgrade? The service person I talked to said that it had happened to quite a few MacBook Airs.

  • My hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  How do I petition iTunes to allow me to redownload my music?

    How do I petition iTunes to allow me to re-download all of my purchased music?

    First off, if you have a portable device such as an iPod/iPhone/iPad with media on it that at one point and time you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can transfer that back to your computer at any time.
    If you absolutely have no copies on a device or backed-up, then Apple is (as I hope you're aware) not obligated to let you re-download any of your purchases. Someone claimed that Apple let them redownload either a song or a handful of songs that they lost when they used the contact apple form here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html?form=music&topic=Music%20Purcha ses&subtopic=Lost%20or%20Missing%20Items. However, I do not know if this is even true or not. I guess if you want to give it a shot you can try that but remember they are not obligated to do this for you.
    I hate to be a bummer, but there is a good chance Apple will say we are sorry, but there is nothing we can do, and will advise you to in the future (and this is something I more than echo) is always have your music purchases backed up. Invest in an external hard drive and since you have a Mac, use Time Machine! It's absolutely perfect for backing up your iTunes library and once you plug it in you can forget about it as it updates automatically. It may be a 80-100 dollar investment now but as you may see it is well worth the purchase. So morale of story: back-up back-up back-up!!

  • My hard drive crashed and had to be replaced now itunes does not recognize my computer is my music lost? it's backed up to the cloud

    my hard drive crasched ans now I cant retrive my music in I tunes is all lost, I do back up to the cloud

    iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
    Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.
