My iphone 5 was originally set up on my sony laptop

and i recently purchased a macbook what do i have to do to be able to add music from my mac?

There's a problem: if you connect your iPhone now to the MacBook, your iPhone will be erased because it will be detected as synced with another library.
Before connecting it, one thing you can do is to transfer the iTunes library from your Sony computer to the MacBook, so you will be able to sync your iPhone with your MacBook without being erased. Follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 (The "Restoring your iTunes Library" step must be done on the MacBook)

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?

Can I sync on old 3G iPhone to my new iMac even though it was originally set up on an HP computer that has since died. I want to retrieve the photos only.

Will I be able to retrieve photos on my old 3G iPhone that was originally synced to an old HP computer that has since died if I try to sync it to my new iMac? All I want to do is save the photos on the 3G iPhone.

Are these photos in your camera roll or were they synced to your 3G? Makes a big difference. If in your camera roll, you can use either iPhoto or Image capture to import them to your Mac. If they were synced to your 3G, you'll have to use third-party software to extract them:

Apple makes no provision to extract synced photos from an iOS device. Bear in mind, they were reduced in resolution when synced to your phone, & there's no way to recover their full resolution.

Can not restore iphone back to original setting

i can not restore my iphone back to original setting, when i try to restore my iphone via itunes, it shows "The iphone could not be resotore. An unknown error occurred(-18)." anyone can help me out to fix this problem??

Was your iPhone "hacked" or unlocked in any way?

IMessage is not working for my new number it will let me use the number the phone was originally set to and my email address but since I updated to iOS 7 it won't let me select my new number; it is just in grey

I just updated to iOS 7 and now my iMessages won't work. It just keeps saying activating iMessage but it's not doing anything; I tried signing in with my Apple ID but then it just lets me send them using my email address and the number the phone was originally set to; even though that is not my actual number that I use as I changed it through Vodafone so the SIM card now has a different number.
It won't even let me click on my number to select it; it is just that faded grey colour and there are no ticks by it;
And when it says "may be a standard SMS charge to activate" I'm not even getting a text through to be able to activate it anyway
How can I fix this?

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

TS3694 if restoring my iphone to the original setting, will all the files like photos and videos be deleted?

if i restore my iphone to its original settings, will my files like photos and videos be deleted?

yes a backup is saving everything. backup will save everything on the phone at the moment of the backup.
that is if you want all your pics and anything else you have on it. if you don't want or need anything on it then you can restore it to factory and that will remove everything of yours off of it and make it a factory phone. default setup phone. Then if you want the info back if you did a backup which is explained by Raxmee209. then you can restore it to exactly how you had it the time you did the backup.

My iphone 4s was originally sync with a computer I no longer have and now it won't sync with icloud because I can't turn on the sync portion on the phone because it only recognizes the computer I no longer have

I have an iPhone 4s I have gone to iTunes and everything has been synced in the clouds.
Buuuttttt when I go to my iPhone which I purchased last year in 2012 I started it up with a computer I no longer have.
When I go to setting and then go to "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync"
I get the following message: Sync will resume when -----Pc is available. well this computer is no longer available. And the area on the iphone showing up is in grey so it won't allow me to syn via wi-fi
I downloade some txt messages alerts a long time ago and no matter what I try I can't get them on my phone. they show up in iTunes but can't get them to my sound section on my phone.

TS1591 My iPhone 5 was originally backed up to another computer (that is now dead) and my new computer won't recognize it. So how do I get the new computer to recognize it?

I'm trying to back-up my iPhone to iTunes, but when the phone is plugged in it does not register as a device in iTunes.
The phone is receiving a charge from the computer.
All of my software is up to date.
I am using a computer other than the one I last backed the phone up with (my old laptop crashed, now I'm working off of my new iMac).
How do I get the computer to recognize the phone so I can do a back-up?

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.

Reset iphone to my original setting

i reset my iphone4 and accidentally chose to set it up as a new phone. How can I reset the phone back to my old settings?

you have to restore from a backup if you have one

I just want my tabs to load for the web link they were originally set for. Instead I am getting the last page visited or the tab has been logged out.

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981122''
I have "Show My Home Page" for the Startup option
I have LastPass set to AutoLogin
I have the cookies for the tab sites in the Cookies Exceptions list
Despite all of this, the tabs are "logged out" when I restart Firefox, and sites that have no logins are not opened based on the web address the tab was originally set for.

Type '''about:config''' in the URL and filter
*'''browser.stratup.homepage''' and change the value as the website you need to load.

How can i reverse if i restore my i phone to original setting by mistake

i tried to update my iphone but for some reason i mistakenly restore my iphone to its original setting so i lost all my data, so now i wanna know how can i get it back or reverse it back to the previous settings.

If you have "auto-sync" enabled; make sure to disable it from iTunes preferences before connecting your iPhone to iTunes for restoring from a backup.
