My ipod...a friends computer...too far away to use old one

well heres the story: Im visiting my friend in arkansas and I live in cali...so obviously I cant get to my computer to charge the ipod...
isnt there a way to charge my ipod on another computer without losing all my songs?
please say yes

The least expensive way is a USB Wireless adaptor. However, you can't buy "just any" because most do not come with the required Mac software drivers.
I like this one:
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
It comes with proper drivers and the "cradle" lets you move the antenna for optimum reception.
If your iMac's USB 2.0 ports, you will get rather decent speed with this device. If it has USB 1.1, it will still work but not as fast. G4 1Ghz iMacs could have either 1.1 or 2.0 ports, so it's hard to predict without knowing more details.

I shot a video using my iPad 2, and it is too far away from the subject. How do I zoom in and save the whole video like that? Thanks!

Sorry to be such a moron with this, but I just don't have much experience with this iPad. I have had it for over a year and I just keep adding stuff to it and it has worked great. Now that the memory is used up, I am trying to figure out how to free up space and not lose what I have paid for.
So, Step 1 is complete, as I have "Transferred" all of the purchases.
What is Step 2? I unchecked the concert on the iTunes library, did a sync, but it's still on my iPad.
Thanks again for the help!!!

I plugged my 6th generation Ipod into my computer too early

I plugged my 6th generation Ipod into my computer too early and now Itunes keeps telling me to restore it. I have done this several times and no luck. My Ipod now doesnt even show up in 'My Computer' so I can't reformat either. Please someone help me!!!

Oh I forgot to mention when I have it plugged up to my laptop iTunes doesn't recognize it

My cabinet has fiber yet I am too far away to get ...

Hi Guys,
I was wondering whether I have any options as appartenly I'm too far away to recieve fiber?
Currently my area get <1Mb down so I'd be happy if fiber got us up to something like 8Mb however I'm told they can not check this. I know the further from the cabinet you are the worse the speed will be however the pub I can see across the fields (roughly 1 mile away) receives fiber and has around 15Mb down. Will that mile really make it worthless?
Details:
Exchange HELSTON is served by Cabinet 21
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
ALSO - is there an option to change what cabinet we're on?

Ah, FTTPoD is available to you. It would help because you could get 330Mbps down and 30Mbps up lol.
And yes, it is stupidly expensive but you wouldn't have to go out, so you could sell your car for example.
I suggest you contact Pishnet and see if they can give you some idea of the cost.

Too far away

My MacBook pro is too far away from my router to connect. What is the name of the relay device that I can put half way between? Also do I have to configure something to make that work?

Airport Express is the cheapest way to go and yes you'll have to join your wireless system to extend the range. It may not work with a wireless router that isn't an Apple product.

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account

Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:

I just upgraded to a new computer running Windows 7 from an old one running XP. I would like to transfer all my bookmarks but I don't know where they were and where to move them to in the new computer. Thank You.

Apparently I'm far away from the exchange and so nothing much I can do. After 6 years I am starting to get very frustrated! any ideas? Apart from move to another provider

Yes there is also that.
If you could run a check here https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html and post back the results.
And also if you want to search for your exchange on Samknows it will tell you what's available there, if there is cable around your exchange Im pretty sure BT Infinity would be available.
Also have you tried this:
As standard, the bell wire should be taken out of any master or extension socket as this can reduce the amount of interference your broadband can pick up and sometimes speeds up your broadband and increases the stabibility, see how to remove it here http://bit.ly/qc3bZ4
Also you could try a tidy up of your cables as per this users (RogerB) post : http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217

Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

I dont know if I should set up my IPod as new or to restore it from my old one

So i've had it my IPod Touch for six months and never connected it to my computer until now. But it is asking if I want to set it up as new or to restore it from the last time I synced my old Ipod (which was two years ago). I dont want to have my old IPod's information on my new one and I've also heard that setting it up as new will erase all the memory I already have on it. I have about $30 in apps and music on it and do not want to lose it. It has happened to me before while updating it once and dont want to happen again. So does anyone know which one I should choose and the outcomes of both the options?

File>Devices>Transfer Purchases will transfer the itunes purchases to your ocmputer.
You should sync your ipod to your computer regularly.

How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old one no longer works.

How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer from my iPhone. The old computer no longer works.

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

New 4 Gen iPod--must I name it the same as my old one?

I just received my new 4th gen. iPod, which is replacing my 2nd gen. iPod. I want to connect to iTunes (on a Mac) and (while holding my breath) transfer the contents of my old iPod to my new one. (I do realize that some apps that are not compatible with the new OS might not transfer.) My question is: Do I need to name my new iPod the same as my old one? I'm referring to the left-hand column in iTunes where, once you've connected, it shows whatever you've named your device, and, under all the tabs, all the contents of your device.
Thanks for any responses and any advice at all about making this change. I've spent a great deal of time reading through this forum to be prepared for any potential situations that may come up in making this change.

Not at all, you can name it anything you'd Like, it doesn't have to match.
