My ipod is the second Generation, how can i upgrade to get the latest game apps and such?

You probably can't. Many games and other apps now require iOS 4.3 or later, and iOS 4.2.1 is the last version that will run on a 2nd-gen iPod touch. If you want to run newer games, you'll need a newer iPod. If you want to look for games that will run on your iPod, here's a tip from another user that may help you:
"I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1. What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below.
I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest. I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on). Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1.
This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com. login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

I bought PhotoShop 12.0 for Windows 8. I cannot find the Curves function in the program. Is Curves excluded from this version? If so, how can I upgrade to get Curves? Thank you!

Thank you, Michel, for your helpful answer. I have downloaded SmartCurve and saved the files in C:\program files\adobe\Photoshop elements\plug-ins. I re-started PhotoShop. Do I access SmartCurve to adjust curves from within PhotoShop?
You can acces it from the menu 'Filters', there is a line called 'Easy.Filter', click it and it shows 'Smartcurve'.
Separately, can I upgrade my PhotoShop Elements to Photoshop without signing up to the CC 'rental' system of monthly payments? Sincere thanks, Ted
I know that you don't need the CC 'rental' subscription to have Photoshop, but as far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Elements except periodical special offers.

Father's macbook now mine. How can I change name, admin, etc without losing apps and programs?

Hello.
My father bought a Macbook Pro 15' retina 8Gb ram 256Gb SSD about 2 months ago.
He set it up, bought many apps and programs but eventually got bored of it and gave it to me.
He is not a Mac enthusiast and thought he should give it a try but he didn't stick to it.
I'm not a Mac enthusiast either, but a good notebook is an ok present so I took it.
I installed some programs and stuff, tried to learn how it works (I have no idea, I was always using windows), and I think I like it.
However, the MacBook has my father's name, my father is the admin, and all the apps programs etc the he and I bought and installed are in his account.
I have his password though. That's how I've been using it the whole time.
How can I change the MacBook to make it "my own"?
I have an apple ID cause I have an iPhone etc but I'm sure just changing that under the admin page won't be enough.
Will I lose the apps my father bought?
Will I have to reinstall all the programs that I installed while I was using the MacBook? For example will photoshop and capture nx be deleted as if I was formatting a pc and I will have to install them again?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS. MacBook is now running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 and I want to upgrade.
But first I want to make myself the "owner" to start getting things in the right order.

How can i upgrade system IOS images of routers, switches and firewalls

Hi,
I am very much surprised and less of understanding yet how Cisco's licensing program or IOS upgrades are done. I have many routers, switches & ASA's of whom i wan to upgrade the IOS's but i cannot do so. How ever i can download those images from internet but i want to know how can i do this from Cisco as i don't want to trust those IOS's available over internet.
As per my study what i have found that i need to have Cisco Service Contract number for that devices so that i can download updated IOS Images for them.
Someone kindly explain what are the best methods for the above requirements.
Regards
@Mohammed

You're correct regarding a service contract. Cisco calls this Smartnet support. It includes both hardware support (i.e. returns for failed hardware), software support (including right to download and upgrade your software) and technical assistance (via the Cisco TAC). Smartnet is charged separately for each covered device. Once you have it, your cisco.com userid needs to be associated with your service contract number. Doing that will then allow you to download the software from cisco.com. (There are some very limited cases in which you don't have to have a support contract - mostly when there is a security advisory (PSIRT) indicating the Cisco software was flawed as it was initially released.)
Every product (or product family) has a product support page on cisco.com. That page includes release notes, configuration guide, users guides, and a link to software downloads for that product. Start by reading the release notes and determining which (if any) upgrade is appropriate for your product. Then you can download and upgrade the software as necessary.

Nforce420: How can I upgrade BIOS on a computer with NTFS and no flopp

I have a multimedia PC in my living room hooked up to my TV and I am planning to use it as a PVR, MP3 jukebox, DVD player and photo album.
I build this machine in a small aluminium case, with the minimum components. I chose the nForce as the platform for this machine to minimise the number of components (and noise/heat).
I'm running Windows XP with NTFS and there is no floppy drive in this system. Do you guys have an idea about how I can upgrade the bios from 2.0 to 2.4 (or 2.6?)?
Thanks in advance

Well, if you have any kind of internet connection on the computer, then MSI LiveUpdate is the way to go. I had the same problem after I didn't quite plug in my floppy right the other day -- the burning smell was exhilirating but my computer was fine. I have only NTFS partitions too and no floppy, but with an Internet connection it was easy to update the bios.
For some reason LiveUpdate wanted to tell me that the latest BIOS is 2.4, so if you navigate to C:\Program Files\Setup Files\MS6373v240 and replace the BIOS image files there with the 2.6 ones you downloaded, and run Winflash.exe, it will flash you to 2.6.
Alternately you could just download all that stuff on another computer and burn a CD with it. You could make that CD bootable or you could boot off a Win98 startup CD or something and put your CD in after the computer boots up...not really sure how well that would work.
Winflash has worked fine for me the three times I've used it (from 2.4 to 2.5, then back to 2.4, and now to 2.6).

How can I upgrade to ios5 without losing games data

I need to upgrade my iPad, but if I do I will lose my game's data, and will need start all from the begining again. The backup made by iTunes do not save this kind of data. What can I do??????????

Actually the backup that is created by iTunes IS where the game save data is supposed to be stored. The backup contains app data, app settings and in-app purchases. From what I understand - Many games are saved in the cloud on the game's servers as well, so depending upon the game, the backup doesn't come into play anyway.
But the only way that you can ensure that the data will be saved is to backup the iPad.

How can I set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files?

I want to set up multiple ipads with preloaded apps and files before handing them out to employees. We intendend the employee to be able to install their own content on the device using their own itunes account. When I attempted to connected to a pc using a personal account my the content obtained by the company account was prompted to be removed. Was this done incorrectly? Is there a way I can set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files so that they don't get removed when the user connects them to another computer with another itunes account?
Right now we are looking to have the employee use their own itunes account and reimburse the expense for the needed apps, but this could be an issue if they leave the company and the device is reassigned.

Yes this is possible. I've been using Apple Configurator to do this (you could also use iTunes to restore backups). The trick is, you need to tell the end user not to sync apps within his/her iTunes on his/her computer. You will need to instruct the end user to download apps OTA using the App Store on the iPad rather than with iTunes on his/her computer. If the user tries to sync apps on his/her computer, it will wipe out apps that you installed. However if the user downloads apps OTA, your apps and the user downloaded apps will both stay on the iPad.
When you hand the iPad to the user, be sure to log out of your company Apple ID on the iPad at Settings -> Store and have them sign in with their personal Apple ID. That way it is all set for them to download apps under their own Apple ID.

I have just updated an iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0.1 and lost a lot of the Apps that were on the phone. How do I get them back? Can I view my backed up items and select items to restore?

You can restore the backup to get the apps back from the last backup

My computer is broke and I need to transfer my music and apps to my other computer how can I do this without loosing all my apps and music

I tried to transfery my music and apps befor but it said it would delete all of the file on my iPod so I could really use some help

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can transfer other stuff by the info supplied in this previous discussion:

After you get the stuff on the new computer, let iTunes erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is now in the iTunes library. All yu saved games and app date will be lost.

I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc, thankyou

I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc so that I can play it in the house and put it on a cd for the car. I went into the itunes store to play the tune and it cuts out there too. thankyou

Hello there, La Clairiere Feerique.
I understand you are having issues with playback of a purchased song. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song from your computer, then re-download from your purchase history.
To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
Music
Open the section below for the device you are using.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Mac or PC
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Launch iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.
