My laptop has broken. How do I now access iTunes and will I lose all my apps?
My laptop is broken. How do I now access iTunes ? Will I lose all my apps and music? Any help needed , thanks in advance.
If your hard drive is busted, then yes. If your hard drive still works, then no. Unless every single media item in your collection is on your iPhone. But even then there is no official way to get into the system files. IIRC you can transfer the content on your iPhone to another computer (say if you got a new computer) when plugged in for the first time. Not too sure of this though.

how can I get my music in my itunes library on my ipad? If I sync the itunes library will I lose all my apps on my ipad?
Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

So in itunes under icloud I removed one of the phones we have.
Not the apps wont't update on the phone that was removed how do I add the phone back into the icloud acount?If that new toolbar isn't empty then it should reappear after closing and restarting Firefox. All customization data is stored in the file localstore.rdf.
Is Firefox creating a new file localstore.rdf ?<br />
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See:<br />
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]<br />
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br />
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?
I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.
Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

The harddrive on my old laptop which my ipad was originally set up on literaly melted so i no longer have access to that.
I bought a new laptop and I need to know how to set my ipad up and update it on this one without losing any apps/music etc??It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your back up copy to put everything on the new computer.

I have never connected my iphone5 to my computer because the computer was broken. Now that it is fixed, I want to know if I will lose all my photos and texts on the 5 if I restore from last backup of my 4s?
If you restore to an older backup, you will get the content that is in the backup. Everything on the iPhone will be erased and you will be brought back to the time that backup was made. See this document prepared by another user about syncing to a new computer https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I did a restore settings for my iTouch which wiped out the apps. What happens when I sync my iPad? Will I lose all the apps on the iPad? I realize it was a huge mistake to mess with the settings on the iTouch.

I tried to install an itunes update yesterday on my Dell Laptop. I kept getting an error message. Now I cannot access itunes and it says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose all of my music?
Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins. -
my i tunes, all of the sudden is saying corrupt and to reinstall, how do i go about this, and will i loose all my music. Why did this happen? i am using a dell laptop.
By the way, this forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. If you need further assistance, I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum.

My laptop has broken and i have been given a new one by apple - this has changed my serial number so my Adobe Ps,Ai etc are not working and say my licence has expired. How can i get this to work?
uninstall anything adobe 'migrated' to your new mac, clean and then properly install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
