My laptop has crashed and I'm in between getting a new one but need to update my iOS on my iPad, is there anyway of doing this without a laptop or computer?

If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My computer has died and I've had to by a new one. I can no longer access my Creative Cloud serial numbers?

Hello
My computer has died and I've had to by a new one. I have a creative cloud account registered under my email <Removed by Moderator> for both Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 which I pay for via Direct Debit.
I no longer have the Creative Cloud app but downloaded both programs to my new iMac. Photoshop works fine but Lightroom is still on trial purchase and asks for serial number. My account page on your site has no record of my CC account and shows no serial number for my purchased products. (It only lists a previous purchase of Lightroom-4)
How can get the serial numbers to my purchased products when they don't appear on my account settings on your website. Do I need to close my account a open a new one?

Hello Ratandeep
I pay £8.57 for my Creative Cloud purchases of both Photoshop CC and
Lightroom-5 via my Barclays Bank Account to Adobe in Ireland. The last
payment was 13 Aprii 2015. Two weeks ago.
Now I have a new computer. I can sign into my Creative Cloud but it says I
have a 'Creative Cloud free account' as I'm using trial versions. I do not
have a redemption code as I must of lost it when my old computer died. I
can get online so that is not an issue.
When I sign in to my account the Creative Cloud products do not appear
under my purchases so I cannot view serial numbers or change the credit
card I pay with. It seems that your website and my account section do not
know I am making regular monthly payments for CC.
If you check I am actually making the payments as I describe can you please
let me have my serial numbers.
MANY THANKS
Mike

I've had a fault with the hard drive on my laptop, it's been replaced and now my iphone and ipod can not sync unpurchased items with itunes. Is there anyway of sorting this without uploading all of my CD's again?

If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

Your problem shows the importance of making backups.

I uninstalled Safari because it kept crashing and cannot find where to get a new installation. Do I have to reinstall Lion?and cannot find

I uninstalled Safari because it kept crashing and cannot find where to get a new installation.

There's no official download - the simplest thing is to reinstall via Recovery. That's only a problem if downloading 4+GB is difficult. Your files/data should remain intact, although you'd want backups in any case.

From what I understand from this post, yes you do qualify for a replacement.

the screen of my ipod cracked so will i be able to get a new one but i left my ipod in the locker and my mom is planning to go tomorrow without the ipod to the apple store but we still got the case of the ipod from the first day we cant find the receit though

1) you can get a replacement one, though you might have to pay the out of warranty price for the device (normal iPod touch 4th gen 8g = $99)
2) If you don't have the iPod itself, its is highly unlikely they'll replace it since you won't be handing the original over (since its in your locker)

Yeah, and it didn't work.
I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

Hi i haven't updated my iDVD seen 2005 and to get the new one i need 7.0.4 first and i downloaded it from the apple website and when i go into the updating process its says "An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications." why"

Because you need to buy iLife 08 or newer on DVD first. If you're using iDVD 05, you probably have a PowerPC Mac and can't use iLife 11.

You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

I've just set up my mac Mail to receive my hotmail. It's now trying to download the whole of my hotmail account of 20,000 emails! I only want it to show the latest 200 (like on iPhone and IPad) Is there anyway to control this?

On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on :( please help

you can't use scenes in html5 projects.
that's also no significant limitation because there's never a situation (afaik) where you need to use scenes. they are strictly a convenience for designers.
i don't know any programmers that use scenes.

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.
