Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC? My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.
Yes.
You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar -
My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?
It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other. -
(1) Is there any way that I can get the transition menu to remain on the screen. I select a transition, drag it to the timeline and after I click done I have to start the process all over to perform this action on the next transition. I have premiere elements 12. In older version the menu would stay on the screen.
(2) In pan and zoom how can start zoom on a photo in the original picture and zoom in and the next picture zoom out and the next photo pan from right to left and the next photo pan left to right.
Thanks

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? If you have not already, be sure to update 12 to 12.1, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
But to the immediate questions, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
1. No, it is what it is. But, are you applying the same transition each time? If so, then highlight/select all the clips involved (all at one time), then Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition will do just that for the highlighted/selected clips.
To highlight/select more than one clip at a time, hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard and then click on each clip that you want in the group selection
or
with your mouse cursor draw a rectangle around the clips that you want to select
2. Are you using the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace Pan and Zoom Tool? Or the pan or zoom presets under fx Effects/Presets/? With those you can do pan or zoom, not pan and zoom.
Or, are you in the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor using the pan and zoom effect there? Or, are you using keyframing the Motion Scale property for zoom and the Motion Position property for pan?
Are you asking about photos with landscape or portrait orientation?
The pan and zoom tool does one photo at a time.
Have you read the Adobe documentation on the Pan and Zoom Tool?

Please review and clarify and then we can get into greater details on this.
Thanks.

I got the IOS 7.1 update and I don't like it. Is there any way that I can remove the update and return my software back to the way it was before I got the update?
Please, I really wnat to change my phone's sofeware back to IOS 7.0.6. I really don't like the IOS 7.1
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE THE IOS 7.1 DRIVES ME INSANE!Even though it wasn't me who started this thread i would like to say that i hate iOS 7.1 too
They're back! The IOS haters.
When you get a call it has some small icons of reminding and message and one white ugly "slide to answer" bar.*** seriously?
People complained about the green bar in IOS 7.0.3. You can't please everyone with everything. Deal with it and move on. Or you can just get a Droid phone and suffer through the bizarre interface changes.
A lot of people would really appreciate a release with the old interface back.
People complained about every interface change that Apple has tried. As I said earlier, you can't please everyone with everything. The interface is what it is, learn it, deal with it, or move on to something more to your liking. I think they still make flip phones. -
I backed up my phone before i went on vacation. I dropped my phone in a pool and now it doesn't work, is there any way that i can get the pictures that I took on vacation off of the phone?
IF you had icloud backups and Camera Roll turned on in Settings on the wet phone, then you can restore that backup to an iOS device, but not a computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Once you get a replacement phone...
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

i made a windows partition on my mac but now i cant swap back to the mac part so is there any way that i can delete the windows partition whilst running windows 7 so i can go back to the mac part
You are telling us you read and tried the normal methods?
Boot Camp or Taskbar. Option on restart. "x" on startup. And none of those work. -
After clicking on an update for iTunes, the only change I noticed was the addition of about 9000 sound bytes, which was ridiculous and wasteful. I started to delete all the sound bytes, but that was going to be a huge chore. Instead, I moved the songs I had in my library to a playlist called "backup library." I then chose to "select all" under edit to highlight the rest of the 9000 soundbytes and delete these in one click. At first, this seemed to work. I still had the saved songs in my playlist, and the 9000 sound bytes went to the recycle bin. I then emptied the recycle bin to get rid of the sound bytes. When I checked iTunes again, there were no songs anywhere in the library or playlists. Is there any thing you can do to help restore all of these songs (and none of the sound bytes) to my IPOD Classic? Is my account saved with a back-up of everything I had saved in my iTunes library and playlists?
I have about 1500 songs in my IPOD Classic that are not affected by this error. Is there a way that I can transfer all of these songs back into my iTunes library?
I would appreciate any help with this problem.Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

ive just got a new computer and installed ITunes. ive brought all my music across from the old computer but when ive added it to I tunes it has checked all the songs. is there a way you can uncheck all the songs you don't want (same as previous computer) or do you have to go through and manually uncheck all the songs you don't want on the I pod??
When you copied the music from your old computer you should have included the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) as well as your media files - this is the structure (normally in C:\Users\username\Music) that you should copy from old to new:
If you only copied the media, and not the database file, try doing so now (without iTunes running) - the files and folder structures should be the same on your new PC as on your old one.
Then hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes; you'll get this prompt:
Click on Choose Library..., then browse to and select the iTunes Library.itl file that you just copied. Your library should now be in the state that it was on your old machine, including checked selections.
By the way, using checkboxes against individual songs is a really inefficient way to manage how content is synced to an iDevice. Its much easier to create a playlist that you can move songs/albums in and out of, and configure your iDevice to sync media from this playlist. -

Dear all,
I just downloaded the now IOS7 on my iPhone4S, the background picture has faded a bit, the folders that contains my icons are solid bright gray and the keyboard is pail/bright gray and I can hardly see it. Is there a way that I can change the colors, the shades, etc? I don't like the new layout, it's too bright and too pale, like the face of a Georgian monarchy. Thank you for your help and support.
Raya AlfaI changed the background picture, which is a dark pink flower, now the folders have become solid pink! Not esthetically pleasing

i shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??
Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
