My mac air does not have enough memory to hold all the music I want. Can I delete songs from my library before downloading new ones and still have the old songs there when I sync my iPod?
I have a macbook air with 60GB memory. For work, I have used up all the memory and constantly use the files, so transfering them to a different location is not a possibilty now. I have about 5GB of music on it, but would like to transfer more on my iPod classic. I would like to know wether there is a possibility for me to delete old music, get new music into its place and then sync the iPod without losing the old music from it.
Hope I was clear enough.

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!!
Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness. -
i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?
Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

I was able to transfer my music from my old PC to my new one and connect to the newest version of ITunes but my playlists from my old PC do not appear on my new PC when I open ITunes. Any suggestions?
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I just purchased my first iPad (the new one) and a wireless keyboard. Is there a keyboard usage manual available anywhere that shows the functions of the keys? The info that came with the keyboard was very basic and my searches have been unsuccessful.

Command + X: Cut Selected Text
Command + Z: Undo
Command + Shift + Z: Redo
Command + Delete: Delete everything to the left of the cursor on the current line
Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
F1: Dim screen
F2: Brighten screen
F7: Back one song
F8: Play/pause song
F9: Skip song
F10: Mute
F11: Decrease volume
F12: Increase volume
Eject button: Show or hide onscreen keyboard

My email was deleted and I have long since forgotten the password - plus I must have typed personal information in incorrectly... I can't reset my password (email goes to deceased email account) and I have $$$$ left! What do I do to get access to the remaining dollars?
You do realize that there are many, many email providers and without knowing which one you are talking about, there is no way to answer your question?
Which then leads to this ..... Have you contacted your email provider about this? That's probably the best place to start. See what they recommend. -

does anyone know how to delete songs that came with the iPhone 6 in the music?? i tried deleting them from iTunes but i couldn't.
I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off -

Does anyone know how to resolve this? please help.
AdrienneWe need some numbers. Connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable. Click on its name in iTunes.
Look at the bottom of the iTunes screen; there will be a graph of the memory usage of the phone. At the right end it will tell you how much free memory you have.
Now go to iPhoto. Select all of the images you want on the phone. iPhoto will tell you how much space is required.
Compare the 2 numbers, available vs total of the image sizes. -
