    since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?

    Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
    If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried.

    I'm not sure what your question is. If it's about your iTunes downloads/library then copy them back from your backup of your library and add it into your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
    Or you might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - if you've changed countries since buying them, or if the rights-holder has removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them.
    If you have non-iTunes purchased music on your phone and don't have a copy of it on your backup then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 notebook crashed, and won't run properly anymore

    A couple of days ago, my notebook froze, whilst I was listening to music, and everything switched to "Not Responding". The first two or three times it started to work again. But one time it just kept saying that, so I had to force shut down it. I run Windows 8 on it. When I restarted it, it went to the Windows 8 screen whilst loading, then a black screen. It remained on that screen for a while, so I force shut down the notebook again. When I restarted it, the notebooks automatically went into System Recovery, and attempted to fix system errors. It went to another black screen, and in some impatience, I force shut down the notebook again. I assume this may have resulted in the corruption of some system files. I restarted it again, but this time left it running overnight, again the notebook was trying to do a System Recovery. The next morning I came back to the notebook, and it was on the login screen. It took a very long time attempting to login, and I was in a rush to leave that morning, so force shut it down again. It worked, but very very slowly. It would take ages to even open My Documents. One problem that occurred sometimes was that when I restarted, it would say "boot device not found", and then a couple more force shut downs and start ups later it would find the hard drive. But it still ran really slowly. I realized that it wasn't just going to work like this, so attempted to copy all of my file onto an external hard drive. I left that running overnight, and when I came back in the morning, the notebook was again on the "boot device not found" screen. After that, it refused to do anything but show that same screen, so my cousin, who works in IT, booted Windows 7 onto it from a USB. He tried to work with getting the notebook running, and spent a whole day on it, it ran so slowly, but found that the system files had been corrupted. And there was no access to my hard drive because both the system files and my personal files were on one C: drive, rather than partitions. He spent the afternoon trying to use a file recovery software, and said it managed to get about 90% done, and the approximate file count he stated sounded similar to how many it stated it had found to copy, when I attempted to copy all of my files. So, I'm assuming it's possible to recover my files, though right now I have no access to them. I have no problem with restoring it to it's factory default settings, installing a new operating system, etc, but I really really need my files. I have spent way too much time collectively creating a massive database of various files, in two or so years of use, and it's very unsettling that I may have just lost everything. So, what the hell happened? And how do I fix it? Will I need to send my laptop to HP, because I have no problem in that either, it's of no use to me right now, anyways?

    Hello Aeonica,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I understand the computer is unable to detect a boot device and run properly. I will do my best to assist you.
    To troubleshoot the issue, HP released a document on this hardware error. If you try these steps, you may be able to resolve the boot device error: Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message
    I believe these steps will resolve the issue. Unfortunately, the computer should be serviced if the issue is not resolved. To do this, please contact HP phone support. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
    Please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

    It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You purchase one download only.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • I have a new computer, and a new iTunes. My old computer crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I switch over my iPod and iPad to my new iTunes?

    My laptop crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I transfer everything to my new iTunes to be able to sync my products with having to "erase" and start from scratch on evrything? Any insight will be greatly appreciatted!  Thank you!!

    Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
    Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
    If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

  • My Laptop with Synced Firefox crashed and i had to do a fresh install, how can i retrieve all the synced data from the Mozilla Servers

    I had set up Firefox sync on my Windows 7 Laptop which crashed and I had to reinstall windows. I used to be able to share content with my Firefox synced Android too. Is there a way i can retrieve the synced data from the Mozilla servers? I tried to set up sync on my new installation on a Mac 10.6 but when i click on Set-up Sync it asks me:
    # Set-up new sync account (i already have one)
    # I already have a sync account
    When i select the second option it tells me to Add a device. I went in the "Sync Options" and tried the replace all data on this computer with my sync data, but nothing happened. When i try to connect from my Android it also asks me to add a device with the 3 boxes with letters in them.
    So in both the cases it is asking me to "Add a device" but i cannot connect to my sync account in either case to sync data from there
