New computer and songs on old one

I just got a new computer, partly due to the fact that something was wrong with the one I had. I couldn't download songs from the computer to the ipod or burn CDs from itunes. Is there any way that I can get the songs from my old computer on this one without using the ipod?

You can install the old computer's Hard Drive in the new computer or set up a network and transfer everything.
Personally, I'd install the old computer's Hard Drive just for the extra space, unless you'll still be using the old computer for other things ... in which case, I'd set up a small network ... and not just for this, a network is useful for many file-sharing and associated uses.

How to install Photoshop CS2 on new computer, and deinstall from old one.

I have Photoshop CS2 installed on my desktop since 2005. I now want to install it on a new desktop and remove it from the old desktop.
But does that still work since this is an old version? Who can help me?

CS2 activation is no longer supported. Go here for a non-activation copy and new serial number.

Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

I have just bought a new iPhone and gave my old one to my Mum. My problem is that even with a new SIM and phone number I seem to be getting her messages as well as mine on my thread. They are also being recorded as both sent and received so she must be paying twice for each SMS sent. Help please

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

iTunes needs QuickTime to work.
I think you will be all set if you install QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
Download the isntall file to your hard drive - don't install it over the internet.
If you are running anything Norton, turn that completely off before installing.

Have CS5 on current PC, Win 7 64bit; how get *.exe to transfer to new computer after remove from old one?

Baffled by multiple links; found one I think(?) I need. CS5 12.1.
It's basic, so I assume that one goes with CS5 Design Standard, but do not
know. Thanks for answer(s) again.

HT4913 I got a new computer and have an old iPod that I need to add to "manage my device" and cant seem to get it added. When I originally plugged in my iPod to my new computer, it ended up erasing all of my playlists.Help

I have an old iPod that has all of my music and use my personal computer to keep iTunes on and store all of my music. Recently my old computer died and had to get a new computer. I got my iTunes restores on my new computer and see all of my music, but when I tried to sync up my old iPod (love it!), I ended up erasing all of my playlist. In my "manage my device" I see my iPhone, my iPad, but I do not see my iPod. How can I add my iPod to "my manage my Devices" and get it synced up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW - Somehow I was able to restore my iPod back to Factory Settings.

There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

How do I add music to my ipod from new computer and not loose old stuff from old computer?

Have a new computer and would like to add more music to my ipod. It won't let me keep my old music and add new music. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks for the info...sounds like it might work. So just to clarify because I am NOT a computer whiz...by changing the setting it will keep my old downloads on my ipod and now I can download new music with my new computer and add them to my ipod. My old stuff will not be lost. When I was on my new computer there was a button that said, "On this ipod"...I could see all of my old music, but wasn't able to make new playlists or manage them in any way. Will I be able to manage them? Or will they be "frozen" so to speak?
Also, where do I look for this setting?
Thanks so much for your time!

New computer, how to mimic old one?

I have a new computer and just installed Firefox. But if I restart and then load Firefox, only that instance loads. Before, all opened pages opened again, which I prefer. Is there a setting for this?
Also, there was a form filler add-on? What is that name?

Go to '''TOOLS''' then '''Options window''' then '''General panel''' then '''STARTUP '''session in''' When Firefox starts''' scrool and choose '''Show my windows and tabs from last time''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

Time Machine almost full, can I start a new drive and NOT delete old one?

Because I had an External HD crash, I was wondering if I can start a new External Hard Drive (500 GB) from scratch (meaning I don't copy old files to it) and keep the old one as a back up to the back up??? Also, I have NOT been backing up the applications and on the new drive, would like to do that. If I move the old stuff from the 300GB, won't the Applications take up most of the 500 GB??
Or is is simply better to copy everything over (I asssume it all remains on the old 300 GB hard drive) and simply let it start rewriting? My iMac is gettin on in years and I'd like to be prepared should something happen to it.
And as you can tell, I am not very techie so please feel free to talk down to me.
Has anyone migrated to a new External HD? I have directions from Apple, is it easy????
Thanks . . running out of space soon . . .

Just to be sure, do you mean your TM drive crashed? Or an external HD, containing data that TM was backing-up?

Again, I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean put the old TM drive "on the shelf" and start fresh on a new one, then yes. Eject and disconnect it, then format the new one (see Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5 if you're not sure how). Give it a different name, so you're sure which is which, then select it as the destination via the Time Machine Preferences window. TM will do a full backup to it, so may take a while.
The backups on the new drive will be completely separate from the old ones.
If you ever need to see or restore from the new ones, use the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per #17 in the above link.
I have NOT been backing up the applications and on the new drive, would like to do that.
Yes, it's usually not a good idea to exclude System or Applications folders.
If I move the old stuff from the 300GB, won't the Applications take up most of the 500 GB??
No -- your Applications folder is probably in the range of 10-20 GBs.wn to me.

Again, not sure just what you mean.

I got a new computer recently and don't have my old laptop, which has all of the songs in my Itunes on it. I have all of the songs on my iPod touch, is there a way to transfer them to my new computer without having the old one?

I would like to get the music from my iPod touch onto my new laptop (which a PC), but I am affraid that if I plug in my iPod then I will lose all of my music. Is there a way to transfer the music from my iPod to my new laptop without losing songs?

I got a new macbook air and took my old macs back up and put it on the new macs desktop. How do I put my old files and apps to have this new computer look like my old one?

Help! Please! Thanks so much!!!!!

Well, I don't know how you made the backup nor how you restored the backup. However, you don't put an entire backup on to the Desktop.
I suggest you do the following:
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click ont the lock icon and authenticate with the admin password you are currently using. Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account named "temp" (no quotes) and give the account admin status. Assign any password you want (but assign a password.)
Log out of the account you are using and log into the new, temp, account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon. Authenticate with the password you used for "temp." Select the other user account (not the one named Guest) and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third removal option and click on the OK button.
Connect your backup drive. Open Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. Select the option to migrate from another Mac or connected hard drive or select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup if TM was used to back up your old computer. Restore your old Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences per instructions in Migration Assistant.
After the migration has completed (will take several hours) log out of "temp" and log into your newly migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate with your normal account's password. Select the "temp" account, click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third option and click on the OK button.
You should now have just one user account. The one migrated from your old computer.

Have new computer and songs on iPhone and Ipod Nano won't sync

My old desktop crashed so we had to buy a new laptop. I have downloaded iTunes twice and tried every trick in the blogs and nothing works. I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPod Nano full of songs but the only songs syncing are the ones that I've purchased on my iPhone. Nothing else is syncing. Also if I access the Iphone from the my Computer menu it shows up as a camera and if I access my Ipod nano none of the songs show up. Is there a way to sync my iTunes library from my Iphone or Nano? Is the external drive necessary(these are the only explanations on the blogs)? If yes then I'm done because my computer crashed. Please help!!

It has nothing to do with de-authorizing the old computer. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (because it does not have that function), except as you indicated, for songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that will allow transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links (if you use a Mac, add "mac" to he search).
Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to the iTunes library. You can simply drag the files, or the folder(s) containing the files, to the iTunes window.
NOTE: This is how you can de-authorize the old computer without the old computer. Run iTunes and go to the iTunes Store in the sidebar. Log in with your Apple ID, if you are not already. Click on your Apple ID at the upper right corner of the window to go to your Account Information screen. There should be a button to Deauthorize All. This will deauthorize your current computer too, but you can authorize it again. (You can have up to FIVE computers authorized for your iTunes Store account, so you can just leave the old one authorized.)
