New Computer but iPod won't work

I just got a new computer for Christmas (yay!), but I can't do anything with the songs on my iPod when I plug it into the computer. I have some really old songs that I wanna get rid of, but there are many that I want to keep. The computer that I used to use doesn't have iTunes anymore. What can I do?

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 that was loaded onto my new computer but it won't open.

I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 that was loaded onto my new computer but it won't open

Hi,
If it doesnt work after applyign patch try the below solutions:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

HT4527 I transfered my Itunes information using a thumb drive to my new computer and downloaded the newest version of itunes to my new laptop. My songs are all there on the new computer but it won't recognize my ipod and sync.

I transfered my I tunes library to my new laptop using a thumb drive. I downloaded the newest version of Itunes to my new computer. My old ITUNES library of songs and books came across just fine. I can play them on the new laptop but they won't sync with my Ipod. The Itunes shows no devices when I hook it up to the laptop. Windows recognizes that the IPOD is hooked up. But no connection with ITUNES. Did I make a mistake in trying to sync my Itunes purchases to the new laptop before transfering the old library into the new ITUNES. If so how do I undo the problem. Please help. I use a PC with Windows XP.

New computer but Itunes won't transfer all songs.

I know there are other topics but basically my problem is this, my new computer won't sync all of my songs on my iPod. Apparently I'm not authorized to do so. So, I try to authoize my computer with my AOL sign in and it says I need to create an Apple id. So I click continue and it just says that the iTunes store could not process my request and to try again later.
Also, I already have an Apple id to make this post so will I be able to combine it with my AOL name?

sorted it out by playing a purchased track which then required authorising. everything else fell into place.

I tried to backup my bookmarks to move them to new computer, but it didn't work. I deleted the moved folder and now when I try to opn Firefox it says i must first close the existing firefox process or restart the system.

I removed and reinstalled Mozilla and I still get this message. I am assuming that when I deleted the folder that had the bookmarks, something got screwed up in the program. I don't understand why completely deleting the program, downloading it again, and reinstalling it, does not resolve the problem? Also , I want to know how to do this properly, so that I can have my Favorites on the new computer.

Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
* How to stop the running Firefox process
** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
* What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
** http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs (see "Hang at exit" section)
** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Downloaded pse 4.0 to new computer, but it won't let me burn a cd?

Got a new computer with windows 7, installed PSE 4.0, it will let me edit the photos, but I can't burn or copy the phonots to a CD.

Hi,
I don't think PSE 4 is Win 7 compatible. This could be a reason for some anomalies.

Itunes says that I have five computers authorized, but I have only done this for one computer. I want to authorize a new computer but it won't let me. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I have one computer authorized to connect with my ipad and ipod. I would like to authorize my husband's computer to enable home sharing, but keep getting the error that I have five computers authorized. Not sure how this is possible. I'm tempted to try to deauthorize all computers and start over, but fear that this may create new problems. Any ideas on where the issue is?
thanks -
Deb

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

I hope this helps!

Switched HD to new computer now ethernet won't work [SOLVED]

Had an old Dell desktop in which the motherboard failed (capacitors leaked), but was able to move the HD into another Dell with a similar architecture (Dell Optiplex GX270 ->Dell Dimension 8400). Everything seems to work fine except the wired internet.
When I boot up ip link shows the eth0 as "DOWN". Performing a
ip link set eth0 up
seems to correct this except when I run
dhcpcd
(or dhclient) "DISCOVER" packets are sent out with no response (dhcpcd keeps sending out discover packets until it times out).
lsmod
shows that the correct module is loaded. Which is tg3 according to lspci -v which states the model as a
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 PCIExpress
I've played around with the configurations in dhcpcd.conf, with unplugging and re-pluging the ethernet cable, unloading and reloading the kernel module, and any other possibly related suggestions I could find in the forums (which I've speant a few days search through).
Any advice?
EDIT: Since I've had this problem I've disabled the [email protected] from systemctl (which was how I origionally was autoconnecting in the old computer) and have just been trying to connect manually.
SOLUTION: needed to register the new MAC address with the IT administrators of the network in order to be whitelisted.

Back up music on computer but Ipod won't sync my music to itunes library

I backed up all of my music on my computer in the "My Music" folder. I did a restore on my ipod. Now itunes won't pick up my music saved to the My Music folder. I've reinstalled Itunes and restored the ipod a few times, but no matter what, it only picks up 300 of my 2009 songs. Please help.

Drag the folder with the music into the open iTunes application window.

I'm trying to authorize my computer but it won't work, I'm signed in and I have only three computers logged in, any help?

How do i authorize my computer when its already signed in?!

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

TS3989 New MacAir but photostream does not work. Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

New computer but Photostream does not work. I am signed into my account but get the following message: In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed. However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine. Any thoughts?

Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.
