New Computer... how to copy previous playlists?
I recently purchased a new netbook. I did the windows easy transfer to get all of my files on to the new machine. My music didnt automatically go into my newly downloaded iTunes. I had to >add file. Everything is fine, exept my playlists didnt copy over. I have spent a lot of time creating playlists for my work and would hate to have to create them from scratch. How do I bring that info in?
Thanks!

Did it transfer the library database file? That is what holds playlists, ratings, and other metadata.

I Don't have access to the previous computer on which i installed the photoshop, the m bord is broken and i have a new computer, how can i reinstall on my new comp' with my serial number?
You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that. If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online. You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:

You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well. YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
Thanks in advance for the tips.Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
Get these folders from the XP machine
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
And put them here on the W7 machine
C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
Please helpThe iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
From iTunes: About iOS backups
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key. -
I have a new computer how do I trans my files from my ipod to this new comp
I have a new computer and I want to trans my music to the new computer how do I do this and no I do no have the old computer.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here. -

Hi Jenna, You can download the trial versions from this below URL and use your serial number to activate it.. http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here. html Read the instructions before starting the download.
However, I'm afraid if CS3 is compatible on your new iMac. Adobe has not tested CS3 on New iMac. If it doesn't you can upgrade to CS6 within 31st of December, 2012. Regards,Jairaj

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?
I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?
For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't. The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer. You could e-mail them to yourself. They will not be of the original resolution.
For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

I now have a new computer and want to move my ipod to the new computer how do I disable it on my old computer??
Have you copied your iTunes library over to your new computer? Either way, you'll need to restore the iPod using the new iTunes library in order to sync it with the new library.

Got a new computer how do i carry over Photoshop to new one ?
help please
Simple install the version of PS you are using on the new computer.
If that is the CC version download the Creative Cloud desktop app and log in with your Adobe ID. Once that is done all the apps you have subscribed to will be offered for install.
If it is CS6 or older just get the CD/DVD out and install it. If it is a downloaded version, you have no CD/DVD disc then download that version from the Adobe website and run the installer.
For CS6 or older you will need the license key, serial number, and if that serial number is for an Upgrade version you will need the serial number from a previous version.
Once it is installed on the new computer you can copy over your user presets and other changes you have made to PS like work spaces.
