New here but in need of a bit of help....

Good evening,
my problem is basically the amount of duplicates i have in my library and the fact that i am unable to delete them properly. My whole library seems to be duplicated at least once sometimes twice.... and i was hoping there might be a program or technique to organise the library instead of going through the whole thing one by one?
After owning a 1st gen Nano for many years i have just purchased a touch and want to get it loaded up. However after a hard drive crash and then a recovery disc upload, another nano being synced etc etc my library is a real jumble!
please help! many thanks, ben

Do you know about the Show Duplicates feature?
Also, sorting by the Date Added will often group things together, for instance if you dragged a whole folder into itunes one day and it made many of the duplicates happen - they will all be grouped together for easier deletion

Hello, welcome to apple support community! Your problem I'd very odd and im sure it is very rare, I'm not very sure what a good solution might be. Maybe you can consult the nearest Apple Store or call apple technical support. If it is a problem with ur iPhone than apple can fix it. If nothing works I think u Gould change carriers that fully support the iPhone.

I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

The designer is usually someone who just handles the user interface portion of the code. The developer would handle core functionality. I assumed you were the developer and the designer was the designer. You are the client and your "designer" is the developer.
Ideally, you should create a business account so that you can add someone to your team. That is the way it is supposed to work. Otherwise, you will have to ask for the final source code so that you can build and submit the app yourself. You should always have the source code regardless. You should always perform the submission under your own account too. Otherwise, it is the developer's app, not yours.
Sharing accounts is against the Apple Developer agreement anyway. The App Store Gold Rush is over. Now it is mostly zombie apps and competing fraudsters. You don't want to give someone access to your iTunes account. You really don't want to give someone access to your bank account either.
The best solution would be to convert your account to a business account. You may be able to have the developer submit the app and then transfer it to you.

You have to import the video to your computer by connecting the iPad with cable and then using iPhoto if you have a Mac or Windows Explorer or any other camera application that will import photos and videos. Read this for instructions.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from ... - Support - Apple
Make sure that you backup and sync with iTunes as well, if You have never synced with iTunes before, it might just be easier for you to backup with iCloud. You can restore from the backup when you get the replacement iPad.

The phone answered this for me - when I connected the iPhone5 to my computer it gave me a choice which included "restore from backup". Problem solved

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

I don't know if this update involved rewwriting the entire operating system whereby you essentially transferred the software from one system to another, but if so, then you need to uninstall and reinstall the software and reactivate it using your serial number.

I have a licence for CS design stand 4, but I need to reinstall, can you help?

I need a new Macbook but -.I need advice regarding the new fixed configurations

I have a MacBook from 2007 and it probably needs replacing as I'm starting to see problems, little hints that any day it might completely stop working. I was ready to buy a new computer but after reading about the new MacBook Pros, it seems like Apple has forgotten its roots.
Let's say you get 8 GB of RAM which is probably enough for my purposes( but I'm still not sure, I might get 16 though its very expensive) and there is a problem with the RAM. Do you really have to replace the entire logic board and what are we talking in terms of parts and labor assuming you are out of warranty? This happened to my current Macbook and it was very cheap because I was able to snap new chips in but everything is soldered on the new Macbooks and I don't want to buy a computer that I might be throwing away in 2 years.
The same questrion applies in regard to the CPU. If it fails, is this going to be a huge repair bill?
Another major concern regards complaints from dissapointed customers who are unhappy with the glare of the screen. As I have eye problems, this could be a big issue for me.
Finally, but less of a problem, Its disappointing that you need to purchase an ethernet adaptor and have to buy an external CD/DVD drive. People look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about CD drives, but I listen to a lot of classical music which you cannot get on the net, and, even if you can, it is of low quality. You have to go to a store like Amoeba to find the CD. Not a huge deal, but a bit annoying and these little things add up.
I'm starting to think I may have to take a look at PC's, something, I never thought I'd do again.

I'd recommend 8 GB RAM, based upon all the information available today it should be sufficient for a very long time. OS X "Mavericks" uses system resources extremely efficiently and the MBP's flash memory goes a long way toward masking a paucity of RAM. Apple claimed that Mavericks' new memory compression algorithm results in an effective increase of 50% more memory than what is actually installed, a claim that I have empirically determined to be accurate, perhaps a bit conservative. In other words 8 GB memory will perform as if 12 GB were actually installed, if not for OS X's memory compression algorithm. Even 4 GB is sufficient for Mavericks whereas it was barely adequate for Mountain Lion.
If you were to ask an iPad or iPhone owner how much memory it has, and if they actually understood what you were asking, most would not know, or care. Nor should they. Such is the future of the Mac product line.
The same questrion applies in regard to the CPU. If it fails, is this going to be a huge repair bill?
It certainly will. Fortunately I have never heard of a single case in which a Mac's CPU has failed.
Another major concern regards complaints from dissapointed customers who are unhappy with the glare of the screen.
All you can do is try it for yourself. Matte screens have disadvantages too. If you don't like your MBP, return it for a full refund, no questions asked. You have 14 days to decide.
Classical music used to been a challenge to find on iTunes, but Apple has been getting better. You can still buy an external CD drive to import your music; they're not terribly expensive.
Any computer design is a study in compromises and an optical drive simply isn't worth the tradeoffs. People howled about Apple's decision to eliminate floppy disk drives too, even as they were ridiculed for originally promoting the 3 1/2" floppy disk format. What Apple creates, Apple destroys, lest someone else do it for them.
In any event optical discs are antiquated and obsolete, so get used to the idea.
I'm starting to think I may have to take a look at PC's, something, I never thought I'd do again.
Choice is good. Knock yourself out.

Need new iMac but also need iweb

I want to buy a new mac but need iweb which isn't available in lion. Could I use the restore cd that came with my 5 year old mac mini and only install the ilife software and if so, would it replace the ilife that came installed on the new imac?

Buy the iLife boxed set that still includes iWeb. You won't be able to use five year old software on a new iMac.

HT4993 I buy in ebay the new iphone 5S sprint but i need the phone unlock please help me

I buy in ebay the iphone 5S sprint new but i need the phone unlock help me please

A Sprint iPhone can only be used with Sprint. It cannot be unlocked, except by Sprint. And they will only unlock it for use outside of the US, and only if you are a Sprint customer. The phone is useless to you if you don't want to use it with Sprint. Return it for a refund.

I have a new ipod but it needs itunes 7 but im on 10.2.8

i have just bought a new ipod and it needs i tunes 7 to run, only thing is i tunes 7 only runs on 10.3.8 or higher. the problem i have is i am running on 10.2.8. why should i have to pay for a new operating system!!!

It appears that you should have checked the specs required before purchasing if you don't want to update your OSX.
At the end of the day you have several options - return the iPod for a credit/refund or update to at least OSX 10.3.8. There are retailers selling OSX 10.3 at a discount over the original retail price.
