hi guys, i have a question, hope i'm not doing something wrong here...
well i was wondering if i put all my songs, on itunes, and than transfer to ipod... could i erase all the tunes i have on my computer? i mean, i would love to be able to free the space on my hard drive...
I was wondering if i also remove the songs from my itunes, it would erase the songs on my Ipod as well?
thanks in advance.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.

Seems I have a iClould account but not sure how I got it or how to access it on my iPad. Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.

Seems I have a iCloud account on my iPad but not sure how I got it as I do not remember signing up for this feature. I got an e mail message saying I was running out for space on my iCloud and was given directions on how to find it on my iPad. I followed the directions but there was no iClound anywhere in my iPad settings.
Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.

If your iPad is running iOS 5 or higher, iCloud would be listed in Settings. If you are signed into an iCloud account your iCloud ID would be listed in Settings>iCloud.

I have an apple id for my itunes on my computer not a mac......and want my wife to be able to access the music I purchase on her ipad....but not sure how she can do it when her ipad has her own apple id and it says she would have to use my apple id.....any suggestions?

You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

Your Photoshop CC can be installed on a Mac or PC. Just install the Mac CC Desktop app and install Photoshop CC from there. It will be in your Application folder.

I need to restore a calendar to my iPad. I checked Itunes but the iPad is not listed as I ahave never sync'd it before. I do have iCloud but not sure how to access to sync. Thanks for any help.

Need to find out how to get a calendar back on my iPad. Pretty new to Apple. Only one pf my 5 calendars was deleted. Do have iCloud backup just not sure how to access. iTunes has never been sync'd with iPad. Thanks for any help.

No problem. See the restoring topic of:

HT4113 I have an ipod touch and am locked out. not sure how to reset it

I have an ipod touch and it is disabled and not sure how to enable it. can anyone help?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

TS4009 I have followed the steps above but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock up in top right-hand corner, but not sure how to unlock it.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here and have some questions.

Hi my name is Gary and I am a newbie to Flash player and what it is I can do and not do with it. Actually, I have some time on my hands since I got layed off and I haven't a clue what I am doing and could use some help getting started.
My OS is Windows XP Home SP3, 32 bit I believe.
Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18702 not sure what bit version but I'm thinking 32 but.
Not exactly sure what else I would need to tell you info wise, so please feel free to ask and how I can find this info out.
My main questions are, am I able, is it possible or even allowed to download .FLV files to my hard drive and how do I do it to view at a later time? I can go into details at a later time.
I have read a lot of info and have even downloaded a few .exe files, like FLASH SAVING PLUG-IN for IE8, thinking I was going in the right direction but seems to me nothing is working like I thought it would. I have the button on my toolbar but when I try to save a file things just disapper and I don't know why.
Please HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Z28Gary

How about if I start with this question.
Can anyone recommend a program I can download to download .flv and .swf files to my hard drive?
Thanks

Your description of who you purchased your ipad from seems unnecessary to solve the problem you are having. The password is entered on the lock screen. After a certain number of unsuccessful tries (maybe 10?) you'll be locked out. You'll have to restore the iPad. Since it sounds like you havent really used it, this shouldn't be a problem. Do you know how to do this?

HT1800 how do I install a wireless printer to my iMac that doesn't have a cd drive. It comes with a cd but I can't use it. I have tried to download the driver online but not sure what to do now...

You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the OS 10.8 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
