PowerBook was stolen! What now!? Please help!

My beloved G4 PowerBook was recently stolen and with it all of the 600+ songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes music store. However, I still have my iPod mini containing all of the songs and the installation CD that came with it. My question is this:
If I purchase a new MacBook to replace my PowerBook and install the iPod mini's software onto the new computer, will I be able to transfer the music that is currently on my iPod mini to the new computer?
Right now my iPod's battery is completely depleted and I have no means of charging it. It would quite upsetting (to say the very least) if my music was trapped on an iPod that I can no longer charge.
Any help with this matter would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I visited the VersionTracker web site and there appear to be several utilities that I could use to transfer the mp3 files to my new Macbook. Do you have any recommendations? PodWorks 2.8.5 seems to be what I'm looking for.
I've used PodWorks and it seems to work quite well, but I'm sure there are other utilities that would also work.
Do I need to install the iPod mini's software onto my new Macbook BEFORE using PodWorks or a similar utility?
All you need is iTunes, which will come pre-installed on any new Mac. So you don't need to install anything at all other than PodWorks or whatever other utility you choose.
Again, when you connect your iPod, don't let it synchronize to the blank iTunes library. To be sure of preventing this, while connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys on the Mac. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to run the transfer utility.
Good luck.

My itouch was stolen what now?

so i lent the itouch to my son and it was stolen? how can i wipe the data base from home computer?

IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself and it is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored then you can go to icloud.com and wipe it/loacte it.
Otherwise, there is nothing you can do beyond reporting to police and changin your passwords.

My phone was stolen and now I am trying to load everything from my Itunes on my Computer. It keeps asking for a passcode? I don't know what they want??

Can you help me get all my previous information from Itunes onto my new IPhone?
My other one was stolen and now I can't transfer my pictures and music. It keeps asking for a passcode? I have tried my apple passcode, my phone code...What does it want?

If iTunes is asking for a password to restore from an iTunes backup, then yes, you did set one up. You must have selected 'Encrypt iPhone Backup' when you created the backup. If you don't remember the password, then you'll have to restore the device as new.

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

My Iphone was stolen - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Can you help me ?

Hi! My iPhone was stolen - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Who can you help me? Maybe you have an idea? Please - help me. Iphone was stolen in my office (it my client, but I do not know who).

The only way to track your phone is if you had find my iphone installed and activated, then you go to icloud.com log in and track your phone.
If you didn't set it up then there no way to track it.
Not sure what facetime has to do with your stolen phone.

If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.

Send it back, as you won't be able to activate a Sprint iPhone in India, nor will you be able to get the sim slot unlocked since you're not a Sprint customer. Your parents bought the wrong iPhone.

In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contact to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contacts to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone?

If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

Please tell us what kind of computer you have, what operating system and what version of iTunes. Not just "the latest version of iTunes", the exact version number.

I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

The way I resolved this issue was to create a dual boot Mac, so that I am able to boot from either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Running Vectorworks in a virtual machine just didn’t cut it.
I had already upgraded to Mavericks, which meant that trying to install OS 10.8.5 as a second operating system produced the error message saying it cannot be installed on this computer.
First, if you need a copy of Mountain Lion installer and you has previously purchased it, open the App Store app, press the option key and then click on the purchases tab. You will see a list of all downloaded software from Apple and you can download OS 10.8.5 again without paying for it a second time. If you had previously created a boot disk of Mountain Lion, which I had not, you can obviously skip this step and the next.
You will need a boot disk for Mountain Lion. After downloading the Mountain Lion installer, the easiest way to create a boot disk is to use a slick little app called DiskMaker X, which you can get here: http://liondiskmaker.com Next you will need a USB flash drive of at least 8GB in size. Install and run DiskMaker X, plug in your flash drive, and follow the prompts. In just a few clicks, your boot drive will be easily created.
Next, you will need to add a partition on your startup drive on which you will install Mountain Lion. Here is the procedure for creating the new partition: http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilitysize.htm You can find this at Apple support, but this site gives you additional procedures that may be helpful. I set my new partition at 50 GB, but you can do with less is you don’t have the space.
With those two operations done, and your OS 10.8.5 boot drive plugged in, restart you Mac and press the option key after you hear the chime. You will be asked which drive you wish to start from- select the boot drive. After your Mac boots up, you will see several options- choose install Mountain Lion (actually I think the option is reinstall Mountain Lion).
After completing the OS install, install your copy of Vectorworks, copy and move whatever files you need to from Mavericks, and you are in business. To boot from either OS, simply press the option key and select OS 10.8.5 when you need to work in Vectorkorks, or OS 10.9 for all your other tasks. Switching back and forth isn’t as advantageous as otherwise, but it is the best way to run Vectorworks without upgrading for the $1,500 or so that would be required otherwise.

If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Then contact the police, giving them any location information you get.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.
