Pre-order Ready. . . . Home Computer not so much . . .. solutions?

So I have had a major data loss on my home computer. I have a old backup from a year ago but a loaded Ipod. I read some discussions about getting that back either by using the Ipod and a 3rd party program or with just the ipod but losing the playlist/rating/playcount info. But I have a new issue. I have a pre-order waiting for me but no place to download it. Patience is not a virtue of mine. So is it best to load itunes elsewhere and authorize my account download it and burn a copy? Later using that on the home computer? I realize I cannot add this to the current ipod without sacrificing everything else on there. So what do you think? Would appreciate any input on the reload to the computer as well, like which 3rd party program to ensure my library contains all the data on it. Thanks!

Try to play around with the router’s wireless settings. Use this tool: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to select the best channel that you can use on your router. You can also change the router’s Advanced Wireless Settings with these settings: beacon 50; dtim 3, frag 2304, rts 2305. Make sure to place the router in an elevated area and don’t place router on a metallic or glass surface in order for you to get a stronger signal from the router. If the router’s performance does not improve then you might consider getting a wireless extender or return the router and have it replaced.

When I start iTunes on my home computer (Not a MAC), it automatically shuts down, and gives me the message that the Data Execution Prevention security feature has shut it down...what to do?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Web hosting on home computer not responding (sometimes)

Using iWeb I published my personal website to my home computer, an iMac with i3 processor. Sometimes it works fine, but other times the website fails to open' because the server where this page is located isn’t responding,' I figure this is probably because the computer is sleeping at the time, even though I set the Energy Saver in Preferences to 'Wake for Network Access'. Is this an inherent problem with web hosting on a personal computer, or a fixable problem? Hosting on one's own computer seems like a great idea, no size limits, no ads on 'free' hosting sites, but this is a drag.

You're using "client think" and not "server think".
Servers do not sleep.
Technically, various servers can and do power down some system components, but web-facing servers are almost never configured to go into a low-power sleep state.
Most servers aren't usually receiving nor expecting a WoL packet from remote (off-LAN) clients, nor should there be a way for a remote client to explicitly send a WoL to a server that's configured for WoL.
Yes, you can see server farms using WoL within the farm, but that's typically in response to an increase in server load and the actions of internal server and network processing. If the load is spiking, toss a few WoL packets and spool up another server or two. And you can and usually do see solutions akin to the Xserve Lights-Out Management (LOM) board or an HP iLO management processor, and where the server is shut down, but the management processor remains awake and active.
And I would disagree with the degree of certainty expressed by etresoft here. There can be reasons to run local servers. Yes, that's not typical, and yes, there can be good deals with hosted services, and yes, the connections can be bandwidth-limited. But there can be reasons for some individuals and organizations to host locally.

Pre-order purchased but not downloaded; no pre-order email and purchases not on cloud. Help?

I purchased a pre-order for an album back in September, with a release date of Oct. 29. On Oct. 29, the album was displayed as "purchased" on the iTunes Store yet it did not download. I did not receive a pre-order email and the purchase was not on the cloud.

I have the same problem :(
Really wish someone would help

Gwen Stefani Pre-Order single automatic download not working

Gwen Stefani Pre-Order offers to download a single track now and then the rest later when the album is released.
Ordered the pre-order but the track didnt download.
Now on my THIRD reply to try and get apple support to understand what is happening, so far I have a one track credit and told to download the song...only problem...its a pre-order you cannot download the song.
Why do apple employ people in iTunes support that dont know how iTunes works?
Why am I on my THIRD reply to explain the same problem?
Why am I wasting my time?
Exaspirated at having to fight apple these days, maybe i'll go back to microsoft, it all seems to be much of a muchness at times!
As you can tell this latest problem is only the tip of the iceberg in recent months and its beginning to wear me down.

Support appear to have gone into a huddle and promised me a reply once they sort it out.
Guess we arent the only ones to complain.
Maybe as this is the international version someone lazily copied the US version of the page and didnt notice that bit of text with the promise and therefore it was never setup in the UK store or elsewhere?
Just a hunch

My Pre Order for Boarderlands Was not Available in Store

I have a problem and I hope you can help. I pre-ordered the game Borderlands the Handsome Collection for PS4. When I went into the store to pick it up today, I was told they did not have one for me. The manager told me to have my preorder canceled and to just buy another copy when they're available. I asked them if I did that would I lose my $10 preorder bonus and he had no answer. I haven't canceled the order yet, but don't I only have a certain amount of time to pick it up or I lose the preorder bonus? Is there anything you can help me with on this problem.

Hi there velvetfog,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your order for Borderlands: The Handsome Collection! I'm sorry to hear your original visit to the store wasn't what you expected, as it seems your copy fell out of sight. I'm glad to hear that the store located your copy and was able to contact you to pick it up. with that said, it doesn't appear that this title qualified for the $10 bonus certificate. I apologize if this is at all disappointing for you to find. If you should have any questions, please let me know!

What exactly is the relevant forum for this?
I provided a link to the Desktop iMac forum for starters.
Or make it more specific and search for : Apache Webserver

Tried to pre-order an album but not working. Please help!!!

I tried to pre-order an album. It was one that came with a song that downloaded immedietly. I clicked pre-order and it said some error and to try again. I went to and realized I was charged for that one song that you can get first. So i thought it went ahead and pre-ordered the album anyway. I looked in my purchased history and saw nothing about the album or that one song, so it charged me for nothing! Any ideas how i can fix this?

I couldn't find an answer so i just emailed iTunes support and they fixed it for me. Thanks anyway!!!!

I had a free trial of Adobe CC on my mac at home, which I since uninstalled
. Later, I purchased on the PC I use at work with a Different email address than home. I have not been able to install at home. When I log in the email address is preprinted and I cannot change it to the other one that I used when I made the purchase. Also the time for the email that was sent when I joined has expired. I tried changing the email and password at home and have only been able to get access to another free trial.

How do you download your pre-order when it's not letting you ?

Please helpppppp :)))))))) I need it :) it's 1D so I need help fast :) it's not letting me download my pre-order

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

When you pre order a new phone (Note 4), and mail back the old phone (Note 3), on an Edge upgrade, do you get a trade in credit?

Will I get credit for the $215 that they say my Note 3 is worth once they receive it in the mail?

The fact they let you upgrade before the phone is paid off is your credit.

Itunes Movie pre-orders - NOT WORKING

I purchased SALT via Pre-order. I was finally able to get it to download, but was charged the full price and not the pre-order price. I also pre-ordered Resident Evil and the links do not work to download my order.
I am able to log into the store and down load other items, so it is not an issue with my account, connection, login, or permissions on my mac.
Any ideas? I see others are having similar issues with other pre-orders as well.

I was having the same problem and only just now I went into iTunes, then the iTunes Store and selected 'Account' in the Quick Links menu on the right-hand side, it popped up and asked me to re-login, so I did and low and behold I got a pop-up message stating that I had pre-orders ready for download and if I wished to download them now to click "Ok", so I did and my stalled pre-orders came to life and started downloading... wish Apple could improve on this but now I'm happier they're downloading

Confirmed Pre-order (home delivery) + Apple store reservation

I am eligible for upgrade & was lucky enough to get both a confirmed Pre-order w/ home delivery & a confirmed reservation at the local Apple store - my question is, Can I get them both at the $299 price OR will the instore reservation @ Apple see that I have already paid the discounted price for my home delivery?
I originally did this becuase of all the issues, i wasn't 100% sure that things had went through smoothly (mostly becuase they went TOO smooth - I was done w/ both processes in under 5 minutes).
If I could get a 2nd phone at discounted price, I'd likely sell it. If I can't, does anyone know if I can give my reserved phone @ the store to someone else? Do I have to wait in line & get the phone only to hand it off to someone else for activation OR could I just send someone else w/ my e-mail confirmation of the reservation?

It all depends on if they check the ATT system again or not. I ordered for Apple delivery, but ATT knows that. I'm assuming when you go in the store, they check your ATT account once more, since they ask for your information to confirm what price you qualify for.
I suppose you can try it and see, but I wouldn't count on it.

HT5714 Pre-Orders are not downloading for days at a time?

Only just now I decided to try something else and so went into iTunes, then the iTunes Store and selected 'Account' in the Quick Links menu on the right-hand side, it popped up and asked me to re-login, so I did and low and behold I got a pop-up message stating that I had pre-orders ready for download and if I wished to download them now to click "Ok", so I did and my stalled pre-orders came to life and started downloading... wish Apple could improve on this but now I'm happier they're downloading
