Re-authorising computer after TimeMachine restore
I have had to resort to reloading the whole MBP with TimeMachine backups twice now. On each occasion it was necessary to authorise the computer in order to proceed with standard iPhone syncing. It tells me I have used up two of the five allowable computer authorisations - despite it being the self same computer on both occasions.
What happens when I have done my fifth TimeMachine restore? Does the iPhone then become useless?

Trying to re-install Adobe X Pro on same computer after system restore.
I am trying to re-install Adobe X Pro on the same computer after I had to do an entire restore of my computer. I downloaded the file, but when I go to set-up, it says that I don't have the system requirements. This happened when I originally purchased it, but it was because I didn't have the latest Windows updates. I made sure to update yesterday, but I'm still having the same problem. Any help/suggestions/feedback would be great!
Thanks!run the cleaner, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

After TimeMachine restore, cannot re-activate Acrobat Pro 9
My iMac's hard drive crashed last week and after replacement, I restored from a TimeMachine back-up on an external hard drive. The only issues I had were getting Adobe applications (CS4 Web Premium) back up and running. After running the License Repair Tool, I was able to re-activate PhotoShop and Dreamweaver with my serial number. However, when I tried to run Acrobat Pro 9, it would not accept that same serial number the others did.
When I launched the application, I got a dialogue asking for the serial number. When I entered the serial number, a red X displayed to the right. When I clicked the "Next" button, I got an error stating that the serial number was invalid. I double-triple checked the number to insure it was correct, but no dice. HELP!Hi BenjaminLipsman,
Thank You for posting on the forums. Kindly try the steps mentioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-invalid-serial-number-acrobat.html

Fixing iphoto and itunes libraries after timemachine restore
I have corrupted libraries in iphot and itunes after replacing the hard drive and time machine auto backup. I have tried the rebuild process with Iphoto several times. I also have two profiles one started in 2008 with my original macbook purchase and a seperate one in 2009 when I traded in for macbook pro. it seems the archive creted an iphoto library for both profiles and the old profile seems to have an intact library for iphoto but is not up to date on other files and newer content. I think I have to manually recreate but I'm not sure how to do that and I'm not sure if I should maintain both profiles an get the newer one to work through the manual process or delete one.
Itunes is a slightly different issue - i can see and play my library through itunes but my sonos player cannot find/read the files - it did before the drive replacement.
I'm also thinking of upgrading the operating system and also the ilife software - should i fix the issues then upgrade? or upgrade and then manually transfer?
Thanks for any advice!I will request that your query be relocated to the iPhoto forum where knowledgeable iPhoto users will be able to assist you.
In regards to the iTunes issue, please make another query specifically in the iTunes forum.

Check out the article below to troubleshoot your authorization issue within iTunes, you may need to remove the SC Info folder.

Connecting ipod nano after you "restore" your computer
I had to do a restoration on my computer after I was hit with some virus. Unfortunately I forgot to externally save my music files. Therefore, after the restoration on my computer was complete, all my music files were erased. My questions is this…..If I were to now connect my ipod nano to my computer, would it erased all the files I have on my ipod nano since they were erased on the computer during the restoration? What are my options? Any and all help is appreciated.
If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. -
How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.
Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer -
My ipod is now recognized on a new computer after old one crashed. I installed itunes on the new computer, and have painstakenly restored all songs and playlists. I also purchased several new songs from the itunes stores. Now my ipod will not sync with the new computer. I deauthorized all computers, then reauthorozed the new one. My ipod still won't sync.
...after running diagnostics through itunes, itunes says "device not found" Seems there are a lot of others having this problem,and it seems to be related to new version of itunes. Apple should do something to fix this.

How do I Sync my i-touch with my computer after I've restored my computer from a crash?
How do I Sync my i-touch with my computer after I've restored my computer from a crash? I-tunes only wants to erase all my songs and sync to a blank slate
If all your apps and music are in your iTunes library, try to make a backup of the iPod. Right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. Once you have a backup, restore the iPod from thatbackup. If you can't make a backup (or get a backup from the computer backup) you must restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync as necessary.

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?
Leonie,
Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance! So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
I restored from a time machine back up.
History of Failure:
I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured. My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead. I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery. I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured. After that the computer would not turn on. It would try to boot then it would shut off. I even tried to safe boot to no avail. I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up. So thats what I did.
Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open. I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine. I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems.
When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch." I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”." The only option is "Quit"
Both libraries are version 3.2.3
Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
I hope that you may be able to provide some insight. Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!

cannot restore aback up from my computer after a softwared update. i kep getting an error message saying the phoneis disconnected even though it it not.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.
