So many issues - family of 5, i am using my wifes apple id on my iPhone, my daughter is using my apple id on touch, i need to get all iTunes content off an old PC onto new imac and i just got iphone 5 and want to be able to have evreything work - help!

5 plus years ago my wife had the only Apple ID and as a family we all used her Itunes account to buy and listen to music. A couple years later, I (husband) bought my first iPhone - the only iDevice in the household. When I set that iphone up, I used the wife's apple ID as I wanted access to all of the itunes music we had as a family. So now years later, all of my Apps etc have been purchased via the Wife's Apple ID. To make matters worse for my situation, my 10 yr old daughter got an iTouch for Christmas and i decided to use my actual (husband) Apple ID as daughter is a minor and I felt I could manage her iTouch Apps content that way. We have just recently bought our first iMac and I had yet to understand or get to work the iCloud or the Home Sharing of iTunes. To make matters worse, I have never synched my 3G iphone because of the whole Apple ID issue. I should also mention that the primary 'authorized' computer for my wife's itunes account is an old PC that we almost never use anymore as it runs soooo slow. So I am left to wonder how to go about making the transition to get the old PC 'deauthorized' after I somehow transfer all itunes files from the old PC to the new iMac. I now have the new iPhone5 and i REALLY want to get to the point where i have my iphone on my apple id and my wife has her apple id (no iphone for her yet - probably coming soon though). On the new iMac i have created a login for me and one for my wife. I was able to login to itunes on her imac login and i was able to set up iCloud. it works! - but now my calendar, contacts, photos, etc are on her profile login of the iMac! HELP me PLEASE!!

Your Apple ID should not be causing problems with your browser. If you describe the problems you are having we might be able to help with those.

HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer. The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer. The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
... The PC she synced with is dead
The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there. How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer

I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there. How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer so i can put all the music on my new one.
The guy at att told me that icloud would sync everything i had in my notes, calendar, and text messages to my new phone, but it only synced some of my notes, none of my messages, or calendar info.

Your music will only be where you put it. It will not magically appear on a new computer.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
If for some reason you cannot do this, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an iphone: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload itunes purchases from icloud in some countires:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you do not have access to your old PC/Laptop and therefore cannot transfer your iTunes library, this document is very useful https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 All in One and to use the "Fax"feature I need a phone port on computer and of course, this computer does not have one. Are there any aftermarket devices for USB to phone that would work in this case?

I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli

You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

If you ever registered it with adobe, you can get your serial number by going to the main page of adobe.com and looking for My Adobe. Work through the links there and you can retrieve your serial number from your adobe store account.

Bought New iMac and want to move Music from PC

I just bought my new imac and it will run all my music. I had done a lot of work on rankings and such, so i do not want to lose that info.
I ad saved all my music on a secondary drive and I know copied it all to the iTunes folder. How do I copy the Library info and the playlists? Also how will the ratings come over? I read a few articles and they dont answer the question very easily/ Pls help

If all of your music is located inside the iTunes Library folder, move it(not just the iTunes Music folder) to the item in the Finder's sidebar named Music on the Mac. That folder encloses the iTunes Music folder by default.

Trying to migrate my old FCE my new iMac and OS

I'm trying to remove my Final Cut and serial from my old iMac and onto my new one. I drug the application to a drive from the application folder and went to drag it to my new application folder but receive a message claiming the version might not work with the new OS. Is there a way around this? An update/newdownload etc.

Both Final Cut Express and Final Cut Studio were discontinued in 2011 (even before Lion was released) and are no longer supported. Mavericks is 2 generations past Lion. No guarantees that either FCE or FCP will run, or run properly, on Mavericks.
With pro apps like Final Cut, you cannot just copy the application file from one Mac to another - it won't work. While it is possible to use Migration Assistant, that also does not work consistently well when you are migrating pro apps. With all the pro apps it is far better to install from scratch.

Transferring music from old ipod and old comp onto new ipod and new comp

I just got a new video ipod and an Ibook g4 and I need to transfer my music from my old computer and old ipod onto the new ones how can I do it? I read the tutorial on how to transfer the library from computer to computer but won't this sync my old ipod with my new computer leaving my new ipod out? HELP!!

your AppleID is like your SSI# you cannot transfer infromation from one to the other. what ever you purchased under the old AppleID is linked to that ID only.

Just got a new imac, my email set up fine on it, but I need to get the email folders from comcast transferred to the new imac...how do I do this?

How do I transfer my email folders on comcast over to my new imac? I am getting email but need the folders which have all my old/saved items.

BTW if this is your first Mac or you're not familiar with how to create folders and rules I'd recommend watching the following Mail tutorials:

Getting my iTunes library fully from old laptop to new one.

I have an old ibook G4 (Ver. 10.4.11)(not intel) and just got MacBook Air (Ver. 10.9.2). I want to transfer my iTunes all the way onto the new computer without having to hassle with sharing and turning the old laptop on. Can I transfer my iTunes library easily? I suck at tech. but am good at following directions.

Theoretically Migration Assistant should move everything, but that's a big jump.
For just iTunes:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the first link above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media (you really do need to transfer the whole library in your situation).
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

How do i get all the content of my iPod on a new itunes.

My old computer died on me and i bought a new laptop.
I downloaded the newest iTunes (10.1.1) on it, so now i have a new iTunes and it's not accepting my iPod. I don't want to synchronise my iPod to the new iTunes for in that case i will loose everything on my iPod.
There must be a way to put everything i have on my iPod into my new iTunes, right?? Otherwise i will lose over 25GB in music.....
Could someone pleace help me?

Probably a bit late to help in this thread, but the question is asked & answered frequently.
*Recover media from iPod*
See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
Some of the tools linked to will only work if the iPod has a valid library. Others can scan the drive independently and some may even be able to rebuild a damaged library. The manual method towards the end should be able to recover your media regardless of the state of the library.
