Sorry if this has aready been asked

But can anyone tell me how
I can transfer all the songs i have in
my ipod into itunes?
Computer crash... itunes library gone...
you know...the usual.
I heard this was possible, but idk how.
Thanks in advance :]

Connect your iPod, if it is set for automatic update you will get the 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 songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

    Sorry if this has already been asked. Just got the newest i-pad had a bit of difficulty getting the charger in and now nothing not charging. HELP

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • My ipad will not connect to wi-fi. I lost it after updating os7. Friend got it to work in CA but coming home to AZ it will not connect. Another thing why are they asking for password when I try to pick location, to my knowledge this has not been asked

    I have a problem with my wi-fi cant get to work, I will pick a server then they ask for a password, to my knowledge this has never been asked in the past/ This happened with I installed OS7. A friend in CA was able to connect but when I returned to AZ I have not been able to setup the Wi-FI.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I'm really sorry if this has already been addressed...iMovie problems

    Hello, I'm new to the forums. I have a problem, and I apologize if it has already been addressed.
    I have a Canon DC-40, which does not have firewire. I love iMovie, and would not even consider using a Windows based movie editor...:) Once I finish my mini DVD on my camcorder, I can burn it onto a DVD so that I can put it inside my iBook G4. The only problem is, if I try to import it, it will start to import than abrubptly stop importing.
    I have come to realize that I need to convert my files to .mov, but my files are in .vob. Is there some good programs out there that will help convert my DVD into a format that iMovie will accept?
    I have tried several things, converting the .vob into .wmv, (I can use windows applications on my mac) with no avail. It's frustrating, I just want to edit some movies! :P
    Any help or even a link to another topic covering this will be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

    Sorry, I just found a thread about my problem! I would delete the post but I can't figure it out yet!

  • I know, this has probably been asked a million times, but....

    I'm working on a website using iWeb and I want to embed a forum on it. I'm currently using a forum supplied by webs.com by embedding the HTML code they gave me on the page (which is what I'm supposed to do with it.)
    Whenever I click on the various board within the forum, however, they open in a new frame, instead of the same frame. I'm not sure how to fix this. It happens in both Firefox and Safari, but a friend of mine says that it works just fine for him in IE. Anyone know how to fix this or where I can get a better forum that is easy to embed and doesn't require an installation on the server side (webs.com doesn't really let you do that....)
    Thanks
    Mike
    null

    Like this:
    Where it says "FORUM GOES HERE" you use the embed code from your forum (actually, you can put anything there, like I did with the News Feed on my Home page www.emceese7en.webs.com/site/home.html)
    You can adjust the size of the box using the width and height in the code (currently at 950x952).
    Sorry it took so long to get back to you! Hope it works out for you. Also, since it turned into a box when I posted the actual code, I had to post it as an image. Sorry about that!

  • Sorry if this has been answered. I did search. Will my pre-subscription software remain usable?

    Sorry if this has been answered>
    Will pre-subscription purchases of Photoshop Extended CS6, CS5.5, and 5, Premier Suite CS5.5, Lightroom 4, Illustrator, Acrobat, Photoshop and Premier Elements, etc remain usable after the subscription expires? I mean, I am nearly 70 now, and at some time I will need to stop the subscriptions, but may wish to continue to "piddle" around with photography, and would like to continue to use the current versions of Adobe software I have purchased to date.
    Thanks,

    Then, Photoshop CS7 for instance will install in a separate directory?…
    No, there will be no Photoshop CS7 at all, ever.  There will be no upgrades to the perpetual license of CS6.  CS6 is the end of the line.  It will continue to work just as it is, as long as your OS suppurts it; but there will be no upgrade versions from it.
    For me it is absolutely the end of the line.  I will not be adopting the CC thing.

    Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks.  If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?!  I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped.  Have any clue what I should do now?

  • Mera, (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view.  This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help?

    I tried to download my pictures with my memory card from my camera (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view, also not saved in my 'Iphotos'  This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help.....anyway of retrieving them?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    did you get a message when trying to import from the memory card?
    did you use a card reader?
    what was you exact workflow for attempting the import?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? See image below:
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Firefox tends to freeze at random and to fix I must use ctrl+alt+del. From there I can restore my previous session when I reopen firefox. This has never been an issue before Firefox 6

    Firefox is giving me issues to where it crashes at supposedly random times. It has frozen up when merely left on but more than often tends to freeze when opening a new page. I have 4GB RAM, 3.00GHz Duel Core processor, 8800 GTX Nvidia GPU. This issue has never been so prominent until the Firefox 6 update.

    Go to''' Tools'''
