Switched from vista to W7 and can't locate my audiobook files in iTunes. help

My Vista os crashed, and I'm now using Windows 7 on the same desktop computer. I am not a teenager, considerably older!, and thus technology is not intuitive. I had backed up my files before the crash, and had music, but mostly audiobooks in my iTunes file. Now that I'm in Windows 7, and have downloaded iTunes again, how do I get to my old iTunes files? please help.

I'm suspecting that you're not using iPhoto properly.
1) Create a temporary folder on the desktop and put the pics there.
2) Open iPhoto and use the "Import" function to access the photos.

I downloaded a video from a piano site I can not find the downloaded file/ video please help me

I Downloaded a video from a piano site can not locate where the video is please help me

You will need to download a third party app in order to play Movies that are not from the iTunes Store or synced from your computer. I know absolutely nothing about any of these, so you will have to do your own research.

When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.

New user - switched from PC to Mac and can't figure out some mail issues

I looked at the software discussions and they didn't have one for something as simple as mail! I've also checked mail help and the online support and Switch 101 and Mac 101. All of them tell me I can do something but not how in very simple steps.
In the Apple store they were using all this fancy stationery for e-mail. Even my e-mail program looks different from the one in Mac 101.
I want to do 2 things. Use stationery and write those little "to-do" notes and I can't figure out how. On Mac 101 it shows a message and right below the address lines is a box with stationery menus, like birthdays, invitations etc. I don't have that box. I have the address lines and then jut the place where you write the e-mail. No stationery, no notes.
Thanks,
Susan

I am on a new message. There is no photo browser (I'd do a screen shot if I knew how but I only know how to do that on a PC).
On a new mail message (I went to file and clicked new message) I have the 3 dots in the left corner (to close, minimize, etc) and under that some icons (send, chat, attach, address colors, save as draft). The the To: line, the CC: line, the Subject: line and account line (next to the account line i have a drop down box to customize) Then the body of the e-mail that I type in. Thats it, no stationary, no photo browser.
Again my mail program is 2.1.1 and from my serching it seems that 3.0 is the latest mail program. I clicked the little apple in the left upper corner of my mail program and had it search for updates but it said there were none.
This is so frustrating to buy a new computer with old software. I'm guessing I have leopard but I have no idea how to see what version of the OS I have. Again I bought this thing on Friday, 3 days ago.

I switched from vista and lost all my music and stuff I can't get it back nor can i get all my purchesed items back. Is there anyway I can??

I really need this fixed its driving me crazy. I wish iTunes had a way of taking all the songs from the iPod and just downloading them to the itunes without having to delete all that is on there. I really want my Purchesed Items back. I wasted probably over 100$ on this....

Okay, doing my best to ignore the EXTREMELY annoying font you chose to use.
Is there a reason why you did not create a backup of your media and other important files before switching from Vista?
It is the users responsibility to back up their media, it is NOT Apple's responsibility.
When you purchase CD's or DVD's, if you lose them, you repurchase them. Same deal with digital media.
If you have a backup of your media, simply copy the files from the backup to your computer.
If you still have access to your old computer, simply copy the files from it to your new computer.

Switched from DSL to cable and now can't find apple tv in itunesdevice list

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now for whatever reason I cannot find my apple tv in the itunes device list on my desktop computer. If I use another laptop through the same wireless router I can see the apple tv no problem. My apple tv can see my wireless router and connect to the internet and watch youtube/trailers/etc.
I have tried restoring the apple tv, and have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes on the desktop. I also reset the wireless router...none of the above seem to work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this has been crazy frustrating...thanks in advance.

If you have an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule, you need to use the AirPort utility to access it. Otherwise, your router has a control panel that you can access by entering the router's IP address into your web browser. You'll have to check your router's documentation for the default login name and password, but it's often admin admin or root root (which is why you should at least change the password as soon as possible).

I have iWeb '08 and just switched from Mobileme to GoDaddy and using Filezilla. Now when I make changes through iWeb it doesn't actually publish to my desktop folder. In fact, it doesn't publish at all but says that it did.

I have iWeb '08 and just switched from Mobileme to GoDaddy and using Filezilla. I also just upgraded to Lion. Now when I make changes through iWeb it doesn't actually publish to my desktop folder. In fact, it doesn't publish at all but says that it did. How can I make changes in iWeb and publish to a folder?

Choose the destination in the publish settings page as shown in the second example on this page...

I am getting message from MacPro that my start up disc is full - but I can't find this "start up disc" and can't figure out what to do to help situation. I've been making a number of imovies, which generates junk files and material that I should toss in the trash, but it is not clear to me what items I can toss and which items I can't toss. Can you help? Using the imovie "help" support the system showed me under the menu item "go" where the "start up disc" should be - but that wasn't actually available on my menu! Thanks for your help!

Just recieved an unlocked iphone 3 from a family member and can't get it to restore it because of an error message

Just receive an unlocked 3gs iphone from a family member and can't unlock the screen. Can't restore iphone because of error message.Now what do I do?

What do you mean by unlock the screen? Is there a passcode set on the iPhone? If so and this is from a family member, can that family member give you the passcode? If it has been forgotten then you must retore from recovery mode per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software. I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks
