Switching - Apple crashed, would like to switch I-Pod w/songs to Dell
Hello, I hope someone can help direct me on this.
A few months ago my old Apple G-4 went down. Since I only used it for I-Pod/I-Tunes, it's not worth fixing to me.
I love the I-Pod and all my 1,900 songs are stored on it. This is my second I-Pod and I orig. received the firt one when they initially came out.
I have new Dell Precision M654 laptop for work and would like to switch my I-Pod to this. BUT I'd like to import the songs from the I-Pod to the Dell. Since I've had I-Pods for so long, I don't have the CD's anymore.
I called my local LV Apple store, explained the situation and they said the directions were on Apple.com/support to do this. I can't seem to find them and I've been looking for hours.
Does anyone have any suggestion or can offer assistance/directions to do this? I'm really at a loss and don't want to lose all my songs.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

If your iPod is Windows formatted, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows 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. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

I moved and would like to switch my skype number to the new area code, is this possible?
Yes.
You may have to call into Verizon Customer care if you have a smartphone to remove the data plan and help you move over. Other than that it's a simple swap between devices. Contract doesn't matter unless you negligent in payment(or the person who you bought the device from is). -

But unlocked phones don't have a contract to begin with. If you purchased a phone with a contract, it is not unlocked. -
I currently have a basic phone but I would like to switch to a smart phone. I don't have an upgrade right now and none of the other phones on the plan have an upgrade either (4 phones in total, 2 smart phones and 2 basic). Is it possible to get a phone from a 3rd party, instead of buying a phone from Verizon at full price, to switch with the basic phone?
i have a basic prepaid phone and was given a samsung android verizon gave me several options from going to a contract or doing prepaid or month to month even got a free sim card

Hi, Robert here, I moved to US from Singapore and I would like to switch itunes so I can purchase a book but I don's know how? Please help!
I believe you mean to say that you wish to switch which country's iTunes Store you are accessing. Go to iTunes Store > Change Country (all the way at the bottom) to do this. You'll have to use up all of your iTunes balance to do this. Post back if this is not what you wanted to do.

I have disable my Iphone5 I would like to switch it on but i dont want to recover it an lose my photos, is there a way i can check when last it was backed up
You will find out when you restore it. You don't have a choice but to restore at this point. You will lose any that were not already backed up. You can't back it up after it's been disabled.

I am a subscriber Apple I would like to know the questions to my own Babylon.I forgot Questions.
<Email Edited by Host>We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address and password from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum, especially not your id and password). You should change your password IMMEDIATELY.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?
Hi,
Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.
