Synching iPod to new playlist & erasing ALL of the old one

When I click on iTunes I get a screen showing my playlists, but there are no corresponding lists, drop-down boxes or icons allowing me to synch according to the instructions provided in "Help".
For example, there is nowhere "to select your iPod in the Devices section on the left side of the iTunes window". The only box there already shows "music" chosen from the "library" of 4 choices.
The next instruction says in the main iTunes browser window, to select "Music". Then select the option to "Synch Music". However - none of those instructed options are available to me.
Help!

Hi Petermac1,
Based on that information, I think it may be that you need to enable the sidebar to continue. You can do this by following the "Show or hide the Status Bar and Sidebar" section of this article:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Show or hide the Status Bar and Sidebar
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
I hope this helps!
- Ari

I ran out of space on my time machine because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one. So I copied the old one on the new one and in addition to that I own a macbook. So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?

Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much.

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

If I Back Up My IPhone, Does The New Back Up Merge With The Old One

If I Back Up My IPhone, Does The New Back Up Merge With The Old One?

Apple states that it maintains up three of your most recent backups. This should mean that if you back up, you would still have the option to revert to one of your earlier backups. Unfortunately, the only way to know if earlier backups exist is to attempt to restore an iCloud backup and see which ones are shown as being available.

Want to buy a new iPad. Want to have all from the old one. Is a back up from time machine sufficient to reinstall all (programs like keypad etc. included?

How will the new Airport Gigabit improve on the old one?

I need to know if I will get a speed benefit and specifically what and when. Is it worth it for me to get the new one? I've only have the old one for several months. Thanks people !!

noch 'ne Frage? Ewiger Student bin ich auch.
There is no getting around the bottleneck, the fastest possible link between any two devices on a network is the speed of the slowest link. Now, with compression and stuff you can achieve higher effective speeds, but it's pretty much a 'weakest link' affair.
As for Network Utility, mine reports right now: "Link Speed 130 Mb", which is just short for Mbs. Does yours report differently? An aside: when I consider this means that up to 130,000,000 bits of information are transferring between my computer and the base station EVERY SECOND, I never cease to be amazed.
270 Mbs is the theoretical maximum, maybe even possible under ideal conditions, but like many things in the world of computers, a bit misleading. For example: my laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. A 'get info' on the drive reveals a formatted capacity of 111.47 GB, some of which is overhead for the drive to manage its file directory, but the rest of which is often blamed on the fact that a kilobyte is actually 1024 bytes, thus a megabyte is 1024^2 bytes, and so on. Kind of marketing baloney, but it's an industry practice. And in wireless, the total bandwidth is divided among all the clients connected, whereas wired clients running Fast Ethernet through a switch can each get the full speed (of course, there are other things to slow it down).
Hope I am not making it more confusing.
Mit freundlichem Gruss,
T

Activate photoshop in new computer without deactivating in the old one?

Hello,
My old computer is dead and I need to activate photoshop in my new computer without having deactivated in the old one. Do anybody know how to do it?

You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you only ever had the one then there is nothing to keep you from activating a new installation. If you would like to free up the inaccessible activation then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Please can someone help me... Each time I put new pictures on my iPad the old ones disappear

Each time I put new pictures on my iPad through iTunes the old ones disappear. Please can some tell me how I can get them back.
I am using iPad 3rd generation.

Another way to import photos. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
