T500, bought in Feb this year- how do i upgrade to win7 from vista?
Hi,
I bought a T500 laptop from the University of Pennsylvania comp connection store, this february with Windows Vista preinstalled. It is still under the warrany (I got the 3 year complete warranty with accidental damage included). I would like to upgrade it to Windows 7, and being a student, I can get the$30 student version from Microsoft. If I do tht, ˆ would have to do a clean install, and that would delete all my thinkvantage software. (productivity center, power management.. backup etc. I really like these features and woulld like to have themafter i install win 7 too..
How can I do this? Do i need to get the OS from micrsoft, and then download all the drivers, Or is it possible to order a version from LEnovo, with all the necessary drivers and software installed?

There are two ways to get photos and videos on your iPod:
- The can by synced to the iPod using the Photos pane in iTunes. Thises photos and video aenot port of the backup that iTunes makes when you sync.
- The other way is to take photos and videos with the iPod's camera (4G only) or to save like screeen shots or aved email attachments. This type of photos and videos are includd n the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup will retore those photos and video to the iPod up until the time the backup was made. Just make sure that you have auto-syncing turned off in iTunes otherwise iTunes will make a backup and overwite the old one. Do this by checking the box titled "Prevent iPods...syncing" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. -
My itouch is synced to the itunes in my compaq laptop.However,I have bought a new vaio laptop.How to I transfer mt itunes from one laptop to another? Please help me!
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

I just bought a new Nano. How do I tranfer the songs from my Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?
DaisyDoodle,
The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library. That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

BillConnect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

HT1444 how can I upgrade my macbook from 10.5.8 version to the latest version
how can I upgrade my macbook from OS X 10.5.8 version to the latest version?
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

How do I upgrade my software from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 for my iPhone 4s
I have a new iPhone 4S but can't upload to iTunes, I've found it it's due to my software upgrade but don't know how to do this? How do I upgrade my software? I keep getting lost on Apple website. Help!
Yes. Your Mac can be upgraded to Leopard but I would recommend that you upgrade to Snow Leopard instead. It will actually be cheaper. Just buy the install DVD for Snow Leopard for $29.
Then you can upgrade to iTunes 10.5.3.

How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?
How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion? I'm guessing I have to first purchase Snow Leopard? Is there anyway to download or upgrade online?
First, determine how high you can upgrade.
SL requires an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Lion requires Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
Mountain Lion has higher requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Also review applications that do not work under Lion or ML to see if you will lose critical functionality: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Research first, as too many have discovered only after the upgrade that things are lost to them.
You can buy SL or Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE. SL is a disk ($19 single disk license, $29 for 5-user license). Lion will be a $19 download code to use in App Store that you get with SL. -
