The laptop I had my itunes account on is no longer available for my use. My iphone was backed up to that laptop. Is there any way to back up to another computer?

I had my iTunes on my work issued laptop and it crashed. I still have the laptop, but everything that was on it has been cleared out. I am now using my home PC for itunes, which is an older version and has the contents of an old ipod from years ago. I am afraid if I hook up my iphone to this PC, I will lose everything on my phone and only have the contents of the old ipod shuffle. What do I need to do to back up my iphone to the home PC and start using it as my main source? Can I keep everything on my phone and create a backup to the PC or am I just out of luck??

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music.  Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated.  Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
    You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime.  This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well.  The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

  • I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can create my own ringtones as I had done in the past? Thank you.

    I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can make my own ringtones? I have always done so in the past (Android). I much prefer to hear my songs when someone calls. Thank you.   

    I have tried to follow all the steps correctly. I presently have on itunes 2 entries:
    1. song.m4r with this highlighted on info screen but song location.m4a on summary screen. I have enetered "OK" several times.
    2. song no suffix on info screen but song location .m4r.mp3 on summary screen
      After syncing I then go a contact and edit it. Trying to change ringtone does not give me an option for the ringtone that I created only those that were preloaded. Is there something that I need to do here? The ringtone (at least one of them) does appear in my song  list and I can play it. I don't know how to check for its properties on the iphone.
    I do not have an itunes created entry on the sidebar for ringtones (I did create a playlist myself).

  • I have an iTunes account with my own music library.  My wife wants to have her own music library.  Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

    Was the content not synced with a computer previously?  If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.

  • I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

    I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried  to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

    I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
    What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
    Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

  • My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M.  Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing.  Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

    My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M.  Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing.  Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

    That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
    Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

    Put the device back into discovery mode and the iPad will see it again. Make sure the Bluetooth is ON in Settings and look at the devices seen.

  • Is there any way to fix it so my computer will stop "rebuffering" when I preview a song on itunes.

    When I preview a song on itunes it will play for only a couple of seconds and then it "rebuffers".  It does this constantly.  I do not have this issue when I preview a song on Amazon or if I listen to Pandora radio.  Is there any way to fix this?
    Thank you.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If that doesn't work we may have to reinstall AW6...

    When my wife's Mac Book Pro was being updated to the latest version of OS X the laptop locked up at a grey screen with the Apple icon and status bar.  Is there any way to recover the data and complete the install?  I have not tried anything yet because of the data issue.  I am not sure which OS X version as I did not install the software.

  • Is there any way to swap aliases with another account?

    Hello,
    Is there any way to swap an alias from a dot mac account to a regular Apple ID?
    The Discussion alias that I would like is currently on an expired dot mac account which I have no intention of resubscribing to, and on the Apple ID I use for everything else (iTunes, Apple.ca Store) the discussion alias is somehow my mother's name (I guess it is because it is her credit card on iTunes). I can access to both accounts, is there any way I can delete the alias from the old dot mac account and then change my current Apple ID to said alias.
    Many Thanks,
    JJ MacLean

    Hi JJ!
    Although you can't change the Alias of the account you are using, you can create a new Discussions Account, with an Alias that you prefer.
    You cannot delete your present account. Just stop using it, after you have created a new one.
    You can use all of the same info in the new account, Email address, User name, etc, just be sure to insert a new Alias of your choosing. At this point you could try entering the expired .Mac Alias name.
    But your Level(0), Points(0), Total Posts(3), Total Posts Online(3) and Registered Date(9/7/05), will not be transferred.
    In the new account, your Post Counts, Points, & Level Status will all start at 0. Your Registered Date will be the date you create the new account.
    Your old account, with your previous counts & level, will still be viewable, under the old Alias.
    After you quit using the old account, those posts, will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 1 to 3 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
    The Topics that you started using the old account, will show your Old Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.
    If someone were to do a DiscussionsSearch, using these parameters:
    Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
    Restrict by Date Range: All
    Restrict by Username: Your Old Alias
    all of your posts, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.
    To create a new account,
    Log out of Discussions. You also may have to delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences, but I'm not sure this is necessary. Then follow either of these instructions.
    -How Do I Create My Account?
    If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.
    -To register, click Login in the sidebar on the right side of the Discussions page. In the resulting page, click the "create one" link at the bottom of the page, then click "create one" in the subsequent page and follow the instructions to create an Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple ID FAQ page.
    Those instructions, and more info, can also be viewed by clicking on
    ?Help & Terms of Use, in the right column of Discussions pages.

  • Say I turn off my Computer or restart it & then I load up Firefox the pages I was previously at loads up. Is there any way to turn this off ?

    Hello David.
    Go into ''Tools > Options > General > Startup:When Firefox starts:'' and configure it as you want (probably to show your home page?). This is the very first option that appears in the options screen, but I understand that it may not be very easy to find. Firefox 4 will not include any redesign to the options screen (except possibly it appearing in a tab, rather than in a popup), but you may interested to know that there are plans to redesign the options screen for versions after Firefox 4, to make it easier to use. If you want to know more about the redesign, just ask.
    Anyway, if that doesn't help (it probably does, but just in case), it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • Is there any way to download files on my computer from different websites i have created?

    don´t know what happened but by any reason i cannot find my folders that contain all the files of different websites i have created, in my computers.  So my question is if is there any way i can download those files from the business catalyst into my desk again

    Thanks for replying my email.   Well, I guess i was looking a way to get back all the files that I created to make different websites.  Don´t know what happened but suddenly they disappeared from my desktop, i have been looking at them using different alternatives but I haven´t had any success, so that is why I thought maybe there was a chance to get them from BC.    I am a designer, so I don´t know so much about technical issues.  Thanks anyway.
