Transferring to a new computer.
How do I find and copy the existing settings & bookmarks to the new m/c?

You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
You can also make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

Need to sync iPhone 4 to new laptop; don't want to setup as a new iPhone, want to keep current settings

My previous Dell laptop is crashing and I have purchased a new HP g4 laptop.
I own a 160GB iPod, iPhone 4, and 32gb iPad. I am less concerned about the iPod because that is just my music.
My problem is:
How can I sync my iPhone 4 & 1st gen iPad to my new laptop without having to set it up as a new iPhone/iPad? I want to keep all my current settings as well as my groups of apps.
Any advice?
When I setup iTunes on the new computer, I had backed up all the music and iTunes folder to my external hard drive them copied from there to the new laptop. This process did not copy over my playlists (like I was told it would). iTunes is basically setup new and does not recognize that it is just on a different computer.
I set my iPod to sync and it said "was synced with other library...erase & sync?" I said yes, because it's just music. I imported each playlist 1 by 1.
Any help is appreciated; I really do not want to have to re-setup both iPhone & iPad.
Thanks you,

Thank you for the advice. I had done the backup of the whole library folder to iTunes, but I did not know I had to hold SHIFT down when opening it. I had already synced the iPod when I posted the previous message.
I ended up trying a few steps that seemed to work out in my favor.
When the iPad & iPhone were connected to iTunes, I first right clicked and chose to transfer purchases from the device to iTunes (I was not prompted by the "already associated with a library" message). Once that finished, I right clicked on the device again and chose to Back Up the device (again, not promted). Once the back up was complete, I went to each device and rechose my music,apps, movies, tv shows, books, photos and then clicked to sync. I was prompted here that the device would be erased first. I was then prompted asking if I wanted to Merge Information - I chose to merge and the sync continued.
Once the siny was finished it was as if I had finished a sync with my old laptop; all my settings and everything were in place - did not have to re-enter passwords in apps or set up mail settings again.
This worked on both my iPad and my iPhone.

Can't be done.
What you see when you first open a file in Lightroom is the jpeg preview from the camera that's embedded in the Raw file: after a few seconds Lightroom generates its own preview, with the effect you describe.
There's no way round this - you'll have to adjust Lightroom's settings to resemble the in-camera results you want, and save the settings as the new defaults.

I want to create a new itunes account but keep the content. Is this possible?

My family has always used one Itunes account for all devices. Now it is necessary for us to create a new itunes account. We want to keep the apps, music etc that we each have now. How can I do this? Is this even possible?

I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase- you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
This explains it in a little more detail.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
This explains transferring purchases.

I want to sync my apps with a new authorized computer, but I want to keep the arrangement of apps at home screen, possible?

Actually, the computer is the same, but I re installed my windows and now my ipad recognizes it as a new computer. It's authorized and the purchases have been transferred, but I want to keep the way I have arranged my apps.

Select the Apps tab in iTunes with your iPad connected.
You can drag apps from one screen to another if necessary, then click Sync.

I just purchased an external disk drive to store my pictures. I want to keep the last 12 months of pictures on my iMac and move the rest to the new external drive. As new pictures are added I want them to be put on the iMac internal drive. How?

I just purchased an external disk drive to store my growing number of pictures. I want to keep the last 12 months of pictures on my iMac and move the remaining pictures to the new external drive. As I take more pictures I want them to be put on the iMac internal drive. Every 3 to 6 months I would then move some additional pictures to the external drive. I am nuervous about losing any of the pictures and want to make sure I follow the proper procedure. What is the right way to handle this?
Thanks.

Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. How do I do this?

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

I have my my original itunes on my old computer that doesnt accept CD's anymore and My new computer has some of the old songs and some new songs. How do I get all my old content on the new computer and still keep the new content? I also have a few different ipods and I want to have all the songs on all of them but it wont let me.

Frustrated please help!!

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

ITunes no longers asks "Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?" - Can this be fixed?

I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.
Thanks!

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

How do I return to iCLoud a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded from iCloud to my MacBook? I only need the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded

How do I return (to iCloud from MacBook Pro) a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded? I only needed the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded. I know how to delete songs, but is there a way to just "undo" and return songs to iCloud and maintain existing playlist on MacBook?

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

The music sync is how you got the music from the computer to the ipod in the first place.
You cannot sync it from the ipod to the computer as I explained in the previous post, unless it is itunes purchased music.

How do I adjust the page orientation in Pages? I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

The work around is to do two documents, one in portrait format and one in landscape format. When finished export to Pdf. open in Preview by select both files and use Cmd + O or doubleclick. You can now in Previews thumbnail column the pages from one document into the other and then save.
If you have created only one with i.e. all pages in portrait format but with the content for the landscape pages rotated on the pages, you can rotate the pages in Preview. Two ways to get the same result.
