Trouble connecting to and from my work computer & home computer

When I first bought my iPod Touch, I could easily not only connect it and sync/load songs etc. from my home computer, I noticed and real good feature in that I could connect it to my work MAC as well. I have an iPhone now and i noticed you can't do this. It asks you to sync the iPhone and all data will be lost if I choose to do so. When I connect it to my work computer all the fields are grayed out. This ***** if I can't go to and from from home t work with my new iPhone when I could so easily with my iPod Touch. Any feedback on this would be much appreciated.

Some info and a bit of detail about your network set up would be helpful. How are you connected to the internet? Cable modem? DSL? Is there a router involved? Are you connected via ethernet or airport?

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.

Will this video card and power supply work on my computer? HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC

I have a HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC, will this video card and power supply work on my computer?
Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8379339&sku=A455-0760
Power Supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4668507&sku=C13-2511
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

It is unlikely that the power supply will fit/work in your HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop Computer. Please consider the Corsiar CX500, CX500M, CX600, and CX600M for your power supply needs. These power supplies are the same physical size as the factory unit and are known to fit and work in most HP full-sized consumer desktop computers.
There is a chance that the GTX 760 and other current generation video cards may not work in your computer. These newer cards typically require the computer to support the most current UEFI standards and many motherboards don't meet this criteria. Please know the return policy on any video card you purchase, in case it doesn't work. If the GTX 760 doesn't work, consider the GTX 650/660 Ti or equivalent AMD graphics card for your graphics card needs.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

We use Embarqmail from CenturyLink on our home computer. We can get to our email on our iPod, but we have trouble opening the mail. When we tap on an email, sometimes they open; most often they don't. Is there a solution?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?

Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?
Also why is there no customer service phone number associated with Adobe Photoshop? It makes me hesitant to purchase from a company that refuses to offer support. I guess I'm asking a question on a forum and the company directed me to.??

Yes, you're permitted to activate the software on a maximum of two computers at the same time.

I have the original iPad and want to upgrade the operating system and do not have a home computer available to go through iTunes to upgrade it. Is there a place that I can take it to upgrade it for me?

I have the ipad1 and want to upgrade the IOS system and do not have a home computer to do it. Is there someplace I can take it and have it done for me professionally? I checked with Best Buy and they declined.

A physical Apple Store. If you want to do it yourself, you can use any computer with an Internet connection.

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

OK, here's the explanation. When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up. Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed. However, Windows computers cannot do this. They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

Help combining music files from work computer, home computer and iPhone

When I connect my iPhone to my home computer, iTunes won't let me transfer the songs on my iPhone onto my home computer's iTunes without overwriting everything on my home's iTunes. The songs were placed on my iPhone using my work computer's iTunes. Any suggestions on how to get all my music that is on my work computer and on my iPhone onto my home computer without wiping out my home computer's music library?
Thanks,
Paul

You should be able to connect your iPhone to your home computer and use *File > Transfer Purchases from Paul's iPhone* to copy any iTunes Store purchases you made at work or directly on the iPhone into your home iTunes library. This transfer should only add items to your iTunes library and not delete anything.
Working in the other direction, iTunes to iPhone (& iPod Touch?), will remove all existing media and replace it with whatever local content you wish to place on it. In contrast to other iPods this happens even if you choose to manually manage the content. I.e. at the time you want to edit the content every file that you want on the iPod must be present and accessible in the local library.
The most obvious way not to get caught out is to have a complete backup that you could restore in the event of a disaster. A small USB host-powered external drive is ideal for this. I use SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS to manage the backups. This can copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
It's not documented or supported, but I have found that if you use the same set of files (kept in sync with SyncToy) on two different machines the iPod/iPhone sees each as it's "home" library and will let you sync content from it without wiping and reinstalling everything. Obviously to perform such a trick you first have to merge your existing libraries and take care of shuffling the content back and forth but it does have a few advantages. First content can be added to the iPhone where you happen to be at the time, second you end up with multiple copies of your library for backup. Given that you can even load an iTunes library directly from an external drive you can actually manage the library or iPhone from any machine running the same version of iTunes. The main drawback with the scheme is that you may at times make independent updates to different copies of the library. I use iTunes Folder Watch occasionaly to scan my library folders for any new additios or missing items that arise from asynchronous edits.

SMB Direct connect Issues and error -36 (work around?)

I use the SMB command to connect from a Imac, to a Windows 7 machine.   Typically on a fresh restart of both machines the connection would be quick and fast transfer speeds.   However after a while I would get disconnected and after logging back in, would get slow connections and typically get an error -36 when trying to transfer bigger files.     What I did notice was that when the Windows machine would go to sleep, and come back online, these symptoms would occur.
What I decided to do, was turn off any type of sleep mode and power saving options on the network device. for the windows machine.   As naturally I would still get disconnected every once in a while, once I connect I do not have anymore issues.    This has worked now for the last couple of days, so I assume I can consider this a work around.
It seems that if the SMB connection gets disconnected from the other computer, the Mac will start giving errors.    I am not sure if this is really the mac issue, but this has only happened when I updated to Yosemite.
Let me know if anyone else has this problem, and has success with this solution.

If your MacBook is using wifi, connect your ATV to it using an Ethernet cable and turn on Internet sharing in the Sharing section of the System Preferences for the Ethernet NIC in the MacBook, then set up the ATV for a TCP/IP connection in the General -> Network section of the ATV Settings menu.

Newbie : Trouble connecting to Airport from Win 8.1 on Macbook Pro

I recently bought a Macbook Pro 2013 and an Airport time capsule 2TB . I have win 8.1 installed via boot camp but am unable to connect to airport from windows as I get a "The capability of your network adapter does not match the requirements of this network". No problem connecting to the airport from the OSX partition. Also no problem connecting to a different wireless "N" network. I did install the windows drivers from Apple. The network is seen from windows byt has an x marked against it with the above message. Can some one help?
Arun.

Hmm... No answers yet I am still having this problem. I can't be the only one using Windows 8.1 on a 2013 Macbook Pro trying to connect to an 2013 Airport Time Capsule. Am I? Maybe I should play the lottery ;-). Any way if there is any one else successful in the above mentioned set up. I'd like to see if I can mimick their set up. Can some one verify if I am using the right driver to begin with? I have version 6.30.223.170 from broadcom corporation. If that is not the version to use, can some one please let me know which one to use. I can also let you know my settings if that does not work. I can do that by private email and post a consolidated reply if I am able to solve the problem. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all.

Trouble Connecting iPad and iPhone to Exchange Server 2010

Exchange Server 2010.
I have found some online instructions for connecting iPhones and iPods (or iPads) to Exchange Server 2010 using activesync. I enter all the information as I understand it (the same info used to successful connect Droids), and I do not get an error
until I try to sync (retrieve mail) the first time. Then it says, "The connection to the server failed."
In the instructions I follwed it has this statement, "Before we get started, please be sure your administartor has purchased you an Activesync license and assigned to
your email address." What the heck does this mean and how can I accomplish it? I know activesync is working. So why do I need a "license"?
Any help will be appreciated.

Question re: transfering music from work to home computer

hello! My itunes at work has roughly 3500 songs on it and I have all those songs on my ipod. My husband wants to use my ipod while he works out and i wanted to create a playlist just for him (for the songs that he wants, so he doesnt have to hear my "country crap" as he calls it- lol)- anyway because all my songs are at work and there are at least 3500 songs he doesnt want to go through each song on my ipod, and write down all the songs he wants in his playlist. soooo-- is there a way to put the songs on our home computer too- so i can create the playlist and he can just listen to each song or pick the songs he knows add them to his playlist and be done with it? it can potentially be a one time thing since once he has gone through the bulk of the songs and he has his playlist started it will be easier to add since it most likely will be a cd or two- and not 3000 plus songs to go through. Hope I make sense.
thanks!!
lisa

You could move the songs from your iPod to your computer using an option like one of these...
YamiPod
MacMuse: Computer Crashed
You also can search the Discussions and the Internet (via Google) for more options.
That would be the easiest option.
If you want to move the songs from computer to computer (without your iPod), see this...
