Your music will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Did you fail to do this?
The ipad is not a replacement for a computer. It is simply a large ipod touch.
If for some reason you have failed to keep a copy of your music, not good, you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT204370 I had purchased a movie on my ipad while on a business trip and now I'm home on my IMac and wish to watch the movie I didn't finish on my iPad. How can I continue to watch on my IMac if I purchased and started on my iPad ?

If I back up my iOS devices on my iMac in the US, then do a time machine backup to an external HD, will I be able to plug the external HD into a brand new iMac in the UK and restore the new machine as per the old one, and restore my iOS devices?

Since you don't really have a question, I will give you a very broad information source for the next time you have a Time Machine question.
Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Oh, you cannot use a computer whose only disk drive is the target of a an OS X cloning operation regardless of what software is used for the clone. You can, however, use the source drive except if you try to clone using Disk Utility.

I bought a new iPad Air and gave my ipad 2 to my partner. How can I change ownership and passwords and accounts to her.

My iMac 2006 had Lion and now does not run any Lion at all.

Hi
I have tried to install my Lion from an external drive. This drive has basic Lion on it and runs great with my iMac.
However installing the Lion on my iMac fails constantly. I have reviewed the installation protocol and can not find a clue. It seems as if the drive was wrong but the disc checker does not find a clue when it is empty. I did several partition processes and deleted it with various methods. However a volume of 310 MB was always left, although hidden to me.
When I checked the protocol some errors occur. I can not judge, which critical at all. However this ReportCrash could be a hint.

Hi
The problem was a hard drive with a bad storage area.
I replaced the hard drive with an external drive and boot the OS X from there.
Now all is good.
That was solved a year ago.
Thanks for being patient.

My new ipad 2 won't sync with itunes. on window 7 newest itunes update. it synced with my imac. pc recognized but itunes doesn't

computer recognizes it but itunes doesn't

you do know that you can only sync with one computer right?

IMac OSX (10.6)and Aperture 3 new convert. In archives found description of how to set preferences in email export photo drop down, but email set photo to small, although I picked 1024x1024 still received as attachment as well and small size. Tnx

Recently acquired OSX (10.6) and Aperture 3 (previously Lightroom and Adobe CS4 + Windows & user)
1) How do I send Apple Mail with photo approx 1024+1024 around 250Kbs - not as an attachment.
2) How do I make a frame around my image when sending by Mail - can't find this in Aperture 3
3) Where can I find perpective corrector - shift lens - to correct slant of buildings etc
Thanks

If you go to 'Aperture menu > Presets > Image Exports..', you will see a list of packaged presets. Selecting the 'Email Medium - JPEG' will set the dimensions to fit within 1024 x 1024 pixels by default (the longest side of image will be set to 1024 and the aspect ratio will be kept). Playing with the 'Image Quality' slider may be necessary to achieve your desired file size.
Here are a couple of links that may be of interest:

http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=20%26se ction=11%26tasks=true
2) How do I make a frame around my image when sending by Mail - can't find this in Aperture 3
I am not sure that this is possible via Aperture. You can get the free plug-in called "BorderFX" which allows adding of frames and watermarks on export, but I believe you would have to export the image to add the border and then email (by dragging into your email message).
Here is the link to BorderFX:
http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX/
Note - others may have a better alternative to adding a border in a more efficient manor.
3) Where can I find perpective corrector - shift lens - to correct slant of buildings etc
The least expensive option would be PTLens, which works well as a plug-in and costs $25 US. The author has a page dedicated to shift lenses, so you will want to check it out before making a decision. He also offers a trial version to test on your machine / equipment.
http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/
Note - I don't use a shift lens, so my recommendation ends at saying that his plug-in works well for what it is meant to do (correct distortion for supported lenses with manual controls for distortion and CA).
Hope that helps.

I recently bought a new iMac as well as a wireless time capsule and have it connected how can I use this external drive as the location to store all my files for iTunes, or is this even possible?

New iMac user here, I recently bought a new iMac and Time capsule and have the whole network up and running now. I have connected another external HD to the time capsule as well and have a total of 3 TB of storage connected wireless to my new iMac. My question is can I use this location as the default location for iTunes? I doubt I am gonna run out of room considering the iMac has 1 TB of storage already, but I'd prefer to keep my movies and music off the Mac to keep it running smoothly. If this is possibly, I'd like to do this with iPhoto as well.

I would advise against placing your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule is designed as a backup device and not for wireless streaming of video.
Before you do anything more, can I suggest you put into place a reliable, redundant backup strategy.
Unless you are prepared to risk loss of your iTunes library due to a hard drive failure, I would not put iTunes on the Time Capsule.
Leave your iTunes library on your iMac until such time as your internal drive is full. Backup to Time Capsule using Time Machine and create a clone of your internal iMac HD to your external drive.
That's my 2 cents worth. Others may have a different opinion.

IWork free on new iPad does that mean it's free on my iMac?, iWork free on new iPad does that mean it's free on my iMac?

I recently bought a new iPad Mini Retina and got the iWork apps for free and I was wondering if that meant that I can now get them on my iMac for free. They still say that the price is 19.99, but I don't want to hit buy if it's going to charge me.

They are different versions for different operating systems, and will need to be purchased separately.

Can't sync my new ipad Air to my Leopard iMac

I just bought a new iPad Air and discovered that I can't sync to my iMac (Leopard).
I was going to upgrade to Snow Leopard but could not as I don't have enough space (2 GB).
Don't know what to do as I would like to transfer most info from my current iPad 2 to iPad Air.

I was told that if I sync my current iPad 2 to another computer,it will wipe out all my data. Is this true?
That is true. There are, however, ways to transfer sync to another computer without losing your data. Check out this user tip from TuringTest:

I installed iOs 6 on my New iPad. After that every time I try to synchronize the New iPad with my iMac I get the message: "This iPad can not be synchronized; an unknown error (1140)".
What do I have to do to get the iPad sychronized?

Is the iMac still on the network?
Have you connected the iPad to the Mac mini via USB and sync'd it?

Whenever my new iMac updates or is shutdown, I lose all the Bookmarks that I've created in Safari are gone. Anyone know how to prevent this?

Several times now I have created a Bookmark list in Safari but everytime the iMac updates the software, or I shut the computer down, I lose all the Bookmarks. Only the pre-installed Bookmarks remain. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

How do i delete photos and videos from my ipad without deleting them from my imac/

how do i delete photos and videos from ipad without deleting them from my imac?

Deleting photos and videos on your iPad will have no effect on your iMac.

Can't download Yosemite, imac is compatible, RAM and Space OK

I have a Imac (2008) with 2GB and 1TB of new space, on 10.6.8 at this time. Have been trying to download Yosemite, tried several ways indicated in forum, still no download. Is there a server issue as advanced by one discussion? if so can' someone confirm the fact? Is there a fix, this is getting frustrating. thanks

There has been at least one other questionable experience of someone's failed attempt to
access the App Store &/or Mac App Store this morning (6AM here) where the server may
have been involved. Or perhaps their computer was not fully up-to-date, which would make
the issue one in their computer and not a problem with a server.
Most persons here have no internal access to the workings of Apple Inc, or the status of
the main servers. This is primarily a user-to-user discussions area of volunteers and has
a few Apple community specialists who may or may not reply. If there is an issue and one
of those persons happens to see a pattern, they may be able to contact someone in the
engineering or other related departments.
