    Try asking your Boot Camp question in the Boot Camp forum rather than in the Windows Compatibility forum. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

    I erase my  iTunes library that was on an external hd by accident, how can i recover the data that i lost?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then  you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

    Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
    If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
    (Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

    It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

  • I tried to send and email file that was too large and now my email is not working. the draft continue to repopulate over and over

    I need help with email. I composed a new mail with an attachment that was too large. I never sent it, but it locked my mail up and continues to repopulate the draft.

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • How can I set-up my mac mini server to be a central file server for my windows boxes (they don't see the mac on the network), and how do I set-up a central iTunes server so that all my devices sync to the mac mini?

    I am looking for step by step instructions to configure my mac mini server to support the following:
    1. Central itunes server for all my devices (ipad, ipod, iphone, etc.)
    2. Central file server so that my windows devices can save and retrieve data from the central system (the mac does not show up in the network for the windows systems - all running windows XP or 7)
    Thanks,
    Keith

    You will need to enable file sharing in System Preferences
    as well as setting up sharing and permissions for the
    directories that you want shared.  You may also want to
    setup a non-administrative user or allow limited guest
    access.  The user would require entering a user name and
    password to make the connection, but would allow remotes
    to change files, if set up tat way.
    As for serving iTunes media, better to post in the iTunes forum.

  • TS3276 i have an outgoing message that is too big and is stuck, but I can't see my outbox. how can I delete it?

    I clicked on an add for Firefox that appeared on my in box. Up came a window saying that I can't access Firefox from my IPad. I can't get rid of this window as there is no x or Done feature.

  • How can page margins be changed when printing from Firefox for Mac OS X? (This is easy to do on the Windows version.)

    Page margins can be adjusted from the page setup menu in the Windows version of Firefox, but there does not appear to be an equivalent menu in the Mac version.

    Hi onlyhuman2-
    I'm not familiar with the printing options using Windows. I've found this article on editing print options for a Mac: [[Printing a web page]]
    That shows you how to shrink the page, and to edit page headers and footers. I'm hoping that covers the margins you were hoping to change.
    Good luck!

  • New windows 8 pc doesn't show old itunes library.  How can i transfer my songs from IPod Nano 2nd Gen to computer

    My new Windows 8 PC doesn't show my old Itunes library.  How can I transfer my songs from IPod 2nd Gen to new PC?

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

  • HT1202 I get how you can transfer purchases from a device to computer but what about the hundreds of songs on my iPad that were from CDs and non purchased? How can you move them from iPAd to computer if it wants to erase and sync?

    I am needing to transfer ALL content, not just purchased, to new computer and it wants to erase and sync because device is associated with another Library. Please help!

    What was the source to get that content onto the iPad?
    There has to be a middleman to get from CD to iPad - use
    backup of that to get content to new computer.

  • Device manager was messed with and devices were deleted how can i fix it???!!!!!!!

    hp pavillion tx 2000
    windows vista
    someone started to delete devices from device manager. don't know which ones were deleted so some stuff isn't working... HELP
    is there any way to find out exactly which devices belong on there for my exact computer?!

    Hi,
    If devices have been deleted, they will be re-discovered by Windows Vista as soon as you do a restart - when you have restarted, let Windows fully load ( this may take a little longer than usual as drivers for uninstalled devices will have to be reloaded, so give it a good 5 minutes ).  Then open Device Manager, click View in the toolbar and select to show hidden devices - any that have not reloaded correctly will have a yellow triangle against them - if you don't see any, then there's nothing to worry about.
