Ihave dragged file to desktop
What file have you dragged to the desktop?
You said you'd lost all info from your iPod, then go on to say you still have music files on your iPod when you look at the iPod through "my computer".
If they are still there, you may have success using this method of retrieving them.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders".

JustMeAndYou,
For what it's worth ...
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:

Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Adobe CC year membership not transferred to new computer - How do I get it back?

Earlier this year, I company I worked for bought me a year's subscription to Adobe CC. When got a new computer I wanted to transfer the membership, so I signed out of the desktop app on my old computer and installed it (and signed in) on my new machine. Whilst my premium typekit membership has transferred, I was just offered to start a 30 Day Trial of the programmes rather than showing them as purchased.
I looked on my adobe account and there's no evidence of a paid membership there it just says 'free trial version'. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Help much appreciated

Complicated- No original Adobe Photoshop Software Info for transferring to new computer...

Ok, so in 2009 my father bought me a new computer (Acer, PC) and had his personal tech guy add Adobe Photoshop. Unfortunately, he never informed me of the Photoshop software, nor did I receive the CD installation or any other form of documentation and so I only recently discovered the Photoshop software while trying to transfer files to my newer laptop (Dell, PC). Now I'm just trying to figure out what my options are for getting the software information and having it transferred to my new laptop without any of the installation software. The old laptop (Acer, PC) barely works but I can access Photoshop, so if there is info on it I can provide to help with helping me with this issue, please request. I apologize if this question is in one of the other help sections but I didn't see it. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply and help...wish I'd read it before using the Chat help. Just finished communications with someone through the Chat Help and had to disconnect to find the S/N. Now that I have it I can't seem to re start the open case Chat thing to finish getting the help I need. Regarding the info you gave me after stating I need the S/N I am completely lost and confused on. I have no idea how to figure out if its running in trial mode or if I'm the one it's licensed to. Though I'm pretty sure it's licensed to me. When I've tried registering PS on the older laptop it tells me its registered but when I look for it online it's not there. I shut down PS and reopen it and it asks me to go through the registration process again. Which I've done several times with no other results. I'm sorry, I'm new to all this and am at a loss as to how I'm supposed to proceed...

New Computer, lost disc, have serial, can I put on new computer

Does anyone know if I can download the software for elements 2.0 from their site. I have my serial number, lost the disc and want to install in n my new computer.
I just got 7.0 and dont like it, it doesnt have the photomerge that 2.0 elements had.

PSE 2.0 is long gone from the Adobe site, but you could probably get a cheap copy on eBay. Or, just take this as a chance to upgrade. Photomerge was improved in PSE 3.0, but I don't know whether they made any further enhancements in PSE 4.0 for Windows.

I synced with new computer, lost apps. reinstalled but Office HD docs that we're not lost when I reinstalled will not cut and paste. Will I need to use only new documents to cut and paste?

I synced my IPad2 with a new computer and lost all apps. I reinstalled apps. When I reinstalled the Office2HD, all documents were still ther, but I am trying to cut and paste one and it is not allowing? Will I need to save new documents there for this function to work?

There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
Do you use Bluetooth?
Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
   How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
Find a situation that always gives you trouble, so that know when we learn something.
Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
   2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
   3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
   4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

Previously purchased songs interrupted when transferring to new computer and showing available in iTunes store

New computer purchased, Transferred purchased songs from iTunes to library. 5 were interrupted and will not transfer over. All songs are showing available in iTunes store. How do I fix?

How are they showing in the Music part of your iTunes library ? If they are greyed out and you can't delete them from there then do you have a downward pointing arrow at the top right of the iTunes screen next to the search field e.g.
If you do then click on that and you should get a popup window, can you resume their download or delete them from that window ? If you can delete them they should then show as available for downloading via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading

All the instructions how to import Bookmarks send me to "Organize bookmarks" from "Boolmarks" menu. But there is no such a option in Mozilla 4 Bookmarks menu. How can I get my bookmarks transfered to new computer?

I need to transfer my bookmarks to new computer. At this time only Mozilla 4 was available for download. But all instruction for transferring seems to be provided for previews version of Mozilla. As result I couldn't use this browser.

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4.

HT4527 Pb with Home share moving music and playlist transfers to new computer

I am trying to move my music library and playlists from my old computer (which I want to get rid of once I get my files transfered) to my new computer. After searching and reading, it seemed Home Sharing would be easiest method. I shared my library between my old and new computer. The help screen indicated you had to then save the shared list to the new computer if you want to deactivate the sharing feature (and not use other computer).
When I tried to copy music I'd shared onto new computer, it appears to work until I go to play the music on the computer. Then all the songs cut off about a minute from the end. How do I fix this problem?
Playlists: With the playlists, I followed the directions and exported my playlists to a memory stick and then imported them onto the new computer via itunes. The playlists all show up, but when I play music from the playlist it only plays the first 15 seconds of the song and then moves onto the next song. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks for any insight, directions anyone can share. I have a PC with Windows 7

With a Mac, you'd connect the iPhone to the Mac using the USB cable and then launch iPhoto or whatever other photo/movie application you like, and then import the videos from the phone. You should be able to do the same with your PC; use whatever video importer you like, it should treat the iPhone like any other camera.
You can also use this iOS app, but it will only work pictures and with fairly short videos.

New computer; lost all messages

Hi-
I've lost my messages and I sent myself a test from my hotmail account, and it wasn't received. Something is going on with my new computer. I just bought and set up a new iMac 20".
I migrated files via the method described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1872713
In terms of mail, the only thing suggest to bring over was: /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
I did so. But, when I opened mail, there's nothing there. Nothing in inbox, sent or deleted. And, like I said, when I sent myself a test, nothing came through.
Can anyone tell me how to get my messages and how to get my mail working again? I'm stumped. Thanks.

Also, just another piece of information that is weird, and I don't know if it helps. When I got to preferences in mail and click the "accounts" tab. I see my account there in the left but it says:
.Mac (inactive)
Sounds to me like my account is inactive but I have no idea why, and how to get it back. Everything was fine with my old Powerbook. This is a recent development with my iMac. Thanks.

Time Machine failure transfering to new computer

Hello,
I was having a lot of problems with my 2009 Macbook Pro for various reasons that lead to a lot of random restarts and frozen screens, I took it in multiple times and nothing came of it so they gave me a replacement one under Apple Care. So my situation is that I have TimeMachine and had many successful backups before I recieved the new computer, but during the last backup on my old computer it froze up. Now I am trying to get that information from my old computer onto my new one and Time Machine is saying that my backup is damaged.
Is there a way I can get the information that would still be on TimeMachine on to my new computer despite the failed most recent backup?
(Migration Assistance is not showing my prior saves on my timemachine, saying I need to "make sure it is not currently mounted by another machine", which I assume that it would be mounted to my old (now gone) computer.)
So also is there something I need to do to unmount it or how to access it in a way to solve the previous problem.
Thanks for your time

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Where are your backups (an external HD, a Time Capsule, a Network Drive, or ??).
And/or, take a look at Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 -- can you tell me which window you're seeing that on? Screen title or paragraph number is fine.
when I click on my old back up it says "Cannot be open. If it is a password protected backup you entered the incorrect password. Otherwise the backup may be damaged."
Is that on the same window?
For the migration assistance program the time machine disk does show up under the select you system screen. But then under the same page I click continue and then it only lists my other devices.
Ah, do you mean you've backed-up more than one Mac to the same place, and when you select that line, you see only the others, something like this:
I do not currently have access to my old Mac but I am seeing if I can get it back.
Good. I hope you don't need it.
Please clarify as above where your backups are, if there are multiple Macs there, and whether the backups were made over a network or locally (ie, connected directly to your Mac via USB, FireWire, or Thunderbolt). Then we can dig deeper to see if we can find your stuff.
