Wipe computer HELP
Hi all,
If i wipe my computer back to factory settings, and transfer the music in the itunes library and also the back ups that its done on to a seperate fresh HD (i believe these are held in MobileSYNC file?), will these just act as normal and play, and also restore iphones back if needs be. Im normally ok on a PC but dont want to do it if its going to cause problems for file paths etc
Thanks in advance
Can you describe more about what you summarize as "unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer." ? What actions do you take and what results? What messages do you get? Are you able to install it on a different computer?
Since you use the word "same", it might be a case that you do have another machine that the install is functional on. If so, or even if you installed a couple of times on the same machine, it might be a case where your activation allowance has been used up and you need to have them reset. If you contact Adobe Support thru chat you can ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two allotted to you available again.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another. Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please
I cannot for the life of me figure this out.What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync. Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes. When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it. Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone. After selecting your apps then you can sync. Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Since I downloading the new FireFox, it crashes every hour or so, then will keep crashing when I try restart it. Only restarting my computer helps, but then it will crash again. 90% of the time, when sending crash report(s), a mesage that there was a problem sending it appears. Please fix the problem and/or tell me what I can do.
I found the solution here, it's really works!
I'm glad I found this site.

my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

HT1420 when i open Itunes there is no where that says authorize my computer help???
When I open Itunes there is no where that says Authorize my computer Help?????
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!
There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. -

i restored my ipod touch .bt again it display as"ipod is disabled.connect to itunes'wht shall i do nw.i wanna get it back.i restored nt in my computer.help me to solve this problem !!!
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPod.
Take special note of the article about using recovery mode. Many times, that is the only way to bypass the pass code and restore the device.
IOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
This will tell you how to restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode.

IPhone won't sync to new computer w/library from old computer HELP!
Got an iPhone4 for Christmas... already had many, many Gs of music on my PC. Installed iTunes, purchased some music from iTunes, Amazon, sync'd some to my iPhone. Backed up *all* my music onto flash drive(s). (PC was +10yrs old). PC dies. Get new-to-me computer replacement from my husband's office (some ghosts from previous user still exist). Do my best to locate all previous owners music and delete. Load all my music from my flash drive onto new-to-me PC. iTunes can't 'see' my music. Figure out where library from previous PC owner is, re-direct iTunes from that library to my data. Go onto iTunes and authorize new-to-me computer using same userid so now all library history info related to that userid should now be linked w/this newer-to-me PC, right? Purchase more music from iTunes. Try to sync iPhone to my iTunes account using new-to-me computer, and it wants to erase my iPod and associate it with "this iTunes library." Crap. I just want to put 3 newest songs onto my iPhone, which I purchased, fair & square.
1)How do I 'de-authorize' my old PC? It is no longer alive or bootable.
2)How can I convince iTunes that the library on this newer-to-me PC is the library from my old PC, plus more added while on this newer-to-me PC and the library on my iPhone are really one-and-the-same library all belonging to me fair and square?
3)Is there a way to transfer songs onto my iPhone without iTunes running an inventory on my iPhone to try to automatically add or delete songs that are checked or unchecked? I don't want my entire library on my iPhone.
4)Will I have to remember to ensure every song that I want to stay on my iPhone are always checked in iTunes before syncing my iPhone to my iTunes, even when I only want to make a couple of changes? (if yes, I'll just skip that step and insert the pins in my eyes now.)
Don't get me wrong, I really LOVE my iPhone, I just really don't love a lot of the built-in 'features' of iTunes as I currently understand things. I'd be a lot happier if iTunes were a dummer program and totally manual, in the way the older vs of MSWindows Media Player is. (I cannot beleive I just had to admit that I like a Windows SW product over an Apple one! Deffinitely a sign of the appololypse - hope you're a 'prepper.')
Please help me. I am so weary of the days and hours I've spent trying to find/read the answers to my questions on my own. Many thanks.
BrianneHey Roaming Gnome,
hope you're having a good day! Thanks so much for the info... although I don't really like the reality of the answers... The answers were depressing (through no fault of your own-you were just passing on the info I asked for-I get that part and appreciate your help) so I went away to lick my wounds and gain the strength to tackle this project. So, here's the deal, I did back up all the songs that were on my old PC, both the "My Music" folder and the "iTunes" folder within. All on flash drive. That computer died, cannot be resuscitated, drive HD erased/shredded, PC now in pieces... fine, I have my music, what do I care, right? (yeah, I know, wrong) I loaded all my music onto my new-ish/replacement PC. Not yet syncing my iPhone... Then, from my new-ish PC, I purchased some music and a few TV shows from iTunes and some music from Amazon (I had gift cards). Then I purchased more music from the iTunes store using my phone. Also, before my old PC died, I had downloaded (I thought), an app and some free ringtones using my iPhone. However, I eventually discovered that they aren't *really* installed/downloaded (only the free app I got off the iTunes store is downloaded/installed). Found this out when I went to try to use a ringtone, couldn't locate them on my phone, and weren't showing up on my PC in my iTunes library... I finally found something on the app that said something about I have to sync my phone to my iTunes library, in some different way... (?) then download them from my iTunes library back to my phone. (huh?) This didn't make sense to me, so I never did it, because I just didn't have the time to figure it out, then execute it.... at that time.
I also never took the time to set up the free part of my iCloud account because, again I didn't have time to try to figure it out, and didn't think I'd really have to have it I had all my music on my flash drive (wrong again).
1) So, how can I get my purchases (the ones that exist only on my iPhone, including rights to the free ring-tones) into my iTunes library, and or iCloud, without losing them all?
Once I do this, I can back everything up, then sync my iPhone to my only iTunes library, which I realize will wipe my phone clean, then re-copy everything back onto my iPhone. (I can't wait to start this process... do you think it will be done before Christmas?)
2)Also, will syncing my iPhone to what it thinks is a 'new' library, will it delete anything on my computer that wasn't in the library last time I sync'd my phone to my library? I really don't want to pay for the TV shows again, or spend the stupid hours I spent/lost searching through and collecting the ringtones that I wanted? I burned the hours thinking, "if I just spend the time now, I'll never have to do this again."
3)On a slightly separate issue, the iCloud listing on my iPhone in the 'Settings' menu is light gray, and does not respond when I tap on it or hold my finger on it. Ideas?
4) In the future, if I get a new computer to replace the one I'm using, what are the steps I should take to keep me from losing music I own, existing in my iTunes library, on my PC and/or iPhone, And, cause me the least amount of heartburn possible when migrating my music world over to a replacement PC? I don't expect this will be my last PC in life - or I'd like to think I'll outlive this PC. Can I avoid all problems by just naming the new computer the same thing as the last one? Or does the iPhone/iTunes SW know more than just the name of the computer? Sorry this is so long. It would be shorter if iPhone/iTunes SW were dumb... we'd all be enjoying chips & margaritas by now. ;^}

Is my Sony Vaio i5 2.50GHz with 6gb RAM not enough anymore? I am having major lock up, freezing and PS complete shutdown issues. I am working with 32 and 16 bit files creating composites with 15+ layers. I cannot afford this much down time. I've run all of the scans and defrag programs possible. Is it time to invest in something better? I suck at computer specs and what is needed and what is used. I would appreciate any advice/help given. Thank you.
I didn't even know they did 6 gigs. Is that using the expansion slot? If not, I'd add in as much as you can.
I have a Vaio i5-2410 @ 2.3GHz with 8 gB ram (I got the 4 gB and then put in another 4 myself). It gets bogged down with intensive operations on large files, and I only do 16 bit, I'm sure 32 is going to give it trouble. But I've done plenty of work compositing multiple RAW images from a 20 mP camera with dozens of adjustment layers. But I'm also usually just about maxed out of Ram, with Photoshop, Lightroom, and DxO. I've also had plenty of crashes. So much so I ended up building a PC, but that's another story.
A couple issues I've had with my Vaio:
The AMD GPU doesn't play nice with PS. That's what crashes it. Sometimes it's worse than others, but it definitely "flares up" at times and even the simplest of operations will crash it. I've tried all kinds of updates, and rolling back drivers and whatnot. None of it works. Turning off graphics acceleration might of helped, or it might have been placebo. My main solution is to save often and completely close and reopen PS in-between major projects.
There absolutely is an issue where PS doesn't clear out the ram when I close a big document (I frequently work on projects in the 2 - 3 gB range). I also did a lot of research on that, and many swear that it's how it's supposed to function, but mine gets so bogged down it can't even open a small photo. It doesn't do it consistently, but when it does it's obvious that something is wrong. My solution is to simply close and reopen PS.
All Windows computers, in my experience, slow down after a few years. Task and registry cleaners only work so much (and are supposed to be unnecessary in Windows 7). People attribute it to the computer being old, but if you simply (ok not simply) wipe your drive and reinstall Windows and your programs it suddenly works like new again. I had to do this to my Vaio a month ago after my hard drive crashed. I also upgraded to an SSD. It was a pain in the ***, and took a whole night of loading programs and tweaking things back to how I had it, but it runs better than it ever has. Knock on wood - Photoshop has been running a lot better too.
