Question by sydneyswans: How can I transfer iTunes songs to another computer while maintaining the play count and ratings?
I have my complete iTunes library on my desktop computer, but want to transfer this to my laptop. I want to use my USB to transfer songs (I want to transfer a bunch of songs at one time). I tried copying and pasting from the ‘My Music’ folder, but this seems to erase all my personal infomation for each song, like the song ratings and play count, which I have accumulated over time.

Is there a program or method where I can retain this information during the transfer?

Thanks.

Question by : Can anyone recommend a custom computer (laptop) builder in Australia.?
I want a laptop built specifically for photo and video editing and music, and I want it to last. Is there a company similar to ”Puget Systems” in the States?
I live in Vietnam. Will be coming to Australia for 4 weeks Nov/Dec. I really need something reliable. Too far away for backup service.

Answer by mchl494
While there does not seem to be a company exactly like the one you are looking for in Australia, you could contact the company and see if they would ship your PC to Australia if you paid for shipping.
I have also listed several sites below where you may be able to order your version of a similar computer or find a refurbished model as well.
Good luck!
PS. – Ask some of your friends if they know any tech-saavy people around where you live. They might be able to help you more.

NOooooo. Please don’t buy from them. Is a fraud. Prices are good but goods never come.
I paid for a TV $ 450, then they asked me for additional $ 180 for tax. I paid both and never heard from them again. I have been waiting for tracking number for more than a month and sending emails to them. They just do not answer. Until yesterday when they asked me for another $ 205 for more tax…
I keep calling and trying to contact them through the chat and they just do not answer.
I sent a formal complaint to the Chinese embassy in my country…I am waiting

Answer by phonicuk
The power button on laptops only ever switches off by pressing and holding. Sometimes for as long as 15 seconds. Try pressing and holding it until it powers off.

If it *still* won’t die, remove the cord and remove the battery. You should also look into what’s causing it to crash as well. If its a bluescreen on a laptop its most likely a driver or other software issue.

Question by prettypitcher7: What computer manufacturers are rated best on customer satisfaction and reliability of laptops?
I’m looking to buy a laptop, and am wondering which company would be best to buy from. I’m leaning towards HP and Toshiba.

Best answer:

Answer by Silver_bacon
Supposedly the top rated brands overall right now are Apple, and Lenovo. I know HP got the worst for Customer Support, I don’t know where Toshiba ranked for anything.

I think I read that from PC Magazine but I can’t seem to remember for sure….
