Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
our old computer crashed and we purchased a new Mac. we had all of the music taken off of the old computer, put on a hard drive and then put on the new computer. we do not have the passwords or emails for all of the Apple ID.s but want access too the music and when I make playlists, they won't completely transfer to my phone or iPod. It's about both devices.
