How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
Thanks!

You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

    If you do not intend to use the older machine any longer, you should consider deactivating it and uninstalling it from that machine.  If you think you might need the option to use it, you are allowed to maintain two licensed installations.

  • How can I transfer playcounts from an old pc to a new pc?

    I have sucessfully transferred my whole iTunes library and all playlists over to a new pc, however, even after syncing my iPhone, which seems to still show playcounts, the iTunes on the new pc does not seem to remember them.
    This is a problem because I have set up smart playlists that use playcounts to determine songs to use, now that all playcounts are forgotten these playlists no longer work.
    Is there any way I can transfer playcount data from my old pc to my new, then sync my iPhone with the new pc so the old pc is no longer required at all?

  • How can I transfer songs from my old Ipod to my new one?

    I just bought a new ipod video from apple and I would like to transfer all of my songs from my old 3rd generation ipod to my new one, how can I do this?

    Download iRip, the program will detect your iPod then select "recover". If you have a firewire connection this will be fast. If you have a new iPod then you'll wait a little longer for your music to be ripped. When everything's recovered you eject the old iPod and connect the new one, drag'n drop, voilá. Don't forget to get rid of your music once you are sure it's installed -and maybe backuped in a external hard drive- so your computer memory won't be affected.
    I use mac, I'm noticing that you are windows, if this don't work, google "rip ipod" and you'll find something there. Hope it works!

  • How can i transfer songs from my old computer to my new computer?

    I got an Macbook Air for a birthday present and i have all my music on my old computer! I am trying to figure out how to transfer it to my new computer. please help!

    There are a couple of ways, you could share your library through iTunes on the original device and then let iTunes on the new machine access the share, then copy the songs to the new machine (You will lose all play stats using this route). 
    Secondly, create a network share on the original machine, access share and copy the library files over to the new machine, iTunes should on the first load validate the library (this route will keep all play stats).

  • How can I transfer elements from an old document to a new one?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm quite new to InDesign and not really from this area, so I'm having a tough time learning how to use it. My first project is what I first thought would be simple for a start: a recipe book. So I started using different master pages for different categories - meat, fish, soups, etc. - and had my first problem when finding out it is not a good idea to have text frames in the master page, cause everytime I change something there and apply it to the others, it kind of messes up the existing pages and I get lots of duplicated frames. it got so messed up I figured the best thing would be to start a completely new document (I also found out I had the wrong margins and can use a normal A4 with bleed, and no bigger-sized page, as I'd done).
    Now I decided to start the whole thing over again, but I don't want to start from zero. So how can I:
    1) import my existing gradients?
    2) import my character styles and colors?
    3) import my texts? (I guess this is not very difficult, so I figure I can find out, but please tell me if there are any "tricks", cause I'm thinking of exporting my doc as txt and copy-pasting.)
    I'm sorry if this has already been posted in this forum or can be found in the help-section, but I swear I have looked for it and couldn't find it...
    Thanks already in advance!

    easiest are steps 1) and 2) :)
    make copy of your document, add new blank page on the end, select all pages without last - click delete icon :)
    next - delete all MasterPages
    next - redefine page size, margins, add MasterPages, etc.
    now - you can copy&paste your texts from old document :)

  • How can I transfer files from an old Mac onto my new one?

    As outlined on this thread, I am trying to get data from my 1995 Performa 630 to my recently delivered MacBook Pro.  All suggestions gratefully received.
    Also, are ClarisWorks files instantly readable by modern office software, or do I need to save in RTF or some other format, first, on the older machine?

    Hi...
    Your new MacBookPro has Mac OS X Lion v10.7.x installed on an Intel processor and cannot open or read ClarisWorks files as such.
    However, you may be able to reformat to RTF >  AppleWorks: Document Recovery Techniques
    The issue is going to be migrating files since you can't use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

  • How can I transfer video from iMovie 2.0 on iOS7 to my PC without using the share tool?

    I'm trying to get a large video (~7.5GB) from iMovie to transfer to my PC for editing. Being that I am using a 16GB iPhone 5s, this seems to be impossible with the share tool (the square with an up arrow coming out of it) because iMovie wants to duplicate the video to either the camera roll or some other medium which won't fit on my device. Is there any way (hack or otherwise) that I can get my video safely to the computer?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi Kurt,
    The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck. 
    I think it's best that take  this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
    Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

  • How can I transfer photos from an old Windows phone to an iPhone without a PC/Mac?

    My mother has used a Windows phone for the last three years and has just upgraded to an iPhone. She doesn't have a PC or Mac. I have tried using MS OneDrive, which automatically uploads pictures taken with the Windows phone, similar to the iCloud Photo Library. However, using the iOS app to access those pictures, they have been shrunk down to a tiny fraction of their original size. They are unusable, a blurry, pixilated mess. And you can only save one at a time to the iPhone camera roll. Is there any other way to do this? I obviously want the full size photos to be copied over to the iPhone, en masse.
    Thanks for any help.

    I was going to suggest Dropbox but apparently they announced a Windows Phone app in November and it isn't out yet. The following appears to be a 3rd party app that will work to get things from a Windows phone to Dropbox and may be worth investigating: http://betanews.com/2014/03/06/theres-finally-a-great-dropbox-client-for-windows -phone/

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

  • How do I transfer files from my old iMac to my new Pro laptop?

    How do I transfer files from my old iMac to my new Pro laptop?

    If you can get both computers on the Internet at the same time without re-cabling, you have the connection infrastructure needed to enable file sharing and share those files.
    That said, many users find it easier to use FireWire Target Disk mode to treat the old computer as a big Hard drive, and just drag and drop the files, or use Migration Assistant or Setup Assistent.
    There is a really good guide here:
