I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?
Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers. -
I need to synch mt iphone to a new computer
how do i un-synch my iphone from one computer and re-synch it? please!! lol
Install the latest iTunes program version on the intended new computer.
In iTunes you can go into the 'Store' tab in the top menu bar (Mac OS X) and choose 'Authorize This Computer' for the new computer and likewise 'Deauthorize This Computer' for the old computer. However unless I'm mistaken, you can authorize up to 5 computers with one iTunes account therefore more than one is allowed.
Important:
I would do a final iPhone Backup & Sync first. Then disconnect iPhone
Then wherever the iTunes Media folder is kept (which for Mac is the folder called iTunes within the Home User folder>Music folder> 'iTunes', copy this same folder to the new computer within the same location (if Mac), replacing any standard iTunes media folder which is created for first time use. By doing this you will be keeping all your iTunes media, songs, Apps, etc.
Run iTunes on the new computer and Authorize (as mentioned above from the Store menu tab) with your account details. Exit iTunes.
Now, not a lot of people would mention this, go into the following folder on the old computer:
Home User folder>Library>Application Support>MobileSync and then copy the folder named 'Backup' within to the exact same location on the new computer (for Mac computers). By doing this you are copying your iPhone's own backup data over to the new computer. The iPhone's backup data contains all data on your iPhone including things like all your Text message, App's user data i.e. App game saves and progression, etc.
Now run iTunes on the new computer and check to see all of your Music, Apps, etc. are all present and ok.
Connect your iPhone and try syncing but don't backup iPhone just yet and uncheck to stop iPhone automatically backing-up. You don't want to overwrite the iPhone backup that you've copied over from the old computer which is now sitting in the appropriate folder in the new computer, just in case there's problems and you need it clean. If your sync worked fine just like on the old computer with all the current info intact on the iPhone and in iTunes, then your all good to go. If the data on the iphone has changed, i.e. it has sync'd the music, apps, etc. but have lots App data and text messages and other settings; then perform an iPhone restore when connecting to iTunes and use the last backup (date and time) that you made from the old computer.
If there are problems then you still have iTunes and it's Media files kept for now on the old computer to resort to, until you succeed.
If all above went well, then you can Deauthorize iTunes on the old computer and your good to go. Try and keep separate backups of your iTunes media folder & iPhone Backup folder.
Hope that helps, but please do get a second opinion in case I have got anything wrong and/or at least keep backups of those folders I mentioned.

HT1386 Synching multiple iPhones on one computer
How do I synch multiple iphones on one computer. Last time I tried, I wiped out the contacts on one of the phones, so I want to be sure not to do this again. I don't want to wipe out any data on either of the phones (contacts, music, etc). I also am not sure what iphone I have, I've looked in settings and can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
I understand that. What is the purpose of synching then? Maybe I should have said I want to share music between the devices, but that is all. And I don't want to wipe out any of the music on one of the phones, which is what happened last time I tried to synch.

When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why? I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.
1. set up as new
2. transfer you wife's purchases.
3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.
Enjoy. -

Launch iTunes on your new computer.

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.
Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish. -
i plugged my iphone into my computer for the first time to charge it and was in a hurry and walked away, when i returned the add apple i tunes account information screen was up.....
my problem is, all my pictures got deleted from my phone, all my contacts got deleted also......weird thing is it put pictures on my phone from another phone and also txt msg from another phone...... has this ever happened to anyone else? if so,....do you know how, or where the pictures got moved to? and if they were deleted, is there a way to pull deleted pictures form a phones memory?? thank you any body that can give me any assistance....i really need it...It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it. -

Do I need to reinstall everything to use a computer for a paid membership after using it for a trial under a different account? The programs say "start trial" or "trial ended" or "buy" next to them even after I sign in with my membership and then download them.
Hi Marcella,
You need not re-install your applications. Just activate your creative cloud license by signing out of the Creative cloud application and then sign back in.
Please refer to the help document below for the steps:

Laptop died. need to make my Mac the "home" computer for my iPad & iPhone
My iPhone & iPad were initially set up on a Windows laptop, which has since died. How do I go about making an iMac be the "home" computer for these devices, so that they will be backed up when I sync?
Excellent question. I am trying to find out the same answer for my iTouch. If I get a helpful answer, I will try to let you know if you haven't already found out since March!
And if you DID get an answer that worked, could you let me know?
Thank you!
