  • How do I preserve my iPads and iPhones settings and apps on a new computer?

    I want to wipe my computer and install a fresh version of the lion operating system. The only thing I want preserved are my iTunes library and preferences, and my iPhoto library and preferences. Basically, I want my iPhone and iPad to be able to sync on this new operating system and still have the exact same home screen layouts, app preferences, and music files. I have my iPhone and iPad backing up on iCloud now but I don't know if that backs up app documents too.
    If somebody could enlighten me on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :-)

    Download the trial version from the Adobe website.
    Install then enter your serial number to license it on your computer.

  • How can I move my catalog and pictures to a new computer?

    I'm using PSE 6 under XP.  I want to install PSE 8 on a new Win 7 computer.  How can I move all my pictures and my currnet catalog to the new computer?
    Thanks,

    Install PSE 8 on the old computer and convert your catalog to PSE 8 format there.  Then use the backup/restore method in PSE 8 to move the catalog and photos to the new computer.  See these FAQs for details:

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • TS3682 i had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, i installed iTunes but i couldnt sync with my iTunes it didnt see the iPhone, i got a new iPhone 5C and up dated it via iCloud and still my computer will no sync with the phone, again it fails to see it

    Hi
    I had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, I installed iTunes to it but my new computer refused to sync with my phone, i backed up my phone via icloud and purchased tracks etc from iTunes, but now i have a new iPhone 5C and I backed it up via the icloud, not all data was transfered, music etc.
    Again my computer will not sync with the new phone, it doesnt see the phone within my libary, doesn't give an option to do any thing with phone
    Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • I have an Iphone 3G and have bought a new computer.

    How do I port over my Iphone and its content to the new computer? For some reason it does not appear to be straight forward as I would think it would be

    Using a windows PC you will need to Install iTunes on the new machine, Authorise the copy of iTunes on your new computer.
    Then copy the information Music/Movies etc... from the old one onto the new one by CD/DVD/EX-HDD etc...
    Make sure you have one contact in the Address book and Contact list on your new machine.
    Then connect the iPhone, it will give you a warning about deleting all the information on the device this is fine assuming you have transferred all your music and everything across properly prior to this.
    When it comes to syncing contacts/calendars make sure to choose the Merge option so it combines the contacts and calendars on the new computer with those on the iPhone meaning you don't lose any of this information 9which is whay it is important to have those bogus contacts which you can delete later)

    P.S.
    I think on that link to the thread supplied i was talking about transferring it over on Mac computers so the migration assistant and stuff doesn't apply here.
    Note:
    As with anything on a computer i would recommend you also backup all your information before hand in case the you know what hits the fan, just so your covered.
    Oh and if your not going to use your old computer and the iTunes copy on it remembering you can only sync the iPhone to one iTunes library at a time remember to de-authorise the old machine after everythings been synced up properly on your new machine

  • Transferring iPhone 4 and to iTunes on new computer

    I have new laptop. My iTunes was originally setup on my desktop where I connected my iPhone.
    When I connect my iPhone4 to that new iTunes on my laptop will the data from that iPhone transfer to iTunes on my new computer?

    Music purchased on the iPhone can be transferred to the computer, but ripped music that was copied to the phone cannot be. Also, playlists created on the computer will not be copied back.

  • How can I move my preferences and extensions to a new computer? Have I done it successfully?

    My old computer crashed. I've set up the new computer. I copied all the profile files/folders to the profile on the new computer in both the local and roaming folders.
    Does this copy over my preferences and extensions? The help pages say they don't tell how to copy those since they can be the cause of problems. However, they weren't problems. So I want them copied. The extensions folder on the old computer was empty (I don't recall if It'd had any installed or just bookmarked some.) I remember making some specific preferences changes in that "advanced" file (that worked fine afterward.)
    So with what I did, did I successfully copy everything over? If not - where are the extensions and preferences so that I can copy them over?
    Bonus big question - is there a way to merge my old browsing history with the history on the new computer that I used for 10 days? Right now I set those 10 days as a separate profile, so I can save and go check it if I really need to.
    Thanks!

    Take the good profile and copy it to the new computer. Also copy all
    of your add-ons. On the new computer, start Firefox. Once it is running,
    shut it down. Then transfer the information from the old profile to the new.
    Thess add-ons can save all add-ons into a single folder for transfer.
    These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
    FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
    Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
    In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild

    It will also make backup of files that you choose.

  • How do I move my trial and catalogue to a new computer?

    I have 18 days left on my Lightroom 5 trial.  I'm now using a new computer.  How do I access my trial and catalogue?  Thanks.

    You can't move trials and you shouldn't attempt to move non-trials.... installing is the way to go to help insure proper performance.
    If the trial is currently on your older machine, then it has the 18 days left.  If you install the trial on your new machine you are likely to have 30 days left.

  • How do I move my ipod and music to a new computer?

    I just bought a macbook pro and I need to move my music and my iPod to the new Mac. When I tried to sync my ipod to the Mac it told me it was going to erase the iPod.
    How do I move my Music and have my iPod sync with the new computer?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple support and they will help you do it.

  • I want to transfer my library and all of the settings and playlists to my new computer

    I am interested in moving my entire library from one PC to another.  I want to keep all of my playlists and settings (ratings) so I don't have to do them again.  I have an external drive and have followed all of the steps from itunes four seperate times.  I can move the library, but none of the settings or playlist transfer.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

  • I received my new Iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset.  It has been working fine until today when I deletec all my contacts from my old handset.  Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back?

    I received my new iphone 6 last week, backed my iphone 5 and then restored my new handset.  It has been working fine until today when I deleted all my contacts from my old handset.  Contacts have gone from my new handset too, how do I get them back?  I don't think the back up was done using icloud as I keep getting the message "not enough memory"

    The point is not whether you used iTunes or iCloud to restore your new iPhone. It's whether you have Contacts turned on in Settings > ICloud. If you do on both your old iPhone and new iPhone then those devices are connected through iCloud. Deletions on one device are also made on the other.
    You may be able to restore your Contacts be using your old device backup to restore your new iPhone again. Make sure that you turn Off ICloud functionality on your old iPhone before you delete anything else from it.

  • Can I backup my iTune music library to an external drive and install on a new computer?

    Can I backup my iTune library to an external drive and reinstall on a new computer? To use disks I need 29 to do this.

    Hi Niel.  Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy?   1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library?  2 - How do you organize the library?  3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs?  Thanks
