Welcome to the Apple Community.
Pis your content purchased, do you have a back up.

  • Can I use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices? We're afraid we're going to wipeout one library or the other if we do??

    My son got an iPhone and wanted his own iTunes account. Now his computer died, and he wants to connect to his iTunes account on my computer. When it asks to sync the computer, a message comes up and we're afraid either his or my library are going to be wiped out by trying to do this. Is it possible to use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices without wiping out one of the libraries? Thanks for any info.

    If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out

    No reason it shouldn't as WiFi is the same anywhere.

  • My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

    I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

    To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
    ...  The PC she synced with is dead
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
    If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
    All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
    There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

    Yeah, you fried the phone big time.

  • Clearin data from my old G4 onto my new computer so I can donate it

    How do I transfer all the data from my old G4 onto my new power mac? I want to donate the old one but wnat everything on it to be moved onto my new computer.
    Is there a way to then clear the old one before donating it?

    What model is your new Mac? Migration assistant is usually the standard means for going from one computer to another, but there are a few caveats.

    It Copies your Home Directory onto the New Computer, so the new one will start up with all your old data in its rightful place.
    Mail data transfers, Documents, Preferences, etc...stuff like that. It wont delete them from the old computer.

    To clear the old drive you should boot to the installer disc and run Disk Utility. Erase the drive with write zeros once selected in the security options. This overwrites the data and makes it hard to recover without very special and costly drive analysis. You can write more than once but unless you have very secret data once should be enough. More times takes much, much longer and I believe the highest option might take days, depending upon the drive size.
    Make sure you include the discs that came with the computer to the seller. They will need them to install the OS and for computer hardware testing. If you intend to give them a newer operating system you should give them the newer discs as well. Any operating system on the computer should come with a set of discs for licensing purposes and for use in repairing the drive should problems arise.

  • How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

    My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
    I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

    I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

    No.
    You can purchase ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

    Turn on iTunes home sharing. Then on the computer that you need to add music to just go the library with the files and drag and drop.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620
