Transferring contacts/music/apps etc to new computer from iphone 3GS

Hi
My windows PC has just died and i am wondering how to transfer my iphone data (apps, calendar, music, photos) onto a new laptop (windows 7) into itunes without deleting anything
I have read threads which say how to tansfer itune purchases, but not all of my music has been purchased via itunes. Is there anyway of saving this music or will it be deleted.
Any help would be appreciaited because i could stand to lose 800 songs!

Transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup of your old PC before it died. That should contain everything that was in your iPhone regardless of where it came from. Your backup of your Oulook data will contain the contacts and calendars you synced with the iPhone via iTunes.

You do not.. the iPhone is not a backup device.
Copy the entire iTunes directory from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
Reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

Transferring iTunes music info onto a new computer

I know this question has been asked a zillion times:
I'm going to get a new computer. I want to transfer all my iTunes music info to the new computer.
I have about 4,000 songs. I've spent countless hours filling in what album each song comes from, what year released, album covers, etc.
How do I transfer this info to my new computer?
Someone please explain this to me step-by-step or send me a link to where I can get the info.

Don't confuse the _iTunes folder_ and the _iTunes music folder_.
1. Make sure external HDD is connected
2. Install iTunes on new computer
Correct.
3. Copy the old iTunes music folder in C:\docs & settings\ to the new computer
No.
Copy the _iTunes folder_ and everything in it to (/My Documents/My Music in XP) or (/Music/ in Vista). These are the default locations for the iTunes folder.
4.- Launch iTunes and immediately hold option to select existing library
Option is for Mac. Shift is for Windows.
If you copy the _iTunes folder_ to the above locations, you do not need to hold Shift. iTunes will use the default _iTunes folder_ in the above locations.
5. Set iTunes music dir to E:\ via Edit -> Preferences...
If _iTunes Music folder_ location on the old computer was set to use the external (E:\) you do not need to change anything. Make sure the external has the same drive letter as on the old computer.

What is the Proper Way to "Sync My Music & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"

What is the Proper Way for Me to "Sync My Music, Pictures & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"?
I had to buy a New Computer since my other one went out, but when I log into ITunes with the New Computer using My Apple ID "Nothing is there"...
None of My Previously Purchased Music or Apps are in My ITunes Media Library; so, I any not sure how to Properly Proceed with Syncing?
Any Help & Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Don

Sounds like something might be wrong there. Years ago I set up the playlists to sync to my iPhone and 'Everything' for my iPod and I've never needed to change or even check it since, ever.
However, how and why are you 'restoring' the iPod? This is not something you should ever need to do. If you restore back to original settings, then I guess that would throw away your own settings, but as I said, there should be no need to keep doing that. Or at all in fact.

Transferring the Pages app to a new computer

I purchased Pages with my macbook in 2010. I just now replaced that computer with a nice new macbook air, and I attempted to transfer the Pages application, along with the rest of iWork, to my new computer. Predictably, this did not work. When I went to open pages it told me that "Pages cannot open because of a problem... it may not work with this version of OsX."
So my question is simply, how can I make pages work? Is there a way to redownload the updated version of Pages without having to pay for it again?

Did you use a DVD to installPages or did you buy from the MacAppStore or did you buy iWork from Apple Store?

Cant upload new songs in iTunes from new computer onto iPhone 3gs

How do I upload new songs in my new iTunes from my mac to my iphone 3gs WITHOUT deleting or replacing all the old songs? My old computer crashed and I have no way of accessing those old songs but I dont want to loose all 509 songs. some were burnt from CDs i no longer have some were purchased through iTunes etc...help please! i really like my old music and just want to update it.

By 'rebooted' do you mean that you only rebooted it, or that you reinstalled its software ?
If rebooted then aare the songs still on your computer, just not in iTunes - by default your iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then File > Add To Library in iTunes should let you add it back.
If not then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases (including apps, films etc) back from your phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
For non-iTunes purchases (and for purchases if need be) there are some programs listed half-way down this page which can copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then add them to iTunes via File > Add To Library
If iTunes thinks that you are trying to sync the phone to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I share an apple ID with my husband but want my own now as I have new iPhone. How do I retain all my music/apps etc?

I have been sharing an apple ID with my husband for my iPad and iPhone however I now have a new iphone and have read that I should have my own ID. If I create one with my new phone, how I do transfer across all my contacts, music, apps etc from my previous phone/ID?

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

I had my iPhone 4S stolen last week and I am going to sync it to my computer to get everything back on it.
If it is stolen , how are you going to sync it?
You mean you got a new iPhone and you want to sync it to your computer?
Plug it in.
I know how to copy my music library to my new computer
New computer??? Or new iPhone?
I know how to copy my music library to my new computer but struggling with copying the contacts etc. Where do I find the contacts folder on my old computer?
I suggest you simply copy your entire User folder from old computer to new computer. This way all your data (Music, photos, contacts, emails, calendars, documents, etc.) goes across.

I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
good luck

TS2776 Updated iPhone software and lost all my contacts. Previous updates worked fine. Phone backed up, installed software and the music, apps etc, but no contacts. Have tried several times but no data at all. Any ideas?

Updated my iPhone with latest software and all my phone contacts have vanished. Phone backed up as normal, then installed software then re-installed music, apps etc, but no contacts.
Have updated software before with no issues. Have tried using tips from help page with no change - just a blank contact list.
Any ideas?

Sync via PC - Thought I'd backed up as it said it was backing up the phone. Having searched through here I see that the contacts aren't automatically saved! Why is that when everything else is?
Contacts are made to be synched to your computer or a cloud service. There is therefore no NEED to include them in your backup. Same reason iTunes media is not part of the backup. It's already on the computer.

Seems I've lost everything - Supposed to back up via Outlook address book I read - So why isn't that made obvious....?
Had you read the User Guide before using your phone, it would have been obvious.
Your data loss here is clearly user error and you have no one to blame but yourself. The User Guide CLEARLY outlines the way your phone should be used to minimize data loss.
Sorry, but it's time to put on your big boy pants and accept responsibility for your inactions.

We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? home sharing is not selected

We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.
