Apps Not Recognized On New Computer

New Windows PC.
I copied the iTunes files from the old PC. The iTunes on the new PC recognizes the music and artwork. No problem there.
However, although I copied the "Mobile Applications" folder from the old PC to the new PC, the Apps do not appear in iTunes on the new PC.
I don't want to connect my iPhone and lose the Apps in synch.
What do I do to ensure the apps get recognized?
Thank you in advance.

You should be able to:
Disable automatic syncing of devices (Edit > Preferences > Devices)
Backup the device to the new installation (Right-click device > Back Up)
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in the apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • ITunes is not recognizing my new computer and not allowing me to download my music that I already purchased even though it recognizes my registered iPod.

    I got a new computer and downloaded iTunes. When I tried to download music that I already purchased I got a message that my computer was not authorized although my iPod was plugged in and it was recognized. I don't see anywhere that I can register my new computer. Can someone help me?

    Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
    I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

    BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
    I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
    UPDATE
    I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

  • New ipod video not recognized by my computer at all

    i have an ipod mini and itunes on my windows xp computer. i just bought the new ipod video that it is not recognized by my computer at all. i plug it in and the entire computer freezes. if i plug in my mini everything works fine.
    i have tried updating/uninstalling my new ipod video. i am worried that if i uninstall itunes that i will lose my purchased music.
    does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do? does anyone have the same problem as me? i really want to start using my new ipod help please.

    I assume you have installed the iPod driver, before connecting the 5G iPod. It is possible the device driver for the mini is different, and thus confusing your computer. The iPod driver is on the CD that came with your 5G iPod (iPod with Video)

  • I have a new Nano and I get a message that says the USB device is not recognized by my computer and I cannot set it up.

    I have a new IPod Nano and when trying to connect to my PC for the first time I get a fault message that says the "USB Device is not recognized by my computer. I have several other IPod devices and have never had this problem. When I go to windows explorer, the device does not show at all, so I cannot manually open it.

  • My computer is not recognizing my new shuffle

    Hi,
    My computer is not recognizing my new shuffle and not syncing with it.  I had a shuffle before and it just automatically synced.  No little ding ding recognition of new hardware sound, no nothing.  Help
    thanks

    I had the exact same problem.  Then I called for support.  I felt like an idiot when I got the solution.  Unplug your Ipod shuffle from the computer.  Then unplug the power cord from the shuffle. Now replug it into the shuffle.  Push very hard.  You should hear a click sound.  Now try plugging it into your computer again.  I hope this helps you.

    Apple - Support - iPhone - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
    If  the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant,  continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved  after each section.
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. iTunes 10 and later requires Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later.

  • My iPod classic is not recognized by my computer or iTunes

    My iPod is not recognized by my computer or iTunes. It worked fine a few months ago but now it doesn't even sync. I tried everything from turning it on/off, reinstalling iTunes, checking the connectivity issues and etc. After going through the connectivity test the only thing I found odd was that it said that the iPod classic running firmware 1.1.2 is not connected. Could that be the issue? And if so, how can I get that firmware running again?

    I have the same issue with my ipod classic, and have gone through these steps. However, when i come to the step where it says to reinstall: "
    Next, open the new version of iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer.
    Select your iPod in the source list and click "Check for Update" under the Summary tab.   iTunes will check to see if your iPod needs to be updated and perform the update for you. "
    there is no ipod listed in the source list to check for any updates under the summary tab. Itunes just DOES NOT see the ipod at all. And this is where I am stuck....further instructions PLEASE!!! Thank you....
