Bought new computer. How do I transfer my account to my new computer?

I have an older lap top that has my itunes account and playlist. How can I transfer it to the new lap top I just bought? I have Windows 7

Install itunes on the new laptop, first.
You can log into the itunes store and start using your account at any time - there isn't really any "transfer" going on, for that part.
You do need to transfer the music files and the itunes database, though. Do that the same way you are transferring over other stuff like digital photos, browser bookmarks, etc. I've used my home network in the past when we've gotten a new PC.
For itunes, the important folder is C:\....\iTunes. Just replace that folder on the new machine with the iTunes folder (and all its subfolders) from the old machine.
Have a look at the new PC's preferences to make sure they're set up correctly, and don't forget to deauthorize your old PC if you're getting rid of it. And....don't get rid of it until you are sure you have everything set up like you want!

How do I transfer my account To my new ipad?

I have a new Mini/Retina that I want to replace my iPad 2 with. I want to use my same old AT&T account for cellular/data connection, so how do I transfer my account To my new iPad?
The guy at the AT&T store (where I bought the Mini) said I would have to start it as a backup from the old machine, and I might have to switch SIM cards (believable), but there must be more to it than that. At what point shoud I shut off the old iPad account? If I do it at the wrong time it seems like there should be a conflict (perhaps the SIM card). Is there a procedure posted anywhere? (He also gave me a 1-800 number to call for help - so I suspect I'll need it. But you guys are so good, I'll start here.)
TIA

If your iPad 2 has a newer iOS version than your new iPad Air then you'll need to update the iPad Air to newest iOS before you can restore it from the iPad 2's backup. Its conceivable that being in the store the new iPad air does not have the most recent iOS installed.
Anyway as to the AT&T service. you should not have to anything on the old iPad.
Simply remove the sim card, go to your AT&T store and ask for a new sim that fits your new iPad with your current service on it. Then simply insert the new sim card into the new iPad. In the process of setting up the new sim card, the old one will be deactivated by AT&T.
Without a sim card the old iPad will have no cell service.

1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.

If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

My iPad was stolen and I want to know how I can deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new iPad

Hi there My i Pad was stolen and I would like to know how do I deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new i Pad Thanks Linda

If you enabled the "Find My iDevice" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, log into iCloud and deactivate it. If you did not, there is nothing that can be done.
As for the content, it should all be on your computer, simply connect the new iPad and sync what you would like to the device.

I bought ipad 2. how do i transfer my data from ipad 1 to new ipad

I bought a ipad 2. How do I transfer all my data from my "old" ipad to my new one before I sell it?

You should be able to do a backup of your old iPad via your computer's iTunes, and then restore your new iPad from that backup - depending on how much content you've got on the old iPad it may take a little while to backup and then restore. As the backup contains app's data/settings but not the apps themselves, I think that you need to have a copy of your apps on your computer's iTunes - if the restore can't install an app then it can't copy its settings/data.
When you're sure that the data has been copied over correctly then you can clear the old iPad via Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings

My iPad is registered in New Zealand, and I'm how in Mexico. How do I transfer my account to Mexico so I can download the right apps ?

I've moved to Mexico for 6 months, and am trying to download the netflix App, which isn't available in New Zealand. I'm told by. Netflix I need to contact Aple to transfer my account from NZ to Mexico so this app download is possible, but cannot contact Apple to get this done.

I had an acct through work which was my employers email. I have since left and created a gmail for my personal. My iPhone 5c accesses my gmail for iTunes but my iPad is still linked to my employer email I'd #. ??

Hopefully you haven't created a new Apple ID. You should just change the email address associated with your Apple ID.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
Because if you made a new Apple ID you're screwed.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

How do I transfer my account from my old computer to my new computer for Adobe Creative Design Suite?

how do I

You do not want to try to transfer anything. Install the software on the new machine the same way you did on the original. You can keep the original installation if you would like to have a backup available. If not, then you should deactivate the old installation by opening one of the applications and choose Help -> Deactivate.
If you do not own discs for the software, you can probably find downloads thru the following web page:

I am giving my earlier model IPAD to a friend and want to remove my account info from the old Ipad and transnfer it to the new Ipad2. How do I do this?

the previous answers are accurate, but to make sure everything you want is moved over.
1. connect your old ipad

b. right click on your ipad's name (under devices on the left column in itunes) and select backup
c. sync your information (if you havn't allready done so)
d. here is the choice you have, either select the restore in the summary tab (center of itunes) and restore as new, or select on the ipad (settings - general - reset - reset all settings, then erase content) - make sure to not let it sync after restore by slide to cancel sync. verify the information is gone by going to the
settings - store - (should be no itunes account showing)
2. new ipad, after setting up your wifi or 3g connection which ever applies go to settings - store - sign in.
a. restore the ipad2 from the backup of the ipad (update if required ipad2 ios version must be same or higher then ipad ios version)
b. sync your apps/music/itunes content to your device.
c. verify mail settings/other personal information/configurations
d. enjoy
