? Brand New phone, same iTunes: How to transfer without losing apps/music
In preparation for a new device, is it possible to transfer all your apps, music, bookmarks from iTunes to your new device without losing your apps/music, etc? If so, how? What are the steps involved? For example, if you have an iPod Touch and want to "clone" the iPod Touch to your new device, say iPhone or another iPod Touch?
Are there any limits in transferring paid apps to multiple devices? How does one do this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Niel, I did this once before and so did others that I know. Guess what happened? We lost all our data on iTunes. Fortunately, I kept a backup of my iTunes folders.
I want to prevent this from happening again. I believe there is a "special" sequence one must follow to ensure this does not happen or was this fixed in future versions of iTunes?.

I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone. On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.
The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
You would sync it like you do everything else.

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro
You have two separate questions here...
To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches. -

Brand new iPad: ios 7 How to transfer email addresses from computer
I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I could not find exactly what I was looking for.
I just bought an iPad and updated the operating system. Previous questions about adding email addresses from computer to iPad mentioned goin to iTunes and then the index tab. I don't have an "iTunes" icon; I have "iTunes U" but there is no index tab there. I'm confused. Sorry for my computer-illiterateness.
And thanks to any responses.Hi Kathi in IL,
If you are having issues syncing your contacts to your new iPad, you may find the following article helpful:

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer. The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
How can I sync and retain both iTunes?Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?
You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.
