Can i transfer my backup to another computer and then restore my backup

can i transfer my backup to another computer and then restore my backup

Yes.  However, the backup file does not necessarily contain everything on your device (music, some purchases, some photos) so you want to make sure all items are backed up and transferred for safekeeping first.

You will need to copy the backup file from one computer to another:

    can i transfer pse 11 to another computer?

    Hi GederGenealogy,
    A retail version of the software is good to install on 2 computers as per the End User License Agreement.
    If you wish to transfer the license you need to deactivate the software first by launching the software, go to the 'help' menu and select 'Deactivate'.
    You can then install the software on the new machine and use the serial number to activate it.

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • Can't transfer e-book to another computer

    I'm using Windows Vista, Adobe Digital Editions v 1.5, I purchased an ebook online, and I'm trying to transfer the ebook to another computer for printing. I followed all the instructions online for transferring ebooks, and logged onto the other computer's ADE with the same account, but I keep getting the error "Document is not Licensed for this Device Type".
    We've already called the customer service and they didn't provide any help.
    Can anyone help please? Thank you very much in advance.

    I am having a related problem. My laptop with 100 purchsed ebooks on it died.  I bought a new laptop, copied all my files from backups, downloaded Adobe Digital which would NOT recognize my email/password and therefor will not open the library.
    The most important part of the library is professional texts that I need access to.
    Although this must be a daily occurrence Adobe have not been able to help (shall I say.. "yet").  I tried to redownload the books from the purchase site but they also will not open.. and with all the hassle I have now exceeded download limits.
    This seems the most simple of problems but I have been two weeks without the documents.
    The terms of use from the download site required me to use Adobe, they charged full price for the ebooks and the books are now not usable.

  • How can I transfer my itunes to another computer

    I need to transfer my Ipad Itunes data to my laptop from my PC so I can take BOTH into the apple store to get some hlep from the people that know a lot more than I do. I've got videos and music plus apps.
    I'm really new to this.

    there might be something better now, but a few years ago i downloaded a free application called tinkertool, using that with your ipod plugged in check the "show hidden folders" box in the finder tab, hit refresh finder and then your ipod should show up on your desktop and you should be able to open the folder up and transfer all your data from the ipod. hopes this helps as a starting point at least

  • Can I backup one iPad to another temporarily and then restore them both at a later time?

    My older son is autistic and is non-verbal.  He uses his iPad to communicate with people around him.  I need to put his iPad into the shop to get the screen repaired.  I have made backups of both, my iPad and his.  Can I restore my iPad using his backup to make mine look like his, so he can borrow mine while his is in the shop, and then when his is repaired, restore mine to my backup?  Both iPads are iPad 2, and both have the latest IOS.  Both are also 64 GB.
    Thank you for the help.

    If you have a computer, yes you can do that. You can't back them up to each other though.
    Using a computer (presuming you set it up with one, if you didn't then it gets trickier), back up yours. then go into the settings, reset, erase all content and settings, which puts it back to being straight out of the box. Hook his up, do a full back up. Unplug it. Plug yours back in and set yours up, and when you have the choice to set up as new or restore from backup, choose that and his data will clone onto yours.
    Take his in, when you get it back, it should be wiped, restore it from the backup of his and you can then wipe yours and restore yours from the backup
    But how are you getting it fixed? If it's going to an apple store and you're getting an out of warranty replacement, you won't need to do that because you'll take it in, pay the fee, walk out with the replacement and you can then restore that one from the backup, so you'd have no need to juggle the data.....unless you're mailing it in and it'll take a few days, etc.

  • Moving iphone/itunes to another computer and then back again

    I'm on travel and want to add more podcasts to my 1st generation iPhone which is nearly full. I have a backup at home so I thought I would just reformat and then link to my Macbook Air while on travel overseas. However, iTunes said that I had to have a network connection which is a problem since I have an ethernet connection and the iPhone doesn't like the simple USB hub that I have. I suppose I can figure this out but my question is: when I return home can I restore with a backup on my home computer so I don't have to re-install a bunch of apps?
    BTW, it's rather strange that I can't reformat an iPhone without being connected online. This is trivial to do on an iPod.
    Thanks

    All media content will be erased when you sync to a different computer. You can transfer your purchases and backup manually before you sync. To do this, disable autosync in itunes, connect the phone and right click on it in the device list. Choose "Backup" and "Transfer purchases"
    After your phone got erased, restore from that backup. See what the backup contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Music is not part of the backup, but if you bought it in the Store, you where able to transfer it from the phone to the computer when you transferred your purchases.

  • How do I purchase/download/transfer old songs to new computer and then purchase new songs and view/edit items from library?

    I have a nano ipod, I no longer have the email I used to purchase and download all songs I want to purchase new songs from a new laptop with a gmail address, how can I do this? I am not sure what to do when it asks me if I want transfer and erase? I do not want to lose any itunes library of songs already purchased on old computer and old email address.
    Thanks Gina

    You can transfer the older purchases from your Nano to your new PC by choosing File -> Transfer purchases with the nano plugged in and appearing in iTunes.   You'll need to authorize your account with the older Apple ID and credentials.

  • I'm trying to transfer Adobe 7 to another computer and can't deactivate; server is unavailable, message says to call but phone support is disabled.

    If they would just say "we don't support that version - at all" I could swallow it and move on, but the message is that the server is unavailable for technical reasons.  7 is just fine for me...anyone get through this successfully/any ideas?

    they don't support that version, at all.  the servers are permanently offline.

  • How do I transfer my music to another computer and keep ratings

    Is there a way to transfer my library from windows machine to windows machine and keep the ratings, play count, play history, etc the same?
    Thank you

    Well getting the library on both places is fairly easy. Hook up both computer together with a Firewire cable assuming they are both Macs. Boot one while holding down the T key which should put it in Target mode. Boot the other and the Target mode computer's hard drive will show up on the other computer's desktop as an external drive.
    Now you can copy the iTunes folder from the desktop to the Laptop's drive overwriting (assuming nothing is in the one you are overwriting you need to keep).
    Later when you run the laptop's iTunes, the library should show up the same as on the desktop.
