Welcome to the discussions,
A manual backup will help. Here's how to:
Make sure your computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
After that, don't forget to include iTunes into your backup routine: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382

I am switching jobs, iTunes is on my old computer - can I move my music to a new computer? how?

I've been at my current job for over 8 years. I have iTunes installed on my work computer, and now I am leaving. I have an iPad at home - I think my husband already has his iTunes account set up on that though. I'd like to get access to all the music I've purchased through the years on the iPad or my new work computer - is this even possible? Please let me know what to do.
Thanks!

You can backup your iTunes library to an external drive and onto a new computer

How Can I move my Photoshop into a new computer?

My laptop broke down. I downloaded my Photoshop from web. How can I move my Photoshop into my new laptop? I have an electronic receipt and my serial number.

Thanks for asking this, it will be great reference.
I am curious though, because I know photoshop CC has a 2 computer installation limit. If my first computer broke down before I can attempt to deinstall photoshop and install it in a new computer, does that mean I have lost 1 installation limit for photoshop?

How can I move my contact list to new ID account and question about updating iOS

How can I move my contact list to new ID account?
And should I update my iOS system ?

Hello Godde
Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

My old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac can I use my cs4 with my new computer?

MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?

Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

i download itunes to my dell so i could use my new ipad. can i move music form windows media player to itunes

You can import media to iTunes via File > Add Files/Folders to Library.

I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer. The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen. I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

I cannot connet to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer. I cannot find the name of the other computer in the "Library" box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen. Do I need to have the other computer connected to the Cloud?

Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

I got a new computer, can't move library of old computer to new one

how do i do this
Message was edited by: Bojangles458

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another? The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.

Can i move iWeb site control from one computer to another?

We hired someone to create a website for our company. He created it using iWeb on his computer and now is no longer with the company. How can I move the control of this website to the iWeb application on my computer so that I can manage the site?

Yes. All you need to do is copy the Domain.sites file that's located in the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on his Mac to the same folder on your Mac.
Also be sure to keep an ongoing backup copy of that file on a volume other than your Mac, i.e. an external HD, a flash drive, etc. You lose it and you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch.
If you're hosting your website on MobileMe be aware that MMe will be discontinued on June 30th of this year. With that in mind this may be of interest to you: Life After MobileMe.

How can I move PSE 7.0 from one computer to another without a disc?

I had PSE 7.0 on an old laptop. I bought a new one and cannot find my old installation disc. How can I move it from one PC to another? I have not been able to get to the Adobr support center.

You do not want to move Adobe applications between machines. Download and install the application.

I puchased a new laptop can i move CS6 to the new system?

how can i move CS6 to a new system

You do not want to try to move it. Just install it like you did the first time. You are allowed to have two activated installations so there is no need to deactivate and uninstall on the original machine - though you can if you choose to. If you need to download to install you might find a link thru your Adobe account online if you purchased it from Adobe. You can also download thru the following page:
