Got A New Computer - How to Transfer it all

Well I really didn't get a new computer, but I dual boot Windows XP and Windows 7. What I have always sync'd my iPhone on Windows XP but I'd like to move it to 7 now. My questions is if I move all my stuff to Windows 7 will iTunes think I'm on a whole new computer and my licenses might not transfer? Aren't licenses for movies and music for only so many computers?
Thanks for the help guys!

More than likely it will count as two computers, which doesn't make any difference - not unless you have 4 other computers that you need or want to authorize with your iTunes account leaving you one short. You can always de-authorize an authorized computer when switching from one to another especially when you already have 5 computers authorized. If you forgot to de-authorize a computer before selling it or giving it to someone else or before an authorized computer has a failure that prevents you from using it and de-authorizing it, once you reach 5 authorized computers, you can de-authorize all followed by re-authorizing the computers you are currently using with the same iTunes account. It is 5 authorized computers for a lifetime - only 5 computers can be authorized with the same iTunes account at a time.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

    I just got a new computer, how do I move my music from my ipod to my computer

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    authorize iTunes on your new machine for your iTunes store account(s). connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

    I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

    For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't.  The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer.  You could e-mail them to yourself.  They will not be of the original resolution.
    For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

  • I got a new computer- how do I avoid losing contacts/texts on a new sync?

    Hi everyone.
    I got a new computer for the holidays. I've Googled articles all night and have still not found the answer I'm looking for. I even called Apple and they couldn't help. Or maybe the service representative was just a dud. Anyway, the issue is that I get the "erase and sync" option when I attempt to sync my iPhone to my new computer. All I am worried about saving are contacts, texts, and apps. I don't have music on my phone. So, here are my concerns:
    1.) Contacts- they are saved to my Google Contacts. However, I use Google Sync. So, if I erase the data on my phone, wouldn't my Google Contacts be history?
    2.) Texts- Can these even transfer over somehow?
    3.) Apps- I did the "transfer purchases" option but only some of the apps came over to my new system. Some of them were paid apps and some were free, so I can't even figure that one out.
    4.) Backup- Yes, I have backed up my iPhone to my old computer. But, once I do any kind of syncing to the new computer, if I needed to utilize my backup, how would I do it since the backup would exist on the old system?
    ANY help would be much appreciated. I'm ready to pull my hair out!
    Thanks!

    1.) Contacts- they are saved to my Google Contacts. However, I use Google Sync. So, if I erase the data on my phone, wouldn't my Google Contacts be history?
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer.
    2.) Texts- Can these even transfer over somehow?
    Texts are also included with your iPhone's backup.
    3.) Apps- I did the "transfer purchases" option but only some of the apps came over to my new system. Some of them were paid apps and some were free, so I can't even figure that one out.
    Did you authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. You can transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with any other data that you will need or want to access on your new computer. If not, you can re-download an app with iTunes on your new computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
    4.) Backup- Yes, I have backed up my iPhone to my old computer. But, once I do any kind of syncing to the new computer, if I needed to utilize my backup, how would I do it since the backup would exist on the old system?
    With your iPhone connected to iTunes on your new computer, right-click (Windows) on your iPhone in the iTunes source list (control-click with a Mac) and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. This does not erase anything else on the iPhone including texts and contacts. Contacts on the iPhone won't be touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported application on your computer.

  • I have an Ipod touch but I just got a new computer, how do I get my music from my ipod onto my new computer?

    I just got a new computer and I want to transfer my music from my ipod touch to my new pc....how can I do this?

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
