Hey there, I recently got myself a new MacBook, but I don't want to put all the information I had on my old one on my new MacBook. So I gotta ask, can I back up my new MacBook without deleting all the information from my other MacBook?

How can I access the information on time capsule? Im sorry about asking, but I never tried before.

Your new MB will create a new backup sparsebundle.. the old one will not be touch.
You can restore just the files and directories you want by doing a manual type restore.

There is also info in the faq about restoring to a different Mac.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs.  I also have a new laptop.  I have tons of music on my old laptop.  I want to transfer the music from my old laptop to my new laptop, but I don't want the music actually on my new computer.  Is there a way to have the music in iCloud?

    I am wanting to have my music available to me, but not actually on the new laptop (like my iPhone is set up to do).  I suppose I am wanting to know if I can transfer, or authorize my new laptop to have all of my music in iCloud, but not actually in iTunes on the laptop?  I want it available to me, but I have over 7000 songs and I don't want to use all the room on my new laptop.  Can someone please help?

  • I smashed my screen and need a swap out. I signed the authorisation form and they're ordering a new phone, but I don't want to swap?

    A week ago I dropped my iPhone 5 and the screen shattered. I went to the apple store twice and was screwed around with wrong information about prices and the extent of the damage, eventually I was told that they can't replace the display and I will need a replacement/swap. My phone is out of warranty and I only have three months left on my contract plan. They have to order in the part and I did sign the authorisation form for store work, and in a week I have to go back so they can do the work. In short, I am wondering if I am able to back out of the replacement, or if signing that form (without any work actually being done) means I'll have to pay the $330.
    Is there anything in the repair terms and conditions that says because they've ordered the part in I have to pay for it? (from what I understand they ordered a standard iPhone 5 because there were no more in stock).
    I really don't want to pay $330 for something that I can live with for three months.

    Call the store and cancel, they will tell you if you can't.

  • I had older ipod shuffles and purchased a bunch of songs and just bought the new ipod shuffle because other broke.  Looking to get the songs I had on my old one but was under and email I no longer have and don't remember password. How do I access?

    I had older ipod shuffle that broke and purchased over two hundred in songs and dont have that email and dont remember password. I just bought the new shuffle and want to see how I can access those songs without having to pay for them again.

    You'll need to contact Apple then for help on resetting some of that account information.

  • I want to keep my pinned sites on my new tab, but I don't want history to show up.

    When I open a new tab I have favorite sites pinned.
    However, random tabs from my history also start to show.
    I only want to see the pinned sites and not the history. However, I want to keep my history stored, just not on a new tab.
    Is there a way to accomplish this?

    The function of the '''New Tabs''' page is to display the sites you go to
    the most. You can '''Pin''' the ones you want in place, but that's all.
    Are you pinning at position 1, 2, 3 or just pinning where it was?

  • I'd like to install itunes on new laptop but I don't want to lose actual icon position on my iphone

    I'd like to install itunes on a new laptop. Last year I did this operation and when I syncronized my iphone I lost the icon position and custom app folder. I didn't lose the personal data. How can I do?

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • HT1364 I recently got a new laptop but I can't retrieve my iTunes folder from my old pc, how do I get my library on my new laptop as I don't want to set up a new one.

    I recently had to buy a new laptop as my pc no longer worked.  I can't get my iTunes media folder off my old pc so how do I get my library onto my new laptop as I don't want to create a new library and erase everything off my iPhone.

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

  • Hi, I have recently got myself a second hand computer MAC OS X Version 10.4.11,Processor 800 MHz PowerPC G4. Have only used windows before. Unfortunately I managed to uninstall Adobe but now can't seem to reinstall as this an older computer

    Hi, I have recently got myself a second hand computer  MAC OS X Version 10.4.11,Processor 800 MHz PowerPC G4. Have only used windows before. Unfortunately I managed to uninstall Adobe but now can't seem to reinstall as this an older computer and is not compatible with the new versions. Sorry to sound thick but really have never used Apple before. Would really appreciate any help at all. Thanks..

    Windows or apple it makes no difference, if you don't have the install discs you can't install.
    Did you buy the machine with Adobe (you don't say what adobe program you're talking about) installed? If so the vendor should have given you the discs or else it's technically a pirated copy. If you're talking about acrobat (which is free) then you should be able to find older versions on the adobe site.

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    I want to delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.

  • HT1766 can I back up my new device with both icloud & itunes

    Can I restore my new device from both itunes and icloud ?

    You've asked 2 different questions.
    can i back up my new device with both icloud & itunes
    You can set it up to backup to iCloud. Once you've done this you can back it up to iTunes on your computer manually, so technically, yes. You can back it up to both.
    Can I restore my new device from both itunes and icloud ?
    If you have backed up a device to both, then you can restore either one. Restoring completely overwrites the contents of the phone, so if you restore it from iCloud, then restore it from iTunes, the data you restored from iCloud will be wiped from the phone and replaced with the data you restored from iTunes. The only way to initiate a restore from iCloud is to wipe the phone and start the iCloud restore from the setup wizard...
    Now, maybe you'd like to re-state your question so that you get the answer you're actually looking for instead of answers that correctly address what you asked, but do not address what you meant to ask.

  • HT5621 I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pi

    I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address?  I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

    To change it, you have delete the existing account.  However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

  • For Christmas I got a new computer after my other computer broke so I am wondering is there a way to sync my iPod touch that I already had with my new computer without deleting all my app data because I have over 200 hundred dollors of games

    I got a new computer for Christmas it is a gateway and I have downloaded iTunes on it I need  to know if there is a way that I can sync my iPod touch with my new computer without deleting all of my app data I don't have my old computer It crashed so u can't even turn it on

    You should be able to:
    Use Edit > Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Backup the device to the new computer.
    Transfer your iTunes purchases into a newly authorized library.
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
    Restore the device from the backup.
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps. When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
