You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
You can also make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

Having trouble figuring out how to save the original photo after I've cropped it - i.e. I want to create a headshot of my husband from a photo of the two of us, but I also want to keep the original. Seems very basic, but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be great!
Use File >> Save As
Choose a different file name so as not to overwrite the original and don't save any changes when closing the original. -
How do I get my iPhone 4 to transfer purchases to a new computer?
I got a new computer (Windows) and I want to switch my iPhoneover so I don't have to use my old computer to sync anymore. I did the "backing up the original library and restoring it onto the new computer" thing, but that apparently didn't copy over all the songs that were in my library because I should have just over 1600, give or take a few that I bought on my phone and never transferred over to the computer, but it only lists 871 songs, and it refuses to transfer purchases from my iPhone saying "you need to authorize this computer." I authorized and deauthorized and reauthorized, but it still says it needs to be authorized. When i click authorize, at this point, it lets me go through authorization...only to tell me "this computer is already authorized."
I'm incredibly frustrated and am at my wits end. I cross-checked the songs that are on my computer to the ones that are on my actual phone and a lot of my absolute favorites aren't on my computer so I don't want to just sync it and lose them all, but I'd like to be able to sync my phone to my computer so that I can update and put some new audiobooks on it because I listen to a lot of audiobooks at my job.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
Plug the iPhone in.
In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's. -
Can't transfer purchases to a new computer
Hi -
1. I have a new pc.
2. I have an ipod touch
3. I transferred my old itunes library to my new computer, as I tyransferred and set up all of my old data
4. I also enabled a location for my itunes library in d:\data\Itunes, rather then C:\Users\My_Name <-- win7. This works ok for syncing, etc.
5. My new computer is auithorized
6. When I go to install the new version of IOS, it says your purchases have not been transferred to your computer. I have synced and backedup the ITouch.
7. When I go to trasnfer the purchases, I am told that the computer is not authorized.
I am very confused.
I am also confused about what syncing is, vs., backup, vs., transferring purchases.
Thank you in advance.Thank you very much for the link to the 'Resolution Page' for this Issue of not being able to Transfer Purchased Items to Itunes from a new pc.
The resolutions on the page were as follows
_Authorize your purchases from an administrator account_
I am administrator, always have been, and always will be
_Authorize using the correct account name_
I only have one Apple account
_Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)_
Win 7 (turned off UAC, rebooted, turned UAC back on, rebooted, authorized computer) - as always, it says my computer is authorized; however, subsequent attempt to transfer purchases results in the same message saying that my computer is not authorized.
___Remove the SC Info folder_
Deleted SC Info folder, and then re-authorized computer, as always it authorized ok, but then refused to transfer purchases
What can I do next?
THank you again. Deb -

hi,
if you have an iPod, you can use that. sync the purchased playlist to your Pod and plug it into the other computer. next, find the +transfer purchases+ option by right clicking on the purchased playlist on your iPod.
alternatively, you can back up the playlist to CD(s) and restore the backup on the new computer.

Please help! My iPod won't transfer purchases to my new computer's library.
"Attempting to copy to the disk 'C:\' failed. An unknown error has occured (-69)"
This came up while my iPod was in the process of transfering my purchased songs/videos. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would appreciate the help!Point 2 might still be applicable, it explains finding which file is causing the problem.
"Watch the display at the top of the iTunes window while your iPod is being updated. The name of the problematic file should appear in the display right before the error appears"
If the file is corrupted in some way you'll most likely have to put the iPod in Manual mode and delete it unfortunately. Further down in the article is this passage "To prevent future issues, you should delete the unusable files, then restore them from a backup". The problem then might be do you have a back up or not? -

You need to back them up in iTunes.

The music sync is how you got the music from the computer to the ipod in the first place.
You cannot sync it from the ipod to the computer as I explained in the previous post, unless it is itunes purchased music. -
I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

Must be a verified email address. -
I rented a movie on my Apple TV and now I also want to watch the movie on my Mac. How do I access the rented movie without having to rent again from the Mac?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you rent a movie on the Apple TV, then it can only be watched on the Apple TV. If you want to watch movies on multiple devices, you need to download it to your computer, where you can then transfer it to other devices or stream it to your Apple TV as well as watch it from your Mac. -
Actually, the computer is the same, but I re installed my windows and now my ipad recognizes it as a new computer. It's authorized and the purchases have been transferred, but I want to keep the way I have arranged my apps.
Select the Apps tab in iTunes with your iPad connected.
You can drag apps from one screen to another if necessary, then click Sync. -
I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account . What's the best way to go?
You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free.

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

Hi Tania1894,
If you do not know your iCloud password and did not receive your reset email, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.
The work around is to do two documents, one in portrait format and one in landscape format. When finished export to Pdf. open in Preview by select both files and use Cmd + O or doubleclick. You can now in Previews thumbnail column the pages from one document into the other and then save.
If you have created only one with i.e. all pages in portrait format but with the content for the landscape pages rotated on the pages, you can rotate the pages in Preview. Two ways to get the same result.
