How can I deregister without losing all my downloads
Can I regain all lost downloads when I deregister
Your iTunes purchases are associated with your iTunes account not with the device (kind of but not really). So that's why you're able to have your apps and other purchases on more than one device at a time (max of 5 computers and not sure if there is limit for devices - anyone know if there is?). So when you deregister a device, it only affects that device, not your purchase history. So if you get another iPad, you can easily configure it with all your purchased apps and media and everything. You should make sure you have everything backed up in case there is any content that you created on the iPad (like documents or spreadsheets or ...) so that you can restore them to the new iPad.
Take a look at this summary on how to do things...

The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?
If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?
My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

I no longer have the iTunes that is synced to my iPhone and now I need to update my iPhone with iTunes. Is there a way I can do this without losing all my data? Can I access my iTunes that is on my stolen laptop, so that I don't lose my info and photos etc? Please help!
Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive. -

Replaced hard drive How can I sync without losing info
How can I sync my Iphone to a new hard drive (old crashed) and not lose the info on my phone. I have over forty of my own videos I do not want to go back and look up on a series of 20+ external hard drives. Will it erase my videos. I can get get my Itunes back through the Itunes store I understand.
Thanks
PaulYou should have a backed up of your iTunes library.
Apple may or may not allow you to redownload your purchases-it is not guaranteed.
If you do not have a backup of your iTunes library-you are most likely out of luck. You can try connecting and see if it would allow transfer purchases.

You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can transfer other stuff by using the third-part programs discussed in this previous discussion:
Best iPod to PC
If you previously synced to another computer and do not have the backup files you will lose your app data. You will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and then sync to the new computer. -
How can you sort without adding all the music to iTunes?
I'm an older person and I don't get it. At first I just had a shuffle and I downloaded specific songs into iTunes that I liked. Then I upgraded. I loaded a whole bunch of cd's into various libraries at various times on an external hard drive. Now, I have a ton of music and would love an easy way to organize it! There are lots of duplicates and lots of songs I just don't like. The trouble is, I haven't figured out how to just see a list of all the songs and sort and delete from the list. I have to open a library and then I get a bunch of file folders of an album or two. Then I have to open the album to see the songs. If I forget what the song sounds like and I click on it to play it, the album goes automatically into iTunes. I don't have enough room on my pc for all that music to go right into iTunes. Do you get my question?? Can you help me?
When you play a song with iTunes, it automatically gets added to the library, as you noticed.
If you just want to play the song so you can decide whether to keep or delete it, use another player. You may already have Windows Media Player on your machine. If not you can download Winamp.
When you are done sorting, add the ones you want into your iTunes library -
