How can I move my account from old to new computer

I have my new iPhone 4s activated via old PC which is just dying out. When I connected my iPhone to a new laptop, iTunes came with message that if I proceed with sync I will loose music, apps that are already on the phone. How can I transfer my iTunes account with the old purchased stuff into my new computer? Can anyone help?

Obviously having backups and regularly, should be essential part of maintenance, in one form or another

New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

Hi,
I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
This is what I did so far:
Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
Is there a way to do this one shot??
Thanks!
RJ.

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.

How do I move PS CS6 from old to new computer?

I am getting a new computer specifically for photo editing. I have Photoshop Extended CS6 Student Teacher Ed, Windows 7. I would like to know how to move my software to the new computer without purchasing it again. I do still have my product code, redemption code, and serial number.
Thank you

You may have CS6 activated on two computers at any one time. Load it onto your new computer using the discs or from here: Download CS6 products. Now enter your serial number. Now go to Help>Deactivate on your old system to free up that activation.
And here is the latest update for CS6: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.3 update for CS6. Apply this after installing.

How do I move my PlayLists from old to new Mac?

Just got a new Mac with Lion on it.
I have moved my iTunes Library collection over from old computer to new one.
But, how can I move all my old 'PlayLists' from my other machine to my new one as I don't want to spend days re-making them all?
Thanks

The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created is lost.
Find the file on your old Mac and copy it to your new Mac.

Old Computer crash. How can I transfer my music from Ipod to new Computer?

Lightning struck my old computer, how can I transfer my music from the Ipod to the new computer (Windows XP) Itunes library?

You don't need to buy anything from the spammers that infect these forums. There are plenty of free options.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to youir new computer along with all other important data, and where is the backup for your old computer that should include your iTunes library along with all other important data?
Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why Apple doesn't provide a way to transfer these photos in the opposite direction and why photos available on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - iTunes library, documents, etc.
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but the original resolution of these photos will be forever lost, and the same for transferring music from your iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes store.

How can I move my iTunes library to a new computer?

I have got a new computer, and wish to move my itunes library and sync to my new computer, without installing touchcopy or any third party software. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.

Use Migration Assstant to move all content from an old computer to a new.
For iTunes alone:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

How do I move contacts etc from old to new phone ??

Hi, we bought my stepson an iPhone 5c for xmas and I want to move all his info from his old 3G to his new phone but I seem to be struggling.
To start with I did a full backup of is old phone through his laptop ( not an Apple ) through iTunes and then connected the 5C and updated the software etc and just assumed that it would ask me at some point if I wanted to transfer the information but nothing happened and I seem to have come to a grinding halt.
Can anyone help me as I really want to sort it before he arrives back tomorrow
Many thanks
Tony

More often than not, your iPhone 3g will have contacts spread across multiple accounts (including local "phone" account) that are not backed up by Google contacts. You may also have multiple gmail accounts connected. The best way to sync contacts to your iPhone without any losing information is to use InTouchApp. Just install on both phones & login - done! It is the easiest way to keep hopping phones without ever losing your contacts. It is available on all stores.

You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

I am not sure this is going to work. For one thing, the preferences file is in a different place in Mountain Lion. It is at: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.pli st. I wouldn't try to move the .plist file, I'd be very surprised if it would work.
I would do a different approach and start with just recreating the mail account(s) you have on the new machine from scratch and let them download your mail from the server. Then if there were e-mails not on the server any more, but stored in the black macbook, I'd copy them from the mailboxes folder, from the old machine to the new. I'm not sure where they are in 10.5.8, but in ML they are at ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes.
At each stage along the way I'd do a backup, so in case it screws things up, you can revert to a functional Mail.app.

How can I move a calendar from my mac to the i Cloud

how can I move a calendar from my mac to the i Cloud. It is an existing calendar that I publish for others to view. It does not update through the cloud since it is not curently on the cloud. I cannot figure out how to move it on to the cloud.

Your signature says you have Leopard 10.5.8 - is this correct? (If it isn't please amend it). Leopard cannot access iCloud: Lion 10.7.2 is required. Have you actually opened an iCloud account (or migrated from MobileMe)?
if you do have Lion and have joined iCloud then your calendars should have been migrated to iCloud automatically. If this hasn't happened then the method for moving them is described in the first set of numbered instructions on this page - I emphasize that this is only possible on Lion.

Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.
