How can I restore an older itunes to a new one that i just downloaded.  I cant find any of my old songs or movies?

I just baught a new computer with windows 8 and I downloaded itunes again because I couldn't find it on my external drive, now I don't know where all of my content is.  Any Ideas?

The content is only where the user put it.
There is no logical reason to expect downloading iTunes causes a users content to magically appear.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I can't replace an old version of Firefox with a new one that I just downloaded. It says I don't have permissions to do so, and the old version can't trashed.

    I've downloaded the new version, and when I go to drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder, I'm prompted to replace the old version. When I do, it says, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to modify 'Firefox'." I've looked everywhere, and every help forum says to just drag Firefox into the Trash. I've tried that, and it says that Firefox can't be trashed. I don't know if this means anything or not, but there is a small lock in the bottom left of the Firefox icon in my dock.

    Try to drag the current Firefox application to the trash if you can't replace it.

    You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
    If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.  To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.

    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

  • How can I restore an older version (before the sync)?

    I'm using Numbers on my iPad and my Macbook.
    Yesterday I opened my Macbook and for some reason it opened the Numbers app but didn't sync.
    I didn't really need to work on the file so I just left it open.
    A few hours later I wanted to do some work on my iPad.
    It prompted me with a "there's a newer version on your Macbook" and asked me if I want to sync to that version.
    I actually forgot I didn't do any work on my computer and tapped on the sync button.
    Now I lost all of the information since before the sync.
    How can I restore the older version on the iPad - before the sync?

    From your last backup.

  • Is iTunes 11.1.5 compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8? If not how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    Problem: Recently when I open iTunes it doesn't work; the little pinwheel just keeps spinning.
    I have tried leaving it on, as suggested by another user, for over 12 hours. I didn't work.
    I think the new iTunes version, 11.1.5, is not compatible with the operating system; Mac OSX 10.6.8. If this is so, how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    You need to be updated to iTunes 11.2.2.
    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    After running the combo updater, select Software Updater and update iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open after updating, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes. It will ask you to locate your iTunes Library.
    Note: I've seen users with their iTunes Library on an external drive spin like this when the drive was failed to be seen in Disk Utility. Run Repair Drive on the external drive to fix this issue.

  • I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account.  Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    Apple IDs generally don't stop existing. If you mean that you have changed your email address, what you need to do is update your Apple ID to the new email.  Start here:

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • How can i transfer my main HD to a new one?

    How can i transfer my main HD to a new one?

    If yours in a MacBook Pro notebook computer, the usual way is to buy or borrow an external enclosure to do the transfer from a perfectly-working drive inside your MacBook to the new drive mounted in the enclosure.
    If your internal drive has failed, other methods may be needed.
    If you do not already have at least one external enclosure, you should buy one to use for your Backup Drive. If money is short, you could borrow the enclosure your backup drive is in (in most cases) for this transfer.
    The Mac will boot from any drive specified in
    System preferences > Startup Drive ...
    ... regardless of whether that drive is Internal or External.
