How can I sync my iPad with a new laptop (same itunes account) and not lose all my app data, i.e. games data stored on the ipad, not the app itself?

I want to sync my iPad with a new laptop, so I can get rid of the old computer.  I have already downloaded all the itunes content on the new laptop, but when i go to sync, it tells me that itunes will erase and copy all the apps from the new library.  The 2 computers are on the same account, so is there a way to copy the apps (including app data) onto the new laptop, instead of vice versa?

  • How can I sync my iPad3 with my new computer's itunes without deleting all my music?

    When I try to sync my music from my iTunes to my iPad3, itunes says that it will delete all my music, movies, etc currently on my iPad with what I have on my current iTunes. I have music and movies on here from at least one other computer using the same Apple ID. I was able to just highlight and drag all my music to my iPad (which caused a lot of duplicates), but my itunes really just does not want to cooperate with my iPad. Everything I try to do it just wants to either delete what I already have or not work at all.

    You can sync your iOS device with a single iTunes Library. So if you sync your iPad with your present iTunes library all the music and videos would be deleted.
    You can always transfer the media from your old iTunes library to the new one if they are on different commuter using a USB drive and then add those media to the new iTunes library and sync your iPad then.

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    The things bought in iTunes will be transferred, but you will lose other music. You need an application to import

  • New PC: how can I sync my Iphone with a new PC without loosing data?

    I have an old Windows Vista PC with Itunes.
    I want to sync my iPhone4 with a new Windows 8 PC.
    I only sync music and video with the iphone and itunes, NOT email adress contacts, etc (I do not want to mix and mingle all my contacts on PC and phone).
    I DO want to take all the contacts to the new itunes.
    Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
    Anyone any advice how to do this simple thing which is made super complex by Apple? Thanks.
    ( @ Apple: Apple engineers and Apple marketing should be ashamed that there is no simple way to do this, and there is no simple and clear information on the apple website for this !!!)

    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer,  to the new one.
    To what do you sync your contacts?  Icloud?  Other service?

    Correct.  The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. 
    It should be very simple.  Everything should be on your computer, or cloud service.  The itunes simply allows your information from your computer, cloud service to be protable.
    Copy everything to the new computer, then sync.

  • How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

    Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
    Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

    I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
    Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....

  • Help! How can i sync my ipod with a new computer?

    how do i sync my ipod touch with a new computer?  the old computer it was synced with is completely broken.  I don't want to loose any songs, especially the ones I didn't buy on itunes.

    For music obtained from other than the iTunes Music Store, you need to browse the app store and purchase an app intended for that very purpose.  I'm unable to recommend one because I've never had reason to use such an app.  DO THIS FIRST!
    For songs purchased from iTunes, simply do a sync to the new computer.  A box will appear asking if you wish to transfer purchases.  If, for whatever reason, that fails, this is "Plan B."

  • How can I sync my Iphone with a new apple ID and keep the old content?

    Just got a new computer and had to create a new apple ID. I want to sync my iphone but keep all my contacts, apps, music, etc. from my old apple ID.  How would I go about that?

    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

  • ITunes for Mac don't recognize my Apps (copied since PC). How can I sync my iPhone with my new mac?

    Hi,
    i'm new with Mac, and i Have a doubt..
    I read that to transfer itunes information (apps mainly) since PC to MAc, you just had to copy the itunes folder and paste it in Mac (Music)..
    wel.. i did that, but then when I opened iTunes in Mac, it didn't recognize any application.. and I don't know why...
    searching and exploring, I realized something...
    the folder where my apps were in PC was Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile applications..
    and, searching on internet, i look that all the people said that in Mac, the folder is Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications..
    could be this the problem that i Have????
    if I change all my apps from one side to another, could itunes recognize it??
    thank you very much for your help.

    The Apple store will move your content from your old computer to your new one.
    You can call Apple Support and they will walk you through it.
    You can type " move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

  • How can I sync my iPhone with my new macbook air that already has music on it?

    I need help! I have an Iphone 4 that has all my music on it but I recently got a macbook air that already has all my songs. I want to sync my phone with my itunes but it says i may not want to. What do I do?

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    Make sure everything is on the new computer.

  • HT1329 My old computer crashed.  How do I sync my Shuffle with my new laptop?

    My old laptop crashed -- it does not boot up and the monitor is blank.  I bought a new laptop with Windows 8, downloaded iTunes and connected my ipod nano.  How do I get them to sync?  All of the music on the nano is downloaded from cds (not purchased from itunes store) and I did not have cloud service.  The instructions online all say I have to make changes to the nano using my old computer, but that's no longer an option.  Any advice?

    It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod.  iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library

  • How can i sync my iphone to a new computer without restoring settings and deleting everything?

    I've just gotten a new desktop computer and I'd love to have my iPhone synced to it...but I cannot do that without "restoring" settings or erasing my current library to sync to this new library. The problem is I have absolutely nothing on this new computer and I do not wish to delete anything on my phone... what's the best way to go about this without losing any of my notes, photos, contacts, apps etc? I accidentally restored my iphone last year and it was horrible trying to get everything back on it, I just don't really want to do that again!  I'm thinking I could possibly back up to iCloud and then erase my current library and start from there, but I'm very paranoid about losing my contacts and my photos! Also I just visited the iCloud website and I couldn't figure out how to access my photos on there. Any help that anyone could offer would be awesome! Thank you!
