How can I transfer a text tone to my new iphone?
I purchased a text tone two years ago when I had an iPhone 4S. I recently purchased an iPhone 5S and want to use that same text tone but cannot figure out how in the world to get it transferred over to my new phone. I've looked online and tried several things with no luck. When I open up my iPhone 4S it shows the tone and it shows the purchase on my history... There should be such an easy way to do this but I haven't been able to figure it out!! I know it's only .99 to rebuy ...but it's the whole principle of the thing...I already paid for it so why should I have to pay again for the same thing!!

Ringtones are a one-time download (as are audiobooks ; other items are redownloadable depending upon what country that you are in, and if they remain in your country's store).
If you still have it on your 4S then connect it to your computer's iTunes and copy it over via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it will copy over to the Tones part of your library.
Then connect your 5S to your computer's iTunes and sync it to it.

Can you please help me to transfer my blackerry contacts to my new Iphone? I have tried uploading my blackberry contacts to Blackberry desk manager and tried to connect through to Iphone using Itunes but I cannot locate where the info tab is that I need to go into to sync my contacts? When I launch Itunes I just go directly to the music page. Also I do not see my device. It does sync my device when I plug this in but I cannot actually see the device. Can someone please help as this is stressing me out. Barbara

would it work on my computer if i just copied the text tone onto a flash drive and added it to itunes?
iDevices are not backup devices.
Move or copy the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync the content from the iDevice to the new library will wipe the content from the device. -
How can i download free text tones on my iphone 5s
how can i download free text tones on my iphone 5s
He told you Google for an answer. You will end up having to use iTunes to sync them to the phone anyway. There are a number of websites out there that offer free ringtones, or you can upload a short piece of music to their site and they will convert for you. As mentioned, Google free iPhone ringtones, you will be inundated with sites.

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic. -

i replaced my old iphone to a new one.. i want to get my photos from icloud,,,, i had almost 3 gb of photos backed up on icloud,,, how can i transfer all those photos to my new phone,, i tried but i only got 90 photos. those are the recent one. i had almost 1000 photos in icloud back up?plz hlp
You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
Apple Support number is

I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
and
2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
Thanks for any time taken on this!!!These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

My Firefox is not working (All I get is a blank white screen with the firefox logo. If I have to reinstall Firefox 3.66, how can I transfer my old profile to the new installation?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedDavid. Thank you very much. The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer. But the solution was the same. Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha. I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back. These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer. Very grateful. Tim

I re-installed XP and kept the old program files on another drive, how can I transfer my bookmarks list to the new Firefox ?
I tried shifting the Profile folder contents from the old to the new, that seemed to work but I kept getting a message that my security was affected and that the problem could be in that folder so I shifted it back.Hello Kencrews,
When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.
Here is a helpful article to assist getting that done.

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. -
