How can I transfer my account to a new PC?

I moved recently, and my account is currently on my parents' computer. I would like to know how I can get my account onto my boyfriends' computer. Help is greatly appreciated!

If you copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer (with iTunes not running) you don't need to readd anything. The content will be there when you launch iTunes on the new computer.

  • I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

    I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
    Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

    Hi Stillme,
    You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
    APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.
    Cheers,

  • My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • My iPad was stolen and I want to know how I can deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new iPad

    Hi there  My i Pad was stolen and I would like to know how do I deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new i Pad Thanks Linda

    If you enabled the "Find My iDevice" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, log into iCloud and deactivate it. If you did not, there is nothing that can be done.
    As for the content, it should all be on your computer, simply connect the new iPad and sync what you would like to the device.

  • How do I transfer my account To my new ipad?

    I have a new Mini/Retina that I want to replace my iPad 2 with.  I want to use my same old AT&T account for cellular/data connection, so how do I transfer my account To my new iPad?
    The guy at the AT&T store (where I bought the Mini) said I would have to start it as a backup from the old machine, and I might have to switch SIM cards (believable), but there must be more to it than that.  At what point shoud I shut off the old iPad account?  If I do it at the wrong time it seems like there should be a conflict (perhaps the SIM card).  Is there a procedure posted anywhere?  (He also gave me a 1-800 number to call for help - so I suspect I'll need it.  But you guys are so good, I'll start here.)
    TIA

    If your iPad 2 has a newer iOS version than your new iPad Air then you'll need to update the iPad Air to newest iOS before you can restore it from the iPad 2's backup. Its conceivable that being in the store the new iPad air does not have the most recent iOS installed.
    Anyway as to the AT&T service. you should not have to anything on the old iPad.
    Simply remove the sim card, go to your AT&T store and ask for a new sim that fits your new iPad with your current service on it. Then simply insert the new sim card into the new iPad.  In the process of setting up the new sim card, the old one will be deactivated by AT&T.
    Without a sim card the old iPad will have no cell service.

    If you are talking about an iTunes or Apple ID account, you cannot transfer from one account to another.

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
    So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
    then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
    Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

  • Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

    Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

    What phones do you have (old and new?)  If your old phone was backed up using Verizon's Backup assistant, the new phone should pick up those contacts, as the Verizon cloud has replaced Backup Assistant, or ratherm BUA has been "absorbed" by the Cloud.
    Knowing which phones you are using will help us to give more specific information for transferring the contacts.

    Use your backup from your old iPhone to restore your new one (assuming you have done iCloud backups or in iTunes). Also try looking at this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201269

  • How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer

    How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer. I cannot find the original documentation with serial number etc

    For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
    For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
    Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
    If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
    This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

  • Bought new computer. How do I transfer my account to my new computer?

    I have an older lap top that has my itunes account and playlist. How can I transfer it to the new lap top I just bought? I have Windows 7

    Install itunes on the new laptop, first.
    You can log into the itunes store and start using your account at any time - there isn't really any "transfer" going on, for that part.
    You do need to transfer the music files and the itunes database, though. Do that the same way you are transferring over other stuff like digital photos, browser bookmarks, etc. I've used my home network in the past when we've gotten a new PC.
    For itunes, the important folder is C:\....\iTunes. Just replace that folder on the new machine with the iTunes folder (and all its subfolders) from the old machine.
    Have a look at the new PC's preferences to make sure they're set up correctly, and don't forget to deauthorize your old PC if you're getting rid of it. And....don't get rid of it until you are sure you have everything set up like you want!

  • HT1589 how can i transfer my library to a new computer? old computer is not working

    how can i transfer my i-tunes library to a new computer? my old computer is not working.

    It has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.  Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You would have to take the hard drive out of your old computer and connect it to your new and transfer the info.
