How can i transfer my Ipad Library and Apps to a new laptop - my old laptop died before i could backup my library to an external hardrive

You will need to do this via iTunes to start with as you need to copy your iTunes files to the new computer.
If you have everything on your iPad you can select "transfer purchases..." when plugging your iPad into your new computer and in iTunes (right/ctrl click the iPad icon) after telling iTunes to not sync this iPad.
Once the items are in the new iTunes then when it asks if you wish to sync to this new iTunes your items will be copied to the iPad again.
However if you do not have all iTunes items on your iPad, then you will need to follow the instructions on to move iTunes first, then deal with your iPad.

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

  • Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

    This is one of the most basic of functions of the iPhone.  This is a good time for you to read the User Guide.  All the instructions on how to operate yor phone are included.  I suggest you read through it.

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

  • How can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my laptop

    how can i transfer my itunes library from my ipod to a new laptop

    3 things you need to transfer music from iPod to itunes: iPod, computer, iTunes.
    step 1 connect your ipod to your computer via the white USB cable.
    step 2 open My Computer, or just Computer from the start menu and look for the ipod drive. It should be in the (F:) drive. You will see the ipod logo in the listing of disk drives.
    step 3 Now you should have a new folder called ipod_control. Open that folder up and you should see the following: Calendar, Contacts, ipod_control, notes, photos, ect. If you are trying to save all of your music then the ipod_control folder is the only one you need to worry about.
    step 3 Open the ipod_control folder then open the music folder. Copy each one of those folders (should look similar to these: F00, F01 ...) onto your computer.
    step 3 Open itunes and insert the new folder you created on your computer's desktop into: library ---> Music

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library from Windows to my new Macbook and retain my iPhone contacts?

    Hello,
    I am running iTunes on Windows Vista with music, videos. This is paired to a 3GS which has many contacts on it. The iPhone is regularly synced and backed up.
    I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer my entire iTunes system over. I see that I can transfer the music library over with Home Sharing. I want to ensure, however, that when I sync my iPhone with my NEW MacBook Pro, that all the data is retained. I am most concerned with losing the contacts on the phone.
    Does anybody know how I can do this? I just want to wholesale copy the iTunes environment onto my new machine, I guess.
    Thanks,

    Contacts (and Calendars) are not part of iTunes. iTunes is simply used to sync them from whatever apps you are using.
    This is for Mac OS 10.4 but it will work for whatever you are now running.

  • Getting a new computer,, how do i transfer all my library AND apps?

    is this an easy task?? i know how to copy my library to an external hard drive? but does this copy include all my apps? and how do i transfer from the ext hd to the new computer?
    can someone post a link to instructions??
    thanks

    This iLounge article has the best instructions I've seen
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/
    The apple instructions are very poorly written. They only provide links to other articles and it's difficult to piece it all together, get the big picture, since apple does not explain why they're telling you to do this or that.

  • How can I transfer. My library from iPod to a new pc

    Pc has had hard drive wiped lost all iTunes on machine I have a laptop with iTunes on it and the same account name. Can I transfer everything from my iPod onto the laptop without anything being deleted?

    Your pc may have died but the hard drive might be still in good condition, IDE or SATA,
    If you don't have the cables for it, then, if youhave another pc thats SATA, turn off your PC and unhook your hard drive from your old pc to the pc you are on now.
    The IDE hard drive can be connected throu the CD/DVD port if your pc is nothing but SATA only. Thats the only way without buying any cables like IDE/SATA to USB.
    Once connected, make sure the power cord is also connected, turn on the pc, once windows pop up, wait a second for your pc has dectected a new drive thats been plugged in.
    If it hasn't or cant see your drive, reboot the pc and go to your BIOS screen when you first turn on the pc which should be F2 or F10, depending on who created the computer.
    BIOS>Hard Drive> Enable the other hard drive thats probably disabled by default on how the pc was sent, apply changes, reboot and connect to your hard drive under computer and there you go.
    Copy your files from your old hard drive onto your new computer or you can leave it in there and access it as so.

  • I'm upgrading from iPad2 to iPad air.  how can I transfer all my data and apps from one to the other?

    Hi, I'm upgrading from my iPad2 to the iPad Air.  What is the most painless way to transfer all my data from one device to another?
    I have iannotate, which I've just found out is no longer syncing via iCloud (I thought that's what I was paying all that storage for) and a lot of catalogued PDF's on it.  Is there any other way besides plugging it in to my old Mac via iTunes to do the transfer?

    Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

  • How can I transfer older Claris Works and AppleWorks files to new iMac.  I use Pages, and MacWord, Excel, etc. as well.

    March 20, 2013
    I have a new iMac using Pages and Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. for mac.  I'd like to transfer older ClarisWorks and AppleWorks files to my new computer.  Can this be done?

    Additionally, Numbers can read/open spreadsheets. However, anything done in the drawing/painting part cannot be read by any application - you would have to export those (on the old machine) as a .jpg or pdf. You could then open them, but no longer edit or change the content.

  • HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

    (sharing the iTunes library between the macbook & iMack requires both machines and seems silly ...)
