How do i get my itunes from my old computer to my new computer so that I can sync my iphone

1. I had my iphone 4 synced with my old computer.
     I have a new computer and want my iphone to sync with this computer.
     I am not interested in any music syncing
     I do not want to overwrite anything on my iphone
     I want the information eg apps that appear when I sync on my old computer to work exactly the same on the new computer.
     I do not want a new library.
2.  I have tried to backup my phone on my old computer and i receive the message."iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Bronwyn's iphone" because the backup could not be saved on the computer."
     To try to resolve this I have removed most photos, I am unable to remove one
               I have transferred all audio recordings
               I have over 200gb of space on the computer.
3. At one time I received the following  messge  The information on the iPhone 'Bronwyn's iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
Merge info - merges the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
"Replace Info" replaced theinformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
     Then the clickable choices .
This box has not reappeared.
3. I am absolutely fed up trying to find a solution.
This should not be this difficult.
I welcome any and all help
but I do ask please provide simply easy to follow steps.
May thanks
Bronwyn

You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How do I get my itunes from my old PC to my new Mac?

    I just switched from a PC to a Mac. When I plugged in my iphone my itunes account did not come up. How can I fix that?

    Consider moving everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single move, including your iTunes library: About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
    Quick answer for just iTunes if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

    - Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod  under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.

  • How do I get the songs from my old Mac to my new one sans iCloud?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Air and I need to know how to get the songs off of my 2007 MacBook onto my new one without use the iCloud.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
    Also have a look at these 2 Videos...

  • How do I move my iTunes from my old PC to my new G4 17"

    How do I move my iTunes music from my old PC to my new G4 17".

    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.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your devices sync with a photos folder you will need to copy this over and update the settings on the photo tab to point to the new location.
    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 of it, 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.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes from my old mac to my new one?

    When setting up the new Mac, it said the Migration Assistant on my old Mac needed updating (OS X 10.4.11) and would not run.  I also created a new apple id on my new mac which is different from the one on my old mac.  How do I transfer my iTunes Library from my old mac to my new one?  Thanks.

  • New computer, how do I get my files off my old ipod to the new computer?

    So, my old computer is completely fried. It's dead. We got a new one and I would really love it if someone could tell me how I would be able to keep the songs off my ipod when I hook it up to the new computer.

    You cannot do it with iTunes, except for music purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are numerous third-party utilities that provide this function. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer music," you will see some links.
    Once you get the files off the iPod and on your new computer, you just need to get them into your iTunes library and then sync your iPod to that library.

  • How do I get my iTunes library off old PC & on my new Mac

    Brand new Mac user--this is my second day. Have had an iPod Nano for about 8 months and want to move my iTunes Library to the new Mac and de-authorize (is that the right word?) the iTunes library on old PC once I pull everything off of it--it's going to be wiped and given to a charity!
    The songs on the iTunes library and the songs on iPod not all the same--there is only a subset of songs from the library on the iPod. Suggestions?

    You basically just have to transfer the iTunes folder from the PC to the Mac.
    Apple has some instruction for using your iPod as an external disk drive:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    Or you can use file sharing if the Mac and PC are both connected to a network.
    There are also several sites on the web that have instructions for migrating, such as this one:
    http://www.tunequest.org/migrating-your-itunes-library-from-windows-to-mac/20061 105/
    And you should de-authorize the PC by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes from an old account to a new one?

    I had an old computer (PC) that had an old iTunes account linked to it and now would like to transfer, rather merge my old purchases with my newer iTunes account which is managed by my current MAC... any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

    You cannot transfer purchases to a different account.  Purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    Why would you start a new account?
