How do i get my original information onto my new itouch?

I just got a new itouch 4 because my old itouch 4 had a cracked screen. i was setting it up when it said "set up as new ipod" or "set up as an ipod that you originaly had". i selected the "originaly had" one because i wanted my ipod to think that it was my older ipod with all of my information on it, and not a brand new ipod. but when i selected that, it said i needed to update the software, then select the " originaly had" selection. So, i updated my new itouch, and now i don't know how to get all it's information back on. i know i can just sync that apps and music i was back on it, but i want it to think that it is my older ipod. how do i do that?

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Then you have to go through the initial setup again and will be presented with the option to Restore from Backup.

I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

They can't. Which came first - the chicken or the egg? Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything. iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad). iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:

How do I get my iTunes library onto my new computer when my old computer died?

How can I upload my iTunes library onto my new computer from my iPod or iPad? our old computer died and now I cannot move my iTundes library from my iPod or iPhone onto the new iTunes. Anyone have a workaround for this?

It depends on what you mean by "died".
If the old computer is a Mac, you can try starting it up in "Target Disk Mode" - it doesn't attempt to start up like a computer, it pretends to be an external hard drive so it might work even if your old computer still has power (even if it's otherwise unusable). You then use a firewire cable (or or firewire to thunderbolt adapter) to plug the old computer into the new one, and can copy the music off the old hard drive.
OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
Or, if you're handy with a screwdriver, open up the old computer and take the old hard drive out. How easy that is depends on what model computer it is. You can then pop the hard drive into an "external enclosure" (about $20 from any computer parts store), plug that into your new computer's USB port and copy away - and you even get to keep using the old hard drive as an external hard drive. But that's assuming it really is the computer that "died" and not the hard drive itself.
Finally, if it's the hard drive in the old computer that died, but the computer itself is still good, you can try using a utility like DiskWarrior or TechTools Pro to try to recover the old hard drive, then use one of the above methods.

How do I get my iPad apps onto my new iphone?

I currently have a mini ipad. I just bought my first iphone 5 today, and the sales associate set it up. I put in my apple id to log into icloud at the store. I am home now and want to get my ipad apps onto my iphone. How do I do this?

You would do this by iTunes and the sync process. You can select what apps you want to sync in iTunes. However, know that not all apps that are used on the iPad can be used on the iPhone. There are apps that are iPad only, as well as those that are iPhone only.

My old PC crashed, how do I get all my bookmarks onto my new PC?

Does Firefox store all my bookmarks somewhere so that I can retrieve them onto my new PC? If not, I have a copy of most of my bookmarks in a folder in Windows Explorer, how do I import them, en mass, to my new bookmarks?

Thanks, but, unless I didn't read the hints correctly, your suggestion did not fit my situation -- my old PC is dead, I can't transfer anything from that physical equipment. I had hundreds of bookmarks on it that are not in my bookmarks on Firefox now. Is there a way to get those bookmarks back?
If not, I do have some bookmarks saved in folders in Windows Explorer, but when I try to import them, it seem to want to import one bookmark at a time instead of import all of them at once.

Computer crashed, how do I get my Ipod songs onto a new computer with itune

Please help. My computer died and I lost everything on it. I have a new computer and have downloaded a new itunes 7.0
How do I get my songs off my Ipod to my new computer and then to the new itunes

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How do you get previous Itunes pruchases onto a new Ipod without syncing it to the laptop?

I've been in Australia for over a year, my previous Ipod broke so a purchased a new Ipod touch this year. However, as my Itunes library is on my laptop back in the UK, I'm a little depleted of music on this Ipod. Is it possible to get previous Itune purchases onto my Ipod here in Australia without me flying home, or worse still having the laptop sent over? I've kept all my Itunes receipts.

Try here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
you might not be able to get some items back since yuo are in a differenrt country now.

I backed up my old phone to my computer, but how do i get all the info onto the new phone

i got my new phone. i backed up the old phone onto the competer. everything is in itunes. but when i plugged the new phone and did the sync it didnt back up any newer stuff. just older stuff. i dont wanna lose any pics or info. its acting as if there two different phones and not syncing the old phones info from the computerto the new iphone

iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone. Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save? Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone. If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first. After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.
