how do i move my itunes to a new laptop if i don't have the old laptop?

Use the backup of the data from the laptop to move everything.
Why would you dispose of the existing computer before moving all the user data to the new computer?

  • How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?

    How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
    I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
    Any HELP please?!?
    Would be much appreciated.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • I got a new computer but my itunes is still on my old computer.  how do i move my itunes to my new computer and get it off of my old computer

    I now have my daughter's old laptop computer.  She had her itunes account on it previously and now has her music libraries, etc. on her new laptop.  I just uploaded itunes to her old computer so I can put my own music on the computer.  But itunes still shows my daughters 2 apple devices on the old laptop - her iphone and her ipod.  How can I put my devices on the old laptop and make sure I don't mess up her devices that she syncs, etc. to her new computer?  I have an 'older' nano that I put music on years ago using a laptop (that no longer works) that I'm trying to put more music on.  I also just got an ipad so am using my new apple account now (I can't even remember my old account information).

    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.

  • HT201272 how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop   BTW - i dont have the old laptop

    Hi - how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop??  BTW - i dont have the OLD laptop anymore - am i screwed??

    You cannot transfer anything from a device which you do not have, because you do not have it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    How can I update Dreamweaver 8  to 8.0.2 if I don't have the  .MSI file?  I have moved this old copy to newer computer/operating system and don't have all the original discs and things.

    And you can move an installed application if you move a few other files manually and without getting into the registry.
    I'm very skeptical about that as I have dozens of Registry entries associated with my older DW installation.
    Still trying to assist anyway. Check this thread for a reported successful resolution
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/4215502
    Also try this:
    Download the unwrapped 8.0.2 update from Adobe: http://kb2.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/ts/documents/kb400150/DW802_unwrapped.zip
    Extract the files into a root directory. There should be only one MSI file.
    Open an administrator privilaged command prompt by typing in the Start menu "Command" and right clicking the "Command Prompt" option and selecting "Run as Administrator"
    Navigate to the directory you extracted the files to using the CD command
    Once in the directory with the MSI file run the following command: msiexec /update patchpackage.msp
    Step through the installer, and everything should be fine, open Dream Weaver and go to Help -> About to verify the patch installed.

  • Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

    Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

    It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

  • HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    I am trying to download a quicktime movie.  A pop up tells me that I don't have the format to support it.  What do I do?

    OK, let's start from scratch since things seemed to have gotten confused.
    What exactly are you trying to do? It would seem that you are trying to redeem a digital copy of a movie you purchased on a DVD or Blu-Ray disk. Is that correct? What studio site is providing this "free movie"? (post the URL to this download page if you can).
