How do I preserve my iPads and iPhones settings and apps on a new computer?

I want to wipe my computer and install a fresh version of the lion operating system. The only thing I want preserved are my iTunes library and preferences, and my iPhoto library and preferences. Basically, I want my iPhone and iPad to be able to sync on this new operating system and still have the exact same home screen layouts, app preferences, and music files. I have my iPhone and iPad backing up on iCloud now but I don't know if that backs up app documents too.
If somebody could enlighten me on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :-)

How can I move my catalog and pictures to a new computer?

I'm using PSE 6 under XP. I want to install PSE 8 on a new Win 7 computer. How can I move all my pictures and my currnet catalog to the new computer?
Thanks,

Install PSE 8 on the old computer and convert your catalog to PSE 8 format there. Then use the backup/restore method in PSE 8 to move the catalog and photos to the new computer. See these FAQs for details:

Help moving all songs. playlists, and apps to a new computer ?

so i've finally gotten a new laptop to replace my old dell one and now i am faced with the problem of moving my library to my new computer. my old computer is still in use, however, and so is my old external harddrive. i have bought a new external harddrive to go with my new laptop.
is there a way that i could copy all my songs into my new harddrive, keep the playlists, playcounts etc. but organise the songs differently on the new harddrive ? because i want to reorganise all my music before putting it into itunes, however i still want the playlists and playcounts to be there. so i guess what i'm trying so ask is if theres a way to completely reorganize my music on the new harddrive, then import that into the itunes on my new computer, complete with playcounts and playlists ?
also, i own an ipod touch 3G, so how would i move all my apps to the new computer as well ?

I had my laptop that my iphone was backed up onto repossesed so now i have a new computer but i dont know how to put my music photos and video and apps on my new computer can somebody help??

I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//

Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way. Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed.

How can I move my preferences and extensions to a new computer? Have I done it successfully?

My old computer crashed. I've set up the new computer. I copied all the profile files/folders to the profile on the new computer in both the local and roaming folders.
Does this copy over my preferences and extensions? The help pages say they don't tell how to copy those since they can be the cause of problems. However, they weren't problems. So I want them copied. The extensions folder on the old computer was empty (I don't recall if It'd had any installed or just bookmarked some.) I remember making some specific preferences changes in that "advanced" file (that worked fine afterward.)
So with what I did, did I successfully copy everything over? If not - where are the extensions and preferences so that I can copy them over?
Bonus big question - is there a way to merge my old browsing history with the history on the new computer that I used for 10 days? Right now I set those 10 days as a separate profile, so I can save and go check it if I really need to.
Thanks!

Take the good profile and copy it to the new computer. Also copy all
of your add-ons. On the new computer, start Firefox. Once it is running,
shut it down. Then transfer the information from the old profile to the new.
Thess add-ons can save all add-ons into a single folder for transfer.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

How do I move my trial and catalogue to a new computer?

I have 18 days left on my Lightroom 5 trial. I'm now using a new computer. How do I access my trial and catalogue? Thanks.

You can't move trials and you shouldn't attempt to move non-trials.... installing is the way to go to help insure proper performance.
If the trial is currently on your older machine, then it has the 18 days left. If you install the trial on your new machine you are likely to have 30 days left.

How to install Photoshop (already owned and NOT CC) on new computer without CD drive?????

First off, I am going to say that I think it is ridiculous that you can get NO phone support from adobe if you aren't a CC member???? So existing CS6 and LR5 users have to just use the forum?? Honestly, that is the worst customer service possible. I don't need to upgrade to CC because I already bought the programs before CC even came out!
I just got a new computer and it has no CD drive, so I have no way to install photoshop via the disk that I have. Do I just need to get a disk drive because there is no CS6 download? I just need to download it so I can put in my serial number which I have on my box.

How do I transfer my applications and files to a new computer

I'm about to buy a new Mac Pro and would like to move my applications and data over. The new computer will come with Tiger installed of course. I'd like segment the drive so I can put windows in one part, and then get everything from the old computer over.
Can I just move stuff from the old computer to the new one or do I need to install all my software again?
Thanks,
Reid Rosefelt

I suggest you look at the answers provided in this entry:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100954&tstart=0
If the old and new computers are both Intel Macs and running the same version of the OS (say, 10.4), then the Migration Assistant will probably do this transfer for you quite well (although I have and would do it manually myself). However if your old Mac is a PowerPC computer, even if it is running Tiger, then the above thread is especially relevant to you.

TA47831 Playlists and apps missing on new computer?

I bought a new laptop and restored my songs, movies, etc. in iTunes via external drive. It looks like everything is back in my iTunes library. However, I am missing ALL of my playlists and apps. I'm afraid when I go to sync the iPhone and iPad that everything will be a huge mess and lots of things will be lost on the device. What should I do? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
