How do I save all of my data to iTunes on my new PC?

I want to update my old iPad's firmware up to IOS 5.1.1 from 4.2.1 but it seems like it isn't as easy as that. It says that it would delete everything on my iPad but I don't know how to put all of my data on to my new PC. I want EVERYTHING here on the new PC.

The iPad should be backed up by iTunes as part of the update process but just in case....
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
Transfer purchases.

I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?

I have no experience with mac and just bought an imac. How do I transfer all my pictures,data and itunes from my pc?

I have an ipod and an ipad. I tried simply putting the data on these portable devices but they would only accept a small fraction of them. For example, I tried dragging a picture into itunes and I got an error that said this file cant be played in itunes.

You need to sync your photos using iTunes.

For example, I tried dragging a picture into itunes and I got an error that said this file cant be played in itunes.
iTunes doesn't support that file type.

How do I restore previously backed up data on itunes to my new iphone

I just got a replacement iphone5 from Asurion insurance company bc my original one got wet and wasn't working correctly. I backed all my data up to itunes. When I plug in my new phone itunes registers "two iphones" and it won't let me restore my previously backed up data onto the new phone. Does anyone know how to get around this so I can transfer my backed up music and contacts? thanks!

The lower section of the following has instructions on using iTunes backup to transfer to a new device and may have something that will help: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

How can you save an app's data?

Hi, how can you save an app's data? For example, if I want to switch some applications on my iPod with those were on my iTunes Apps Library, iTunes will force to remove the apps that was on my device and sync the apps that I want onto my iPod. But once the app is removed from my iPod, its data will be erased too, so, for example months later, I want to put them back onto my iPod, I will lose all the apps data and games progress. So, I just want to know the way that people save their apps data.

Yo can't. apps are locked to the account thatpurchased them and in-app purchases can only be mad with the account that originally purchased the app.
You will have to recover use of the first account

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

How do i save all my mail in my inbox and sent box?

hello
i am going to upgrade my OSX to Snow Leopard
how do i save all my mail in my inbox and sent box then restore it when my new OSX is installed?
thanks in advance
tk

It's always good to have a backup, but Snow Leopard should leave all your data intact, just install new OS components & updated Apple Apps.
If you don't have room to back everything up...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book, quit AB...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/
If you do have room to back everything up...

How Do I Save All My Edits

How can I save all the edits (Presets?)I made to my pics? It might come in handy to know which changes I made in the near future to maybe come back at them. I need to save the original (unedited) pics too I guess. If possible can some1 explain how to save them as a batch since I have thousands of pics.

Any edits should be saved automatically with the images. Open any edited picture and select the history panel and all the changes for that picture should be listed there. This data is contained with the other catalogue data.
All edits are non destructive and the origional image is left untouched. You can verify this by openning an image from the LR catalogue in another image viewer and see that the image has not been edited. BUT if you open the edited image in LR, the edited image will be displayed.
Your images will only be edited in LR unless you export the edited images to a new file. The new images will contain all the editting.
If you print an edited image from LR, your edited image will be printed but if you print it with another program you wil get the origional unless you exported the edited image to a new file and rinted from the new file.
If I need to use the edited images for a project, I export them as jpg's or psd's if using PS. These new exported images will be the edited versions of the selected images from this file even if opened with ay other image viewer.

In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
1. Save a JPEG as: abc.jpg
2. Save a JPEG as: abc
3. Save a JPEG as: abc.
4. Save a JPEG as: abc.xxx
Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
1. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with): abc
2. No difference than 3 on a PC.
3. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.
4. File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type: abc.xxx
How is it different from the above on a Mac?
Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here? I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).
