  • Please help!!How do I transfer from a BROKEN computer to a new computer

    Hello!
    I really have a problem and I hope someone can help me out. My computer recently broke and I basically cant turn it on anymore (it will shut off after like 2min). I already bought a new computer but the problem is that I had all my music (including many CD's I bought at Itunes) in my itunes on my old computer.
    I know that a computer store can probably save my files somehow from my old computer but I am worried that I wont be able to transfer my itunes including music because of copyrights?! I know that there is information in the Apple support centre about how to transfer music to a new computer, but this support is aimed at people who can still USE their old computer. I would really really appreciate if someone has an advice. If you know what to do, please include it step-by-step so I can follow it (sorry I am not very advanced with computers...).
    I do have music on my Ipod nano but it only has 4GB so its only a small portion of all the music I have.

    Just be sure to match the external case to the type of internal drive you have. So if your computer uses good old IDE/PATA drives, then get an IDE/PATA to USB2 ensloure. But if your computer uses Serial ATA drives (aka SATA) then be sure you get an external that supports that.
    Alternatively, for about $20 or less you can buy a cable that will hook up to either type of drive and hooks to the computer via USB . No enclosure used, so these cables are meant to hook up to bare drives, mainly for temporary access to various drives you have laying around. Here is an example...
    http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=2020
    which will let you hook up either 2.5 inch laptop drives or 3.5 inch full size drives and you can use either PATA or SATA drives with it.

  • How do i transfer from an old PC to a new laptop?

    Hi,
    Just bought myself a new laptop (windows Vista) and selling my old PC (windows Xp) to a friend. How do I transfer all my i-tunes to the new laptop? Can I send as a Win-zip file and then set it up from here or is it more complicated?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.
    If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How do I install from an old computer to a new one?

    I'd bought and installed Photoshop Elements awhile ago.  I now have a new computer. When attempting to install on new computer with the previously purchased CD, I get an error of 'not a valid serial number' though I am entering the number directly from the  CD carton.
    How do I install this onto the new computer?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Tim if you still have the installation CD then I would recommend using a computer which does have an optical drive to transfer the installation files to a USB drive.  The license type you had listed was Consignment.  It is likely there was specific installer provided with that license.
    If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend completing all of the steps listed in Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.  This includes the use of any available Adobe Installers in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  If the licensing files were damaged then it won't matter if you are using the correct installation files.  You will still receive a message that the serial number is invalid.

  • HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

    I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

    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 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. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • Can somebody tell me how to transfer iPhone/iPod backup data from my old computer to a new one?

    Is it possible for me to transfer the backup data of my iPod touch and iPhone from my old computer to a new one? I don't own any Macs, only PCs. My backup data are saved on a PC (desktop) which has Windows XP SP2 as its OS and I am planning to transfer my iPod/iPhone backup data to a laptop with Windows 7 as its OS. Is it possible? If so, can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure on how to do this, including how to find the folder where my backup data is stored. I would be very much grateful. Thanks a lot for those who may be able to help me with this matter.  ^_^
    P.S. I am planning to use an external hard disk to transfer my backup data to the new computer.

    Ah, I see. In that case your life will be much easier if you convert your library back into a portable format before you attempt to migrate it.
    The normal location for the iTunes Library.itl file is the iTunes folder at <User's Music>\iTunes though it is possible that you have previously moved the library separately from moving the media folder, or you could have your media stored outside the designated iTunes Media folder.
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
    Before you start any media files that are outside of the designated media folder will need to be consolidated. N.b. Your iTunes Media folder location should be on the target drive that you are going to build the portable library on. If you have the bulk of your library is stored in a folder on an external drive that is not currently designated as the iTunes Media folder then change this property (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) before consolidating.
    If the library is in the old style layout then it should ideally be be upgraded to iTunes Media Organisation (Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
    The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
    You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
    You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
    You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
    If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
    You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
    iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
    After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
    In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

  • I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer.  How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

    I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer.  (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?  Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

    The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
    The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
    The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
    It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
    If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
    Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

    I want to transfer photoshop elements 6 from my old computer to my new computer.  I have the serial number.  How do I do this?

    If you have a CD for your product (I assume that is where you got the serial number from!!) then you can insert it in the drive on your new machine and install it in the usual way.
    If the new machine hasn't got a CD/DVD drive then you can use another machine and copy the contents of the CD to a flash drive and use the USB port on the new machine to install the product.
    Of course you can buy an external DVD drive and use it as well if that is what you want to do.
    If, however, you don't have a CD for your product then I am afraid it is difficult to download it from Adobe website.

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Any attempts to sync the iDevice on the new computer without doing this will wipe the device and replace the existing contents with contents from the new, blank library.
    iDevices are not storage devices, they are merely mirrors of the content in iTunes.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
    As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
    Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.
