  • My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to.  what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

    My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus.  Had to wipe it clean.  Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer.  What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch.  Any suggestions?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I transfer bookmarks from my XP PC to a new laptop with Linux Mint?

    I'm currently using a 7 year-old laptop with Windows XP. I bought a new one and I plan to install Linux Mint. Do I follow the same instructions for transferring between computers when they have different OS?

  • Basically... I had an ipod touch sync'd to my dads i tunes.. i then got an iphone and created my own apple id.. how could i transfer the media from my ipod which was used on a different apple id onto my own account without everything deleting

    Syncing an iDevice to a computer does not remove content from the computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a computer that it does not normally sync with will remove the content from that device.
    If the media was acquired with a different Apple ID it is in no way linked to your Apple ID.

  • How do I transfer photos from my older MacBookAir to my new iMac?

    How do I transfer photos from my older MacbookAir to my new iMac?

    Copy them to an external hard drive or flash drive. Then restore them from the external drive to the new computer.
    Or if you use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant they will be transferred along with everything else in your Home folder.
    Connect the two to your local network, enable File Sharing, copy the files over the network. You may need to do this in order to use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant.
