  • How do you move the iphone from one computer to another.

    I am having a lot of trouble with a computer so I started using a different one. I have never had an iphone on this computer. When I hook up the phone and try to put anything on it, like a ringtone, it says that the phone is using another iTunes and it wants to erase all the content of the phone. I searched the internet and it says to just move it and all will be good. This I have found is not true!!

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to the new or different computer per the instructions included with this link. Transferring your iTunes library from your old computer to the new or different computer you will be be using now to sync your iPhone with per the instructions included with this link (along with authorizing the new or different computer with your iTunes account with iTunes) will prevent any iTunes content on your iPhone that was transferred from your old computer from being erased from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on the new or different computer.

  • How do i move itunes account from one computer to another?

    I need to move my wife's itunes account from her PC to my Mac.  It will be the second itunes account on our mac.  She will long in as her own user on the mac.

    One way is to Drag and Drop your  Entire iTunes Folder   from your Old Computer, to an External Hard Drive...
    Then Drag and Drop it to your New Computer...

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

  • How do I move a user from one computer to another?

    Our company has a volume license for CS4 and I am trying to move an employee from one MAC to another MAC.  When she logs into new MAC and tries to open InDesign or Creative Cloud they both crash.  The other programs are opening up fine.  The new MAC has a user that all CS4 programs work fine as well. 

    CS4 is from LONG before the Cloud... but recent messages that are about Cloud programs indicate that the Apple "migration tool" does not work... you need to do a new install & activation

  • How do you move iTunes music from an old computer to a new computer?

    Advice and options would be greatly appreciated.

    are we talking Mac or that other OS ?
    Mac:
    the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    winsloth:
    copy the entire iTunes folder from the old to the exact same location on the new machine. you can use an external HD or your network to do that.

  • How do you move itunes to a new computer, keeping the songs in the library?

    I have a laptop now and would like to move the itunes from my home computer to my laptop. Is there a way to move it and keep my purchased songs in the library?

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. 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 default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): 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

  • HT1751 How can I move iTunes Music from one drive to another?

    I'm having trouble ... hoping someone can help.
    Windows XP Pro.
    My MP3s were on a networked Data Drive (Z:).  I drag the songs I want on iTunes from there to the iTunes program, and it's library
    was in the "normal" place (\Documents and Settings\MyName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music ).
    I copied my iTunes library folder onto an external drive and also copied the Z drive MP3s onto the external drive. I then put the MP3s
    on a new computer with Windows XP Pro, downloaded the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, and then drug the iTunes
    folder from the external drive onto the new computer in the exact same "normal" place as above.
    When I open iTunes, my music is not there for some reason.  Is there any way to correct this sort of readding all my music and all
    my cover art?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the response.
    I cannot find the file   iTunes Library.itl   ...   
    I have the structure you mention:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl where <User's Music> is the music folder of the profile as defined by the operating system.
    but that file is not there (I looked in the preferences of iTunes in order to find the location and that is the location it stated).
    "iTunes can be connected to a library in a different location by holding down shift as you start it and clicking Choose from the options to Choose or Create a library."
    I can do this, but again, there is no .itl file that I can find ... now I'm more confused         Of course, if I fire up my old computer, there is no drive Z any longer, so while all my music appears on iTunes, I cannot click on any as it then will not be able to find the song on the drive that no longer exists.
    I am going to do a search on the old computer for that .itl file to see if it was just in some other place for some reason.

    I guess you mean whether I would be able to add one of the iPads to the new AC Mac by putting it in Restore mode and supervising it from that Mac? That will probably work. My problem is, that I've done that with the whole batch (60+ as I said earlier) when moving to a dedicated account within my own PowerBook some time ago. That takes an awfull lot of time, because it involves doing manual tweaking per iPad and adding the purchased apps again (in the Netherlands we don't have VPP so that is a manual process).
    I would really rather have the settings transfered and continue working on the Mac Mini than starting all over again.
