How to move iphone info from old computer/OS to new computer/OS?

I am at a loss as to how I should move my iPhone 4 apps, info, etc. from my old desktop onto my new laptop (my desktop is a 2007 mac mini). I need to move my mac account info to iCloud and want to streamline my life onto one computer which is the latest MacBook Pro with Lion. Are there any suggestions?

Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

    how do i transfer information (contacts, etc.) from old iphone 3 to new 4gs?

    Assuming that you've been syncing your iPhone 3 to your computer/iTunes, plug it in one last time and let it backup. Then plug in your 4S, and when 'setting up phone' choose the latest backup.
    Let me know if that doesn't make sense or something doesn't work!

  • How to move all info from original user identity to new user identity

    I bought a new printer and had some problems. In the process of 'fixing' the problems with the help of HP tech support I have since lost the ability to print from my original printer. I have found that I can print from a new user identity to both printers, so I'm figuring the easiest way to fix this problem is to physically transfer everything I have on my original user profile to a new user profile so that my printing problems are fixed. I can print to the new printer from the original user profile. So if there is a way that I could fix it so that I can print to the old printer that would be even better. But I've given in to the fact that I'm going to have to delete the original user profile and use a new one.
    If any one has any tips on the easiest way to do this with out losing anything I've aquired that would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm just taking a wild guess here but: the situation you described sounds like there is a problem somewhere with you original user's settings, probably in your ~/Library Folder. If you really were to transfer all of your old users information to the new account, including all files and settings there is a fair chance that you would also import whatever the problem is on your original account.
    So you should as you said either try to fix your old printer in your old profile so both work there or transfer only your data files such as the Music, Pictures, Movies and Documents folders from your original home directory to the new home directory. You could also import the ~/Library Folder in bits and always make sure that you can still print but that would probably take as long as finding the problem in the original account. I hope that helps amking a choice which way to go.

    how can i sync music from my phone onto my new computer without losing it all? my old computer's hard drive crashed so it is unusable.

    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

    how do I move my music from my ipad to a new computer with itunes.  I have already done the purchases

    If you want to copy music off then File > Transfer Purchases will only copy iTunes purchased music off the iPad. To copy music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs then you will need to use a third-party program to copy them off - see the page that I linked to for some examples.
