How To Move iPod & iPad Content To New Mac

My family has been syncing our iPods & iPads to one iMac's (Running OSX 10.9.1) iTunes (11.1.4). I got my daughter a MacBook (same OSX & iTunes) and want to sync her iPod & an  iPad to the new Mac, but without loosing the content form each device (Apps she dowloaded from the mobile devices & their settings (like game progress, etc.)..
I don't seem to be able to find any solution that works. Migration Assistannt did not work.
Any help would be appreciated.

A device can only sync to one library at a time.  You need to put a copy of the library on her computer.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How to move book project to a new Mac?

    Probably a simple answer, but one I can't find on these forums.
    I have several book projects that are saved on any older Macbook, that I want to transfer to my new Macbook. How do I copy or transfer the project and all associated images? I'm running iPhoto '08 on both machines?
    Thanks and Happy New Year from Southern California!
    Ned

    Yes - to switch between them launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library option or use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
    There is no way to move just a project (book, calendar, etc) they are part of the library and can not be moved separately so the only way is to move the entire library (you can delete the unwanted parts - see Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._9a.html )

  • How to move my DWCS3 sites to new Mac with DWCS5?

    What is the procedure for moving my Dreamweaver CS3-generated sites to my new machine, running DW CS5? Is there some sort of import feature for such a thing?
    Thanks-

    Hi,
    I had to do this when my CS4 demo was about to run out.
    I bought CS5 and before I installed, I loaded DWCS4, clicked Site > Manage Sites... then clicked export.
    Loaded up CS5 clicked Site > Manage Sites...and clicked import, and selected my exported site files.
    Not sure about CS3 since I am only 2 months old in web design world.
    Hope this helps,
    Catz

  • How to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

    how to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

    1. Be sure you have your serial number.
    2. If you have only used one of two installs, install and activate on your new computer (as a precaution), then proceed to step 3. If your second install is currently used, proceed to step 3 without installing.
    3. Deactivate on you old computer and uninstall. To deactivate, open Photoshop and go to Help>Deactivate.
    You may use Photoshop on two computers at any one time. By deactivating, you may change to different computer(s).
    You can find the installer here: Download CS6 products

  • HT1695 How do I link my iPad to my new Mac mini?

    I cannot seem to link my iPad to my new Mac mini. My iPhone worked automatically but not my iPad.

    Did you create a new iTunes account or update the old one ? If you updated the old account then you can tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with the updated version and it should get 'refreshed' on the iPad.
    If you created a new account then you can still log out of the old account and log in with the new one, but any content bought/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that account (so only that account will be able to download its content or app updates).

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.
