HT1296 How do I switch WiFi syncing on my iOS device from an old computer to a new computer?

While trying to move between an old computer a new computer I find that I cannot convince my iPad to WiFi sync to the new computer and no amount of power cycles seems to affect it.

You set up WiFi syncing for a new computer just like you did for the old computer.
If you still have the old computer, connect the iPad to it and unselect WiFi Syncing with it. Uncheck Sync this iPad over WiFi and click on Apply, then eject the iPad.
I assume the power cycles means turning on off the iPad and the computer and restart them. Instead of just restarting the iPad, reset it and reboot your computer again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
It might not hurt to reboot your router either. Unplug it for about 30 seconds - or is this part the the "power cycles" that you already tried?
It would really help if you explain what happens, what steps you have gone through, etc ....rather than just making a statement about what you can't do. If you tell is what you have gone through, it might be helpful.
Are you taking about all WiFi syncing or can you manually initiate the sync but it will not auto sync when plugged in etc, etc. .... Details ....

    Well, sorry to bring you the bad news, but you can stop right there. CS3 is not compatible with OSX 10.8 or 10.9.

  • Why won't Apple allow WiFi sync'g of iOS devices on PowerPC Macs running OS 10.5.8 and latest iTunes?

    Another note, I can't believe that after all of this time with the new discussion boards, you still can't edit posts from any of Apple's iOS devices.
    I posted this on my iPAd and had to just edit this from my Mac because I accidentally posted this question before I finished.

    My Mac connects to the Internet via WiFi through a WifI card. I am running OS X 10.5.8 and the latest update of iTunes to find that Apple has (I think) artificially, not allowed sync'g of iOS devices on 10.5.8. This option is greyed out and says for OS 10.6 and above only.
    Why impose this limit if we Leopard users can still use the latest version of iTunes and have WiFi capabiltity to do so?

  • HT1296 I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new one.  But  I can't figure out how!

    I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new iphone.

    Connect the new phone to the computer and iTunes, then sync your library. I'm guessing that you have been syncing the old phone in the past, which would keep your library updated.

  • I have an iPod that has music from CD's that I no longer have. The iPod was synced to an old computer that crashed. My current iPhone and my old iPod share an itune's account. Is there a way I can transfer my music from my old iPod to my new computer?

    I have an old iPod touch with songs from CD's I no longer have (so they weren't purchased on iTunes). The computer that the songs were synced on crashed a while ago. Is there a way I can sync my old iPod to my new computer and retrieve those songs to get them on my new iPhone? They share an Apple ID and iTuens account.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • HT1296 can i transfer music that wasn't purcahsed on itunes from my ipod touch to my new computer?

    can i transfer my music that WASN'T purchased on itunes from my ipod touch to my new computer?
    i have no back up for this music as my old computer and external hard drive i used for back up both died and so the only place i have them at the moment is on my ipod and most of it i cant get again so if my ipod gets wiped clean by connecting it to a new itunes i wont be able to get the songs again.
    does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?
    Thanks

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

    I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

    To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
    ...  The PC she synced with is dead
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
    If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
    All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
    There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

  • How do you move your CS4 Design Premium from a old commuter to a newer computer?

    I currently have the CS4 Design Premium on a laptop that has seen its last years. I would like to take the program and put it on my newer Desktop. I have no idea how to do that. Please help!

    If you don't plan to use the old computer anymore you can deactivate the software on it by opening one of the applications and choosing Help -> Deactivate.  But if you could possibly use it as a backup installation feel free to leave it there in working order (you license allows you to have two activated installations).
    To install on a new machine do just that... install it and activate it using the serial number you have from the original purchase.  If you registered the software you should be able to find the serial number thru your Adobe account online.
    Here is a link for downloading...

  • How do I migrate my extensive ipad files and apps from my old iMac to my new windows machine?

    I had to go to a windows machine. All of my stuff, apps, books, music, pictures, etc. is on my iMac. Is there any way to gracefully move the information  from the iMac to the windows machine? It's about 60 GB.

    If all your data is on your iTunes library, follow the steps of this site to transfer your library to a PC with an external disk > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 You have to do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" step on your PC.
    Apart from that, if you have got more data you want to transfer, you can put it in the external disk, too. You must do this because there isn't an app to migrate files from a Mac to the PC

    You cannot transfer anything from one account to another.  Purchases are always tied to the account from which they weere purchased.

  • HT1386 need to sync my old ipod with my new computer, How do I keep my old stuff on the new computer?

    How can I transfer stuff from my old Ipod to my new computer?

    Still did not work. I did everything listed. The program did not work as needed because it is only the free version and I should not have to pay for 3rd party software for something like this. Also, that article is outdated because windows 7 does not come with contacts software, but I managed to get it to work with a helpful post on another forum. Itunes still asked me to replace current iPod's data, I went ahead and clicked yes. I'll just go ahead and redownload all of my music and whatnot. Thanks anyway.

    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.

    Jeff ~ Yes. Make a copy of the iWeb Domain file (normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, although it can be moved) and then open it in iWeb by double-clicking. Delete the site you don't want in that Domain file by selecting the site in the left side column and then Edit menu > Delete Site. Then you can transfer than Domain file to another computer, but check out NOTE 1 here:
