  • HT4527 My home computer with my iTunes library has crashed. How can I transfer all my music from my iPhone to my new computer

    My home computer which has my iTunes library on it how can I transfer all of my music from my iPhone to my new computer

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintan a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

  • How do I get all my music from my iPhone onto my new macbook pro's iTunes? My old laptop is broken.

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro as my old Macbook broke. I want to transfer all the music from my iPhone onto the iTunes of my new Macbook Pro, however I cannot do this by moving the tracks onto an external hardrive from the old computer to the new as the old is broken. I've looked at lots of different forums etc. on the internet and I've still had no luck! Please help me !

    Get a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac. See also, Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and How to dowload purchased music.

  • How do I get my iTunes music from my iPhone to my new MacBook?

    I had a PC that supported my iTunes library for my iPhone but now I have a MacBook Pro and I would like to have my iTunes on my new MacBook synced with my iPhone. I don't know how to do that without wipping my iPhone of its iTunes data. Also, my previous laptop is dead and will not start up even when plugged in. Help?

    Well really the best way would have been to copy the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new.  Failing that, the backup you keep against just such failures.  You cannot rely upon Apple to provide a backup service for you.  The media rights owners could just as easily decide tomorrow to no longer allow multiple downloads again, or they could pull an item from the store and it would not be available to anybody.  There's no replacement for a proper backup and a $100 external drive is peanuts compared to value most people place on their iTunes collections..

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How can I move my old messages from my PC to my new Macbook (not the profile, just the messages)?

    I have used Thunderbird for years as I am a business owner who needs to keep a copy of old emails. I have just changed from a PC to a Macbook pro, and want to move all my old archived messages from the past 2 or 3 years to my Mac, including non-archived messages (Sent & Trash) from this year. I have already created my profile in the new Mac, and have been using it for the past couple of weeks. (By the way, this is a POP mail profile.) Now I just want to move the old messages over. Which exact files do I copy and paste, and into which folders? If the folders do not yet exist, I guess I need to create them first. But where on the Mac? I have found (on my old PC) the "Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/username/ directory with Archives and Trash subdirectories. But each directory seems to have a name (like "Inbox", or "Sent" or "2013") and another file with the same name, but an ".msf" suffix (like "Inbox.msf" or "Sent.msf" or "2013.msf"). Thanks in advance to any who can help.

    The file structure is a little complex. I will use inbox as an example.
    Inbox (a large file with no file extension)
    Inbox.msf ( An index of inbox with tags etc. Can be deleted with only loss of tags)
    Inbox.sdb (a folder, indicating that the folder within Thunderbird has a sub folder.
    POP mail is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/[Server name]/
    Local folder is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/Local Folders/
    As long as you do not overwrite, you can copy and paste whole folder trees into local folders (stuff on your old computer under a mail account is best relocated to local folder and then sorted as necessary afterwards.
    Note that you should delete foldertree.json after making those sorts of copies (it forces a full refresh of the folder tree, no cache) and under no circumstances copy data with Thunderbird running. It can irrevocably corrupt things

  • How can I import my keyboard shortcuts from my iPhone to my new MACBOOK pro?

    Now I'm guessing that 99% of you don't use this feature on iPhone or Macbook so I'm curous to know who knows the answer
    I recruit a lot and have canned texts and emails (which means I usually say the same thing)
    in my iPhone I set it up (by going to General, Keyboard, Shortcuts) to have when I type in a certain phrase, it types on something else. FOR EXAMPLE
    "randq" would automatically turn into "Random Question, do you know anyone open to making more money?"
    I have around 40 of these shortcuts and want to save myself the time manually entering them one by one into my macbook.
    I know where these settings ARE but I'm wondering if there's a shorter way to do this?
    (Settings are under Language and Text, TEXT"
    If you are able to help, that would be awesome!

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s

    How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?

    I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
    Plug your phone into the computer.
    I-Tunes should open.
    Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
    Select Music in the sidebar.
    In the right window, your music should appear.
    De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
    Voila.
    I am running Yosemite 10.1.1

  • How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?

    How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?
    got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

    Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
    You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.

  • How do you import music from my iPhone to my new MacBook Pro without loosing non-purchased music?

    I recently purchased my first MacBook Pro. I am trying to import my music from my iphone to my Mac and itunes, but I do not want to sync it because I have downloaded music from previous CD's that I do not want to loose. It says that I can only transfer "Purchased" music into my itunes library? I can I transfer ALL my music from my iphone to my computer and into itunes????

    Syncing is NOT limited to purchases music. You do not need to purchase anything, just learn how to select and sync (not upload) thru iTunes. What does "not let me upload" mean? What is occurring when you try and what are you doing?
