HT1727 How do you transfer apps and their data (i.e. preferences, game saves etc.) from an old PC to a new Mac?

My iPhone 4 was originally synced with the PC and I'm now trying to migrate it all over to the Mac. Currently, every time I try to sync the iPhone with the new Mac, I get a message saying "All existing apps and their data will be replaced by apps on this computer". I've used the "Transfer Purchases" option so the apps on the phone are also on the Mac.

Migrate your library from the PC to the Mac. Normally all you need to do is copy teh entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other over a network or using an external drive.
If your PC is no longer functional see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How do you transfer apps from an iPad to iPad2

how do you transfer apps from iPad to iPad2

If you just want to install the apps then you can either sync them from your computer's iTunes or re-download them directly on the iPad 2 : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you want to sync the apps and their content from the frist gen iPad then you can backup the iPad 1, and then restore the iPad 2 from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079 - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (if you don't have the apps on your computer then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)

When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder. When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library. When I hit "apply" I got this message:
Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
(By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
Thanks for your help - Pat

I have the same problem. I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad - clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad. WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

I have 2 Macs - an iMac that holds my entire iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro that I use to hold a subset of the main library - how can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library of the iMac to my Mac Book?

I have 2 Macs - an iMac which holds my main iPhoto library and a Mac Book Pro which holds a subset of the library. How can I transfer photos and their metadata from the main library to the smaller 1 on the Mac Book Pro?

Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager

Trying to sync my iPad and get the message that "all existing apps and their data will be replaced"

Previously my Windows 7 laptop didn't recognise my iPad but I persevered and now am getting the message when trying to update the iOS that if I sync, "all existing apps and their data will be replaced" so I'll lose everything I've bought since I last synced (which is a while). How can I back up my apps before syncing fully and then updating. I have 'transferred purchases' using the File menu but still getting the message.

Sounds like you have created a new library somehow. Ideally you would restore your old library and the problem would go away. If that is not possible then you should be able to:
Backup the device to the computer
Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Download remaining past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, where available
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Please help with restoring different apps and their data between 2 iPads

I just bought a new iPad Air 2 . I currently have 2 iPads, 1st gen and iPad 2nd, each with its own set of apps and their data. I backed up each older iPad manually as a full backup. I created a separate library for one of them when doing this. Now I want to transfer iPad 1st gen apps and data to iPad 2nd, so I reset iPad 2nd to factory and then restored from the manual back up of the iPad 1st gen and it seems to work fine. Before that I had backed up iPad 2nd's current data. So now I now I want to transfer the iPad 2nd apps and data to the new iPad Air. I selected the backup by the time stamp that I had backed up iPad 2nd. I didn't know how to rename each iPad to something unique. It restored from backup, but it's all the apps and data from my iPad 1st gen backup, not iPad 2nd.
I'm utterly confused. Even when I have the separate iTunes library open it shows all the manual backups I performed, so it's not truly a separate library. Do I need to manually install/remove the various apps on the newer iPad?

If you only have 1 file per quarter, one obvious thing to do would be to edit out the time in between plays, the time-outs, and the like. That is easily done in iMovie.
Having said that, importing (and exporting) in high definition takes time, and your times do not seem unreasonable.

I have just updated to the latest io5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on there?

i have just updated to the latest ios 5 and have lost apps and their data, can i reverse the new update to get back what i had on my ipad?

There is no need to do that, I had the same problem pal! Just do this and all should be fine!
Delete one of the app's and re-install it, then for some reason everythign is restored to as it was!
Hope you get on fine, let me know!
Thanks

photo shop elements 12
What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
What installation files or installation disc do you have?
You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
Mac computer.
But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400. The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.
