HT4623 How do you switch an iPhone 4S from old computer to new computer?

I switched from a laptop to a new desktop, and no matter how many times I plug 4S in it will now sync with new computer. Do I need to change name of computewr in 4S? And how do you do that?

You first need to copy the iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer. Or a backup of the iTunes library from the old computer that you made. The reason is that an iPhone can only sync to one computer. If you change computers the new computer will erase the iPhone contents when you sync and replace the contents with whatever is on the new computer. If nothing is on the new computer then nothing will end up on the iPhone after sync.
When you say it will not sync, please be more specific. Does it not appear in iTunes? If it appears, does it ignore the Sync button, or does it display an error? What is the error?

  • How do you move iTunes and songs from old PC to new PC?

    I currently have iTunes installed on my work PC with Windows XP Pro. I want to move iTunes and all my songs to my home PC which is running Windows Vista Home Edition. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes to my home PC and need to figure out a way to move all my music from my work PC to my home PC. I tried backing up all my music to 2 CD-RW discs and then drag and drop them into iTunes on my home PC. The music shows up in iTunes but I am not able to play it in iTunes. Any ideas why? Is there a better way to move my music from one PC to another?

    Have you seen this article about using your iPod to trnasfer your music:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    The same basic method works whatever storage device you use.
    As for the CD Problem, do the tracks have excamation marks next to them in iTunes?
    If So you may not have iTunes set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked.
    See Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced.
    If this option was not checked, the files stayed on the CDS.

  • How do you guys transfer photoshop cs6 from old laptop to new one?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to transfer photoshop cs6 from my old macbook to new one.
    I tried to do it through using migration, but it doesn't work.
    Is there a better solution? or do I need to buy new one ?

    Migration does not work well with Adobe programs. Deactivate it on your old machine. Then use the Creative Cloud Cleaner on the new machine to get rid of the unsuccessfully migrated software.  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    Then do a complete new install on the new machine, and activate it.

    Received a new mac for my daughter.  How do you get all the information from old mac?

    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant when your shiny new Mac first starts up (not Migration Assistant later).
