I would like to transfer my contacts from an old computer to new one both on Thunderbird
Got a new computer and I just wanted to transfer all the contacts in my address book from there to my new computer on Thunderbird rather than painstakingly doing it one at a time! Can I import them all?
I think I should clarify a bit more... Both my old computer and new computer have Thunderbird on them. I just want to "magically" get all my address book contacts from the old computer and older version of Thunderbird to the new computer and newer version (I assume) of Thunderbird. Is this possible? I am not REAL computer literate so the directions (if there are any) must be easy to understand.
Thanks -
I am trying to transfer my music from an old computer to a new one. Nothing I recorded from Ion (I have spent over 2 years on this, so I am almost in tears thinking I have wasted 2 years) is showing up on the new computer. When I put a burned CD into the old computer, it lists title and artist. When I put it in the new computer, it shows up as "unknown." It seems that I have a whole lot of unknown files I transfered, but they do not show up in Itunes. To make matters wose, what did transfer (not Ion recorded items) is there multiple times. Some things are there twice, some six times. That makes no sense.
Can someone please help?One way is to Drag and Drop the Entire iTunes Folder from your Old Computer to an External Hard Drive...
Then Drag and Drop the Entire iTunes Folder to the location of your Music on the New Computer...

How do I transfer my songs from my old computer to my laptop? They are both the same iTunes account.
These are two possible approaches that should work to move an existing iTunes library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where computer has died with no backup then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Hi, i need to transfer my staff from the old iphone4 to new one iphone 4s
hi,
i need to copy or backup everything from my old iphone 4G to restore or transfer it to the new one Iphone 4S
Thank you
MohamedWhich iPod model is it? Does it connect with USB? If it needs FireWire (3rd gen iPod or older), the current Mac mini still has FireWire, but it is FireWire 800 (9-pin) so you will need an adapter to convert it to the old FireWire 400 (6-pin).
Once the iPod connects to the Mac, you cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new Mac, you can add them to the iTunes library. -
How do I switch music from my old computer to new one???? PLEASE HELP
i just got a new computer and i'd like to use my ipod on ths one instead but i really dont want to lose all of my music! if you know anything it would be really appreciated! thanx
I just did this same thing last night. Go to the main support page on the Apple site. On page 15 of the tutorial there are detailed instructions that go like this...
Use your iPod to transfer music to another computer.
Select your iPod in the iTunes source list, click the iPod Options button, and then choose the option to Manually manage songs and playlists.
Look at the bottom of the iTunes window to check the amount of free space available on your iPod.
If the amount of space used is greater than half the total space, you’ll need to delete songs from your iPod by selecting them and pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
Go to the Advanced menu and choose Consolidate LIbrary. This will make sure that all music on your computer is stored in the same place.
Quit iTunes and then locate the iTunes folder. On a Mac you’ll find it in the Music folder in your Home folder. On a PC you’ll find it in the My Music folder inside the My Documents folder.
Copy the iTunes folder to your iPod, eject the iPod, and then connect it to the new computer.
Copy the iTunes folder from the iPod to the same location on the new computer, replacing an existing folder if necessary.
Delete the iTunes folder from your iPod to make room.
Open iTunes on the new computer. You’ll see your entire music library.
In iTunes, set your iPod to automatically update all songs and playlists. Your iPod is now linked to your new computer.
Good luck! If you have many songs...it will take an hour or more.

Transferring files from old computer to new one
I just purchased an HP Envy 700 series and am trying to transfer my files from my old computer. My problem is that the old computer has a fried motherboard so I put the old hard drive in an external case and hooked it up to the new computer to transfer the files. When I try to access the "users" folder on the old drive I get a message telling me I don't have permission to access the folder. Is there anything I can do to get past this?
The OS on the old computer was Windows 7 Home and the new one is Windows 7 Pro.
I have developed a work around for my problem. I put the old hard drive in an external case and then hooked it up to my laptop. I then lower the User Account Control setting to its lowest setting (after I turn off my access to the internet) and then I am able to access all the files in the account that was blocked before. It is tedious trying to transfer many GB's of data using a thumb drive but it is getting done. -
how can i transfer my songs from my nano to a new itunes account because when i try to it tells me that i need to errase whatever is on the nanno ans then i can sync whats on my itunes but i want to put these songs and store them onto this new itunes acc
Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I have burned numerous cd's onto my old computer. Many of these songs cannot be purchased on Itunes (Garth Brooks for example). My old computer died and now I can't transfer these songs from my ipod onto my new computer. How can I retreive my data?
What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs for syncing preferences?

how can i transfer hindi songs from laptop (window ultimate) to new ipad ? pl. help
If you haven't already done so then download and install iTunes : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Add the songs into your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library
Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Music - if you select that tab you can then select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad (it should sync to the Music app on the iPad).
