I don't want to lose my bookmarks and system I've set up, how do I sync a new computer without losing my old sync information?

I have a very extensive bookmark system already in place with the old sync. I just got a new laptop and need all of those bookmarks to transfer and sync to the new laptop. The website tells me that it doesn't recognize my account name, and I don't want to lose all my old information. I am scared that the procedure they mention if you have an old account, will not sync my bookmarks. How should I proceed?

Note that you have to update ALL of your devices to use Firefox 29 in order to use the new Sync. Once you update your Sync account to the new version using the [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]] link then your bookmarks ,etc will be transferred over.
Thank you Ed for putting that in. It's always recommended to back up all of your personal information e.g. bookmarks, passwords in case something goes wrong.

My iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by iTunes. I did update, but still, it won't work. I don't want to uninstall the iTunes cos I don't want to lose my music and audio books. What to do? It started after I updated iTunes.

iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?

I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck!

I have an Ipod Touch and I wanted to synch it to a new computer without losing anything, especially my playlists. Can this be done?

I want to sync my ipod to a new computer without losing the anything currently on my ipod, especially my music playlists. It seems like you can only synch to one computer. Both computers are mine, so what difference does it make?

Follow the instructions here. You can only sync with one iTunes library. That is how Apple has it work. You may loose the playlist but you will not lose the songs.

I have an iPad and and iPhone. They share an iCloud and I want separate iCloud accounts. How do I create a new account without losing any information? I want to keep the original account on one device.

I have an iPad and an iPhone that share an iCloud account. I didn't realize when I got my iPad last year that when I signed up the iCloud on the device that it would share and use 5g of iCloud between the both of them. How do I unsync them and have two separate iCloud accounts? I don't care about sharing between them. When my kids put games on my iPad, I don't want them going on my phone. How do I create a new iCloud without losing any info on the other device?

Nothing happens when I click on the friefox icon this morning. I have been using it successfully for the past year or so until now. I am worried about uninstalling and reinstalling because i desperatly don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help!?

Firefox seems unresponsive today and I can't open a webpage (I'm using explorer to write this). I have followed the advice on the trouble shoot page and nothing has helped or applied to my problem. If I uninstall (to reinstall) I do not want to lose the bookmarks I have built up. I am using windows 7 on a Dell laptop.

'''I have also been having a problem I thought it was me or my computer'''as I am not really that good with my computer ,Also there are pages that I try to go to hat says pages busy or moved can not connect,but I can from explorer.

Although I am logged in as an admin, I can't check for updates or update Firefox. I'm on a Mac and would rather not delete this version and just reinstall the new version bc I don't want to lose my bookmarks. Please help - thanks.

I need to update Firefox to the latest version, but check for updates is grayed out. I am already logged in as an admin for my computer (it's a Mac), but my computer is telling me that I don't have permission to update Firefox. How can I update Firefox? I don't want to delete and reinstall because then I will lose my bookmarks.
Thanks!

I just got my iMac and would like to sync my iPhone to it. It says its linked to another library. It asks to delete contents before syncing. I don't want to lose what I've bought on the phone. How do I get around this?

Help? Suggestions.

Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc.

How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

HT1296 I bought a new computer and I want to sync my iPod Touch with the new computer without losing data.

I bought a new computer and want to use the new computer to sync data with my iPod touch. I understand that you can only sync a device with one computer at a time. This if fine because I don't care to sync my iPod with the old computer anymore. How do I set up my new computer to be the computer that syncs with my iPod touch from now on, without losing any data?

You don't.
When you sync to a different computer it erases the content from the ipod and replaces it with the data from the new computer.
Just copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one, then sync

I want to sync my iPod to a new computer without losing app data. Is this possible?

My ipod says all data will be erased when I sync it to the new computer even though all of the music and apps have been transfered from the old computer. I want to keep the app data, but how do I do this? Is it even possible?
