I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers
I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers, it's telling me it will erase what's on my iPad and re-sync. Will I lose my iPad data that's on it?
No - not at all. Look at that one app that I gave you the link for. That is supposed to transfer all of the iPad content to the new computer. I have no idea how much it costs, but it's worth a look. There are other out there as well. Google "apps to transfer iPad content to computer" or something to that effect. These apps claim to transfer everything.
Several things to remember - you can still transfer all of the iTunesicon tent that you purchased by using the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes. Just remember to turn off auto syncing before you do it. You will also have to authorize your new computer to transfer the purchase if you haven't done so already. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store> Authorize this computer.
Plus any apps or music that you have bought can be downloaded again at no charge with the cloud feature in the latest iPad iOS.
EDIT - I see that you did transfer the purchases. Look at one of those apps that I described and they should be able to get you set up. You should also invest in an external hardrive for backing up all of your computer content ... don't want this to happen again!

So I had an ipod touch, got a lot of my music from my old CD's that i later threw away, then got a new computer and lost all my music on my itunes, but still have it all on my itouch. I just simply want to get my music from my itouch to my computer. I now have a iphone and it would be nice to put some of that music on my phone as well.
Hope someone can help me!!!
thanks,
SophiaWhile that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

I got a new computer and im trying to move my music from my old one to my new one HELP PLEASE
Okay I tried to use my usb and it was good and I put the music on there and
then I plugged it in my new computer and I dragged it from the usb to iTunes
and then it was playing and fine THEN I un plug the usb and I click on a song
and it says It cant find the file....Reconnect the USB drive and organize the library from within iTunes. To prevent this happening again, either drag the library to the internal drive or set iTunes to automatically copy the files to the iTunes Media folder.

As the title says really. I deauthorized my old computer and therefore i thought that would mean i could sync my ipod, when i authorized my new one but it won't sync to my library on this laptop. why?
Before you start, remember that connecting to a new iTunes library will erase your device during the first sync.
Here's how to save your data and settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
After that you can connect it and set it up again. If it is not recognized in iTunes, follow this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
My custom ringtones don't show up in my iTunes library (only on my iPhone library) so I'm afraid that if I sync to the new computer I'll lose my tones. I've tried backing up on my computer, but then I can't find that information to bring into iTunes. I've tried backing up to the Cloud, but it requires me purchasing more space (which I don't want to do). I've already turned off most of my apps, but I'm still over the limit.

I can long into my iTunes account, but I can't get it listed as one of my devices, so I can't download any of my songs or update my phone... Help please
Hello there, Wasabi Donut.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps on just how to authorize your computer:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
Particularly:
To authorize a computer using your Apple ID
Open iTunes
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

I got a new computer and I ma trying to migrate everything over.
My old setup I had half my photos on an internal drive and half on an external drive.
I hooked up my external drive to the new computer and everything synced up very well. Everything on the external drive showed up.
I decided to move the files from the internal drive to the external one since it worked so well just like the lady in the adobe.tv said to.
When I tried moving the files to the external drive the computer died 10 minutes into the move. so now i have 1/4 of the files on the external drive and 3/4 are still on the internal drive.
I finally got all the files to the external drive but all the folders are screwed up. Some photos are in the wrong folders and there are two folders for some projects. NOW i cant simply just direct lightroom to the new location because of all the folder discrepancies.
Where do i go from here. Do I just import the folders again? Do I just import everything on the drive? Do I make a new catalog?Step 1 is to clean up the external HD and get the folders as they should be. Only after that can you think about what you might do with LR.
At that point, you should be able to open the LR catalog and reconnect the "missing" files.
