Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • I forgot my passcode on my iPad and it was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this?

    I have forgotten my passcode on my iPad. It was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this and if it at all possible without losing everything that was on it. Thanks for the help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How can I deactivate an old computer that I know longer have?

    How can I deactivate an old computer that I know longer have? I own two computers and Adobe permits two computers on a subscription. However, when I bought my third new computer and didn't deactivate my old computer, I did not notify Adobe. Now, there is a message saying that I must deactivate the old computer to register the new computer. I don't know how to do this. Can anyone help?

    You cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so unless you've hit that limit it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover the now-useless authorization.
    If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize a system and you're not at the five-system limit, you can try contacting  the iTunes Store customer support department through their Contact form (follow the on-screen instructions)  and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
    Regards

    I am trying to install an app in my iphone.  When I click Install, my old gmail account comes up for verification and it asks for my password etc.  I dont use this account anymore and have a new gmail account that is associated with my apple account.  How can I get the new gmail to default when I am trying to install apps?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • Old compuer died; how do i get all my bookmarks to the new computer?

    My old computer has crashed. Is there a way I can retrieve my old bookmarks on line and transfer them to my new computer?

    Where you using Firefox Sync on the old PC? <br/>
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/What+is+Firefox+Sync
    If not, were you using something else to store your bookmarks "online"? Like maybe Xmarks or Delicious??
    If you weren't using anything for saving /sharing bookmarks online or for "syncing" your bookmarks, they aren't "online".
    Do you have the hard drive from the old PC? If so, maybe that hard drive would work long enough for you to be able to access your files on the old drive if it is put in a USB enclosure and plugged into the new PC? <br />

  • HT202213 Is it possible to obtain songs that I purchased several years ago, on an old computer that I no longer have, to my new Mac and iPhone?

    I was looking at my itunes account today and I noticed it keeps a record of all my purchased songs from my itunes account.  I'm wondering if there is any way to get those songs from as far back as 2004-2011 which I purchased on about 4 old computers (none of which I still have) on my current Mac and iPhone? 

    Yes. Go to the itunes store Click on Purchased in the Quick Links section.
    Select what content you want and click the cloud icon by it to download at no extra cost

  • My old iPad died & was replaced by Apple - how do I get my apps & tunes onto the new iPad?

    Can anyone help please?

    when you set it up, using the same apple ID you used for the old one, you will have two choices, set up as new or restore from the backup of your old one. Choose that and your new one will be a near clone of the old one.
    Beyond that, signed in with the same apple ID as your old one, you can redownload your content and apps (providing they're still available in the app store/itunes)

    If you mean iTunes libraries or computer user accounts, just create one. To make a new iTunes library on Windows, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose Create Library.
