I have a new computer (PC to Mac). How do I make it my "main" computer for syncing?

I set up a sync account to sync between my former laptop (PC) but have since changed to a new one (Mac) and wish to sync my iPhone with the new one. I would like to set up the new sync account using the same e-mail address as the old account, but when I attempt to set up the account on the new laptop I am told (correctly) that the address is already used. Is it possible to delete my current sync account so that I can reuse my e-mail address?

Download them then add to iTunes.

  • I have currently purchased a new laptop, how do I make this my main computer to manage my devices?

    I have an iPhone 4s, a iPad and an iPod connected to my acct., how do I make my new laptop the main computer for all 3 devices?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    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 and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • IMac to replace Sony laptop. How do we make it our main computer?

    WE have just bought an iMac to replace Sony laptop. We would like the iMac to be our main computer and iTunes account.
    how do we change the other devices - ipad and phone to sync with the iMac instead of the laptop.
    CUrrently when you wish to sync by wifi it says it will sync when the laptop is connected.

    To have  EVERYTHING  as it is Now...
    Copy your iTunes Library From your OLD computer To your NEW computer...

    Open Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calenders->under mail scroll down to Default Account which will say Yahoo.  Tap on it & choose Verizon.  Now whenever you start an email, the default 'from' will be your Verizon email.

  • HT3819 I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and on my I-Pod. Can I use home sharing to transfer my music onto my new computer?

    I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and my i-pad. What is the easiest way to transfer my music onto my new
    computer?

    apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    Hide
    To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file from.
    From the list on the right, select the file you want to transfer, and click “Save to.”
    In the window that appears, select the destination where you want to save the file, and click Choose.
    The file is saved to the selected destination on your computer.
    SImport music and video already on your computer
    If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
    Hide
    Here are ways to add items from your computer to your iTunes library:
    Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
    If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
    By default, iTunes places a copy of each audio file in the iTunes folder (Home/Music); the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding an alias to the file (instead of creating a copy), see Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder.

    Hi,
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If after reboot that doesn't help...
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

    Hi, I have upgraded from a windows computer to a MAC, how do I change the platform for my CS5, thanks

    You don't. Platform swaps only apply to current versions. You need to buy at least the CS6 upgrade and make the switch.

  • I got a new computer. How do I make this the primary pc for all of my apple devices?

    I purchased a new pc. How do I make this the primary pc for iTunes and all of my apple devices? I need to know how to take all Itunes files off old pc and put on new pc. Also, disable old pc.

    Backup your library using this User Tip.
    The same tool can be used to backup other important user data.
    Deauthorise the old computer
    Restore the library into the music folder of your new profile. (Use the same tool as for the backup)
    Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

  • I have rented a movie on my apple TV, and would like to have it available on my computer to watch. How do i watch it on my computer without getting charged again?

    I have rented a movie on my apple TV, and would like to have it available on my computer to watch. How do i watch it on my computer without getting charged again?

    You can't if your rented it on your Apple TV - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

    I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

    Obvious question: If you want to have access to the same folders andapplications, why have two accounts? The point of different accounts is that you don't have access to the other person's data.
    Any application in the HD/Applications folder is available in all accounts.
    Sharing data between accounts depends on the material being shared. So, if you can provide more details we maybe able to help you better.
