I have an Iphone 3G and have bought a new computer.

How do I port over my Iphone and its content to the new computer? For some reason it does not appear to be straight forward as I would think it would be

Using a windows PC you will need to Install iTunes on the new machine, Authorise the copy of iTunes on your new computer.
Then copy the information Music/Movies etc... from the old one onto the new one by CD/DVD/EX-HDD etc...
Make sure you have one contact in the Address book and Contact list on your new machine.
Then connect the iPhone, it will give you a warning about deleting all the information on the device this is fine assuming you have transferred all your music and everything across properly prior to this.
When it comes to syncing contacts/calendars make sure to choose the Merge option so it combines the contacts and calendars on the new computer with those on the iPhone meaning you don't lose any of this information 9which is whay it is important to have those bogus contacts which you can delete later)

P.S.
I think on that link to the thread supplied i was talking about transferring it over on Mac computers so the migration assistant and stuff doesn't apply here.
Note:
As with anything on a computer i would recommend you also backup all your information before hand in case the you know what hits the fan, just so your covered.
Oh and if your not going to use your old computer and the iTunes copy on it remembering you can only sync the iPhone to one iTunes library at a time remember to de-authorise the old machine after everythings been synced up properly on your new machine

Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

Hi davadlaw,
You can install Acrobat on the new PC and use your Adobe ID to activate the software.
The purchased subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.

I have been with PS since PS6,7,CS2 andCS5. I have bought a new computer. I have long since lost my original disk/packaging. How do I transfer to the new computer.

Presumably you want to reinstall CS5.
You can download the CS5 trial from http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page before you click the download links.
To license CS5 on your computer, launch the CS5 trial, enter your CS5 serial number then enter your CS2 serial number as an earlier qualifying version.

Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Transferring iPhone 4 and to iTunes on new computer

I have new laptop. My iTunes was originally setup on my desktop where I connected my iPhone.
When I connect my iPhone4 to that new iTunes on my laptop will the data from that iPhone transfer to iTunes on my new computer?

Music purchased on the iPhone can be transferred to the computer, but ripped music that was copied to the phone cannot be. Also, playlists created on the computer will not be copied back.

I have bought a new computer and don't want to reinstall all my apps. What do I do?

I still have my old computer available so is it possible to transfer a backup over from that to my new laptop to save having to setup all my apps again?

Yes, if what you want to do is transfer the contents of your old computer to the new one that is the right way to go about it.
Whatever Windows uses for migrating one's account from an old computer to a new one, use it. Leave your iPhone out of the equation for now. Once your new computer is configured and its iTunes library is indistinguishable from the old computer's, sync your iPhone to it. iTunes will inform you that it was synced with another computer and give you the choice to "erase and sync" it to the new computer. That's the choice you want.
After it is synced, return to your old computer and "deauthorize" it from the iTunes Store menu.

HT3819 I have bought a new computer because my old one is out dated. I have upgraded everything, but my ringtones did not download how do I get them back?

I just bought a new laptop, beacuse my old on was out dated. On the old one my ringtones are on the itunes, however when I upgraded they did not download to the new computer in itunes, how can i get them back. The old computer will not support the upgraded version IOS-5? Thanks for your help. Mitzi

As far as I know ringtones can only be downloaded once. If they are still on your old computer then you should be able to copy them over via, for example, a flash drive, and then add them to the new computer's iTunes via File > Add File To Library (or Add Folder To Library) - they should then appear in the Tones part of your iTunes library.
You should be able to locate where the ringtones are stored on your old computer by right-clicking on them in iTunes and selecting 'Show In Windows Explorer'
