iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such a reason. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.

How can I sync my iPad with a new laptop (same itunes account) and not lose all my app data, i.e. games data stored on the ipad, not the app itself?

I want to sync my iPad with a new laptop, so I can get rid of the old computer. I have already downloaded all the itunes content on the new laptop, but when i go to sync, it tells me that itunes will erase and copy all the apps from the new library. The 2 computers are on the same account, so is there a way to copy the apps (including app data) onto the new laptop, instead of vice versa?

New PC: how can I sync my Iphone with a new PC without loosing data?

I have an old Windows Vista PC with Itunes.
I want to sync my iPhone4 with a new Windows 8 PC.
I only sync music and video with the iphone and itunes, NOT email adress contacts, etc (I do not want to mix and mingle all my contacts on PC and phone).
I DO want to take all the contacts to the new itunes.
Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
Anyone any advice how to do this simple thing which is made super complex by Apple? Thanks.
( @ Apple: Apple engineers and Apple marketing should be ashamed that there is no simple way to do this, and there is no simple and clear information on the apple website for this !!!)

Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
To what do you sync your contacts? Icloud? Other service?

Correct. The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
It should be very simple. Everything should be on your computer, or cloud service. The itunes simply allows your information from your computer, cloud service to be protable.
Copy everything to the new computer, then sync.

How can I sync my iPad3 with my new computer's itunes without deleting all my music?

When I try to sync my music from my iTunes to my iPad3, itunes says that it will delete all my music, movies, etc currently on my iPad with what I have on my current iTunes. I have music and movies on here from at least one other computer using the same Apple ID. I was able to just highlight and drag all my music to my iPad (which caused a lot of duplicates), but my itunes really just does not want to cooperate with my iPad. Everything I try to do it just wants to either delete what I already have or not work at all.

You can sync your iOS device with a single iTunes Library. So if you sync your iPad with your present iTunes library all the music and videos would be deleted.
You can always transfer the media from your old iTunes library to the new one if they are on different commuter using a USB drive and then add those media to the new iTunes library and sync your iPad then.

How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....

How can I sync my Iphone with a new apple ID and keep the old content?

Just got a new computer and had to create a new apple ID. I want to sync my iphone but keep all my contacts, apps, music, etc. from my old apple ID. How would I go about that?

If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

How can I sync my iPhone with my new macbook air that already has music on it?

I need help! I have an Iphone 4 that has all my music on it but I recently got a macbook air that already has all my songs. I want to sync my phone with my itunes but it says i may not want to. What do I do?

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Make sure everything is on the new computer.
