I just bought a new Mac. How do I get everything I have on my iphone to the new computer?

I just bought a Mac and I have an iphone that use to be connected to a PC. Could I transfer everything I have on my iphone to the new Mac? Will I loose anything?

You can transfer all iTunes purchased music, media and apps, but not any music/media obtained from other sources, which will get deleted from the phone when you sync:
1. Disable automatic syncing on connection it iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
2. Connect phone.
3. Right-click device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases."
4. Now OK to sync phone.

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?

I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
Please help

The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
From iTunes: About iOS backups
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

Hi,
If you are using the iTunes command File>Transfer Purchases from iPod, only purchased music is transferred to iTunes from your iPod.
Hope this helps!

I have a subscription to Adobe Pro. I just bought a new computer. How do I transfer the software?

I have a paid subscription to Adobe Pro. I just bought a new computer and need to know how to transfer the software from my old computer to my new one.

Thank you - I was able to sign in under my husband's email address. I still cannot seem to figure out how to download the Adobe Pro software to my computer as I had done for my original computer. I do have a version of Adobe on my new computer, just not the Pro version that is on my old computer. I am occasionally not able to access the internet during travel, but need to have the appropriate software on my laptop so as to be able to work on documents while not connected to the internet.
Thank you so much for your help.

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.

Just bought a new computer--how do I transfer itunes to the new computer?

Just bought a new computer(windows 7). How do I transfer itunes to windows 7 from windows xp?

You don't have to transfer from your iphone5 to itunes on your computer.
Log into itunes store on your computer using the same appleId you used to purchase those music, go to music library, and you should see all your previously purchased music with a cloud and down arrow symbol next to them.
Click on the cloud, and that song will be downloaded to your computer. Try to look around to see if there's any way to do all downloads at one command.
You should also go back to your old computer and deauthorize that computer from your itunes account, then authorize your new computer as one of the 5 allowed to playback itunes content.
The behavior of itunes may have changed with recent updates. In the past, when I plugged in my iphone to a new computer, I do remember being asked by itunes if I wanted to transfer purchases over. Give it a try and see what happens.
But whatever you do, if your current itunes library is still empty, DO NOT say yes to sync with iphone. It would wipe out your itunes library on your iphone because you would be syncing a blank libary over to the iphone. Sync iphone with your computer itunes library only after the computer's library has more content than your iphone's library. That's just to play it safe.

I just bought a new computer how do I move all my Itunes music and media to my new computer

I have just bought an Ipad. How do I transfer my old pictures from my Iphone to my Ipad?

Connect the iphone to your computer using a USB cable, sync pics to it (on a mac, use iphoto to sync to), then sync from computer to new ipad.

Just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes again and when I log in all my old music is not there. I created a new playlist but it won't sinq to iphone without erasing all my other songs.

I just bought a new computer and set it up. Downloaded itunes again and logged in; however, all of my old content is not there. I just created a new playlist and want to sinq it to my phone but get a message saying it will delete all of my old songs. Please help

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.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information 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 of it, 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. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I have just bought a new computer how do i update Itunes with my old data

You need to move your iTunes library and other important data(contacts, calendars, pics, etc.) from your old computer to your new computer:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/
Once you do that, authorize your new computer(Store>Authorize this Computer), then backup your iPhone on your new computer, then restore your phone from that backup, followed by syncing your iTunes content back to your phone. The iTunes content currently on your phone will be erased when you first sync on your new computer, but if you move your entire library, you'll just sync the same content back to your phone.

I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer. It only offers me the choice to erase and sync. I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer. Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

I just bought a new computer. Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer. I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod. Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there? I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...
