I need to move my apps, etc from one computer to another but I can't? Help!

I recently upgraded my phone from an iphone 3gs to and iphone 4s.
At the same time I thought it was the right time to move my itunes from my old laptop (which has no wireless) to a new laptop with wireless so it would be easier to up and download music, etc.
So I had to first sync my Iphone 3gs on my old computer to back everything up but now i have my new phone I can't see any of the apps on my new computer - I tried the homeshare option but all I can see is the music.. I cannot see anything else.
I wouldn't mind just starting over but I don't see why I should pay for some apps twice!
I would really appreciate some help from someone because also what has happened now is the stupid adapter they give you to transfer your info from your iphone 3 to your iphone 4 has damaged my ihpone 3 and it no longer reads my sim card!
Anyone got any tips?
thanks
Theresa

Installing iTunes and signing in to your account does not move your library to a new computer!
The easiest way to move your library between machines is to backup your library to an external drive, then restore that backup to the new machine.
See this User Tip for a suitable backup tool. As long as all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside the main iTunes folder then the library can be restored to any location with enough room. If the media has been split out into one or more alternate locations then to successfully restore the library all the media must be restored to identical paths to those it was backed up from. You can use the same tool to restore the library to the new machine.
After confirming that your library is working properly on your new machine you should deauthorize the old one if you no longer need to access protected content on it.

How do I move an app icon from one page to another?

I would like to organize my Ipad2 but can figure out how to move the app icon from one page to another.

Tap and hold down on an app icon until it wiggles. Then hold down on the icon and drag it about halfway over to the next screen and just hold it there for a second or two and the app will jump to the next page. Do it slowly and just hold the app on the edge of the screen. Don't try to drag it over quickly. It takes a little practice.
Tap the home button when you are done and the apps will stop wiggling.

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another? The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.

Can you copy Modern-app settings from one computer to another?

Has anyone tried copying settings of Modern apps from one computer to another?
Example: let's say that I wanted to copy the settings from the Photos app on one computer to a thousand other computers. Would this work? Are settings for Modern apps in a format that can be easily copied?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Thank you! It's so obvious now that I've given it some thought (hindsight is 20/20, right?) Wish the Apple tech at the store had thought of it before I was sent on my merry way and was under the impression I had what I needed.
Def appreciate the quick answer from you tho'

How to move all app data from one user to another? (One mac)

Hi. I've been having this problem for a while. So recently, I've made a new account for myself, since I was using my mom's user account. I don't want to keep all of my files, emails, and icloud on her user, since it's used by everyone in my family. I use iMail now because hotmail blocked my email because "Someone hacked me" and they kept it locked for all these months, and I can't give enough proof to show it was mine, since I forgot every email I've sent now.
And iMail is pretty cool, adding your own rules and stuff. Except you don't need a password to log in. I just deactivate my iMail via system preferences as a log-out, and then re-activate it as a log-in.
So, back to the question.
How can I move ALL app data from my mom's user account to my new one? Her acount also has pictures of our germany vacation. So not every file.
You see, I game on my mac mostly because steam is really complicated, using internet just to play a game that doesn't need internet and stuff.
And steam doesn't have a lot of casual games.
So I want to move my game data, save files and every little piece of application info that my games have on my mom's account to mine. I've asked this question on Yahoo answers, and all I got was an answer of "File IS data, or datum itself, You are wrong. I cannot give you an answer." -.-
I'm not experienced with terminal either, so I'll need a ton of explanation of how to use it if that's how it can be done. It really really confuses me and I'll just give up.
Thanks in advance.

Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
All in all very unsatisfactory.
Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
Suggestions welcome.

Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

Hi,
Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
Thanks!

Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.

Can i move iTunes app purchases from one account to another?

My daughter has an itues account and she uses it for her purchases from the itunes store. She purchased an iPod Touch for her son and used her account with the iPod to purchase apps for him. She just purchased an iPad for him and obviously all the purchased apps he used on the iPod Touch cannot be downloaded to the new iPad without her having her account on the iPad. If we create an iTunes account for him, is there any way to transfer the purchased games etc to his account.
If I understand correctly, there can be more than one account on the iPad but my daughter does now want him to have access to her account. If this is not possible, can we set it up so he can only access his iTunes account and not hers? In other words if we download all the games etc that were purchased for him, will they be available if she leaves her account on the iPad but changes the PW so he cannot access the account? He would only have access to his iTunes account.

You can only use one account per iPad, and you can't transfer purchases to other accounts
