New computer - backups fail and unable to sync.

My old Toshiba laptop crashed last month. I was able to recover most files and I put them on a new Dell laptop. I downloaded iTunes and added the recovered files. Unfortunately my iPhone backup was not recovered or I just can't find it.
When I plugged in my iPhone I had no choice but to set up as a new iPhone. BUT for whatever reason each time I plug it in to the laptop I am told that I need to either set up as new iPhone or restore from backup. If I choose restore from backup - it will spend 10-15 minutes attempting to restore from backup before telling me that it can't restore from the backup. When I eject the phone the software forces some kind of sync. The only way I can do anything in iTunes on the iPhone is if I choose to set up as a new iPhone which means I have to go in and set up all music and applications again.
I've done this 5 times so far - each time takes me about 2-3 hours to complete. The applications don't seem to be properly synced as several will open for a split second and then close down. I am also having issues playing songs on my iPod - it will play a song, then it will play a second or two of the next song in the play list and then the iPod app shuts down.
My phone is less than a year old - do I need to add Apple Care to get help or is there something that can be done to fix this? Is the issue with iTunes or the phone? I've already tried reinstalling iTunes with no luck... I'm at the end of my rope here

You will need to re-sync your iPod to add new music to it. Also, follow the steps given here

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer to move iTunes content.
As for pictures, copy them from where there are on the old computer to the new computer... this has nothing to do with iTunes.
Alternatively, if both computers are Windows based, use the Windows Easy File Transfer Utility to move everything.

I purchased a new computer. Why when I log in to itunes does my library not show up

I purchased a new computer. Why when I log in to itunes does my library not show up?

I'm confused....if itunes is basically storing your music for you and you log in, why doesn't that automatically default to your account and display all of you music. What's really strange is, if I have my old laptop on and I am logged into itunes it showed up on my new laptop. But when I log out, it's gone

Bought a new computer w/ Windows Vista. Can't load iTunes

I just bought a new Dell XPS w/ Windows Vista. I cannot load iTunes. I've deleted and reinstalled several times, but each time, when I try to open iTunes, it tells me that "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." Help?!

While playing with the pre-release versions of Vista I had numerous iTunes problems though I could get it to run. Just not reliably. Since Vista was just released, and that just for businesses officially, we'll just have to wait for an update. Remember, Zune software doesn't work on Vista either.

Computer crashed, we got a new computer but our ipod touchs are synced with the old one how do i get our stuff on to the new computer without losing it on our ipods

Our computer crashed last week. We just bought a new one last night and installed a iTunes on to the computer. How do we transfer what we have on our iPods on to the new computer without losing anything

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

New computer, missing content/content won't sync with iPod

I got a new laptop and I allowed the sync between the computer and my iPod touch. However, not all my content is on iTunes anymore and neither will iTunes and iPod sync correctly. I'm afraid to erase and sync because I've already lost a lot of content off iTunes. What do I do? Plus, I just bought music off of iTunes with my iPod sync'd to my computer and it still won't sync the new music to my iPod. ???

I'm glad that just moving the music library worked for you. When I moved my library, it didn't work automatically as you indicated. When I synced may nano to the new computer with the recently moved itunes library, a message came up asking if I wanted to erase everything on my nano and sync with this new computer. I checked yes and it synced without any problem. However, for some reason the same message didn't come up when I tried to do the same with my iphone. I only synced after I found the sync tab and checked the box that said it was ok to erase the phone's music in order to sync it to the new computer. I think I know why the message came up automatically with my nano but not the iphone. I initially connected my phone to itunes on the new laptop before I had the music library moved over. When the message asked if I wanted to erase the phone and sync with the itunes, which was blank, I said no. I think that is why I had to manually check the "yes" box to sync my phone with the laptop after the music files were moved.
All that matters is that it is working now and I didn' have to make an appt with a "genius" at an apple store for them to show me how to check the box.

Hello, I purchased a new Mac Book Pro and performed the Sync feature to migrate my bookmarks. Everything worked yesterday, but today they have disappeared.

After performing the sync yesterday, I deleted my bookmarks on my old computer, because I am going to be giving it to my wife to use and wanted to let her create her own bookmarks. Today, when I opened Firefox on my new computer, all of my favorites had disappeared. Please help! I had all of my business bookmarks on there yesterday, but I need help recovering them.
Thank you!

Shut off Sync on the old computer!
Then restore a backup on the new one. <br />

IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 upgrade issues; back-up won't load and unable to sync with iTunes

I've just updated my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 and went through the back-up routine. The back-up routine appeared to partially update, displaying an error, however has brought through my contacts, previous messages and has even maintained my bluetooth connection with the car. The phone appears to function ok although it will now not sync with my iTunes and so will not download music and Apps to the phone. I've tried to re-run the back-up however it just hangs with a message box advising that it is 'Estimating time remaining', a message that just hangs there for ages with no apparent actions (by ages I mean 15 minutes +).
Any advice would be much appreciated; to say this is extremely frustrating is an understatement.
Many thanks.

Hello, having the same problem, but the answer by KiltedTim is too simplistic. Butcher60, any news? I have tried removing everything, still the same. It is true that Vista fails loading the driver, but, in my case, I noticed that:
- if you reboot the sistem, the first time you connect any ios device, it is detected either by vista and by itunes. BUT if you disconnect it and connect it again, or connect another ios device, it is not detected enymore, neither by vista nor by i tunes, and you get the message, in managing resources, that the drivers of Apple mobile devices cannot be initialized (code 37)!!! This is so bad when you are doing an update (it is what happened to me), because, if you connect the device the first time, and then start the update, when reaching the point in which the device reboots, it is like connecting it for the second time, itunes does not detect it, and the device goes in recovery mode, so you must use another computer (with XP no such a problem, it seams) to complete it.
- BUT the problem is not only by vista, something happend with itunes 10.7, because I went back to a recovery point before itunes last version, and the driver are loaded by vista every time, only when using itunes 10.7 the same error occurs, and I did not find any solution (because downgrading itunes is not possible)
So, vista worked detecting ios devices before ios6 and itunes 10.7, it works without itunes 10.7 detecting every device, but it does not work with last i tunes. Can someone do something???

WEP working with Windows and Macbook Pro - NOT with G4 laptop

In order to get a Windows laptop connected to my home network, I changed over to WEP Encryption and have gotten the Windows laptop, my Macbook Pro, and another Powerbook G4 to connect - however, when I try to connect the other remaining G4 laptop, a 400mhz PowerPC running an Airport card with firmware v.9.52 doesn't give me the pulldown option for WEP (only WPA) and I am, therefore, unable to input the password that is working on my other computers.
Thoughts? Solutions?
Thanks.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your response. The articles were informative, but here's what's odd about my situation:
I understand passwords, etc. I've been running WPA/WPA2 encryption on my all-Apple Network. It worked great. When I brought home the WindowsXP laptop, I changed the network over to WEP and not only did the Windows laptop get signal, but 2 of my 3 Macs did as well. When I started up the "upstairs" G4 Powerbook and sought out my network the Airport Internet Connect did not give me a WEP option in the pulldown menu, so I was unable to log in. All I really need to do is determine how to get the older G4 Powerbook to see WEP where it only sees WPA. (Ultimately, I switched back so my wife could use her computer. It may just be easier for me to try to configure the Windows Laptop to a WPA/WPA2 network.
Thanks again for your thoughts on this.
