Is there a way to keep all your stuff on your ipod after transferring to a new computer and being able to get new stuff on it while the old stuff is still on the ipod???

Okay so I had my itunes on my moms computer and now her computer is broken and I need to buy stuff on itunes (And I want to see my wish list again). How can I transfer all my old stuff over to this new computer with out changing anything or having anything deleted but at the same time being able to put new stuff on from the computer???

Try this way:
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

    Sync it as you would anything else.
    Have you copied everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one?

  • Is there any way to keep all firefox files and settings in a specified place?

    I recently put a version of firefox on a flash drive for when using public computers so I can always have the custom settings and addons available. But the inherent problem is that firefox puts files in the documents and settings folder on the computer, and sometimes the computer will not allow any files to be put in the directory and firefox will not run there. Is there any way to confine all the files in the same place short of putting the whole operating system on there?

    You can use the portable Firefox version that comes with its own profile on the flash drive.

    There was no reason to start a new account.
    You can certainly use your old account on any computer/device.
    You cannot merge accounts.

  • I had to get a new computer and i cant move my new music to my ipod because it says can only be synced to one library. what can i do?

    I had to get a new computer and I can not move my new music to my ipod because it says I can only have one itunes library. I would have to erase my ipod to use this new itunes library. Any ideas?

    Copy or move the entire iTunes media folder from the old computer or the backp of the old computer to the new computer.

  • Is there a way to keep all my e-mails on my mac and just show the latest on iCloud?

    Reached my 5 GB limit and unfortunately have already deleted plenty of e-mails on "iCloud" and didn't realize I was also deleting them off my Mac.
    So is there a way to only show the last month e-mails on iCloud mail but keep them all on my computer?
    I don't want to be setting up a lot of archives either...anyhow thanks for any info or links.

    You're welcome.  I don't think that kind of rule is possible.  With IMAP accounts your email client is always reading from the server, just like iCloud.com.  Anything done on any device signed into your account (your Mac or iOS device), or on iCloud.com, updates the server and the change is then replicated everywhere.  There just isn't a way to have different email on one than you have on all the others.  Archiving allows you to store a copy that is only on your Mac so you can delete it from the iCloud.com (or any of your other devices) and the copy on your Mac will still be there.  That's really what archiving was designed to do; allow you to permanently save email.

  • Is there a way to keep all the data on my phone while syncing to a new laptop? I lost all the data on my old one.

    Recently my old mac laptop lost all it's data. Is it possible for me to sync my iphone to a new computer without losing everything on my phone?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I recently got a new computer and now can't transfer new songs from my library to my iphone. are not listed in my library so I'm afraid that if I sync with the new library I will lose all of my custom ringtones.

    My custom ringtones don't show up in my iTunes library (only on my iPhone library) so I'm afraid that if I sync to the new computer I'll lose my tones. I've tried backing up on my computer, but then I can't find that information to bring into iTunes.  I've tried backing up to the Cloud, but it requires me purchasing more space (which I don't want to do).  I've already turned off most of my apps, but I'm still over the limit.

  • I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

    More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • HT1695 Anyone else having issues with not being able to get wifi on their iPhone 4S? I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

    I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

    Thank you, I am trying to last option now. Resetting my network settings and if that still doesn't work ill have to go in to the apple store. Hopefully I won't need a new phone because I'm already at my limit with replacements on my AppleCare even though the issue with the phones 3 out of 4 times wasn't my fault and I can't afford to buy another phone.
