Itunes Question! Please help!!!

I just got a new Iphone 3G. I had a 3GS before but I decided to downgrade. I use to sync my 3GS with my old computer. I now have a new computer and a new 3G phone so this is the first time I am syncing them together. However, I saved the Itunes folder from my old computer and was able to get all my Apps back. One thing I cant figure out how to get back is my info for example my settings, my old text messages, Notes, etc. I am mostly worried about old texts and the settings I had on the phone. Where are those located? Are they in the Itunes folder? How do I get them back so my new phone can be more like my old one? Thanks guys!

The problem is my old computer was a windows computer with vista and this new one is a macbook pro so I am not sure. I put all the files in the Itunes folder on the mac and I thought it would work, but it is not giving me the option to sync my phone with an old backup of my old one so I am thinking maybe I didn't put them in the right place. Honestly I don't know where else I would put them!
I don't have access to my old computer anymore. So basically all I have is my macbook and the Itunes folder from my old computer.

Hi AlphaCentori,
If you are having issues accessing the Apple ID that was used to originally purchase those apps, you may find the following article helpful:

HT201363 Hello, I have my pass word, I have my Apple ID, but itunes think I am buying a song for the first time and is asking me 2 security questions, please help, what should i do?

I cannot remember the answeres to my security questions, please help.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

TS1538 i cant get my new ipod touch 7 to be recognized in itunes? Please help!

I cant my new Ipod Touch 7 to be recognized in Itunes? Please help! I'm trying to sync my music and book files with the new Ipod buts it not even listed under devices. I have an old Ipod that I was using prior to this one that shows up under devices but not the new one. Im only promted to transfer from what appears to be my old device?

Alright, right after posting my question I figured it out. I plugged my iPod into one of the USB ports in the front of the MacPro and it worked like a charm. Now the problem is, what is wrong with the two ports in the back of my Apple Cinema HD screen? That I can't figure out clearly. The USB connection from it to the MacPro is connected.

My apple id have been blocked an i do not remember the identity or security question please help what can i do?

If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.
