Laptop stolen. Is there a way to move all of my data (Music, etc) to my desktop so I can set my phone up to sync from there?

Topic basically says it all. My laptop (which had music on it from as far back as 1998) got stolen so I need to shift over to using my desktop to sync mIphone. I'd like to salvage as much data as I can instead of just throwing it away. I tried using Touchcopy but that didn't copy any of my data for some reason. Can anyone help out?
Thanks!

Restore your music and other data from the most recent backup of your laptop. You backed up on a regular basis, right?
The iPhone is not a backup device. It was never designed or intended to be used to transfer anything other than media purchased in the iTunes store from the phone to a computer.  If utilities like touchcopy don't work for you, you may be out of luck.

  • Can I move my daughter off my account by creating a new one for her and have all her apps/data/music/etc. move to her new account?

    I want to split off my daughter from my apple account and set up her own.  Once she has her own account she would like to have her apps/data/music, etc. on her iPhone and iPad under the new account as it was under mine.  Can I set her up a separate account and then move her apps/data/music, etc., to her new account?  If so how do we do this and what are the dangers/pifalls of doing this (if any)?

    You can migrate her to a separate iCoud account if you want, but existing purchased media (apps, music, etc.) will still be tied to the existing ID.  Purchased media is permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
    If you want to move her to a separate iCloud account, you can do that and still continue to share the same ID for iTunes purchases.  The ID you use for iTunes does not have to be the same as the one you use for iCloud.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your her account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once you are both on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • Media Manage - Is there a way to move all your connected data with 1 click?

    Ok, I am an idiot, there it's out of the way
    I usually tell people when editing to store everything in 1 file or keep it together. I started this editing project and thought it wasn't as big as it is now, and now I have files spread everywhere
    can you use the media manager function to gather up everything up and put it inot one source file?
    these forums rock!, I appreciate your help
    Allyn.

    One source file? No. You have several files and they will remain several files. HOWEVER, you can use the media manager to move all the files to one location.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them?

    My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

    What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

  • Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

    Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

    So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working?  I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case.  Are they going to fix this anytime soon?  I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
    I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections.  I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this.  Still not ideal.

  • I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone?

    I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

    Hello hbell,
    is there any reason that you do not want
    to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
    1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
    yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
    Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
    you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
    to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
    Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
    As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
    so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
    sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
    your iPhone.
    Good Luck,
    A

  • Best way to move all music to new hard drvie and computer

    I'm updating my existing computer, will be installing Vista home premium to new hard drive on new computer, using some of my existing hardware - setting up existing hard drive as secondary drive to move data over - I was hoping to backup all itunes files to the hard drive and then restore from backup to new drive but I can only backup to DVD - which i dont want to do. Once Itunes is setup on the new computer, whats the best way to move all files from the old directory without losing the purchased folder and all settings? thanks.
      Windows XP Pro  

    Make the drive name the same as the old one, or point to the first file when asked. PR will then find the rest of the files, at least if they are in the same directory.

  • I have a Ipad2, my computer that contains all of my apps, music etc crashed and dosent work. I bought a new laptop, how do I retrieve that iTunes account and or apps, movies etc.

    With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

  • Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC?

    Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC and ensure that it is synced automatically? For example, if I add or modify a file in that folder it should be added to iTunes automatically. At the same time the original files in the folder should not be re-organized. That is can I just point to a music folder in my hard drive and sit back for iTunes to do the rest?

  • I created an album from photos taken off three different cameras. I am sorting the photos manually and when I close iPhoto, the photos move back either by date or by camera import time. How can I keep the photos from moving around?
