Migrating data without losing anything
I need to use Migration Assistant with Firewire cables to copy data from a Macbook Pro using SnowLeopard to a MacBook Pro using Lion OX. The computer I'm copying too (the one using Lion) has many programs on it that I don't want to lose – they will not be lost in the process, right?

I have a new Laptop, how can I sync my IPOD music ,photo libary and Apps to the new computor without losing anything? My old laptop is kaput.
You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
However, your app data such as saved games will be lost unless you have a backup file from your old computer. -
Can someone please just help me figure out how to update this stupid phone(iPhone 4)without losing anything? I somehow have more than one Apple ID on this,but I just want my music and my pictures to stay and I'm terrified of losing these things. I have a lot of music from old CDs on here,and for some reason I can't even transfer them manually onto my computer. I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

New laptop imap but iphone currently pop. Can I change without losing anything?
Good Afternoon.
Apologies if this has been asked I have tried to search but didnt quite understand some of the answers.
My partner currently has his iphone set up using pop.
Yesterday we set his new laptop up and I set email up using imap.
I am not sure if there is going to be any conflict.
We simply want to be able to use either phone or latop and the other to respond to what he has done if that makes sense. If he puts an email in a folder on his phone we want the same to happen on his laptop. If he deletes an email we want it to disappear from the other device. In other words we want each to act like the other.
I believe he may need his phone to be set to imap for this.
How do I change it to imap as i am worried if I delete account before setting up an imap account on his phone he may lose all the emails currently on his phone.
Can you change from pop to imap without losing anything.
Thank you. If your answers could be kept as simple as possible I would appreciate it as not very technical with either iphone or laptop.
Thank you and have a lovely weekend.If the account is an IMAP account, deleting the account on the phone will not affect any emails still on the server unless you delete these emails directly on the phone. So, first delete the account on the phone, the add the account back, this time setting it up as IMAP.

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
(See also: Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895) -
I recently updated my Apple ID with a new email address. Now my iCloud account does not match my Apple ID.
On my iphone, when I press Settings> iCloud> Account> iCoud Account Information: Apple ID
The Apple ID is shown as my old email address, and there is no option to press this and change the sign in information. Therefore, I cannot backup my iphone.
I tried to delete iCloud, but the warning said that everything would be deleted from my iphone if I deleted iCloud. I obviously want what is on my iphone or I wouldn't care about iCloud at all. How do I update my Apple ID on my iphone for iCloud without losing anything on my iphone, including the extra storage that I paid for?If the Account name is wrong in Settings>iCloud you'll have to scroll to the botom and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using the correct ID.

I have my iTunes library on my Windows 7 machine on an external hard drive. I purchased a new Macbook and would like to point my new machine at my iTunes library without losing anything and then deactivate iTunes on the Windows machine, help please
Sorry, but this does not seem to be an iPad question. I'd therefore suggest you ask in the iTunes for Mac forum.

How do I synch my iPhone to a new PC without losing anything.
Lost the HDD on my PC and had to reload on a new disk. I have an old backup of iTunes (not very recent) and would like to be able to synch my iPhone without losing contacts, play lists, etc. I can recreate the library from my laptop.
I think I have three options and am wondering which will get my iPhone synched without losing anything:
Recreate library from laptop and synch iPhone (I think this will lose the playlists and contacts.
Backup the iPhone, synch (will probably lose contacts and playlists here) than restore the iPhone from the backup. Will this put the contacts and playlists back?
Restore old iTunes DB from backup, synch phone. Will this copy contacts and play lists from the phone over to the PC so nothing gets lost?
Thanks,
MikeHello
This is my first time on a community notice board such as this
I'm stumped and hope someone can help
My iphone just wont back up on my PC - and I've tried deleting the old backup on the Edit/Preferences tab in iTunes - in fact there is no backup for this device listed there at all.
Without being able to backup, my iphone can't sync, so i can't get music onto it - which was one of the whole blessed points of the bloomin investment.
Can you help?
(Why am I so annoyed at this technology that does not work?)
Cheers
