How do i transfer ipod rigistration from old computer to new one?

What "ipod registration"?
Plug it in and sync.
It will erase your content form the ipod and replace with content from the new computer. Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one first.

I would like to transfer my contacts from an old computer to new one both on Thunderbird

Got a new computer and I just wanted to transfer all the contacts in my address book from there to my new computer on Thunderbird rather than painstakingly doing it one at a time! Can I import them all?

I think I should clarify a bit more... Both my old computer and new computer have Thunderbird on them. I just want to "magically" get all my address book contacts from the old computer and older version of Thunderbird to the new computer and newer version (I assume) of Thunderbird. Is this possible? I am not REAL computer literate so the directions (if there are any) must be easy to understand.
Thanks

How can I shift my acrobat from old computer to new one?

I have intalled adobe acrobat standard on last November to my computer.
Now this computer broke down and I would need to move this software to new computer.
How is this possible?
I have serial number.

To reinstall on the new computer you will need
- serial number
- CD or install file you saved from download
- old serial number, if it was an upgrade
It may say "too many activations"; if so, contact Adobe

Transferring itunes from old computer to new one

I need to transfer my itunes songs from my old computer to my new one. I am going to donate my old computer, so I'll wipe it clean once I'm done. I just wanted to know if there is an efficient way to transfer songs to a new computer since I already did a lot of work loading songs onto the old one!
Thanks!

Transferring complete iTunes library from old computer to new one?

My old computer isn't connecting to the internet. I can't enable home sharing since the old computer won't connect to the Internet, and I can't transfer using an external hard drive since the old computer needs software downloaded to connect to it. Is there another way of transferring my entire itunes library from my old computer to the new one That doesn't need for the old computer to be connected to the Internet?

I've tried backing up the iPod to my new computer, but it doesn't save anything. The only thing that has worked is backing up what was on my phone. I now try to back up the phone to the new computer and it'll tell me there are purchases on my phone that need to be transferred, so I click for them to be transferred. The computer does it's thing and if I click for it to back up again right away, it tells me the same thing even though there are no purchases. I can turn on the home sharing on the new computer, but when I go do it on the old one it says 'Home Sharing could not be activated because of an error occurred (-3150)'

Transferring files from old computer to new one

I just purchased an HP Envy 700 series and am trying to transfer my files from my old computer. My problem is that the old computer has a fried motherboard so I put the old hard drive in an external case and hooked it up to the new computer to transfer the files. When I try to access the "users" folder on the old drive I get a message telling me I don't have permission to access the folder. Is there anything I can do to get past this?

The OS on the old computer was Windows 7 Home and the new one is Windows 7 Pro.
I have developed a work around for my problem. I put the old hard drive in an external case and then hooked it up to my laptop. I then lower the User Account Control setting to its lowest setting (after I turn off my access to the internet) and then I am able to access all the files in the account that was blocked before. It is tedious trying to transfer many GB's of data using a thumb drive but it is getting done.

How to transfer music from old computer to new one

The logic board is shot on my old iBook. I bought a new one. I can access the old one through target disk mode. I replaced the iTunes folder on the new one with the iTunes folder from the old one but the music doesn't show up in the library. If I go to the iTunes music folder and click on a song it gets added to the new library, but I have 4000 songs. My admin user name is the same on both computers. What's the secret?

Hi
Follow this:

Where the article talks about using an iPod you simply transfer directly between the old hard drive and the new hard drive.

How to i transfer actions from old computer to new one?

Hi!
I bought a new computer and installed Adobe Photosho 4 on it. But as i had tons of actions on my old computer, is it maybe possible to transfer those to my new comp?
Regards,
Hanno

I presume you mean Photoshop CS4?
Save the actions in sets (very important) on the old computer and then copy the saved *.atn files across to the new computer.
They belong in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Actions

Cannot transfer Library from old computer to new one.

We got a new computer, and tried to export the Library via 1g Flash drives, but all that got us was a list of the names of the songs. Then tried to copy the songs to the flash drives, and then copy them into the new computer's Itunes program, but the songs would not play, nor would they transfer to the Ipod. Please help.

Old computer Windows new one Mac. How do I switch my iPod

Okay so I'm getting a new iMac tuesday. This computer is horrible so I want to start loading music into my new one. How do I switch my iPod video from windows to apple?
I'm asking this because I plugged my iPod mini into a friends apple and it no longer worked on my windows. I was lucky I was soon getting a new one but that is not the case here, so I would reallyreallyreally hugely appreciate some help. Thanks soso much

Apple has done such a great job with the iPod that it is easy to forgot how complex the entire system is. The hardware is the easy part, it is the software that's really complex. iTunes catalogs our music and lets us arrange our playlists but it also keeps track of authorized music, play counts, songs skipped, and all the other things that the iPod and iTunes keep track of together. Others have designed credible mp3 players (Sans Disk for example) but no one has put together anything that can rival the iPod<->iTunes<->iTunes Store.
Which brings me to the point of this post. When something goes wrong it can be difficult to determine just what the problem is. When someone's iPod fails to sync, the quick conclusion people tend to reach is that there's something wrong with the iPod, but as you discovered that isn't necessarily the case. A failure to sync can be hardware related (iPod, computer, cable) or software releated (iPod, computer, iTunes) and unfortunately we don't always get an error message that pinpoints the problem.
In your case the problem was with music on your computer's hard drive. If you haven't already done so, I'd urge you to run a disk diagnostic and if possible back up your music. There are two possibilities: those songs have always been defective on that computer and you just now discovered it, or, those songs were okay and have 'died' since the last time you played them. If the former is true you'll want to check out the songs you added at the same time and/or from the same source. If the latter, you may have some serious hard drive issues developing.

Getting new computer - how get itunes from old computer to new one?

Hello: I am in the process of getting a new desktop computer. Currently in itunes I have about 100 songs (I just got the ipod the other day). My current computer only has USB 1.1 so I am excited to be able to use USB 2.0 with the new machine. So, how do I get all of my songs on itunes from my current computer to the new one? Sorry if this is a stupid question, however I am very new to ipods. Thanks

For me, using a computer network is the easiest, and fastest.
Next would be using DVDs
then CDs
then the iPod.
Sounds like you have never burned a CD/DVD or backed up any of your music. You do know you only get the one-time download per track from the iTMS, don't you?
