Moving library from 1 PC to new lap top.
So I followed all the instructions in the itunes manual about moving library to a new computer...and it hasn't worked.
I used my i pod as a drive, copied the library, after consolidating it, from the old computer to my ipod with plenty of space for that. I have been using an external hard disc for the library, labelled Y:\ SO the library on the old computer was at a location Y:\itunes.
Following the instructions on the itunes help moved all the copied library from ipod to new laptop. Default location for this is C:\users\user\music\itunes\itunes media. All the files from the library...all the albums an so on have successfully copied to this location, along with the itunes music library XML document, but when I open itunes on new computer...the latest version of itunes, and go to the library in the bar on the left side, it does not find the library. The playlists have not been copied over. Only the database file that is the library. If I change the settings in the "advanced" tab of Preferences to Y:\itunes and conect the external source, opening itunes on the new computer still does recognise this as the library, I get the same itunes screen that is like I have just downloaded a blank version of ituenes. There is a desk top icon shortcut to itunes, and this just opens the new blank itunes I downloaded to this computer. Seems odd. Library is there...in 2 locations one internal one external. (only one connected at one time obviously) XML doc is there, but itunes not picking it up
Help Please

I can hardly see the tools and text to be able to navigate after installing lightroom 4 and cs6 extended from a disk on a new lap top. I changed the screen resolution too 1280x800 and it still looks the same.

NOW HAVE A NEW COMPUTER AND WANT TO GET THESE PHOTOS FROM THE IPOD TO NEW PC OTHERWISE ARE LOST. MY LAPTOP IN WINDOWS 7
To get synced photos from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.
How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

I have a new lap-top which has all my PURCHASED i-tunes on it. I have an i-pod touch which has all my purchased PLUS all the CDs and records that I recorded onto i-tunes. How do I get all the recorded stuff onto the i-tunes on the lap-top. I no longer have access to the old lap-top with everything on it.

HT1351 Sync Apple Nano to a new lap top?
Hot to sync my Apple Nano to a new lap top?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I need help. I had an apple account on my old Lap Top to which my iPad and iPhone were synced ? I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did. After doing this I tried to sync my iPad and phone to the new lap top which I was unable to do as they didn't recognise my new ID. HELP!!!!!!

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID? -
How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music
I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
Can anyone help me?They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

I got a new lap top and my husband thought it would be a good idea to help me by downloading itunes on it. Well Not so much... I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone and other items. When he pugged my phone in to my laptop it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes. Then it reset my phone and now all my pictures are gone please help
If your phone was backed up to your computer, the backup would contain your camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring to this backup would recover them. However, if it was backed up a second time after losing them, this would overwrite the backup containing the data and your photos would be lost.
You can try restoring to your backup, but before doing so go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent the phone from automatically syncing and backing up when you connect it to your computer, thereby overwriting the backup you want to restore to. After doing this, open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup. (If you have iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
Again this might work, as long as the phone was only backed up and then not subsequently backed up again after the photos were lost. -
How do you sync your ipod touch to a new lap top

You can sync with one and only one computer at a time. Sycning to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.
You should copy everything from the old computer to the new one. -
New lap top need new serial number for adobe pro
can you advise where i can get a new serial number i have a new lap top and lost everything
If you have registered the product to one of your adobe id, please login to https://accounts.adobe.com/ with your adobe id see under the Plans and Products , where you would have all your products listed with the serial numbers. Else, then there is only alternative can be utilized if you have the proof of purchase ( do not have the proof of purchase, ask your reseller to provide you the proof of copy ) or the order number if bought from the Adobe itself or the email you accssed to buy the product from the Adobe as there would be transaction of the product listed under, then you can get the help with the serial number in following two ways:
First contact your reseller and ask them to provide the help as it was bought from them on the basis of the proof of purchase or ask them to help you with the proof of purchase if you do not have.
Reseller did not help you with the serial number, have the proof of purchase handy, go to step 3.
Contact Adobe support and submit the proof of purchase if asked to get the help as there might be chances of getting the help within next 5-6 days once after the proof of purchase is verified from the reseller.
Valid proof of Purchase-

Scanning from an hp wireless lap top to hp photosmart 110a.
scanning from an hp wireless lap top to hp photosmart 110a. photos are on glass. Can this be done?
If yes, do I need software?
I have tried to download and just keeps checking system and never works.Hello supersteveW,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are trying to install the D110a onto your HP computer so you can scan. I'd like to see if I can help.
First, perform what is called a L3 uninstall.
To do this; press the Windows button and R on the key board, then type %temp% and hit Enter. From the new windows that opens look for and open the most recent 7z folder. Open Util and then CCC. Double click on the L3 uninstaller and allow it to run.
Restart the computer, open again the %temp% folder, highlight all and delete.
If using Windows 7 or higher, run the Printer Install Wizard to download and attempt the install. If using Vista or XP, use this link to download the printer software: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers.
When the installer starts, look for Usage or Internet Options and uncheck the Check for updates, Send error reports, etc.
Let me know if this helped.
