Moving to a new computer. How do I move my Apps and Purchased music over?

Can anyone help me understand what have to do to move my Apps and Purchased music to a new computer? There seem to be lots of articles about it but no single set of steps. I will transfer all my non-iTunes library and rebuild the library, etc. But how do I get the apps and purchases moved over? And how to make sure I don't reset everything and not be able to get it back? I have all my purchased music on the iPod.
iPod Touch 3.1

does this also take care of the apps?
Yes.
Tell me if I am wrong, but if I set hook up the iPod to a different computer, does it not wipe everything out before setting up the new partnership?
Confirmation is required before anything is deleted from the iPod in that case. Items are only deleted without warning if the iPod is set to sync automatically with an iTunes library which that content has been deleted from.

Moving to a new PC - how do I move my Lifeblog and...

Any advice?
I am moving all my software to a new PC but want to keep my current Nokia Lifeblog etc and port it across to my new PC.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi drjarmin,
Regarding your Nokia Lifeblog issue :
1. Open > Nokia Lifeblog > Tools > Backup. Remember where you store this.
2. Install Nokia Lifeblog on your new pc and open goto Lifeblog - Tools - Restore the file which you got on your old pc and check.
Hopefully it should work
Regarding Imagestore
1. Goto the folder where it stores those pictures of yours and copy them to your new pc. This is what as of now i can suggest you
Please let me know if it helped you

Two years ago before my computer was stolen I sent everything to my cloud I now have a new computer how do I access my cloud and everything I saved there?

I assume you mean you saved it to the MobileMe iDisk - you were a paid subscriber to this? MobileMe closed last August (after a year's worth of warning emails and online notices) and if you didn't retrieve your files from the iDisk they have been deleted and are not recoverable by any means. There is no equivalent facility in iCloud.

This info will only be where you put it.
You would have to copy from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer

Have a new computer - how do i move my music, etc from the old computer to the new one?

I have a new computer and want to remove music from the old computer and move to the new one. How do I do it? I have an IPod mini.

Copy the /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer to the new one. You can do this using an external hard drive or by connecting the two computers via Firewire cable (if both computers have Firewire ports) -Transferring files between two computers using FireWire - or using your local network via file sharing.

With a new computer, how can I use the apps/etc. on it as a 'seed' on the new computer?

I had to buy a new computer so I used the Migration Assistant to get the data from my old computer HD to the new machine. For some reason it didn't copy my iTunes data. The old HD is in an enclosure because the old machine took a lightning hit and it wasn't worth putting the money into a 7 year old machine. The HD survived.
How can I 'start from scratch' with the new machine and copy the apps/data from my iPhone and iPad to the new computer?

As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

Bought a new computer, how do I move my library full of referenced files?

I have my Aperture library on my laptop with all masters referenced and stored in a folder called "raw" in my home directory.
I'm trying to move everything over to my new Mac Pro, but I'm having trouble. I copied the folder of referenced masters into the home directory of my new computer, copied the library, preferences, etc. Of course when I start Aperture on the Mac Pro, it can't find the masters because the volume name is different. So I thought I could relocate the masters, but when I do this for an image, the thumbnail turns grey and in the viewer I get an "Unsupported Image Format" error. This happens for both JPG and NEF files.
Any suggestions? I have a rather complex folder structure with many projects, so I don't want to export individual projects.
Thanks,
steve

Hi,
I haen't done this myself from a computer to another
When You mention you used "relocate masters"... how did you connect both computers? was one in Target disk mode. via ethernet?.
did you try this:
- in the "sharing"' pref panel, give your mac pro the name of your old computer.
- start your old mac in firewire target disk mode (no name conflict as your old computer is not being used: only its HD)
- copy the library to the new drive in the Mac Pro
- launch AP on the mac pro and select the copied library. relaunch. because the computer name is identical and the disk from your old computer is mounted, you should see AP finding its referenced masters.
- initiate the relocation of masters now
(be aware that I haven't tried this, this is just an educated guess)
(also, if you have a complex folder strcuture, try relocating just one or twwo pix and observe the new structure. Aperture cannot reproduce several custom-named folders in a new structure, unfortunately...
PS : while we'(re here, I advise you to format several drives as a RAID 0 array inside the mac pro in order to get a good responsivity from Aperture... this makes an amazing difference... most photographers disregard the value of fast storage. by fat I mean faster than a single device... hoping I'm legible...

New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

Hi,
I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
This is what I did so far:
Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
Is there a way to do this one shot??
Thanks!
RJ.

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.

Moved songs to new computer but Apple ID no longer exists and I cannot play

I just bought my second Mac and moved all my iTunes songs to it. When I try to play a song, it asks me to authorize for my old AppleID which is no longer exists. So when I type it in, it says that the account no longer exists.
So I'm kind of stuck in a catch 22. I can't play the songs unless I authorize with my old Apple ID but that ID no longer exists.
I searched the forums quite a bit and did not find the answer. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks fellow Mac users!

Why did you create a new Apple ID?
No need to do that.

How can i retrieve losr contacts and purchased music fron i tunes if my computer failed and now has none of these saved on my itunes to restore back on my replacement phone?

right, i was restoring my phone from back up last night as i got a new handset because of a defective screen and during the resore my lap top froze, so i had to restart it. then when i had done i could no longer restore from back up and only sync the phone,so i did and there was no music,photos,contacts or apps available from itunes to put back on my phone,where has this media gone? it must be somewhere surley?
many thanks
neil

Restarting your computer does not cause media to disappear.
Does your music, photos, apps still exist on the computer?
iTunes is not a photo or contact manager, so you would need to verify that those items exist elsewhere.
If you are solely reliant upon iTunes to backup your contacts, you may be in trouble.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Do you have backup files in the above listed locations?
Seems to me that you have two issues:
Content missing from iTunes
Content missing from iPhone.
Once the first issue is resolved, then it will be very easy to resolve the second.
