Hello, Hugh4769. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!

Moved library to new laptop, but it didn't take all playlists and apps

I got a new laptop recently and have been trying to phase out my old desktop. I followed the instructions for moving/importing your library. Things were made a bit simpler (I think) because my library was held on an external HD that I now have connected to teh laptop so there wasn't a lot of file moving involved. The trick now is that I open iTunes and it lists all of my playlists, but only the smart playlists still have all the associated songs. The "regular" playlists are all empty and the main window instructs me to add music by dragging it to the playlist, etc.. Also, when I connect my iPhone and attempt to sync, I can see that a large portion of the apps currently on my phone do not appear on iTunes. I get a message warning me that syncing will erase and overwrite what's currently on my phone so I've avoided syncing for several weeks now.
I still have my original desktop with iTunes installed and I only need to connect the original external drive to get back to where I was before the move. I haven't deleted anything so I could try it all again, but I would imagine the same results. Is there something I've missed? I tried asking at the apple store and was told the only solution was to create all of my playlists again "by hand" and then contact itunes to see if they would "allow" me to get credit for all the missing apps and then purchase them again from the store. There has to be another way.
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer

When you copied the music from your old computer you should have included the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) as well as your media files - this is the structure (normally in C:\Users\username\Music) that you should copy from old to new:
If you only copied the media, and not the database file, try doing so now (without iTunes running) - the files and folder structures should be the same on your new PC as on your old one.
Then hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes; you'll get this prompt:
Click on Choose Library..., then browse to and select the iTunes Library.itl file that you just copied. Your library should now be in the state that it was on your old machine, including your playlists.

Moving iTunes to New Laptop

I have read a few tutorials on moving your iTunes library to a new computer and while I generally understand the process and restriction, I have a bit of a unique situation.
Old laptop = Windows XP Pro SP2 with iTunes program and library etc in default locations (C:\My Music).
New laptop = Windows 7 Ultimate with 2 partitions on HDD and I want all media content (iTunes Media Folder) to reside on partition D: but the actual iTunes program on partition C:
So far I have downloaded iTunes to my new laptop and authorized it so it resides on C: in the default location, gone into advanced setting and changed the media path to D:\My Music and then copied the iTunes folder (complete) from my old laptop to a portable USB HDD.
This is where I am stuck. Do I just copy the iTunes Music folder from within the iTunes folder on my portable HDD to D:\My Music on my new laptop or do I have to do something more?
I know the old iTunes Library.itl file contains information on where iTunes should look for the music and of course right now it is pointing to C:\My Music. So by changing the default setting of iTunes in the new laptop to look in D:\My Music, will it automatically find all my music or will this really screw things up?

Moving to a new laptop - how to move my itunes

How can I get bookmarks moved to a new laptop when my old broken laptop can no longer launch Firefox but does still allow access to all of the Profile files such as places.sqlite

My old laptop appears to be a victim of Bit Rot according to an IT person who was here helping me. All of the support material I've seen so far related to moving bookmarks from one computer to another seem to assume that Firefox can be launched on the old computer (which can't be done in my case). I'd like to figure out how to use the files which may hold my extensive bookmark data while the old computer is still allowing me to access those files and save to a removable thumb drive.

Fortunately I seem to have found and still have access to the old Profile files you're mentioning but I don't know how to make use of them such that Firefox on my new computer can incorporate all the data they hold. Again, I'm not able to open Firefox on the old computer. Any ideas how to use these .sqlite files on the new computer to get myself operable how I had been w. Firefox on the old broken one?

Moved music to new laptop but not showing up in iTunes....

Hi. I used the instructions for "How to move your your music to a new computer" and it seemed to go smoothly. It appears my music library is on my new computer (Music folder, etc) but is not showing up when I open iTunes (unless my iPod is connected too). I am nut sure if I have missed a step or done something wrong. Any ideas?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Quit iTunes. Hold down the shift key and load iTunes again. At the prompt "Choose Library" and navigate to and select your iTunes Library directory.
iTunes will then default to use that library from then on.

I own CS6 on my old laptop and can't find the discs. How can I recover it and install it on my new laptop?

I have the serial number for CS4, and I have the box for CS5, but can't find CS6. However CS6 is installed on my old laptop. I am moving to a newer laptop, and discovered the absence of the discs. I probably stored in my office and can't find them now. In fact, the office is a disaster since my husband died and I can't find anything! Well, maybe the printer, but that's about it. Any suggestions? I do not want to start paying $50 a month for a subscription or even $20. I want CS6 on here. Is there a download online for owners? I think I can get the serial number on CS6 that is installed on my old laptop.
Used to be you could chat online with a customer service rep and get this all straightened out. Now I can only find help in forums. If anyone knows how to get through to a customer service rep, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for ANY help!

I have firefox sync setup in my laptop with firefox 3.6. I am migrating to a new laptop with firefox 4. How to import the synced entries from my old browser?

I have been using Sync plugin with my Firefox 3.6 installation. Now I am moving to a new laptop with Firefox 4. How do I import the synced entries from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4?

Hi!
You have 2 options. If you decide to use Firefox Sync to do it, follow the instructions described here: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]]
The other option is to do it manually. To do so, you need to migrate the profile. Follow this steps: [[Backing up your information]]

Installing adobe on new laptop

The computer I had my Adobe suite on is broken. How can I have my subscription moved to my new laptop?

Install the subscription on the new machine and login with the same Adobe ID/email address used to buy the subscription. In this case I hope the subscription was not installed on any other machine? If yes you may need to contact Adobe support.
Thanks

Zapf Dingbats font corrupt on new laptop

I am moving to a new laptop. My old laptop had Windows XP SP 2, FrameMaker 8.0p277, and Acrobat Distiller 8. I had 2 Zapf Dingbats fonts that worked fine on my old laptop (ZapfDinbats and ZapfDingbatsStd [OpenType]). However, on my new laptop, when I try to install the ZapfDingbats .pfm version of Zapf Dingbats, I get a corrupt font error. The new laptop has the following applications: Windows XP SP 3, FrameMaker 8.0p277, and Distiller 8.0. Other people on my team have downloaded and installed this file without any problems. I've done some reading on the Forum about this issue. But I haven't found a solution to my problem yet. Would someone please help me? Someone mentioned a bios setting without any particulars. I'm wondering whether I need to do something like that here.

Unable to install the "ZapfDingbats (Type 1)" font.

Is it possible that your new laptop has a Nvidia graphics card? A Google search for «"XP SP3" postscript fonts» reveals solutions like this:
Open the registry editor (START, RUN and type regedit and click OK)
Navigate to the following key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\SessionManager\MemoryManagement
Add a new REG_DWORD Value - Change the name of the value to SessionImageSize with a value (decimal) of 20 and then reboot the machine.
Found in a German Windows related forum, where the thread describes exactly your problems (solution comes from DELL). Maybe it's worth a try.
Edit: here's an English blog which gives the same solution (scroll down to the end of the page):

2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!

I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT1349 I have recently moved home from the UK to the Cayman Islands, my PC in the UK has been destroyed as it was 240v but my ipod will now not sync with itunes on my new laptop can anybody help as my ipod holds all my music files

Now with a little more space, I believe this to be a simple fix just not for me! I have recently moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands and there lies the problem, 'voltage' ....
My UK PC was 240v and has now been destroyed so when I secured a new laptop 110v and downloaded itunes I was told by 'itunes' as my ipod was linked to another PC it would not/could not sync to my ipod. As the ipod holds ALL my music files this is a major drag. Can anybody tell me how to unassociate my ipod with my old PC so I can sync with my new laptop.
Regards Rob

All computers sold in the past 10 years are univeral insofar as voltage is concerned, so it may have been destroyed but not because of voltage. The right thing to do is to restore the backup that you must have made of your old PC to your new laptop. Then you will not lose anything when you sync the phone.
