My computer crashed.  I want to retrieve my library and transfer to my new computer.  How do I do this?  Can I salvage my library?

My old computer crashed.  I have not been able to add any tunes to my iPod because my entire library was on my old "dead" computer.  Can I salvage my library and put it on my new laptop?  How do I do this?

You can download purchased items from I tunes. Other music like from ripped CD's will be gone unless you backed them up.

    I want to change my playlists and artists on my ipod..how do i do this?

    Sync them to your iPod. To sync individual items use the manual method, See:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can delete individual items from the iPod by swiping a song right or left and tapping the Delete button that appears.

  • I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

    Help please

    To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
    Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

    i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed

    When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

    What does the family WiFi have to do with iCloud? iCloud is on Apple's servers.
    If it is a shared computer what you can do is create a new user ID on the computer. Log in with the new ID. This will give you a "clean" iTunes library that you can use for backing up the the old phone and syncing the new phone.

  • I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer, is there an easy way to do this?

    I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer (PC) instead of the old one, is there an easy way to do this?

    Extract from one of our senior participant.
    Syncing with new computer
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • I want to move my ipod touch plus itunes to a new computer, how do I do this to ensure that I do not lose all my music

    I want to move my ipod touch plus itunes to a new computer, how do I do this to ensure that I do not lose all my music?

    - iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Copy/move the iPod backup file from the old to new computer.  That file is located here and you may have to have show hidden files turned on.
    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\
    - After all the stuff in on your new computer, restore the iPod from backup.

    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

  • I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

    I want to reset my bootcamp Windows 7 to factory setting. How would I do this without damaging or effecting my Mac data?

    If you want to erase the BootCamp Partition, you'd use the Bootcamp utility.
    Then that part of the Mac's hard disk drive may be available for use in OS X.
    {Or, if you want to install a clean Windows 7 in the same BootCamp partition
    you'd use the BootCamp utility to erase/install Windows in the same location.
    There is a BootCamp Support section in Apple Support online, and also there
    is a fairly OK ASC discussions area specific to that purpose. }
    But you may have to check to see if the partition map is correct for Mac OS X
    after you've used Bootcamp utility to remove Windows and the partition map.
    If you do not use the BootCamp utility to remove Windows, correctly or if a
    different method to install Windows was used, you'd have to move your Mac
    OS X system and applications off the computer to an external hard drive by
    use of a clone utility (carbon copy cloner, or superduper, etc) then use the
    OS X disk utility (from running clone, is easiest) to erase the computer's HD
    and then correctly partition map and format the hard drive for Mac OS X.
    At that point, the entire drive would be erased to reclaim any untouched
    partitions from alternative Windows utilities that were used, or not used in
    the time frame of proper opportunity.
    I've had a few Macs that had been partitioned for Windows and found one
    second hand MacBook to have more actual hard disk drive capacity than
    the previous owner and the Mac HD info suggested on first glance. About
    70% of the drive had been a Windows partition, but was invisible to OS X.
    So that turned out to be a lucky find, it was like installing a larger HDD.
    The wording of your question leaves a lot
    of important information out of the picture.
    Good luck!
