My iPod is synced to my old laptop, and I want to move all of the data from my iPod to my new computer. HELP!

I just got a New Home Computer, and all of my iPod data is stuck to my crappy old laptop. How can I transfer all of my data, including non-purchased items to my new computer?

Try here:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
Transferring your iTunes Library | iLounge Article
Also make sure you copy your iPod backup to the new computer. You can find its location here:
iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
Yu really want to move/copy your entire iTunes folder (and subfolders), not just the music.

Hi I just got a new laptop and I wanted to move all of my music to it. When I looked up ways to do this Home Sharing seemed like the easiest step therefore I updated everything and did what I was told but it seems as if my PC won't see my desktop Mac.

Is there anything that I am doing wrong? I really just want to get all of my music off my Mac before I go back to school.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

I just got my ipod from my dad and he has all of his songs on there from his mac, and so now he gave the ipod to me and i want to put all of the songs on MY computer onto my new ipod and take all of the songs of that my dad originally had.

When you connect the iPod to your computer and go to the Music tab to select which music you want to sync, iTunes will pop up a dialogue box that if you sync your music it will replace the music that is already on the iPod.
Since that sounds like what you want to do, just click ok and then sync.

You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed. How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed. How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer? When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support

Installing ipod mini on new computer, HELP!

Our old computer died, literally. Just got a new one. Installed itunes and plugged in our ipod. Asked if we wanted to override exisitng library with new (which has no songs, ofcourse we said no.)We have no way of deauthorizing the other itunes on the old computer, and that won't allow us to sync or transfer any of our music library. Is there a way to do this??? Anyone????? I'm getting so frustrated!@!!!

First of all you need to authorise your new computer to play your purchases. After that, connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

My laptop was stolen and I want to move all my songs from my iPad to iTunes....how?

iTunes wants to sync an empty library to my iPod. I want to do the reverse so I can populate iTunes. This seems so easy but I can't figure it out.

I got a new macbook and my old laptop was stolen. How do I get the information from my iphone to sync with the new macbook without the old computer and without wiping my phone?

I'm seriously distressed because I don't want to have to delete my music and I don't want to have to pay a lot of additional money to sync with an outside program. Please help.

You can restore from your backup. You do have backups, right?

I was syncing my ipod to itunes today and after I ejected it and looked at my ipod all of the songs from it had been deleted. Please help.

So I added some new songs to my Itunes library and plugged in my Ipod in order to add the new songs onto it. After it said sync complete I ejected the Ipod and pressed the music button on it. There were no songs on the Ipod anymore or any playlists. Photos still remained however. I then plugged my Ipod back into the computer and Itunes shows that there are still all of these songs still on the Ipod even though they're not there. What is the problem with my Ipod? Any help would be much appreciated.

More info needed to be of any assistance.
Which model generation of iPod Classic are you using?
Are you using Windows or Mac OS X?
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software version shown in the iTunes summary page?
