My laptop recently crashed and had to be restored back to it's original factory settings. I lost my entire iTunes library and have had to start from scratch again. Is it possible to load everything i currently have on my iphone4 into my new iTunes library

When i connect my iphone to the new iTunes library it tells me that it's going to erase everything on my iphone and upload everything from the new iTunes library onto it. Is there a way to save everything on my phone into the new iTunes library?

Thanks for all of your advice.
I just downloaded a copy of TuneJack for the small price of $9.95.
It retrieved all my music from my iphone and loaded it all straight into my iTunes library for me all at a click of a button and only took a few minutes.
Problem solved I can stop stressing now!

What will happen to my ipad and apple phone if I reset daughters ipad mini to factory settings, we are getting each others messages and mail

Hi I have my laptop, ipad and apple 4 phone. Youngest daughter has ipad mini which I connected to my laptop to download free games, music and photos, now the ipadmini thinks its me and we are getting each others messages etc. If I reset the ipadmini to factory settings, will this delete and/of effect my Ipad, Apple phone, I don't want everything DELETED on my devices. HELP
Thanks

Yes it would be her device you remove your account from, but she would need an email address to have an Apple ID.
I guess if it's only messages that you want her to use, you could create an iCloud email address alias and let her use that for messaging.
First you'd need to create an alias for your iCloud address, you can do this at iCloud.com > mail, click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner and select preferences, then choose the accounts tab. The alias could be her name.
After creating an alias you will need to add it to her device as an ID for messages, go to settings > messages > send & receive > Add another email.
While you are there make sure she only sends and receives messages from that address, you also need to ensure the same settings on your devices use anything but that address.

Time Machine Not AVAILABLE !!! Why EVERYTIME I upgrade, this happens and I have to always start from scratch!!!!!

Apple is SO good on some things and SO TERRIBLE on others. EVERYTIME I get a new macbook pro and/or upgrade to the new OS, my time capsule Time machine backup ALWAYS screws up.... It is so frustrating. So when I try to back up, it says the " the backup on TC is already in use "....
Everytime. Does anyone know how I can use the old backup so I just continue on. I really hate having to reset and start over again.
I have an external hard drive connected to the Time Capsule so It is recognized by Finder. I can click on TC and then see the "xxxx.sprsebundle with today's date. But it won't connect.
I really would appreciate it if someone can simply explain why this happens and what, if anything I can do about it.
Sincerely,
Skip

My ipad will not connect to App Store plus I can no longer get into my bingo app. Do I need to restore my ipad, and if so, if I back it up, will I still keep all my levels completed on my apps or will they start from the beginning?

Please help, I an unable to update any apps on my ipad through the App Store. It will not connect. Also, I am no longer able to log in to bingo bash app and my towers app will not connect either. If I restore my ipad will that fix the problem and if so, will my apps return to levels I am currently on? Ex. Level 346 in candy crush or will I have to start it all over? It worked fine until we left a week ago for vacation and would not work on hotel wifi. Did not work when we returned home.

Can not restore Laptop to original factory settings

I have the same issue with this product HP CQ62 xa500ua#aba.
Went to restore my mother in laws laptop to factory using the hard drive but recovery had error after 15 %, the recovery dvd's had been created so I tried those and got the error system recovery media does not suppor this computer.
She is one of the few people i know who created the recovery disks as soon as she got the computer.
The system was back up but the drive is wiped from the partial recovery. I suspect the recovery image was invalid from the factory. Now what?

SSAUDIT .alg and .atx files are out of synch. How do I start from scratch ?

After upgrading Hyperion Planning from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1, the .alg and .atx files that are generated when SS Audit is enabled are now out of synch. How do I start from scratch again ? Stated differently, the row numbers in the .alg file no longer correspond to the .atx rows. How do I "reset" these files so they start again in row 1 ?
I know this must have happned to someone else so I thought a solution could be easily googled and found. I can't find it anywhere.

Stop the application and delete the files. If you want to just keep the changes from the last backup, change in the essbase.cfg SSAudit to SSauditR and then when you do an endArchive it will delete the files and start over

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred my iTunes archive of music to it. How do I transfer the playlists from my other computer(s)? iTunes on the new machine wants to start from scratch.

How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.

Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
username/Music/itunes
Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
username/music/
This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.

You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall does not touch your content. That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a backup in case of disasters.

My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
I look forward to an early response.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

You need to copy some files and your iTunes folder to the new computer. Do you have a backup of your old computer (or still have the old computer?) Was the old computer a Mac or PC?
