My laptop was stolen. How can I move music to a new computer?

I have to buy a new laptop (PC) because mine was stolen a couple of weeks ago.  I don't have the ability to deauthorize iTunes, or copy files.  All the articles I'm finding about using your iPod as a hard disk say that they don't apply to iPod Touch.  I'm nervous that I'm going to lose everything when I sync to a new computer.  Is there any way to save all of my files (including Playlists)?

  • My laptop was stolen, how can i find it?

    My MacBook pro was stolen, how can I find it?

    Did you activate the Find My Mac feature in iCloud when you still had the Mac? If not, there's pretty much no way. Report it to the police and your insurance.

  • My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me.  I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
    My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it.  The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
    I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive.  I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
    As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes.  I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
    As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern.  It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store.  I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
    I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
    Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I move music to a new computer and ipod?

    how do I move music from my laptop to my new mac mini and new ipod?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple support and they will help you do it.

  • How can I move CS6 to a new computer?

    I received my license through TechSoup. My macbook pro is old and I am replacing it when the next models come out (we hope in a couple of months)  Right now I need to use only one app (inDesign) which I currently have in trial mode. I don't have room to put the whole CS6 on this computer, though I could put it on an attached HD.  What should be my plan of attack so as to not invalidate my license?

    you are entitled to two concurrent installations/activations with your one license, but if you don't need cs6 on your old computer, deactivate (help>deactivate) it.
    when your new computer arrives install (do not move/transfer/copy/etc) cs6 on your new computer and activate it with your serial number.

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    My iPad was stolen, how can I have it blocket and/or send to the iPad a message to get it back

    If you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen, and if it is still turned on and connected to the internet with Find My iPad enabled, you can do this by going to icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165.

  • HT201472 If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure out if the find my ipod app is activated

    If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure outg if the find my ipod app is activated.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?

    Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?
    please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?

    You're welcome.  If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
    First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup.  This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings.  You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup.  If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.  This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream.  (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days.  Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.)

  • My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without having to wait fo rthe serial number to come up

    My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without have to wait for the serial number?

    The serial number will not help you track it at all.
    IF you set up fond my ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been restored by the thief, tehn you may be able to get an approx street address from icloud/find my ipod.
    Otherwise, there is no way to track it at all.

  • HT1420 One computer crashed, the other was stolen along with iphone. I just got new computer & am trying to retrieve music from Icloud/itunes but it won't let me - says I need to deauthorize previous devices - how can I do that without the devices?

    One computer crashed, the other was stolen along with iphone. I just got new computer & am trying to retrieve music from Icloud/itunes but it won't let me - says I need to deauthorize previous devices - how can I do that without the devices?

    Deauthorize all.
    Then authorize the active computers.
