    my old laptop crashed how do i get my library on my new laptop?

    An external bay is something like this: External 2.5 SATA to USB Hard Drive Caddy Case
    A small Philips driver is usually all you need to access the hard drive in the leptop. You (or a technically adept friend) remove the drive from the old laptop, put it in the bay, hook it up to your new computer and read what can be recovered from it. Your iTunes library would typically be in X:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes where X: is the letter assigned to the drive.
    There's a chance the drive won't work at all, but often it will work for reading data even when you can no longer get it to run your operating system. Seems like a small investment to potentially recover all your lost data, not just iTunes.
    If the drive won't work, then the link I posted earlier explains how you can recover all the media and data from your existing device into a new iTunes library. Once you dont this you can restore the backup of the old device to the new one.

    my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

    I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
    2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
    I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
    Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
    You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
    1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
    2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
    I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
    When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
    The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
    Can anyone provide assistance??
    thanks!

    Hi chrisb75729216,
    I checked with your account but could not find any order history so you might be using another email address on forums.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from old machine and then install Acrobat on the new machine by activating with the same serial number.
    Please download Acrobat XI pro from here: Other downloads
    If you have single user license, then remember that the software can be activated on maximum two computers, say your desktop at work and laptop at home.

    Hi appledapple1964,
    After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

  • HT204053 my phone keeps showing my old ID. How do I get it to display my new ID?

    my phone displays my old ID. How can I get it to display my new ID?

    For those previous purchases, you can never change it.  App and iTunes store purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when you first made the purchase - there is no way to change that.
    If you went to https://appleid.apple.com and changed the primary email address you used for your AppleID, then the account itself was not changed, just the credentials.  If that is what you did, you need to log out of the store and log back in with the new email address you are using as your AppleID.
