Need Help snycing apps from Ipad to new Computer

Need some help.
I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 After I had a virus. So I just installed Itunes and plugged in my Ipad to sync up my Apps since My Ipad is full.
But I been unable to backup my Ipad or transfer purchases to Itunes. If I try to backup my Ipad I get this message
"iTunes could not back up the iPad because the Ipad is disconnected."
If I try to transfer purchases, it looks like it is working as I can see it go through the apps in the top middle bar of itunes. But when I go to my Itunes libary it only shows a couple apps transferred.
Anyway to backup my Ipad on my "new" computer? I dont want to lose all my save files, bookmarks etc.

Tried multiple solutions and keep running into the same messages. I get the message when I try to back up and if I click on transfer purchases it seems like it works as in the top bar in iTunes it seems to go through my apps, it says coping but when I look in my App library they aren't there.
I really don't want to go through and try to download each app again. I have so many it would take forever.

Cannot transfer apps from iPad to new computer

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Air and have been trying to transfer the apps from my iPad 1 to it unsuccessfully. I've been struggling for over a week now and it started off well then stopped at an app, so I deleted it from the ipad, and then after that it would stop at the next app in the list. I've deleted like 11 apps so far from my iPad but it's not helping! I tried to transfer from iPad onto my old laptop (windows) and I realised it's stopping at the same app. I freed up space on the hard disk but still nothing. I've made sure that the itunes is authorised with the correct account and done everything. Rebooted the ipad and the computers.
I can't upgrade to iOS5 untill I have all the apps installed. I'm making the Macbook my main computer and will eventually stop using the other laptop so am transferring everything over. I've done alot of searching on this forum and I haven't found a single solution to this issue. It's very very irritating. Could somebody please help me out here as I'm reaching the end of my tether.

Try this, if you have not already. Connect the pad to the computer. In itunes on the mac, open the file menu on the top, and click on transfer purchases from......
Then on the summary tab for your device, click on back up to this computer.
If you have a bunch of pictures, open iphoto and bring those up while you are at it.
Just to make sure everything is working, do a sync.
Then, start the upgrade process. You need to make sure your itunes version is 10.5, if you have not already done so. Good luck. The process can get frustrating when there are a lot of variables in play, such as wswitching computers.
But once you get it right, the upgrade is fairly painless.

Need help tranferring license from old to new computer.

What is the procedure for transferring an Acrobat X Pro license previously downloaded from the Adobe LWS from one computer to another without having to purchase a new license?
Appreciate any assistance.

Hi Mikhail Y.,
To transfer license of Acrobat X from your first computer to second computer you just need to uninstall Acrobat X from your first computer and install it on the second computer with the serial number.
With all other software there is need to deactivate the software from the help menu of the software but with Acrobat X uninstallation will deactivate the software from the machine and you can easily activate the same on second computer.

Syncing with new computer
This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
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.

The best solution is to copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer (or the backup you keep against loss) to the new one. That's how it is set up to be done.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I need help activating serial number on a new computer after deactivation from an old computer

I deactivated and checked the box for remove entire product from my old computer and now the serial number is saying it is not valid when I try to use it on my new computer even after registering it, any ideas?

Brami wrote:
I am beginning to think that this is the issue - i have downloaded the CC version - why are they not the same serial number. ALSO Adobe is really hard to navigate - i can't even find the stand alone version to download.
The CC version doesn't use a serial number. Is activated with your Adobe ID and password. And it's all tied to your account being paid current. Other than that, the programs are the same. You have been provided the link to the standalone installation in the comment above this one.

How do I transfer my files from iPad to NEW computer?

PLEASE help!!!! My old computer crashed so I had to buy a NEW computer. I have all my music, apps and books on my iPad. I trried to do the "transfer apps" in the iTunes but it only transfered my apps NOT my music or books. All my music and books are from 3rd party sites ( not bought from iTunes). My books are mainly PDF files. I just need to get into the iPad somehow and drag and drop my folders back into iTunes. I tried doing the "show hidden folders" but I still get nothing Can anybody help me? I don't want to lose all my books or music!

I am going to lose everything I spent so much time downloading.
Don't worry. If you've been backing up your downloads, you can't lose anything. That's what backups are for - to prevent data loss in the event of a crashed hard drive or other unforeseen catastrophy.
If I KNEW how to restore my Library from the most recent backup of my crashed computer I'm sure I would have done so right?
OK, so I'll assume from that comment that you have been making backups - which is a very good start - you just don't know how to restore them, right? If you tell us how you made the backups (what software you use, where you back up to), then I'm sure someone will be able to advise on how to restore from those backups. In the meantime, the user guide for your backup software should have a section on restoring from backups.

Old Hard drive crashed, need to transfer music from iPod to new computer

Hello. My old hard drive crashed and I bought a new computer. Unfortunately I did not back up any files from my old computer and lost all files including iTunes music. All I have is the music from my iPod. I would like some help or if anyone knows anything about how to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer. I guess my new computer is not the original authentic one in the itunes system and will not let me exchange music from my iPod to new computer. I would appreciate help if anyone has ideas. Thank bunches.

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a 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
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
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.

Syncing apps from iPhone to new computer

I have a new computer and want to sync my phone and all it's apps to my new computer. How do I do this without loosing all of my apps?

Hi ...
What if that doesn't help?
I have a new computer cause the other one crashed, and I've tried this but didn't succeed. It seems to be working and when iTunes ask if I want to use the new properties and I press ok, nothing has been done, and there's no programs in my iTunes program libary?
It want me to update an empty iTunes libary even if I try to import buying from my iPhone.
Unfortunately the answer is not very helpful to me.
Happy Easter.

How to transfer files from ipad to new computer

I am trying to find out how to transfer files, (Music, Videos, Ect.) from my iPad to a another computer. I lost all my files on my computer and it won't let me recover my files from my iPad and save them on my new install.

Honestly there is no real way unless these are items you have purchased from iTunes. There is an option to Transfer Purchases from iPad but these are only going to be Apps, Music, Videos, etc. that you purchased and downloaded from the App Store/iTunes (you can also do the same by just opening up iTunes on your computer, going to iTunes Store, then going to Purchases, and downloading your purchases).
If they are files that you haven't purchased through the App Store/iTunes then you won't be able to transfer those back to your computer.

As you may have already found out that while we can transfer music from iTunes to an iPod, we cannot transfer music from iPod to iTunes.
You need to move your music from your iPod to your new iTunes and one of the ways that you can do this is with the help of a third party software.
Please read [*_This Discussion Thread_*|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10570955#10570955] and pay particular attention to the post from Zevoneer. In his post all available software is listed which you can use to accomplish what you want. Most of the software is free. Good Luck.

Computer crashed, need to load files from ipod to new computer

my computer crashed and had no backup files. i have all my songs on my ipod and need to load them to my new computer. how do i do this?

Hi! Welcome to Apple Discussions Forum.
If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

Need help with Westell Versalink 327w on new computer with Windows Vista

Greetings!
I'm having trouble trying to connect to my Westell Versalink 327w with my new computer. My old computer and laptop work perfectly fine in connecting to the router. However, when I plug in the Ethernet cable to the router on my new computer, the computer doesn't recognize that a connection is even established. (As if it's not actually plugged in.)
The port on the back of my computer is perfectly fine, as it works with another internet connection I have setup. The cable and router work fine on both my old computer and laptop. (In fact, I'm using the laptop to post on the forums right now.)
The Router itself shows the Ethernet connection that's plugged in as a blinking green light.
Is there a driver or some software I need to install on the new computer? Any specific settings?
I'm using Windows Vista on the new computer, and the old computers both have Windows XP. Is there some sort of complicated new setup that Vista has which is preventing the connection, or like I said, is there software or a driver that I didn't install on the new computer that's making it not recognizing the router at all?
Any help would be much appreciated!

IceSage,
Hey there! Drivers would not required for an ethernet connection to the Versalink. This appears to be an issue with Vista specifically. If you have not already done so you may want to disable IPv6 in the TCP/IP settings of your LAN controller:
Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections > Right click on "Local Area Network" > Properties > Uncheck "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) > Click "OK" > Reboot > cross fingers
Let us know if that works.

Chris
