New computer , and no way to access my old one.

I just got a new computer, and I really want to put my iTunes library on it. I thought you could just plug in your iPhone and it'll automatically sync to the computer, but when I pressed sync, literally nothing happened. I have like 900 songs, and their is no way I can go and make CD's off my old computer to transfer them onto this one. How can I put my songs on my Itunes from my Iphone4? Is it even possible without having to delete anything from my iphone, like without deleting music? (I have windows 7) .

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
Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing):
- MusicRescue - http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/products/musicrescue/ - Mac & Windows
- Sharepod (free) - http://download.cnet.com/SharePod/3000-2141_4-10794489.html?tag=mncol;2 - Windows

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
In general do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining a backup of your media on a computer backup.

Getting a new computer and want to set up the old one for wireless.

I am getting a new G5 and have a few questions about wireless networking.
First off, I presently have a G4 Dual 400, wired to a Netgear wireless G router. My laptop (G4 Titanium) and my iPhone will not connect to wi-fi at the furthest location in my house. I can get 1 bar. If I move to the next room I can get some times 2 bars. The router is located on the third floor of our house. It is the only place the cable comes in for the internet. I cannot change it's location.
If I upgrade to the Air Port Extreme. (I have a 100 iPhone credit) can I expect a big improvement in coverage? I am not so concerned about speed.
Secondly, I am giving the G4 to the kids. It will be located in the farthest room from the Air Port Extreme as well.
I have looked at Sonet's PCI Card $100.00 and this, on Ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150164457261&ssPageName= STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005. Has anyone had any experience with either? Also seen on ebay is a USB antenna, a little deal, looks like a flash drive that plugs in.
Any thoughts appreciated.

For future reference,
If you don't know, you usually have to be hard-wired (ethernet cable) to the router to change anything. Only for changes .
I doubt that you will get a better signal as the FCC standard is so many watts max. (unless you hack it, but who wants to sleep next to a microwave?)
BUT, you can use a repeater. You just plug it into an electical outlet say, on the second floor and it should be able to repeat the signal from there. I don't think the older Base Stations could do it so i'm not sure about the new ones. But you can get one from say, Lynksys, Netgear, Belkin, etc. and they are a bit cheaper too. I think their called Bridges.
I would definatly find out before you buy the Airport tho. AulfulI expensive door stop if it won't work. I think i remember someone using the Express" (?) for the same thing but it was for streaming music to the stereo, I don't think it is "G" rated tho so it would slow every thing down.
By the way Max bars, (nearest), you can play Quake, Unreal, etc, but under 1 bar, (farthest), you might be able to play chess.
Unless you have a USB-2 port your better off with a Firewire dongle. They didn't have USB-2 on the earlier Laptops. But the Firewire ones are hard to find. I plan on getting one for the wifes G3 Ibook.
What ever you get, remember, you want at LEAST what your DSL/Cable router is."G" router, "G" cards, bridges, etc. If anything make sure they are backwards compatible to A-B-G so if you get a "good deal" on a "whatever" and it's not as fast as the network because it's locked out then it's not a good deal if you can't use it. If you can afford it, go with the next higher rating as in "N" (or at least 5 minutes ago) but make sure it's backwards useable so when you upgrade to another 'puter etc, one less item to upgrade....

I installed Firefox 5 on a new computer and transferred my bookmarks from my old one. I cannot get my bookmark folders displayed on the bookmark toolbar. How do I add them to the toolbar? I can see the bookmarks have been downloaded.

I tried to follow the help directions and do not see Mozilla at the top of the page as directed in the help instructions.

You're welcome.

I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account. The message says that I am allowed to have only 5 authorized computers on this account. I do not have 5 authorized computers on my account. What can I do?

I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account. The message says I can't have more than 5 computers on this account and I don't. What can I do?

First of all you should really post this in Itunes forums cause you might get more hits on it.. Anyway.. You can only authorize up to 5 comps on one itunes account.. This does not include iOS devices. Those you can have 10.
So to fix this issue, open itunes, hit store on the left side, click log in (or your e-mail address if you are already logged in) in the top right hard corner of the page. One you log into your account you will see a a little area where it says you authorized 5 out of 5 comps. Below it should be a button to clear all those out. Itunes will de-authorize all computers on the account then you need to go back Store tab in the menu bar and select authorize this computer.
Remember it will deauthorize all your computers, so you need to re-authorize any other computers you have.

HT1338 my old mac cant connect to internet and my migration assistant needs an upgrade is there any way to download to my new mac and install the upgrade on my old one so i can complete the migration process?

I just purchase a new IMac, I am trying to use migration assistant. the problem I am having is my old mac cannot connect to the internet and it needs a software update, can I download the update on my new mac and install it somehow on my old mac?

If it's a free update, search Apple's support site for it and move the dmg as you would any file. If it's a paid upgrade, no; the Mac App Store upgrades, while downloadable, can't be downloaded from a Mac which can't use them.

My sister was receiving my messages on her iPad because we were hooked up to the same Apple ID. I made a new id and registered to my phone and MacBook only. Is she still getting my message AND can she still access my old ones?

When trying to fix the problem I signed out of the old iCloud account on my phone and computer, created a new account and then registered my phone and computer to this new account. I also made sure to check that send/receive was only for my phone number and Apple ID email. I want to make sure that she can no longer access my old and new messages. Thank you!

She won't after the change.
Note you can use the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

We had to change email and I can't access the old one. iCloud sends instructions to change passwords to the old account. I have tried deleting the old iCloud and create a new account, but it shows iCloud sent verification to the old email address again!

We had to change our email address and I cannot have access to the old one. I have changed accounts but iCloud sends verification instructions to the old address. I deleted the old but it won't let me access a new account without he verification and they keep sending it to my old email address.

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

I got a new computer but my itunes is still on my old computer. how do i move my itunes to my new computer and get it off of my old computer

I now have my daughter's old laptop computer. She had her itunes account on it previously and now has her music libraries, etc. on her new laptop. I just uploaded itunes to her old computer so I can put my own music on the computer. But itunes still shows my daughters 2 apple devices on the old laptop - her iphone and her ipod. How can I put my devices on the old laptop and make sure I don't mess up her devices that she syncs, etc. to her new computer? I have an 'older' nano that I put music on years ago using a laptop (that no longer works) that I'm trying to put more music on. I also just got an ipad so am using my new apple account now (I can't even remember my old account information).

Hi BeckyNJ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I found the following information that may help you transfer your iTunes library from your previous computer to this new one:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
You mentioned wanting to sync an older iPod nano with multiple computers. To do so, you may find the following information helpful:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
Regarding your previous iTunes / Apple ID account that you lost track of, we have a very helpful tool in attempting to recover that information:

I know that is a lot to hit you with at once, but I hope it was helpful!
Thanks,

I just got a new computer and i still have to use old comp to update and manage apps. how do i switch over to my new comp?

i got a new comp yet i still have to use my old one to update and manage apps on my iphone 4. how do i switch it over?

What I do when I get a new computer is the first time I turn it on is use Setup Assistant. Once Setup Assistant has finished doing its thing, the new computer is just like my old one.

New computer , and no way to access my old one.
