New computer: How do I transfer content to new computer?

Hi,
My MacBook Pro got stolen about 5 days ago... I just got a new one and restored my files from a Time Machine backup that I did 30 days ago.
On my iPhone I keep a "Recently Added" playlist that goes back to 4 weeks, where all the new music that I've purchased/imported to iTunes in the last 30 days is - the exact music which is not in my Time Machine backup....
How do I transfer those songs back to my computer? I guess this also applies to contacts/applications, which would be cool to have back!

You'll find details in on copying purchases to your computer in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

How do you transfer contents from old ipad to new?

How do you transfer contents from old iPad to new?

Caesar1948-
I'm not using iCloud, so do not know for sure. I feel as if I have more control by using iTunes on my computer, to determine what is on my iPad, and what gets deleted.
If your wife will share the same Apple ID with you, you do not need to remove everything from the old iPad. She can share your purchased Apps, music, et cetera.
In iTunes, you can have several iOS devices sharing Apps under a common Apple ID, but you can also "uncheck" specific Apps you do not want on one of your devices. Each device has an identity so iTunes should remember which App goes on which device during future syncs.
If your wife will have her own individual Apple ID, you need to go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. This will return the iPad to factory defaults, except it will retain the latest iOS version installed.

My daughter has shared my iTunes account for the past 10 years. Now that she has established her own iTunes account, how can she transfer content from my account to her new account?

Hi Dennis,
If you want to share iTunes purchases between multiple accounts in the same family you could use Family Sharing.

How do I transfer content from my old iPhone to new iPhone when using someone elses computer?

Don't use someone else's computer. Create an iCloud backup of your old phone and restore to that backup when you setup your new phone.

How do you transfer content from an iPod touch to iTunes?

How do you transfer content from an ipod touch to itunes without buying another software?

You can't. Mobile devices are not set up to transfer most items to a computer and if that's what you want to do (with the noted exception) then you have to pay for it.
Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: 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):

How do I transfer contents from my old mac

how do I transfer contents from my old mac back up disk

See this excellent write-up by Pondini ( a regular here, and resident Time Machine expert) on setting up a new Mac from a TM backup from an old machine.
Here.
It describes using Setup Assistant, a much better way than using Migration Assistant in creeating a seamless transition of your old applications, data files, and users. Normally you only have one opportunity to use it, upon first boot of your MacBook.

My galaxy s5 has a blank screen. How do I transfer content to the replacement phone if I can't use the one with the blank screen?

The screen on my Galaxy S5 suddenly went blank. I can still hear when I have a message and a call, but the screen will not turn on. I am getting a replacement phone today, but how do I transfer content when I can't see anything on my old phone, so I can't use it to go into the different settings?

I know its frustrating to have a blank screen on your phone JackiDawn. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement soon. Have you downloaded your data to the Cloud?

How do i transfer content from a windows phone to an iphone

How do I transfer content from a windows phone to an iphone?

Hi Julian,
Sorry for the delay in response, I didn't think many answers would come in so quickly being Christmas and all...
My Dad only needs to be able to access files for reference; any editing or alteration to pre-existing files would largely be done on a desktop or his laptop. In the meantime, Dropbox does look ideal and I will investigate along with the other great ideas suggested on here for the best option.
Thanks very much...

You can transfer the info to a supported program on the PC, such as Outlook and set up the iPhone to use Outlook to sync the contact info from.

How do we transfer content between Portals ?

Hi all ,
How do we transfer content between Portals . In SAP R3 we transfer content using transport request. can any one explain how do we transfer content between poptals (Development, quality and porduction systems)
Thanks
Rajeev.

Hi,
You will use Portal Transport to transport content between your DEV-QA-PROD system.
You will have to go to system administraton-->transport tab.
Create a transport package and add the portal content objects you wish to transport.
and download that as an EPA file and upload it to the next portal.

PC crashed how do I transfer content to new computer?

My PC crashed and all I have is the content of my iPhone and on my son's iPod and the iPad. How do I transfer their content to the new computer.

No I haven't backed up the computer. I know that I can get my purchased apps and songs back as iTunes keeps a record of what you have bought but what about your CD's that you have downloaded and how do you preserve your notes and info.
I use my iPad to download my photos to and edit them. Am I able to off load those on to an external hard drive before I sync.
I may have a copy of something's on an old iPod classic as I had to transfer from a PC to a Mac some months ago so I am hoping I won't be in too much trouble with this. But I worry about a locked notes file I have and my photos, contacts etc.
I guess that I am in a position to manually record or print off any info I need to keep but what a job!!!!
I'd like to be lazy and avoid all of that if I can.

How do i transfer content from my ipod touch to my new PC's iTunes?

I recently purchased a new laptop. I wanted to know how I can transfer all my content from my ipod touch to my new PC.

Ideally you would have backed up the library from your old comupter on a regular basis, and have restored that library to your new computer...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

How do I transfer contents of hard drive on PPC iMac G4 to a new quad-core Intel Core i5

         Although my PPC iMac G4 still works OK, I am beginning to realise the time has probably come to get a current model in order to keep up with all the advances that have happened since I bought it about 8 years ago: I will probably get the new quad-core Intel Core i5.
         As this will only be my second computer, I am wondering how I can transfer all the stuff on my hard drive onto a new computer and how easy it will be,given the apparently outdated connections on my G4 like USB 1,and possibly other things I don't know about.I am running 10.4.11.
          Any tips gratefully received.

As Allen indicates, Setup Assistant appears automatically, since you do have firewire, the transfer should be speedy, depending on how much data are on the G4. The firewire on your G4 is FW400, your new Mac has FW800, but you can get an inexensive adaptor that will allow the connection, since the ports are different.
You don't need an external now, but I strongly advise getting one, with a drive as large or larger than your new Mac, you should clone/back up frequently, I use SuperDuper! which will allow automatic backups.
