New Computer + old iPhone = no Apps?? jeeez louise....

Hello ,
So I gets my new mac book Pro, all shiney and whatever. My iPhone 4 was synced and backed up to the old mac book Pro see. So I gets my iphone back up files from the old book and put them in the new book Library>Application Support>Mobile Sync thinking i'm all this an that with being clever. I then reboot the phone so I can sync with the new book, music gone, but that's cool for school cause I gots that backed up.
So the new book it makes it's own new back up, then asks me if I wanna sync with 'this' computer - with me?? Good. so all my pics, settings all good in the hood same as before. So then I goes the Apps back up folder, open with itunes they appear i start movin them around getting them all tidy and shippy shape. Press sync - no way hose!! You gotta authorize this machine to your itunes account - OK OK done, easy. Not so Joe - problem is itunes recognises the new book as authorised but eeach time i try and sync the apps - "you gotta authorize this computer the frickin itunes whatever blah" I'm goin around in frickin circles here! Can anyone help with this I mean jeez what the donald duck??
Thanks,

Unless you maintained a backup for your original computer that included your iTunes library and photos transferred from the computer to your iPhone, some of this data available on your iPhone may be lost.
The sync process for iTunes content and for photos transferred to your iPhone is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
Contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 for contact info and calendar events, or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP or the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for OE for contact info.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize the new or different computer with the same iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. Since the original resolution of these photos would be lost if it were possible to transfer such photos in the opposite direction, Apple doesn't include a method for doing so. I believe there is a 3rd party utility that provides for this, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost, and such a utility is not supported by Apple if it causes any problems.

  • IPhone syncing, new computer old iphone.... major issues.

    I recently bough a new macbook pro, i have an old iphone 2g (dont ask me why i still have this ancient beauty, i just love it). However I havent updated my iphone in over a year and need to update it.
    Since this is a new computer and I do not have the other one, which I would usually use to connect to my iPhone, the new computer won't let me sync anything without deleting everything on it.
    How do I sync all my stuff (or at least all my contacts to my address book) so that i can restore and update the iphone 2g for to this new computer??? thx for the time.
    o and is there any good free 3rd party software that can assist in this if apple can't... and no i do not have a backup on my new mbp, so i can't just restore and use a backup.

    I already have some contacts in my address book. So I tried to look for the iPhone under >import however, nothing.... So do i just press sync on my iphone on itunes? Will it give me the option as soon as i press it or just delete everything.... dont want to press something and make a mistake that will cost me all my contacts.

  • New computer, old iPhone

    I need to change which computer (PC) I sync my iPhone on...I don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc. to upgrade to 2.0 and the original computer that I used no longer exists.
    There has to be a way to tell the phone to consider the new computer as the "default"
    Please help!

  • Can I save messages from both my new and old iphone

    I was unable to set up my new iphone 6 right away due to computer issues where my itunes and phone backup are stored. Now I have messages on both my new and old iphones that I don't want to lose, but I need to restore my new phone with the backup of the old. Is there any way to add the messages from the new iphone to the backup of the old?

    Not really - but at least you are thinking about it in advance which is good
    The restore from backup as you know is a snapshot in time of your phone
    So if you restore from the old - you lose the new messages after that point
    You may be able to use software like TouchCopy to get the messages off your phone - either old or new

    purchased adobe 10 and 7 -- 2012 and 2013 -- trying to install on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need serial number. where do i get it. only have 6 discs.

    Adobe is a company... what does "Adobe 10" and "Adobe 7" mean?
    If you bought those on disc I don't think they are part of the Cloud
    The serial number is usually on a sticker on the disc holder inside the box
    If you lost your serial number check https://www.adobe.com/account.html for your registered products

  • New computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod?

    new computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod? the music wasn't transfered from cd's, shared music files...no purchased from the ipod store.

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

  • I transferred my library to my new computer (old one completely dead!) and the music transferred but not my audio books.  They aren't appearing in my purchased history.  Can anyone help?

    I transferred my library to my new computer (old one dead!) and the music transferred to a new library ok, but not my audiobooks.  My purchased history doesn't show any purchasing in this format.  Can anyone help?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you won't be able to redownload them via the Purchased link. Do you have a copy of them on your iPod or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can I transfer my iphone to a new computer without losing my apps

    Hi,
    so here's my story:
    I share a computer with another family member (computer 1) and we each have our own iphones with different apple ID's on computer 1.  I recently got a new computer though and downloaded itunes onto it (computer 2). I've already started adding music to computer 2 and now I want to move my iphone to computer 2. How can I do that so that I do not lose all my apps? I guess it would be okay to lose the pictures and music because I already have a way to recover those.  But I wouldn't mind if anyone has a way to salvage everything. Also, it should be noted that I do not prefer to keep computer 1's library.
    Second question: If I were to copy computer 1's library to computer 2, would I be able to keep the existing music from computer 2, or would it just replace the whole library with the copy of computer 1's?
    Third question: Computer 2 claims that there is now a backup of my iphone on it, but still won't let me sync the phone. If I were to go ahead and say, "yes, sync the phone and erase the content," would computer 2 allow me to restore the phone or not? (because it's still synced to computer 1)
    Thanks in advance everyone!
    Sincerely, the dark night

  • Got a new computer. old computer fell unable to access any infrmation how do i safely get the music stored on my iphone back on itunes and how can i get my aps back that where erased when trying to syn my iphone to my new computer

    This my second computer in the last two years. The first one fell and broke but I had only $20 worth of Itune stuff on the first one so I did not bother however this second computer I have tons of apps and music. I have lost all my apps while I was trying to backup my iphone with my new computer. I am wondering how can i get those apps back. How can I safely syn my iphone to my new computer without losing any more stuff.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Certainly after losing everything once, you started doing the basics and have a backup copy.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( twice), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Make sure that you have your computer authorized to your itunes account.
