How do I transfer my existing iTunes account to my new iPhone 4?

How do I transfer my existing iTunes account to my new iPhone 4? Then when I am done reset my old iPod Touch so one of my kids can use it?

Let me google that for you

I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

you have a new phone and a new comp and you want to restore to your old data ?!
I can't think of anything but icloud, and what was purchased via itunes

I just purchased a new MacPro to replace my existing 2006 MacPro which cannot be undated with the new operating system. My question is what is the safest way to transfer all my files. 1) simply install my existing 2TB HD into the new Mac Pro or 2)

I just purchased a new MacPro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor to replace my existing 2006 MacPro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon because it cannot be undated with the new Lion operating system.
My question is what is the safest way to transfer all my files to the new computer. 1) simply install my existing 2TB HD into the new Mac Pro, set it as the startup drive, and update its10.7 operating system or 2) or use the migration program.
I'm concerned that simply installing the existing 2TB HD, I may have issues with it not recognising some infromation written for the old 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon.

your new system runs 10.6.8 just fine as has been said and stated many times.
I would clone it first.
I would even clone the original system it has.
And if you have or want to use Lion and then Mountain Lion, fine - I would still keep backups of every OS.
I am not a fan of putting the OS and Apps plus all the data all on one drive. I like to keep them separate.
Whatever OS, rerun the last combo update is all and any other updates.
And by "new Lion" I assume you don't mean 10.7 but "Moutain" 10.8. Part of me says keep Lion and SL around, and test and try out ML with your apps and other hardware you may have. After too many years, waiting for 10.8.1 - and give everyone time to update their apps and retest.

I cant transfer my songs from old iphone to new iphone wont load into library

I cant transfer my songs from my iphone 3gs to my new 4s they wont load into the library ive tried everything and im stumped

All your media should be in your library. If for some reason this is not the case 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 from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the new device from the old backup
This process should switch set up your new device with the data and settings in your apps, assuming that is waht you wanted to achieve.
Might 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 sorted, make a backup!

I recently broke up with my girlfriend and I'm trying to switch all of my info. around to my new place and pc. How do I save all of my existing files of music, etc. to the new pc and start a new itunes library using what I already have? I don't know what kind of info. that I would need about her pc or if I need anything at all. Can somebody please help?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-part program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...Some third-party programs also allow moving synced photos to the new computer.
- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup
- Restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

Laptop brokre, managed to recover files onto harddrive, how do i transfer the music files into my library on a new computer, Laptop brokre, managed to recover files onto harddrive, how do i transfer the music files into my library on a new computer

ok so to cut a long story short my itunes account was on a laptop that broke, managed to get photo and music file backed up onto hard drive.
Can i just log into my itunes account on a new pc to sync andbackup my iphone? or do i need to transfer my music file into the account?
Really need some help!
I have an iphone, Ipod and the account on the old laptop.

"I don't have the old computer. It overheated and literally melteddown!"
This is why it has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.
Did you fail to do this?
"I have been talked through a back up process of the itouch music on to the new laptop before, but can't remember how to do it. Any ideas on this process."
Again.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. the only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get non-itunes purchased music from the ipod.

How do I transfer my iWeb files to a new computer?

I recently did a clean install of Yosemite to my new iMac, getting rid of years of unneeded files.
I have successfully reinstalled all the programs I use frequently, but I am stumped on how to transfer my iWeb files so they work on my new computer.
I have transferred the preferences and the domain files, but they still do not show up when I open iWeb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And......how I wish Apple would bring iWeb back. It is the best app for making websites I have ever used.

Place the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If there's no iWeb folder create one and put it in there. Now try to launch iWeb and see if it will find and open the Domain file.
If you still can't open the domain file do the following:
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: Since Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

HELP- new laptop- how do i transfer my existing tunes onto my new laptop?

Hi Guys,
I have 800 tunes saved in the Library on my old laptop and have brought a new laptop. I want to transfer my existing tracks onto the new computer. Could someone explain how to do this or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
Jen

It's easy.
I'm assuming you know how to get your two notebooks onto the network, and make them accessible to each other by sharing folders.
Goto old notebook itunes, goto your iTunes settings and check to see where iTunes keeps your music. It could be in your 'My Music'. This is also where iTunes keeps the Library database. Regardless, confirm the location because you will need to SHARE this folder on your network.
Goto NEW notebook itunes. 2 things need to happen here.
(1) In your iTunes settings, make sure you tell itunes to manage your music (which means it will copy any songs you add to the library to a local central location on your NEW notebook).
(2) Import your ITUNES Library from OLD notebook. The import command is found in the FILE menu. Remember - you will need to browse over the network to your SHARED Folder sitting on the OLD notebook. Once iTunes imports the library, it should also be copying all the songs over the network to your new notebook. I would highly recommend not doing this over a wireless network.
Simple.
