New Iphone/old iphone /itunes(2 computers)

Hi
I am having a issue with itunes
I just set up a new laptop, but still have old one with itunes on it(toshiba) I had an iphone 4 which i used with the toshiba to add music to it.
I bought a new iphone 5c yesterday and set it up using the old the  laptops itunes -toshiba- using the restore setting, so it copied everything (but music for some reason) to my new phone) I think the reason it didnt copy music is becacuse i remeoved all my music , although not off itunes, from my music libary eg computer> user>music folder.
I am going to sell the iphone 4
I have just set up my new laptop(hp), and as i couldnt get music through the old itunes on the tosbia, i downloaded itunes on to the new hp, plugged in the iphone 4, copied its playlist , removed the iphone 4, plugged in iphone 5c and added the playlist on to it.
When i was doing this, i cant remember at what point, on the new laptop, i got a message syaing all my stuff will be erased if synced- so i hit exit. All the data/contacts/music is still on the iphone 5c-- it wasnt erased.
My questions
- I no longer want to use the toshiba- should i de-authorise it/ then delete itunes? would this then make my new hp the main one and not delete anything?
- I have enabled home sharing- should this be removed?
-I am in the proccess of waitng for the old number on the iphone 4 to chnage to the iphone 5c(will be done tuesday) . After thats done, I want to erase everything off the iphone 4- how do i take it out of either itunes?
-Once the iphon 4 is out of the way, and hopefully the toshiba itunes gone -should it be ok?
- How do i then get it to back up the iphone 5c assumeing everything else is ok?
- Both the itunes on the accounts are diffrent, eg one has playlists ones dosent,  I have just seen that a nano i had years ago is still regersted to the toshiba- i dont have it anymore, so will i need to remove that as well? Its not registering the iphone 5c on this account(eg the email account i am using now)
I just want one account, that will work with one device-iphone 5c- i want to remove the nano, and remove the iphone 4(either before or after resell)
Sorry this if this is a bit of a mess

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The 5 limit is for computer authorisations, there is a limit of 10 for associated devices, but sure it can be removed, you can do this in your account settings in iTunes on a computer.

    everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!

    Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

  • Need to sync Apps from old Ipod to new Iphone on different computers

    I have apps on my old Ipod touch that I want to put on my new Iphone. My Ipod is synched to my PC, but I want to sync my new Iphone to my Macbook Pro. I also want to put the old apps on my Ipod and put them on my Iphone. What should I do?

    Sign into the Apple ID used to purchase them on you iPhone (in Settings>Store), then download the apps as past purchases directly to the phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).  Prior to syncing with your MacBook Pro, disable automatic syncing in iTunes (iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically").  Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar, right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer the apps to your iTunes library).  You will also need to authorize your computer for this Apple ID in iTunes (under Store>Authorize this computer) in order to sync these apps to your phone.

  • HT4009 I bough pinball arcade in app purchases ( all pinball machines that were available  ).  Now that I have new iphone, Itunes charged me again to download them on new phone.  They then told me they could do nothing.  Help.  They are ********.

    I bought and downloaded pinball acade from itunes in the last year.  I bought all in app puchases possible ( all pinball machines). Downloading them to my itouch an ipad as necessary.  Sometimes they would crash and I would simply reload them.  I bought a new iphones this week and while putting this app on my
    new phone (with in app puchases) I noticed my balance on my Itunes account was going down faster than my gas tank.  They were charging me again  I contacted Apple and Itunes and they told me it was not there problem and I needed to contact Pinballarcade.com.  That is like buying a washing machine from Sears and after having problems, they tell me to contact Kenmore.  I have bought thousands in music and apps over the years.  I will start switching to other services in the future.  I also have an occupation that allows me to interact with the public.  Whenever the opportunity allows,  I will tell them of my experiences.
    I did try to contact pinballarcade.com, but the website is not working, and I am running out of patience.

    The Same thing happened to me! I lost about 15 Tables from all first 3 seasons and I contacted their shoddy support email, and got a response saying that I should do this that and the other thing and I followed their advice only to get the same result....All of those table are still only available to me if I purchase them!  I am so upset, I think I lost about $60.00 in purchases for which I have all my receipts for....Anyone know an answer?  No snarky replies please, what do you have to gain from that..I'm sure we've all been screwed by in-app purchases before and you know what a shock it is.  Thanks in Advance!

  • New iPhone/iTunes Sync Seems Forever

    I'm just very disappointed that it's so far taken 45 minutes to sync my 16GB iPhone 3G, and all I did was add one song and re-arrange the icons from iTunes 9. I hope it doesn't do this every time I do a sync. Seems like the initial sync after upgrading to iTunes 9 and OS 3.1 wasn't that bad, but this one was a time killer.. I thought the syncing was supposed to be way faster by now..

    No Need For Follow Up.

  • Lost Iphone and old apps in itune download to new iphone

    I have lost my iphone recently. I have purchase a lot of apps in my itune account for the original iphone. Can I syn all my old data in itune and load my purchase in itune to my new iphone ( not yet buy)

    Do you mean that I need to buy the apps for my new iPhone if that apps have been transfered and install in my old lost iPhone?
    If you bought apps using iTunes on your computer, or you bought them on the iPhone, then transferred them to the computer, they will have copies on your computer. When you sync your new iPhone, iTunes will copy those apps to the new iPhone.
    If you had purchased some apps on the old iPhone and did not transfer them to the computer, you can purchase them again. If you use the same iTunes account as the original purchase, you will not be charged again.

  • Sync a new iPhone with iTunes

    My computer already installed the latest iTunes.
    When plugged in an old iPhone, iTunes immediately recognized it and can do sync.
    When plugged in a new iPhone, iTunes cannot recognize it.
    Tried logout and login with the right AppleID, but still does not work.
    Versions
    iTunes     12.1.0.71
    iPhone 6   64GB

    Howdy lamsps,
    It like one phone is not recognized in iTunes on your PC. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article for that one phone:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I will buy a new iphone, how can I upload the previously purchased apps?

    I hope, you can help me!

    once you connect the new iPhone, iTunes should ask you if you want to restore the backup of your old one. you can also redownload your purchased app over and over free of charge: How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

  • I can not activate my new iphone.

    I can not activate my new iphone. iTunes gives me the message "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier store." Should i contact with the telephone company or is something else?

    OK, call AppleCare in the UK...no one else can help you...be prepared to give them the phone's IMEI number & SN. They can verify whether your phone is carrier locked or not. Tell them you asked for an unlocked iPhone, that there was no sim in the phone or carrier name on the box or receipt. They can fix this remotely, by unlocking your phone, if it is in fact carrier locked & you were given this phone by mistake.

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

    I called the help number and the lady said she would have to charge me $29 to do so, but that there are other ways that are free that someone may be able to help me with.

  • I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6.  However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook.  I have read other threads but have not found answer.  help!

    I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists.  My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6.  I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone.  I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6.  However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook.  I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists.  Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes.  However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes.  I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists.   I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show.  Please help me.  I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists.  Thank you!

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer
