New Lap Top New Account?

Alright, so when getting a new laptop, what happens with your account? Do you lose it and all its't content? Or can you re-download it and still have the music and videos retained from the previous computer/laptop/account. Or what happens?

Backup your library using this User Tip.
Deauthorise the old computer if you won't be using it for iTunes.
Restore the library into the music folder on the new computer.
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

How do I take the itunes account I established on my lap top and merge it with the new account I set up on my ipad?

I would like to take the music that I have in my lap top - purchased and downloaded, and transfer it into my new account that I established on the ipad.
With 2 different account names and passwords, I am not sure how to connect the 2 - or transfer files from one to the other. My husband has also purchased songs to his ipod touch only - and we want to make one unified file of our music

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Apple's announcement of iOS 6 said they would allow merging accounts in the future.

I had an Apple account on my old Lap Top to which my iPad and iPhone were syncd. I now have a new Lap Top and when I tried to access my apple ID on it I was asked to sign up for a new account. I can't use any of them.

I need help. I had an apple account on my old Lap Top to which my iPad and iPhone were synced ? I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did. After doing this I tried to sync my iPad and phone to the new lap top which I was unable to do as they didn't recognise my new ID. HELP!!!!!! 

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

I have an hp account. I am installing a new hp officejet pro 8600 to my apple lap top. I need help

I already have an hp account. I need help with installing my new hp officejet pro 8600 to my mac lap top. what is this printer's claim conde # where do enter this code that I received. I need help

Hi pwestra,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to install your Officejet 8600 printer to your Mac laptop and then setup the ePrint feature of the printer.
The first thing we need to do is to connect the printer to your wireless network. This can be easily accomplished from the front panel of the printer using the Wireless Setup Wizard. If you are unsure how to do this, the steps can be found on page 225 of your User Guide in the section titled “Set up the printer using the Wireless Setup Wizard”.
Now let’s get the printer installed onto your laptop. Please follow the steps in Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network for the version of Mac OS X that you are running on your laptop. You should now be able to print and scan wirelessly.
To setup the ePrint feature of the printer please start by following the steps in Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with the claim code you can use it to claim the printer and then Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
If things go awry while following the above, please let me know at what step things went askance and the contents of any error messages.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

Am I in the wrong "Store" as I cannot locate anything thing similar on the open itunes.
Bob
Bob,
They did not mean the Store; they meant the Store menu on the iTunes menu bar! It is in a row with File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, and Help, as shown below.
If you don't see the menu bar, enable it by holding the CTRL key and pressing B.

Can't download iTunes to new PC lap top. "Itunes has stopped working, event name APPCRASH"

Hi
On hols my lap top died and I replaced it while away - so Lap top is Fijian, but my Apple I Tunes account is British - in case that's relevant.
Trying to download iTunes to the lap top, (windows 7) but I get the same error each time. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software several times.
Error message says "iTunes has stopped working" and the details says the following...

Taken at face value, that's an exceptionally old version number for that QuickTime component.
Do you have the QuickTime Player installed on your system at the moment? If so, is that also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music

I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
Can anyone help me?

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

How to transfer I tunes from old windows lap top to new Mac lap top

How do you transfer your i tunes account from an old windows lap top to your new Mac?

Drag and drop copy the iTunes folder to a external hard drive on Windows, then take it to the Mac and use iTunes there to import it.
If you want to read/write the external drive between Mac's and PC's, right click on the drive and format it exFAT or FAT in Windows, not NTFS.
Some Mac's can read NTFS, but not write to that format as it's proprietary.
When you format the drive, all data will be erased on it, so make sure before you do so.

New lap top need new serial number for adobe pro

can you advise where i can get a new serial number i have a new lap top and lost everything

If you have registered the product to one of your adobe id, please login to https://accounts.adobe.com/ with your adobe id see under the Plans and Products , where you would have all your products listed with the serial numbers. Else, then there is only alternative can be utilized if you have the proof of purchase ( do not have the proof of purchase, ask your reseller to provide you the proof of copy ) or the order number if bought from the Adobe itself or the email you accssed to buy the product from the Adobe as there would be transaction of the product listed under, then you can get the help with the serial number in following two ways:
First contact your reseller and ask them to provide the help as it was bought from them on the basis of the proof of purchase or ask them to help you with the proof of purchase if you do not have.
Reseller did not help you with the serial number, have the proof of purchase handy, go to step 3.
Contact Adobe support and submit the proof of purchase if asked to get the help as there might be chances of getting the help within next 5-6 days once after the proof of purchase is verified from the reseller.
Valid proof of Purchase-

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
