Syncing new computer

Dear sirs
I have been using the vista at my old computer and tried to install the later updated itunes without success and we have been prompted with a visual error message, just liked a lot of people said in the other forum and there is definitely a big error in the the latest itunes.
Anyhow, I have updated the the ios in my ipad 2 using wifi options and the ipad 2 works fine but having problem with Itune sync using the old computer, as I wanted to try backing up the ipad 2 then move over to the Ipad Air. I also have a laptop running on the window 8. My question is can I install the latest itune version on the window 8 (hope it doesn't run into problem), and backup my ipad 2 (upgraded to IOS 7.x) in full. And then using this backup to restore it to the ipad air??
Please help.
Thanks very much.

Yes, you can move to a new computer, but it's not as easy as plugging in and syncing. If you do that, you'll lose the data off your device.

Syncing new computer with ipod

I have a bunch of songs on my ipod from a previous computer. Now that I have a new computer, do I HAVE to erase and sync my ipod? Is there a way I can keep or transfer my songs from my ipod to my new computer so I can just re-add them? I don't want to loose all my songs that I have! Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks.

so if some were not itunes purchases, i would have to basically copy the songs to a cd (from the old computer) and import it to my itunes library? thanks, that was very helpful

IPod and iPad sync new computer

I have the original iPad and a touch. Desktop recently crashed, no backup. When I sync for first time w new computer, can data be transferred to iTunes from pad/pod? Or have I lost everything?

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With the iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purcahses From - the name of your iPad. Repeat the same for your iPod unless the iTunes content on each device that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store is identical.
For iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes store and for photos transferred from your computer, if you have a Mac you can use this 3rd party utility to transfer this content in the opposite direction.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPad are optimized for viewing on your iPad as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced depending on the resolution of the photos on your computer. The resolution will be lost when transferring these photos in the opposite direction which is why this is not supported via the iTunes transfer process. Photos on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with your iTunes library and all other important data. An iDevice is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.

Syncing new computer with old music files with Iphone.

Hello all, recently I got a new computer and transfered all my old music files over and updated my itunes on my new pc. I also de-authorized my old pc and authorized my new pc. However, when I plug in my Iphone into my new computer it doesn't seem to be syncing at all. I've also added a new album to my music files on my new pc and since my iphone isn't syncing, the songs haven't shown up on my phone. I was wondering does anyone have a solution to this? or what I need to do to have my new pc syncing with my iphone?
Thanks.

Can someone help here?

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.

Syncing new computer to Ipod

I just got a new computer because my old one crashed with my old music on it, including music that I no longer have the CDs for. How do I get the music from my Ipod onto my new computer? I also can't seem to get my new music from my computer onto my Ipod.

Forgot my passcode (couldnt sync new computer)

hi i had forgotten my passcode, disabled time getting longer and longer.
couldnt sync wth itune as i had changed a new pc.
how can i solve this problem?

If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Iphone sync new computer

Hello,
I am retiring and my iPhone is synced to a Dell pc at work. At home I have a Mac Book Pro. If I try to sync my phone with the Mac, it will replace the contents of my iPhone with the contents of iTunes.
Can you tell me how to sync my iPhone to the iTunes so the contents of my iPhone replace the contents of the iTunes/
Thanks
Claire

If you have unique contacts and calendar entries on your computer, tehn when you first sync, you should get the option to merge the data.
The pics synced from teh other computer to the iphone will be erased. You need to copy them from the old comptuer to the new one.
Pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your comptuer regularly as with any digital camera.
The music sync is one way - the only exception is itunes purchases: without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
I would copy everything from the old computer to the new one. Do you not have a backup copy of your data from the work computer?

Set up Sync new computer

The scenario: (1) I had Firfox sync set up on my old computer and phone. (2) Both the computer and the phone were lost. (3) I have now replaced the computer and want to get my bookmarks back.
How do I do that?

Hi Kris,
Did you ever recorded your Recovery Key?
If so, follow this steps:
# On the menu bar, click the Tools menu and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
# Click I Have an Account.
# Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
# Sign in to your Sync account:
* Enter your account email address
* Enter your password
* Enter your Recovery Key
* Then click Continue
# You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Done to complete adding this device to your Sync account.
If you don't have the Recovery Key, I'm sorry but you are out of luck. The data that you send to Mozilla is encrypted by it and it can't be recovered unless you use the key that, for privacy reasons, is never shared with Mozilla.

My new computer won't sync with my phone

I had synced my old computer (Windows 7, Firefox) with my phone (Android, Firefox). Old computer broke, bought new computer (Windows 8), synced new computer, got all old bookmarks back. So far, so good. However, I can't seem to get any new bookmarks added on my phone on this computer or added on this computer on my phone. Syncing apparently happens every day, but not between these two.
How do I fix this?

Are you getting any error?
Did you setup the SYNC without error?
REMOVE your SYNC, restart your mobile and reSYNC it
