TA47831 Playlists and apps missing on new computer?

I bought a new laptop and restored my songs, movies, etc. in iTunes via external drive.  It looks like everything is back in my iTunes library.  However, I am missing ALL of my playlists and apps.   I'm afraid when I go to sync the iPhone and iPad that everything will be a huge mess and lots of things will be lost on the device.    What should I do?  Any input would be greatly appreciated!

  • Help moving all songs. playlists, and apps to a new computer ?

    so i've finally gotten a new laptop to replace my old dell one and now i am faced with the problem of moving my library to my new computer. my old computer is still in use, however, and so is my old external harddrive. i have bought a new external harddrive to go with my new laptop.
    is there a way that i could copy all my songs into my new harddrive, keep the playlists, playcounts etc. but organise the songs differently on the new harddrive ? because i want to reorganise all my music before putting it into itunes, however i still want the playlists and playcounts to be there. so i guess what i'm trying so ask is if theres a way to completely reorganize my music on the new harddrive, then import that into the itunes on my new computer, complete with playcounts and playlists ?
    also, i own an ipod touch 3G, so how would i move all my apps to the new computer as well ?

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • I had my laptop that my iphone was backed up onto repossesed so now i have a new computer but i dont know how to put my music photos and video and apps on my new computer can somebody help??

    I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//

    Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
    As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
    As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way.  Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed.

  • How do I preserve my iPads and iPhones settings and apps on a new computer?

    I want to wipe my computer and install a fresh version of the lion operating system. The only thing I want preserved are my iTunes library and preferences, and my iPhoto library and preferences. Basically, I want my iPhone and iPad to be able to sync on this new operating system and still have the exact same home screen layouts, app preferences, and music files. I have my iPhone and iPad backing up on iCloud now but I don't know if that backs up app documents too.
    If somebody could enlighten me on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :-)

  • Playlists and apps for newly reformatted computer

    I recently reformatted my Macbook Pro and did a clean install of Leopard 10.5.6. I backed up the machine using Time Machine. iTunes is working and I reimported all of my music and copied the apps folder for my iPhone. I just need to know where the file for my playlists is?
    Also, when I resync my iPhone am I going to lose all of the saved data for my games and everything? I obviously don't want this to happen.
    My contacts, calendar, and email are in sync via mobile me.
    Thanks!

    *I just need to know where the file for my playlists is?*
    Playlists are part of the data set contain in your iTunes Library database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?

  • HT1977 How do I transfer my purchased iTunes apps and media to a new computer?

    I bought a new computer, and I wanted to download iTunes and start using it to manage my library.  Do I have to transfer all purchased apps to the new computer, or will iTunes do that automatically for me when I sign into my account on the new computer?

    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • How do I transfer my apps and music to a new computer

    How do I transfer my apps and music to a new computer?  I have authorized my Computer, but when I connect the ipod, it only comes up with the message box "Erase and sync.", I don't get the option to transfer my music and apps onto the Computer.  How can this be achived?  I really don't want the Computer to wipe my ipod.  Any help much appreciated.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include media like app and music.

  • What is the Proper Way to "Sync My Music & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"

    What is the Proper Way for Me to "Sync My Music, Pictures & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"?
    I had to buy a New Computer since my other one went out, but when I log into ITunes with the New Computer using My Apple ID "Nothing is there"...
    None of My Previously Purchased Music or Apps are in My ITunes Media Library; so, I any not sure how to Properly Proceed with Syncing?
    Any Help & Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!!!
    Thanks,
    Don

    Sounds like something might be wrong there. Years ago I set up the playlists to sync to my iPhone and 'Everything' for my iPod and I've never needed to change or even check it since, ever.
    However, how and why are you 'restoring' the iPod? This is not something you should ever need to do. If you restore back to original settings, then I guess that would throw away your own settings, but as I said, there should be no need to keep doing that. Or at all in fact.

  • HT1420 How do i move all my purchases music,movie and apps to my new pc?

    How do i move all my music,movie and apps to my new pc

    Go through the below link to Redownload your Past iTunes Store Purchases ( In the link it says iTunes 11 for Mac, but it is same for Windows Computer as well)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
    or you can also try this link to show your Purchases in your iTunes Library and the Stream those contents without Downloading if you have a Good Internet speed and want to save Computer's Disk space ( But you cannot play Music when you are not connected to Internet by following this step and not downloading the Songs from Cloud to your Computer)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    And if you do not have access to your Old computer then you will not be able to get the songs which were copied from CDs and downloaded from a different source other then iTunes Store. And also you will lose all your Playlist and other iTunes settings and will have to recreate your Playlist etc.
