My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:

Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

Can't Transfer my info from Imac( mid-2007) to my macbook pro (mid-2009)

Hello,
i bought a macbook pro today and I'm having trouble transferring my data from my Imac(mid-2007) to my macbook pro. I do not own a firewire cable unless it comes with the computer? I was doing it wirelessly and after i entered the code said it was transsferring data. But after a minute it cam up with this notice,"There was an error connecting to the network, and the information on the other Mac couldn't be accessed." What should i do? Does anyone else have this problem? Did you fix it?
Thanks!

You can make the transfer using an Ethernet cable. From you machine description, I can't tell if you will need a crossover (Ethernet) cable or not. Here is the info you will need to do the transfer via Ethernet.

I bought a new iMac and wonder if I can transfer all contents from the new iMac w/ Lion...to an old Intell MacBook 10.5.8

my Mac Book has 80 G hard drive and right now I only use 30 G on the new iMac. Would love to put the clean installs and Lion on the Mac Book.
Is that possible? Can I use the WiFi or ethernet or firewire to do this if it is possible?

If your new iMac came with Lion installed, then it is illegal to use it on another computer (these terms are contained in the SLA licensing agreement you agreed to). Aside from that, it probably would not work because your Macbook may not even meet the minimum system requirements. If it does, then update it to Snow Leopard ($29) and then buy Lion.

How do I transfer all notes from iPad to my macbook

How could I transfer all notes from iPad 4th generation to my MacBook?

I would do that by transferring my existing notes on my iPad into an iCloud account. You would set up an iCloud notes account on your iPad (Settings > iPad). Make sure all the notes reside in the iCloud account (not an easy task). Then turn on iCloud notes on your MacBook, and they will all mysteriously appear.
Another way would be to wait for iOS 8 and Yosemite. Once these two new operating systems are released, Apple has said you will be able to use AirDrop to move information between iOS and OS X devices.

I can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

i can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

What format is the external HDD in? If it's NTFS (= proprietary Windows), then OS X can read it but not write.
Eventually copy all content from the drive to a safe place, the re-format. FAT32 is the format which both Windows and OS X can read and write.

CAN I TRANSFER MY MUSIC FROM MY IPOD NANO TO MY MACBOOK PRO

can i transfer my music from my ipod nano to my macbook pro.

Yes, you can. If your music collection was purchased from iTunes, you are in a good shape since that music is forever yours under your iTunes account. Therefore, after installing iTunes on your new computer, sign into your account and see all your music under "Purchsed". Then simply download it to be phisically present onto your macbook pro (for free since you've already paid for it).
On the other hand if you happens to not be a sucker to waist money on iTunes and your collection was ripped from the internet (via torrents and such), you can follow this guide to transfer ipod music to mac. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

I've just bought a new mac and I want to transfer the content from my old Macbook to my new. If I have iCloud enabled on both devices, is this simple, or is there a limit to what I can transfer? For example, can I upload word files to iCloud?

iCloud is not the way to do this. You should use Migration Assistant - with this you can transfer your complete User folder from the old Mac including preferences and logins. You will need to connect the two with FireWire or USB depending on the models.
Ideally you should do this before you set up the new Mac - if you create a user account with the same name than the Migration will have to give the migrated user folder a different name. When you first switch on the new Mac it should ask you if you want to transfer your data, and give you instructions.

I can't see any reason that you would need it... Just let it create it's own connection.

I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iphone without losing what is already on my phone. Help!

I want to transfer new content from iTunes to my iPhone without losing what is already on the phone. On the old iTunes I could drag and drop only the items I wanted on the phone. On this new version, all I can figure out to do is sync, which is going to remove the songs that are already on the phone. There has to be another way.

The film would have to be in itunes on your computer.
You would sync it like you do everything else.

How to transfer all songs from ipod to my library?

got a new ipod, but some of my songs are only on old ipod, not in my lib. how to transfer all songs from old ipod to lib, so i can put them on new ipod. both ipods are 4GB mini. thanks for help.

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
