Transfer all software to new system
by installing leopard (10.5) on tiger (10.4), will all files, programs and file-paths be preserved when they are saved as 'previuos system' (installation>option>archive old system) ?
(or is there a way to tranfer the installed software to the new system, 10.5, without having to install them anew?)
(all backups dont work)
thank you, vernedig

Transfer all songs to new computer.
I recently purchased a new notebook and I want to do all my itunes work on it instead of my old desktop. How do I transfer all my songs that are on my ipod and on itunes on my old computer to my new computer? I tried storing all the songs on an external hard drive and then importing them from there. But itunes wants me to import each song individually. Is there a way to transfer all my songs at once? HELP
I'll try to help. Check this link (it is from another post):

IPhone 4 - transfer all content to new phone?
Hello,
My iPhone 4 was accidentally dropped in the sink and was exposed to clean water for a second or two. I immediately fished it out and dried it off with a towel. The phone (screen, buttons) was working, though the sound was no longer working.
I switched the phone off and followed advice to cover the phone in rice to draw out the moisture. It's been covered for 24 hrs, I am waiting another day or two before I dare to switch it on.
I am worried that even though the phone seemed to be working, it might be damaged and suddenly stop working. I want to get a new phone, same kind.
The old one was backed up via iTunes to my laptop.
My question is: if I get a new phone, is there a way I can transfer everything that was backed up from the old phone to iTunes, to the new phone?
I am talking messages, pictures, music, contacts, notes, the works, like a replica.
If yes, how?
Thank you.
Kind regardsSee:

Transfer all itunes to new desktop
We have some of our itunes on a big 'ole desktop, some on two different laptops, and some on an ipad. How can we make a new desktop the place where we will put all of our music, shows, movies, etc. and where we can go to to buy new music etc. and connect new devices as we buy them. Is there a limit to how many devices (ie. ipods & ipads) you can connect to one account?
Thank you! (:There are various methods described on this page which you could use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

Wanna buy a new computer. I wanna transfer all songs to new computer without harddrive or wires.
Im thinking of buying a desktop computer soon. Currently using a laptop. The new desktop pc will be the main itunes. So now i just want to know how to have all my songs in my laptop's itunes to be transfered into the desktop pc's storage and itunes.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I sync up my iphone 4, so that I can transfer all date to new iPhone 5?
ATT told me to plug my old iPhone into the computer and sync it and then connect my new iPhone 5 to transfer data, but I'm obviously not doing it correctly.
Assuming you're using Itunes 11 I'd recommend this as it's generally the easiest way to do it.
If you don't have the side bar, hold down CTRL and press S.
It'll pull up a sidebar on the left side of itunes.
Under devices you should see your device there.
Right click it, and select backup.
Now remember, your new iphone won't see your old iphones backups if your old iphone is on 6.1 and your new one is on 6.0.1/6.0.2
Once the backup is complete. You can plug in your iphone 5, find it in the same device list and select " Restore Backup"
The rest of it is pretty simple/automated. -
Not able to transfer all music to new computer....
My old computer keeps crashing when I try to back up all my music (store & imported) to my iPod at about the halfway mark, so half my music is stuck on my old computer. I am wondering if there is another way to pull ALL of my music into iTunes on my new computer without having to do it through my iPod or an external drive?
Ok, i have a similar question. I just got a new pc; my music etc was stored on an external HD, but now I can put it all on my pc. After a fresh install of itunes, I tried dragging and dropping the itunes music folder from my hard drive into itunes; after it was all done transferring, it still only transfered a third from my itunes folder from the hard drive to the itunes folder on the pc. any suggestions?

Buying new iPhone 5. Can i transfer ALL apps onto new iPhone from iPhone 4?
i currrently have an iphone 4 with apps that ARENT ON THE APP STORE no longer (e.g. flappy bird, cartoon HD etc.)
If i buy an iphone 5 can i somehow transfer these apps over? will the apps above (that are deleted from the app store) be able to use pon the iphone 5?
thanksCopied from my initial post:
So, connect your old phone, iTunes running, right-click it in the left device pane, & select "Transfer Purchases".
You can ignore 03Mach1's post, as NO iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup. -
I'm receiving a new MacBook Pro for the next school year. I really would like to know if the Sims 3 base game, Late Night and Generations plus a bunch of extra custom content would fit on my computer and still run fast/without problems? Also, I really must know how to move every bit of music from iTunes and other music purchases from other music databases onto my new computer.
I hope this is enough information.
Thank you so much!If formatted NTFS, your Mac can read, but not write to the drive.

How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7. I have the old hard drive hooked up as drive f. Can I copy and paste from old drive directory to new drive directory?
You need to copy 2 files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, from the old [[profiles|profile folder]] to the profile folder on the new computer.
