The best solution is to copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer (or the backup you keep against loss) to the new one. That's how it is set up to be done.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Cannot transfer apps from iPad to new computer

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Air and have been trying to transfer the apps from my iPad 1 to it unsuccessfully. I've been struggling for over a week now and it started off well then stopped at an app, so I deleted it from the ipad, and then after that it would stop at the next app in the list. I've deleted like 11 apps so far from my iPad but it's not helping! I tried to transfer from iPad onto my old laptop (windows) and I realised it's stopping at the same app. I freed up space on the hard disk but still nothing. I've made sure that the itunes is authorised with the correct account and done everything. Rebooted the ipad and the computers.
I can't upgrade to iOS5 untill I have all the apps installed. I'm making the Macbook my main computer and will eventually stop using the other laptop so am transferring everything over. I've done alot of searching on this forum and I haven't found a single solution to this issue. It's very very irritating. Could somebody please help me out here as I'm reaching the end of my tether.

Try this, if you have not already. Connect the pad to the computer. In itunes on the mac, open the file menu on the top, and click on transfer purchases from......
Then on the summary tab for your device, click on back up to this computer.
If you have a bunch of pictures, open iphoto and bring those up while you are at it.
Just to make sure everything is working, do a sync.
Then, start the upgrade process. You need to make sure your itunes version is 10.5, if you have not already done so. Good luck. The process can get frustrating when there are a lot of variables in play, such as wswitching computers.
But once you get it right, the upgrade is fairly painless.

Abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes

How to abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes when sync process? Every time when I sync my iPad Mini (iOS 8.1.3.) to iTunes (Mac OS, 12.0.1) every app is copied to iTunes media on my Mac. How avoid this unnecessary process?

If you only delete the files from your Mac via Finder, but leave them listed in the Apps part of your iTunes library, then they will not be copied back from your iPad when you sync again (unless there is a newer version on it).
If you do have to restore to a backup at any point in the future then to restore to an iTunes backup you will need the apps on your computer (a backup does not contain the actual apps, just their content/settings), and you may not be able to redownload them from the store (e.g. if the developer has removed them). An iCloud backup also doesn't contain your apps, it will redownload what it can from the store.

Sync them via iTunes. All your apps should be backed up in your iTunes Library anyway.

How to transfer files from ipad to new computer

I am trying to find out how to transfer files, (Music, Videos, Ect.) from my iPad to a another computer. I lost all my files on my computer and it won't let me recover my files from my iPad and save them on my new install.

Honestly there is no real way unless these are items you have purchased from iTunes. There is an option to Transfer Purchases from iPad but these are only going to be Apps, Music, Videos, etc. that you purchased and downloaded from the App Store/iTunes (you can also do the same by just opening up iTunes on your computer, going to iTunes Store, then going to Purchases, and downloading your purchases).
If they are files that you haven't purchased through the App Store/iTunes then you won't be able to transfer those back to your computer.

I wanted to transfer apps from ipad to iphone, eg 1password. Unfortunately, following the syncing process, the apps have been transferred but can't get into them and if I can, they don't have the contents in them, they're just the empty app!

Can you advise how I can sync apps from ipad to iphone without losing data.

Data does not sync between devices, so you can't do what you want to accomplish.
If you want to sync 1Password, then install it on both devices and use it's iCloud sync feature.

Transfer music from iPad to new iMac much too slow

I want to transfer my music and videos, but not my apps, from my 128 GB iPad Air to my new iMac/Mavericks.
I tried to do this by
Connecting the iPad to a USB port on the iMac
Initiating "Transfer Purchases" from iTunes
Unfortunately, this is ridiculously slow, it would take hours I estimate. For one think I have about 40 gig of apps and that takes forever to transfer. I thought that iMac supported USB 3?
Is there some reasonably quick way to do this? I can't sit around for 8 hours with my iPad hooked up to my Mac, I need it.

There are a lot of complaints about this. The bottleneck seems to be the iPad Air.
Syncing is slower on iPad Air

Can't transfer apps from iPad 2 to new iPad 3

Hi,
I just got the new iPad and wanted to move everything from my old iPad 2 to the new iPad.
Here's what I did:
1. I backed up my old iPad to iTunes
2. Connected the new iPad and did restore from the backup in item 1
I only get music and other data but NO APPS and their data. I've done it several times so not sure what's going on.
I also start fresh with the new iPad and do the transfer after resetting it (use Erase all contents and settings).
I did this before for my iPhones with no problems so not sure why this is not working.
Your help in appreciated.
Thanks.
AQ

Create the backup in iCloud rather than iTunes. Apps are not stored as part of the backup, but they will automatically be downloaded, and in the same arrangement as you had them on the old iPad, and with all of their data. For some reason, iTunes is not automatically restoring apps, which is why it's best to use iCloud.

Need Help snycing apps from Ipad to new Computer

Need some help.
I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 After I had a virus. So I just installed Itunes and plugged in my Ipad to sync up my Apps since My Ipad is full.
But I been unable to backup my Ipad or transfer purchases to Itunes. If I try to backup my Ipad I get this message
"iTunes could not back up the iPad because the Ipad is disconnected."
If I try to transfer purchases, it looks like it is working as I can see it go through the apps in the top middle bar of itunes. But when I go to my Itunes libary it only shows a couple apps transferred.
Anyway to backup my Ipad on my "new" computer? I dont want to lose all my save files, bookmarks etc.

Tried multiple solutions and keep running into the same messages. I get the message when I try to back up and if I click on transfer purchases it seems like it works as in the top bar in iTunes it seems to go through my apps, it says coping but when I look in my App library they aren't there.
I really don't want to go through and try to download each app again. I have so many it would take forever.
