Transfer from one laptop to another
I need to know what program I will need to transfer information and programs from one laptop to another.
On my old Mac Pro I have some PC programs on it that I need to also transfer.
I called Apple to take both into store and let them do this but they would need both laptops for 48 hours I was told and I can't have them tied up that long.
Thanks
Debbie
Migration assistant in your Utilities Folder
or Target disk mode and drag and drop.
If there is a new computer involved use the Set-up Assistant on initial boot.

Can i transfer my backup from one laptop to another?
I have my backup of apps and music stored in one laptop's iTunes account, how can I transfer my backup from one laptop to another?
iTunes downloads are not stored in a backup (that contains documents, files, camera roll photos, app content/settings etc), neither are the contents of the device's Music and Videos apps - instead a restore would look to pick up your music, films, apps etc from your iTunes library.
Your backups are stored under :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
You will need to copy the entire backup directory and copy it into the relevant directory on your other laptop - it should then automatically be picked up by that computer's iTunes and show on the Devices tab in Edit > Preference (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) on it.

How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another
How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another?
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music (or wherever the equivalent is on Windows) then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.) -
Transfer app data from one laptop to another?
Not quite sure if this is the right place for this question but I'll give it a shot...
I've recently got a new laptop and haven't yet plugged my iPod into it yet as I'm wary about losing all my app data. I've tried searching the internet but I haven't really found anything that helps.
So my question - if you transfer apps and stuff from one laptop to another will all the data stay with it (over home sharing or external harddrive) or will it clear all the data once I connect my ipod? Is it even possible to keep the app data?
Please help, I'm desperate to put more music on my iPod and can't use my old laptop to do it as I can't install the latest iTunes due to lack of memory.
Thank you

My itouch is synced to the itunes in my compaq laptop.However,I have bought a new vaio laptop.How to I transfer mt itunes from one laptop to another? Please help me!
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

How do I export or transfer my iTunes from one laptop to another?
I'm switching from one laptop to another (both using WIN 7), and I'm having difficulty. It might be that my iTunes folder is incorrect or in the wrong place. I tried copying my iTunes folder from a folder in My Music. This folder also had a list of folders that seem to be album names. In alphabetical order, one of these folders is named "iTunes". That folder has files like "iTunes Library.itl", several temp files, iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb. It also has folders called "Album artwork" and "iTunes Media". I tried copying over this iTunes folder, but nothing showed up in iTunes. This would be easy if I were allowed to synch from my iPod to iTunes, but I've heard that's not allowed. Any help, especially step-by-step assistance, would be greatly appreciated.
MikeMigrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
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 entireiTunes 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, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. 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 normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
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.

Vendor Open items transfer from one Recon to Another recon
We have wrongly maintained one recon account in Vendor.
Is there any way to trnasfer Vendor Open items transfer from one Recon to Another reconciliation account..Hi,
The best way is to transfer the items from old to new reconciliation account.
Please use the following entries to transfer.
1. Dr Vendor a/c(Old recon a/c)
Cr Vendor clearing a/c
After nullifying the balance in old recon account, here chage recon in the master.
2. Dr Vendor clearing a/c
Cr Vendor a/c(New recon a/c)
F101 only post the adjustment entry at period end and reverse the same entry in next period. So, transferring the items is the best method. If you have volume of data, then create a LSMW for this.
