  • Restoring Itunes library on new laptop from iphone 4

    Hi, my old laptop broke without having made a backup. I now got a new Acer laptop and would like to transfer my tunes from my iphone onto my new itunes library. How do I do that?
    Also, my phone does not ring when someone calls. It buzzes, the alarm works, it plays music through its speakers but just no ringtone.
    Help please.

    While roaminggnome is correct that you should have taken backups it may not be too late to save some of your media...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Help getting data from iTunes onto my New iPad from iPhone backup

    Hi for 2 days now I have been trying to sync my New iPad2 with my iPhone 3GS, I have followed lots of threads & advice which has been helpful but its not quite happening for me!
    I set up iCloud and iTunes as advised, my iPhone & iPad share the same Apple ID. I backed up my iPhone to iTunes successfully, and restored the iPad via iTunes using the iPhone backup, it went thru the motions OK so I assume completed but I can't see any change.
    Under "Purchases" in my iTunes account it has two tabs one for the iPhone and the other iPad listing all my Apps so clearly it recognises my Apps but the Apps only feature on my iPhone I can't get them onto my iPad. I even deleted some apps and reloaded them since the sync & backups but it still doesn't work. Strangely under my "Account" in iTunes it says only 1 Device is recognosed by iTunes and thats my New iPad, yet it still shows a Tab under Purchases for my iPhone so I don't understand why this is not listed as a recognised Device under the Accounts tab.
    My contacts, calendars etc are in sync between the two devices wihtout any trouble at all.
    I did think it was because some of the apps were downloaded before the sync / backup but some threads lead me to beleive you can sync the content no matter when it was purchased. Under the "Purchases" tab for my iPad I can view my "Apps" which has a "Download all" option so Ibeing at a loss what to do next I proceeded to Download All and it was clearly doing this for some time but still nothing on my iPad.
    I was advised to turn iCloud off whilst I do the backup and restore on iTunes, and then turn it back on after. I have turned my iPad off/on after these updates but still the apps do not transfer across.
    I feel like I am so close now but for some reason something is still not working! Please Help - thankyou.
    (Just to add both devices are using the latest software update & iTunes working with Vista Windows on PC.)

    Connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes sidebar, in Music tab,
    select
         Sync Music,
         Selected Playlists, artists, albums....
         Select the music you want on iPhone.
         Click Sync button (bottom right)
    Here's the iPhone user manual

  • How do I transfer itunes music to my iphone 4 without using the restore from this backup function?

    How do I transfer itunes music to my iphone 4 without using the restore from this backup function?  I cannot use the back up function as have been advised that therer are bugs in it and restoring it back to my phone will bring the bugs with it and phone will be back to apple again as will start playing up again.  But I need the music.  Whn I plug it in laptop and go to itunes icon it gives me 2 options:  Set up as new iphone? OR Restore from backup.
    Do I pick set up as new phone?  I dont know as the guy at the genius bar told me there would be an option asking if i want to sync itunes only...but there isn't.

    Set up as New and then... Re-Sync your Content from iTunes.

  • How to transfer itunes music from old computer to new computer

    I am sure someone has asked this question before but darned if I can find it anywhere...I have a new computer and want to transfer my music (which was loaded from CDs) from my old computer to my new one. I also want to keep my playlists that I spent time setting up. But when I plug my ipod touch into my new computer it simply asks me if I want to wipe all the music on it and replace it with what is in itunes on the new computer ie. nothing.
    Help!

    Quit iTunes and click over to your My Documents folder. Inside this folder, go to My Music. Inside My Music is your iTunes music folder. Now, copy this to a flash drive (if its big enough), an external hard drive, online using backup services like Mozy, or burned onto a CD-R or a DVD. You can even enable Disk Use on your iPod and move it there.
    After you copy the iTunes library, disconnect whatever you used and take it to your new computer.

  • HT1296 I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new one.  But  I can't figure out how!

    I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new iphone.

    Connect the new phone to the computer and iTunes, then sync your library. I'm guessing that you have been syncing the old phone in the past, which would keep your library updated.

  • Will apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me

    will  the apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me?

    Do this:
    Create a separate user account for you. Launch iTunes, then Store>Authorize this Computer. Then:
    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:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(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.

  • I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data.  How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

    I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data.  How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

    Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
    To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
    After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

    Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location?  Ideas?

    Hello there, Underwriter.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Particularly of note for your situation:
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Was able to transfer itunes music from an external drive to a computer, but cannot listen to it without external drive being connected. There are "!" next to the transferred music.

    Was able to transfer itunes music from external drive to computer, but they won't play. There are "!" marks next to all transferred songs and a message reads "Unable to locate songs". How do i get the transferred songs to play without having the external drive connected.

    Select a single song with a broken link, press CTRL+I to Get Info, cancel when asked to locate the track and take a look at the Summary tab. Post back where iTunes is looking for the file. It begins file://localhost
    Where is it really?
    Please post back both paths so that I can make suggestions. Full paths please, exact spellings, you can replace your user name with <User> if needed.
