hi,
if you have an iPod, you can use that. sync the purchased playlist to your Pod and plug it into the other computer. next, find the +transfer purchases+ option by right clicking on the purchased playlist on your iPod.
alternatively, you can back up the playlist to CD(s) and restore the backup on the new computer.

You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
You can also make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

How do I get my iPhone 4 to transfer purchases to a new computer?

I got a new computer (Windows) and I want to switch my iPhoneover so I don't have to use my old computer to sync anymore. I did the "backing up the original library and restoring it onto the new computer" thing, but that apparently didn't copy over all the songs that were in my library because I should have just over 1600, give or take a few that I bought on my phone and never transferred over to the computer, but it only lists 871 songs, and it refuses to transfer purchases from my iPhone saying "you need to authorize this computer." I authorized and deauthorized and reauthorized, but it still says it needs to be authorized. When i click authorize, at this point, it lets me go through authorization...only to tell me "this computer is already authorized."
I'm incredibly frustrated and am at my wits end. I cross-checked the songs that are on my computer to the ones that are on my actual phone and a lot of my absolute favorites aren't on my computer so I don't want to just sync it and lose them all, but I'd like to be able to sync my phone to my computer so that I can update and put some new audiobooks on it because I listen to a lot of audiobooks at my job.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
Plug the iPhone in.
In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's.

Can't transfer purchases to a new computer

Hi -
1. I have a new pc.
2. I have an ipod touch
3. I transferred my old itunes library to my new computer, as I tyransferred and set up all of my old data
4. I also enabled a location for my itunes library in d:\data\Itunes, rather then C:\Users\My_Name <-- win7. This works ok for syncing, etc.
5. My new computer is auithorized
6. When I go to install the new version of IOS, it says your purchases have not been transferred to your computer. I have synced and backedup the ITouch.
7. When I go to trasnfer the purchases, I am told that the computer is not authorized.
I am very confused.
I am also confused about what syncing is, vs., backup, vs., transferring purchases.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for the link to the 'Resolution Page' for this Issue of not being able to Transfer Purchased Items to Itunes from a new pc.
The resolutions on the page were as follows
_Authorize your purchases from an administrator account_
I am administrator, always have been, and always will be
_Authorize using the correct account name_
I only have one Apple account
_Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)_
Win 7 (turned off UAC, rebooted, turned UAC back on, rebooted, authorized computer) - as always, it says my computer is authorized; however, subsequent attempt to transfer purchases results in the same message saying that my computer is not authorized.
___Remove the SC Info folder_
Deleted SC Info folder, and then re-authorized computer, as always it authorized ok, but then refused to transfer purchases
What can I do next?
THank you again. Deb

Recovering Purchased Tracks on New Computer without an iPod

My old computer crashed and is irrecovable. I haven't used my iPod in a long time and therefore it is not up to date. I am looking to recover all my purchased songs from my iTunes account onto my new computer. Is there any way to do this? The songs must be stored on a network, correct?
Thanks in advance.

*The songs must be stored on a network, correct?*
No they are stored on your computer or any backup that you make and the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Please help! My iPod won't transfer purchases to my new computer's library.

"Attempting to copy to the disk 'C:\' failed. An unknown error has occured (-69)"
This came up while my iPod was in the process of transfering my purchased songs/videos. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would appreciate the help!

Point 2 might still be applicable, it explains finding which file is causing the problem.
"Watch the display at the top of the iTunes window while your iPod is being updated. The name of the problematic file should appear in the display right before the error appears"
If the file is corrupted in some way you'll most likely have to put the iPod in Manual mode and delete it unfortunately. Further down in the article is this passage "To prevent future issues, you should delete the unusable files, then restore them from a backup". The problem then might be do you have a back up or not?

You can also re-download most previous purchases (not just songs) from the iTunes Store from the Purchased screen. So, you should be able to get the "one missing purchase" back too. Sign in to iTunes using the Apple ID used to make the purchases. Go to the iTunes Store. (With the new iTunes 12, select the Music category first, then go to the iTunes Store.) Click on Purchased (along right side under QUICK LINKS). From the Purchased screen, you can find and download previous song purchases, at no cost.
You can also re-download purchases from other iTunes categories, such as Movies and TV Shows.

I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

Look at this guide:
Configuration error 16 | CC, CS
I don't know what version you have, but you cannot install a Windows edition on a Mac, you need the Mac edition.
If you have Photoshop CS6, you can swap it for a Mac version, otherwise you would have to purchase a full Mac version ($700) or enroll in the $10 per month Photography program from Adobe to use Photoshop CC.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

I need to transfer Pages documents to new computer.

How do I transfer Pages documents to new computer?

Be more precise: is it is new mac, and want to transfer data? is it another PC running Windows/Linux of someone else or yours?
Note that Pages format is not recognized on other platforms, you must first export it is a rtf or doc or PDF format. If a mac-to-mac transfer, you may copy Pages files just like any other format. You may connect the two macs or mac and pc via wilreless network or via an ethernet cable or, if both macs, via firewire cable, if both have one (not always) or you may use an external drive as an intermediate support for migrating.
If you more precise in offering details about what you need, perhaps we may be more useful. It is also important to know what size? if you have, say, 1 GB of files, a wl connections would suffice, if many GBs, perhaps a wired connection is better, it will be faster. All details are important.
