Transfering everything from I Touch to new comp.

Using I Tunes can this be done. Music, Pics contacts bookmarks and so on. Or will the I Touch be wiped out ? The I touch was used to back everything up. Fortunately before my wife dropped her laptop !

Think of it like this, you go to Brandxmart and buy a DVD. Cool right? DVDs rock. But... nobody wants to only watch them in the front room all the time, so say you take it in the master bedroom and watch it in there while you kick back.
The DVD doesn't care what player you play it in. And you bought it fair & square.
I reckon that's how it is with iTunes and iPods. It's a good system.

Transferring music from ipod touch to new pc computer

i just got a new computer, and i downloaded itunes, but i cannot move the music from my ipod to the new computer. can any one help?

That is true. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchased music. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You should really move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

Transferring library from ipod touch to new mac

I am getting so aggravated. I am trying to transfer my old library from the ipod touch to my new 27in mac and it is not completely working. I transferred all of the stuff (movies, music, tv shows) from my ipod to the new mac and some of the movies & tv shows that I have WILL NOT WORK nor will they even transfer to my ipod! It keeps telling me that they are not authorized to play on the new mac, and then I go to authorize the computer (which was already done) and it tells me that 'this computer is already authorized' I am at a loss right now, this is about $50 down the drain, and it wont even let me just watch them on the computer because it is saying "not authorized" Can someone please help me? I don't get why some of the movies and stuff work and the others don't...

Help transferring everything from old 3gs to new 4s

My girlfriend has just got a new 4s to replace her old 3gs. Unfortunately, the (windows) desktop we used to sync the 3gs has recently pretty much died. Is there any way to get all the data from the old phone to the new one easily? I've got a macbook I can use to sync the new phone, but not sure I can get everything off the old phone this way...
If I lose the music that's not too much of a problem, but don't want to lose contacts, texts, apps, saves, settings etc.
Thanks

You've got your work cut out for you, but here's what you need to do. First create a separate login on your computer for your GF. Then do the following...DO NOT UPDATE the software on the 3GS or connect the 4S until you've first done the following:
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 her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your GF's computer, her 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 her phone or music ripped on her own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from her 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(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her 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 her phone will be in her 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 her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
Now that you've done the above, you can connect the 4S & follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109
You should be good to go.

Transferring music from Ipod touch to new computer

I bought a new computer, downloaded iTunes 10.63, and want to transfer music to that library from my iPod touch. Every time I try to sync the files to the new computer it tries to erase the music I have on there already. Is it even possible to do this or will I just have to load all the music I had on there and allow iTunes to erase the data in the current library?

The right way to transfer your iTunes Library is from the old computer to the new one. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, no worries, you can simply download it again with the one caveat that the music is still available in the Store.
For music purchased or obtained from sources other than the iTunes Store, you must obtain it from those sources again. Music is intended to go from your computer to the iPod. Going the other way is contrary to the design and requires the assistance of third party utilities.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. The computer I transfered to had a bunch of files on it and I got full ownership of what was already there, so, how do I get to my iTunes library, I do have access as an administrator to the iTunes library (that works just fine) already there and I guess I must have had a newer version ofiTunes on my defunt eMac....

Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

Transfered everything from TM but can't find it?

I transferred everything from my TM backup from my Imac Leopard backup, it transferred to my new Macbook Pro 13", but usually when I do this all of the original icons from the IMac appear on the new computer, and all of the mail, photos, itunes, etc are transferred to their proper place. It changed the user name on the new computer but where and how can I activate the integration of everything that has been transferred to their proper place.
I see files and applications have been transferred, but I don't know how to activate or find the contents of downloads, documents, itunes, iphotos, mail, etc.?
Did I do something wrong. This happened once before some months ago and I mistakenly did an erase and install and then transferred everything during setup assistant.

hello, you might have malicious addons present. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.

How can i transfer everything from old iphone4s to new iphone5?

just bought new iphone5, how do i transfer all the apps/contacts/etc from olf iphone4s?

The easiest way is to back up old phone to icloud and then restore new phone from that old phone backup. Any purchased content such as apps and songs from the itunes and apps stores can be downloaded again.
These directions are for an ipad, but the method is the same.

HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

Transfering EVERYTHING from my old MacBook to my New MacBook

Hey, I was wondering the easiest way to transfer pretty much everything from my old MacBook to my new MacBook. I know there is Migration Assistent, but I don't have a firewire cable is there another cable I could possiably use. I want to get all the files I have, like Microsoft Word Doc's, Excel doc's, ppt shows, and ALL of my itunes music...about 400 songs. Most of my programs are internet downloads so I am not worried about that. My biggest concern is how can I get all of those doc's and stuff easily and quickly across to my new machine.
Thanks!

So I don't suppose all your stuff would fit on a (or a series of) CD, DVD or flash drives? Most of these are cheap like borscht these days and may be the most cost effective. Or, if you had an external HDD and a freebie like iBackup?
All of these options would also offer you the advantage of then having a backup should (when) your new MacBook goes south....
