Transferring apps and purchases to new computer

I deleted my itunes on my old computer, thinking that if I signed in to itunes on a new computer, it had all my info, apps and music.  Stupid, I know...  At any rate, now I have downloaded itunes on my new computer and when I go to sync my iphone, it says that its going to erase everything on my iphone.   I have read some forums, but I am still unsure what to do.  Can anyone give me precise instructions?  Please?   Thank you for your time.

  • Transferring ipod and itunes to new computer

    I just got a new computer and downloaded itunes. When I plugged my ipod in, my library showed up but the screen was gray and I couldn't select anything. Any suggestions on how to transfer?

    Well... if you want to take all your music with you... to a new computer, you can enable your iPod to support Disk Use (support files) and then locate the "iTunes Music" folder that has all your music (under My Docs) and just Copy the file, or drag the file onto your iPod then plug your iPod into your new pc, and open the iPod in My Computer and drag the file off your iPod to My Docs again (on your new pc) or wherever you want it stored.

  • I have a Laser Jet 4 plus C2037A and purchased a new computer with Windows 8.

    I have a HP Laser Jet 4 plus   C2037A.  Bought a new notebook with Windows 8.  Had Windows XP.  I do not seem to be able to load it and have not found a driver yet.  Anyone else having this problem?

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

  • I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

    I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

    So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct?  However, they will not sync with the device?  Are these video or audio podcasts?
    How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts?  You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes.  To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right.  Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
    If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

  • HT1296 was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

    was using my daughters itunes account and now have my own. If I "erase and sync" will I lose my data from my purchased games? I have transferred apps and backed up to my computer.

    One computer iTunes can support multiple Apple IDs.  One iPod can also support multiple IDs.  Don't do an "erase and sync."  Simply add your Apple ID to the computer's iTunes and to the iPod.  The only nuisance is app updating, especially if you do the updates from the computer, rather than from the iPod.

  • Moving to a new computer. How do I move my Apps and Purchased music over?

    Can anyone help me understand what have to do to move my Apps and Purchased music to a new computer? There seem to be lots of articles about it but no single set of steps. I will transfer all my non-iTunes library and rebuild the library, etc. But how do I get the apps and purchases moved over? And how to make sure I don't reset everything and not be able to get it back? I have all my purchased music on the iPod.
    iPod Touch 3.1

    does this also take care of the apps?
    Yes.
    Tell me if I am wrong, but if I set hook up the iPod to a different computer, does it not wipe everything out before setting up the new partnership?
    Confirmation is required before anything is deleted from the iPod in that case. Items are only deleted without warning if the iPod is set to sync automatically with an iTunes library which that content has been deleted from.

  • I transferred my library to my new computer (old one completely dead!) and the music transferred but not my audio books.  They aren't appearing in my purchased history.  Can anyone help?

    I transferred my library to my new computer (old one dead!) and the music transferred to a new library ok, but not my audiobooks.  My purchased history doesn't show any purchasing in this format.  Can anyone help?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you won't be able to redownload them via the Purchased link. Do you have a copy of them on your iPod or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I would like to free up some space on my computer and move my iphoto library to the time capsule and easily access it. Also, would I be able to access them via the TC if I purchased a new computer?

    I am using my TC as an external hard drive, I would like to remove my photos from my computer to free up space. I'm wondering:
    1. Once the photos are moved, how do I access them via the TC, AND will i still be able to print them and see them the way they were set up in my iphoto on the computer?
    2. If I purchase a new computer, will I still be able to access them just as easily?
    3. What is the process to move the photos to the TC?
    I am afraid that if I "erase" them from my computer I will not be able to access them.

    Are you still using iphoto?
    If so you should NOT move the iphoto library to the TC and use it.
    Apple says you will corrupt the library doing this.

    Although mostly about FAT32  it adds network drives.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    Now what I cannot tell you is if the same rules apply to the new photo app. Apple might have fixed the problem.
    For iphoto you should offload the photos to USB drive plugged into your computer.. or any external drive.. the faster the interface the better.
    Apple have explicit instructions for moving the library.

  • When I try and purchase a new app or game, it brings up my old Apple id

    I changed my Apple ID/email address but when I try and purchase a new app or game and then enter my password it brings up my old Apple id and says I havean invalid password
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    If this is on an iOS device then log out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it. If you are using the same account for iCloud then you may need to do similar for that : Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account depending upon the iOS version) and then log back in
    If on your computer's iTunes then try logging via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log bak in.

  • I purchased a calendar app and downloaded to my computer but cannot get it onto my iphone 4

    New to Iphone. Just purchased a calendar app and downloaded to my computer but cannot find how to get it onto my iphone. It is not showing up on the APP store in my phone under purchases.

    Dana -
    You can connect the iPhone to any computer to charge it. Just be careful when doing so if the computer has iTunes installed. iTunes may pop up and ask if you want to sync the phone with the computer, which you won't want to do if the computer isn't yours! 
    Good to hear you got things sorted
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  • Transferring ITunes library and playlists to new computer?

    Hi, have purchased a new computer (Vista) and transferred my wife's ITunes library from the old one (XP) but lost the playlists in the process. I still have the old computer.
    Is there a way to redo this so that I can transfer the playlists to the new computer as well? Really hoping there is a way to save her playlists.
    Thanks for your help!

    See if my reply in this thread makes anything clearer. Ideally you just copy the whole iTunes folder from one machine to the other. If you put the main iTunes library folder into the default location on the new machine, i.e. inside the user's Music folder then fire up iTunes it should work fine.
    It only gets complicated if the library files and media folders were/are not in the standard layout. If you had previously copied just the media folder without the library files then these will need to be copied over and put in the correct relationship with the media folder. If the old library/media folders were in a split layout then normalise things on the old machine as described in my post before oopying across.

  • If I buy Creative Cloud subscription for a year and get a new computer in that year, is it transferable?

    If I buy Creative Cloud subscription for a year and get a new computer in that year, is it transferable?

    You can install on any 2 computer, suppose you have 2 computers already activated with creative cloud, Now if you would like to activate it on a 3rd computer then you have to deactivate from anyone of the previous 2 computer and activate it on the 3rd computer. So totally you can have creative cloud apps in 2 computer.
    You can refer the below link for activation and deactivation help.

    Probably not enough memory on your device. Also, if most of the songs on your library are ripped from cds, you will not be able to transfer those from your device to your computer. Try checking the articles below:
