What is the Proper Way to "Sync My Music & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"

What is the Proper Way for Me to "Sync My Music, Pictures & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"?
I had to buy a New Computer since my other one went out, but when I log into ITunes with the New Computer using My Apple ID "Nothing is there"...
None of My Previously Purchased Music or Apps are in My ITunes Media Library; so, I any not sure how to Properly Proceed with Syncing?
Any Help & Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Don

Sounds like something might be wrong there. Years ago I set up the playlists to sync to my iPhone and 'Everything' for my iPod and I've never needed to change or even check it since, ever.
However, how and why are you 'restoring' the iPod? This is not something you should ever need to do. If you restore back to original settings, then I guess that would throw away your own settings, but as I said, there should be no need to keep doing that. Or at all in fact.

I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly. I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications. You should install them.
As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

How do I move DVD digital copies from my iphone to a new computer's itunes account, same Apple ID?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I also have an iphone. My current main itunes is on a PC that I will not use any longer. I have several movies on my iphone which came with DVD's as digital copies, not purchased through itunes store.
In the past, I've lost these kinds of movie digital copies through syncing my phone on a new computer. I don't want this to happen again but I am totally lost since these are not itunes purchases.
How can I sync my iphone on my new mac's itunes and not "erase and replace" all the movies currently on my phone? Or how can I get them onto my Mac's itunes account so when I do sync my iphone, they'll still be there?
Thanks!

It's best to copy from your old computer to your new computer before syncing your phone with your new computer for the first time:

If everything were from the iTunes Store, you could do this:

Since it's not all from the iTunes Store, you should copy your library from your old computer to your new one, as noted above. If that's not possible and you can use only your phone as the file source, you will need to use a third-party utility such as Senuti:

There are many similar utilities. Some work just as well as Senuti and are even free.

Is there a way to transfer music from my ipod to a new computer using itunes WITHOUT access to the old computer??

Is there a way to transfer music already downloaded on my ipod to my new laptop, without having access to the original computer with itunes?? It is on my boyfriend's computer and we broke up - not a good option to ask him to use his computer...now I'm worried I won't get all my music back!

Hi,
I don't know if you can help me any further, but maybe you can direct me somewhere that will??
I took your advice from above and went out and downloaded CopyTrans, paid the $20, downloaded everything - it worked beautifully!! Everything backed up and iTunes had all my songs.
Then I guess I'm a huge idiot or just got overzealous, so I plugged in my iPhone, because I had a few purchases on there and thought I could everything in one place on iTunes. Something happened really BAD and all my songs on iTunes deleted and were replaced with the few that I had on my phone, plugged my iPod back in and somehow I must have clicked on the wrong thing and the iPod synced with the iPhone songs! I feel sick to my stomach!! Is everything gone???
I did a "backup" in CopyTrans, but I have no idea where it was saved on my computer - when I go back into CopyTrans it acts like I need to pay again and doesn't show the backup file anywhere.
Do you have any ideas or know where I can go for help - or is it a lost cause?

Syncing iphone to a new computer running itunes

is this possible? i got my iphone and synced it to the computer i was using then. i have since got a new computer and can't put any new songs on to the iphone from the itunes account even though it's been authorized and is using the same account details. can i make this pc the one that is to be synced regularly as i no longer use the other one?

Iphone can sync to ONE itunes library/computer at a time. If you sync to a new machine then the current iphone's itunes content will be erased.
You cannot use the iphone to transfer music, with the exception of itunes purchased music. In itunes, with iphone attached click File>Transfer Purchases. This will transfer itunes purchased music.
The iphone is NOT a back up device.
You should move the music from your old computer to your new one, then sync iphone.

Transferring iphone data to new computer

My IBM thinkpad crashed and I had to reboot XP. I downloaded itunes but I can't see how to transfer my music, podcasts, e-mail settings, my outlook contacts and calendar back to the computer. Does anyone have a step by step way to do this? I don't want to erase the iphone data. thanks much, kate

You don't maintain a backup?
iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - but this is for content purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store only. Any content - music or video acquired elsewhere that was transferred from iTunes to your iPhone will not be transferred.
With your iPhone connected and available in the iTunes source list, at the menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
The sync process for contact information, calendar events and bookmarks is bidirectional. Be sure to enter at least one contact in Outlook's address book and one calendar event in Outlook's calendar before syncing. Pay attention to any warning messages or prompts provided. If you don't understand or aren't sure about the prompt provided, cancel until you are sure.
You must re-enter your email account setup information in Outlook. The sync process for email account setup information is not bidirectional.
Maintaining a backup of your important data is very important regardless the platform but even more important with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware and spyware concerns and for a system wide crash as you experienced.

Transferring iphone Contacts to a computer used by more than 1 iphone

I have 2 other family members who have iphones, using the same computer, to safekeep their contacts under the windows address book. Is it possible to transfer the contacts to the computer, without the contacts all mixed up with those of my family members?

You need to sync contacts to a supported contact application that supports the creation of groups. That way you can sync whatever groups/group you want to each phone. In your case, I don't believe that Windows Address Book supports the creation of groups, you'd need to use Outlook. If you don't want to do that, use method one, as described here:

Transferring iPhone to a new computer

Hi there,
I'm sure that this is a regularly asked question but I can't seem to find an exact answer for this. Sorry.
My wife and I both have iPhones. They were both synched to my macbook pro however only my contacts were being backed up.
She has now bought her own macbook pro and we want to sync her phone to her computer. I am concerned that she will lose her contacts when the initial sync takes place. How do I move the contacts across?
Thank you for your help.
Lloyd

If you sync her iphone to a blank address book, then it will be erased. Same is true of calendar entries.
Her itunes contents and synced pics will be erased as well.
If you enter a unique contact and calendar entry you should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

HT201272 movie my music from my iphone to my new computer

how do I move my music from my iphone to my new computer using itunes?

Follow the steps given here...
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

My old computer's hard drive was destroyed. How can I get my music, which is now located solely on my ipod classic, into my new computer's itunes?

I have already authorized the new computer using itunes.

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music back to computer. Hope it helps.

If you do not have access to your old PC/Laptop and therefore cannot transfer your iTunes library, this document is very useful https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Using an iPhone with a new computer

I've had my iPhone for almost a year now, and it has been synced with my iMac G5. So, all of my songs, photos, etc. on my iPhone came from this mac.
I just got a MacBook Pro and since I'll be going to college this year I'll be using my MacBook Pro and not my desktop mac. Is there any way for me to transfer the data that's on my iPhone from my mac over to my MacBook Pro? Is it as simple as saving all of my songs to an external hard drive, importing them onto the MacBook Pro and re-syncing my iPhone to that laptop? If it's this simple then I'll do that, but isn't an iPhone programed to whatever computer you first used it with?
I'm sorry if this is too long or confusing. Basically, I'm not going to be using my desktop mac at college, I'll be using my MacBook Pro, but I still want to use my iPhone (which was originally synced with the desktop mac.) What do I do?
Thank you in advance,
-Karl

You should be able to sync the contacts and calendar data from your iPhone to the new computer. The only music you would be able to transfer from your iPhone to the computer is the purchased music.
To get the music, select "Transfer Purchases from..." at the bottom of the File menu in iTunes.
Alternatively, you can use the migration assistant and connect the MacBook Pro and iMac together using a firewire cable.
This article explains how to do that:

De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
Following quote from Apple Support:
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
