TS2972 new pc from old pc, itunes transfer, playlists didn't synch

does doing all of this bring over your old playlists? I already moved my old computer data to new computer. my issue is that my playlists didn't transfer. any thoughts?

How was the media transferred?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

    how to transfer my certificate to this new account from old acount

    You don't.  Registration is a one time thing that you do the first time you install an application.  Once registered it does not need to be done again.
    You should see if yoiu can have the activations reset before you try installing on a new machine so that you still have the two activations that are available to you.  If not, you should still have an activation available for use with the new installation.
    To reset activations contact Adobe Support and ask them to reset your activations....  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    To get it working on the new machine you just install and activate using the serial number you should already have.

  • Migrate to new iMac from old iMac and am getting 'incompatible software' message.

    Im trying to migrate to new iMac from old iMac and am getting 'incompatible software' message. I'm not sure what to do- can I revert back to snow leopard from mavericks?

    Hi Mark,
    If you install Mavericks, or in your case migrate from an old computer running Snow Leopard (or an earlier version of Mac OS X) to one using Mavericks, some of your software that was designed to run on older computers may not function in the new OS. See this article -
    OS X: About the incompatible software folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258
    In particular -
    If you see a message indicating that you can't use "this version" of an app, contact the software's vendor or visit their website to see if a later, compatible version of the app is available. If you purchased the software from the Mac App Store, use Software Update to see if an updated version is available there.
    and
    During installation, OS X moves known-incompatible software to a folder named "Incompatible Software" at the top level of the startup drive. If this folder is present on your Mac, see what applications are in it, then check for available updates. To obtain a newer version of an Apple app, check the Mac App Store, or visit the Apple Store website.
    Regarding installing an older operating system on your new iMac, Apple does not support doing this, as described in this article -
    Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac

  • How to transfer ring tones from old PC itunes library to new PC itunes library

    I have upgraded my computer and am in the process of importing the music, apps, audiobooks, etc from my old computer & iTunes library to my new computer.  I am using the HomeShare feature to do the import and it has worked flawlessly for everything except ringtones.  When I access my ringtones in the old library, the "Import" button does NOT appear in the lower right hand corner like it does for music, apps, etc.  So, how then do I transfer my ringtone library from the old iTunes library to the new one???  Thanks for any and all help.

    Unfortunately iTunes won't let you just "Copy" and "Paste" out of the library.  However, you can drag and drop files from your library into a USB drive and then drag and drop them from the USB drive into the new library.
    This is not the best way to do it,
    As dieselvdub noted, just copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Then is is an exact duplicate of the old library (same ratings, artwork, playlists, date added, # plays, etc.), not just a new library with all content

  • I have the old ipod touch without the camera and i received a new one with camera as a gift how do I transfer eveything to new ipod from old?

    I have the old ipod touch(without camera) and I received the new one (with camera) as a gift. How do I transfer everything from old one to new one?

    Make one final USB sync with the old iPod. The sync includes a backup. Then connect the new iPod to the same computer/iTunes library and restore from the backup of the old iPOd. All the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media is not included in the backup that iTunes makes. For how to restore see:

  • Getting iPhone to sync with new mac (from old PC) and add device to iTunes

    I recently brought a macbook pro 8.1.  I was able to transfer my itunes library using the imatch, however I have not been able to add my iphone into my itunes in able to sync.  I still have to connect with my old PC in order to sync my music (that was imported by CD's).  I have searched through the support options from apple support, but there's only information on how to add a NEW device to the itunes library.  When I have tried sync'ing my phone with my new mac itunes, there's a message that pops up stating I cannot sync 1 device with 2 computer itunes libraries.  What I'm getting at...is there anyway I can move my device from my old PC itunes to my new mac itunes before my PC dies??  HELP!

    I believe we're having the same issue. I posted a question yesterday and I've gotten some helpful answers. I will stay posted to your thread as well to see if your issue is resolved. Sorry that I couldn't be of any help. :-)

  • How do I transfer playlists that were synched with my old laptop's iTunes to this new one?

  • I now have itunes for windows 8 on my laptop and I cannot transfer a new song from my library to a playlist on my iPad mini using IOS 8.1.3

    I upgraded to iTunes for windows on my Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop.  I have not done any iTunes manipulations for many months.  I just purchased a new song.  I now have IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad Mini and I tried to move the new song from my library from my purchased file to a playlist.  I can no longer click and drag the song from anything to the playlist.  In addition, when I sync my iPad to my laptop none of my music from the iPad shows up in iTunes on the computer.  Why does Apple continuously mess around with the simple actions of the program.  It is very disheartening to be treated like this as a long time customer.  This has happened so many times that I am getting the feeling that they seem to enjoy screwing up the users ability to use the program

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Check system requirements:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The main issue might be having too little RAM.  Most computers run newer systems more smoothly with more RAM than Apple says is a "minimum" for running that system version
    After installing 10.6.3 run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

    The new system should install on top of the old one.  That said, things have been known to go wrong and it makes sense to do a backup before installing the new system.  In fact you seem to care about your files and things so you need to always have a backup because one day you will wake up and you hard drive will be dead and everrything on it gone.  Buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or something to back up. The other risk is when you install the new iTunes.  It doesn't happen frequently given the millions of users but there are daily posts here from people who for some reason the installation wiped out their whole library.  If you have a backup then there's nothing to worry about. 
    This is well within what many people can do at home.  It's a matter of inserting an optical disc and clicking you way through menus.

  • Cannot transfer new songs from iPhone to iTunes.

    After switching to iCloud my iPhone automatically created a new Playlist and all new songs purchased on my iPhone were downloaded into that new Playlist.  Now that entire Playlist is not syncing into my iTunes on my PC.  I tried "Transfer Purchases", "sync", etc.  What to do?

    Have you installed the iCloud control panel on your computer (assuming that you have a Windows computer)?
    This iCloud functionality may be missing from your pc/iTunes, no?

  • How can I transfer documents to new Airbook from old

    I bought a new Macbook air, so I want to transfer documents from old to new. What is the fast and easy way to do?

    Pondini's tips here can't be beat. One bit of advice.... Use Setup Assistant while you can (on first boot). It is vastly superior to Migration Asstant for transfering everything from an old Mac to a new one.
    Use a Time Machine Backup from the old machine as a source.

    Restored Old Apps But No Contact info, Text, or Photos.
    What did I do Wrong?

    Do you have a backup of your iphone?  if you do, then go to settings -general - reset - erase all contents and settings.  This will wipe your phone clean, then you will have the option to restore from backup  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
