I no longer have access to the previous machines two of which were reformated the remaining three no longer exists. any suggestions?

Yes, try Help:
If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, and you have five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all your authorized computers at once. You can use this method once a year.
Choose Store > View My Account, and click Deauthorize All. If you don’t see this option, it’s because you don’t have five authorized computers.

    Hello Zuhaib,
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this.  I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Palm Z22 won't sync to new laptop Windows Vista 64 bit

    I just got a new laptop and I am unable to sync my Palm Z22 with windows vista 64 bit.  My computer keeps saying I need a device driver installed but it can't find it.  I did read some of the other threads but am still confused.  My laptop is bluetooth compatible but my palm is not.  Is there a way to make my Palm bluetooth capable?  Or any other way for the device to sync?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Because the Z22 has neither Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (and has no way to add either, because it lacks an expansion card slot), the only way to Hotsync your Z22 to a Vista 64-bit computer is with Infrared (IR) beaming.  That means you will need to buy an IR adapter for your computer.  I don't have direct experience in making it work, but this thread discusses how:

  • I can't get my ipod to sync with new laptop. I have tried to erase and sync, I have authorized new laptop, and still can't get new songs on ipod. Help

    I had to purchase a new laptop, since my old one crased. I downloaded iTunes, and my library came up. I followed the directions given, synced ipod, authorized computer and was given a pop up that stated 25 of my songs could not be transferred.Go to Store, authorize computer and resync. Which I did. When I authorize computer another pop up appears and it states this computer is already authorized. I am getting really frustrated. I have gone to the Apple store several times, had to make appointments as they were to busy to help me then. I show up for appointments to either be told, no appointment appears in their schedule, or they are running over an hour late. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

    Why can't the songs be transferred to the device?  Is it because they are not authorized?  Were these 25 tracks purchased/downloaded with the same account you have used to authorize the PC/new iTunes library?
    Have you seen this article yet?

  • Please help meeee!! Problems with library and syncing on new laptop

    Hi I've bought a new laptop and want to start using itunes on the new one, however:
    Problem 1- Even though I've enabled both devices and have clicked on the home sharing, only the songs I have purchased from itunes show in my library and playlists (I managed to import my playlist titles by copying the file and emailing it to myself but it won't show songs other than those purchased from itunes) How can I get the library to show the 500 odd songs I've painstakingly spent importing to itunes on my old, slow laptop? If I have to do them all again I may just have a breakdown!!!
    Problem 2- Have imported a CD into itunes library using my new laptop but it won't show on my ipod after syncing it. I think I have enough space cos the bottom bar says 3.26 GB free!
    I'm really not very techie and don't use itunes much so there may be something glaringly obvious that I'm doing wrong. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
    Thanks
    Cheryl

    Home Sharing doesn't really matter, if you plan to stop using the old computer for iTunes.
    Apple has this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    You should use the method titled External drive. If you use this method, you can ignore the rest of the document.
    The details are in the document, but to summarize this process (so that you have the "big picture" before reading the details)...
    You are copying your iTunes folder from the old laptop to the external drive, and then copying that iTunes folder from the external drive to the new laptop.  When you copy the iTunes folder to the new laptop, you are replacing the existing iTunes folder.  The next time you start up iTunes on the new laptop, it will use the iTunes folder from the old laptop, and it should look like iTunes running on the old laptop. 
    When you read through the document, it may be easier to understand if you keep my "overview" in mind. Please ask any questions you may have about the "details" in the document.
    NOTE:  If you have new songs on the new laptop that are not in your old laptop's iTunes library, you need to keep the existing iTunes folder on the new laptop.  After you have successfully transfered your iTunes folder from the old laptop to the new laptop, and everything is OK when you run iTunes on the new laptop, THEN add the new songs.  This is in the document. 
    You should put Problem 2 aside until the above is completed.

  • Let iPhone sync with new laptop instead of old computer

    I have a new laptop and copied my entire iTunes from the old computer to my new laptop, so I have exactly the same iTunes on my new laptop. My iPhone syncs with the old computer, but because I have a new laptop I want to sync it with the iTunes in my new laptop. but when I connect my iPhone to the laptop, it just doesn't show my iPhone anywhere or reacts on it at all. It's just like nothing happens when I connect it to the laptop. How can I make it sync with the new laptop?

    You can create a fresh backup on your computer: Disable auto-sync when an ipod/iPhone is connected under preferences>devices in iTunes(under the edit menu if using Windows). Connect your phone, right-click the phone in the left device pane and select "Backup". Before doing so, make sure your computer is authorized: Store>Authorize this Computer.

  • Sync with new laptop

    I had to get a new laptop, how do I sync my iPhone with my new laptop since my old one is not working anymore?

    Plug it in and sync it.
    The current itunes content and pics will be erased and replaced with content from the new computer.
    Also, if you sync to a blank computer, then your contacts and calendars will be erased.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer, then you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.

  • How to sync in new laptop without loosing existing data in ipad 2?

    Hi I just got new laptop and after connecting my existing ipad 2, it is hsowing message taht old library will get erased, if I countine. I do not want to loose all earlier data. How do I do ?

    Copy from this discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    That should do it.

  • Firefox will not sync on new laptop though it does sign in to sync

    I bought a new laptop and downloaded firefox. I then signed in to sync. All seemed ok and the message popped up that it would syn momentarily. It does not sync anything even though it shows as signed in. I have rebooted the browser and pc and tried every thing I can imagine. I even signed the old laptop out of firefox syn just in case that was the issue. Please help.

    It says: Setup Complete
    Your data is now being encrypted and uploaded in the background. You can close this tab and continue using Firefox.
    The old laptop has version 33.1.1 - it is up to date.

  • Apps Won't Sync Onto New Laptop

    Whenever i download an app on to my new laptop it will not sync onto my ipod touch. When i plugged my ipod into my old laptop the sync message said " syncing ipod, step 1 of 4 ", on the new laptop it says " step 1 of 1 ". When i click on the app tab on My ipod i cannot scroll the the various screens, its as if they are not highlighted. The laptop is authorized.
    Would appreciate any help,  thanks.

    Can you transfer your purchases from your ipod to your new computer? Before you connect,make sure autosync is turned off in iTunes/Preferences/Devices.
    You can only sync to one computer at a time. Connecting to another iTunes will erase the content of your device and replace it with the content of the new iTunes library.

  • Restore system to new laptop from Time machine backup???

    Hi I understand from reading a number of discussion that you can do a full system restore to a new HD (on the same laptop). If I upgrade my laptop am I able to 'transfer'/restore the whole system from a Time Machine backup to the new laptop? Meaning all, setting, apps, files etc etc? Is there a way to do this?

    Yes indeed. It's about as close to painless as possible.
    And you can transfer directly from the old Mac (usually best), or Time Machine backups, or a "clone" of it. Your choice.
    Your best bet is to use +Setup Assistant.+ See #19 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.

  • Unable to remote backup my laptop with Time machine

    Hey Folks
    After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have been unable to remotely backup my laptop.
    I can directly backup to the timecapsule.
    Here is the details of my setup. Please note I can run ethernet cables for testing but at the end of the day I need to keep this setup.
    My setup:
    ATT Uverse 2Wire Router with both Network notifications turned on and Wireless network turned off.
         Airport Extreme router is in the DMZ zone of the router.
    Airport ExTreme Router (current version just bought it a month ago)
         This acts as my main wireless router
         Back to my MAC turn on it
         Network port forward turned on
                   TimeCapsuleAccess
                   tcp  5678
                   udp 5678
                   Direct IP to the Time capsule
                   tcp  578
                   udp 578
      {wireless connection to timecapsule}         
    Time Capsule version 1(setup as an wireless extention to the Airport Extreme Router)
         Back to my MAC turn on it
         {usally use a wired connection to timecapsule but also use wireless connection when I walk around my place}
    MacBookPro17" late 2011
         Back To My Mac turned on
         server connection ATT Uverse Modem IP:5678  <<<---- can't create the connection
    I was able to get back to my TimeCapsule with Lion successfully but now something as died.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?? What have I forgotten?
    More details can be given on request.
    Thanks
