\"\"<\/a>Want to Sync iPad<\/a> to a new computer? When you get a new computer, it can be a bit of a downer to plug your iPhone<\/a>, iPad or iPod touch into it and be told that you\u2019ll have to erase it and start again, all because it\u2019s synced to a different iTunes library. Don\u2019t despair, because there\u2019s a away to avoid wiping your precious device provided you still have access to the computer you\u2019ve been syncing it to. It can seem a bit fiddly to do, but it\u2019s a lot easier than having to start from scratch with a clean device.<\/p>\n

The secret lies in the fact that your device syncs to a specific iTunes library, not a laptop computer<\/a>. So the trick is to move your library from your old computer to the new one, and your iPad won\u2019t know the difference!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been using the default settings in iTunes (that is, letting it organize your media for you, as opposed to storing it elsewhere on your computer or on an external drive), what we\u2019re going to do here should transfer your actual media files across, too. If you\u2019ve been organizing your files in a different way, you\u2019ll need to be sure to move those separately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You need access to your old and new computers and a way of transferring a large amount of data between them. The fastest would be over a local Ethernet network, bit if the machines aren\u2019t linked, an external hard drive or USB stick will do the job. We\u2019ll show you below how to find out how much data you\u2019re going to need to move.<\/p>\n

Sync Your Device<\/h3>\n

Plug your iPhone, iPad or iPhone touch into your old computer for the last time and open iTunes. Right-click its name under Devices and choose sync. Once that\u2019s done, unplug your device and lay it to one side for now.<\/p>\n

Find The Folder<\/h3>\n

Go to Edit> Preferences (Windows) or iTunes> Preferences (Mac). Click Advanced; we\u2019re interested in where it says \u2018iTunes Media folder location\u2019. The folder we need to copy is called iTunes (not iTunes Media<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Size Matters<\/h3>\n

Open Finder or Windows Explorer and browse to the location of the iTunes folder (in our case, that\u2019s in C:\/Users\/YourFolder, and so on). Right \u2013 click the iTunes folder and choose Get info or properties to find out its size.<\/p>\n

Copy The Folder<\/h3>\n

Armed with the size figure, get hold of a hard drive or USB stick big enough to fit it on. Copy the iTunes folder to it. Once everything\u2019s across, disconnect the storage from your old computer and hook it up the new one.<\/p>\n

Find The iTunes Folder<\/h3>\n

On your new machine, find the location of the iTunes folder as you did in step 2, then close iTunes. If you\u2019ve got any media on this computer already, move the existing iTunes folder elsewhere to avoid overwriting it.<\/p>\n

Open iTunes<\/h3>\n

Now copy the iTunes folder from your storage device into the exact place that we established in step 5. Once it\u2019s copied, open iTunes. All being well, the music and apps from your old computer will be waiting for you.<\/p>\n

Settings Tweak<\/h3>\n

If you stored media elsewhere on your old computer, add it to iTunes on the new one. In Preferences, click Devices and check the box to prevent automatic syncing, ensuring your device doesn\u2019t get wiped when you plug it in.<\/p>\n

Plug in Your Device<\/h3>\n

Now connect your device to the new computer and click the Apps tab. The sync box will be checked, indicating things are working well so far. Don\u2019t sync yet, but right-click the iOS device in the left pane and choose Back-Up.<\/p>\n

Sync<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019d synced media automatically on your old computer, make sure it\u2019s all present under Library on the new one, because when you sync, anything that\u2019s missing will be wiped from your iOS device<\/a>. If it\u2019s all there, sync away!<\/p>\n

Back up Your Computer<\/h3>\n

Now that everything\u2019s transferred to your new computer and it\u2019s syncing with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, it\u2019s a good time to back up the Mac or PC. In Mac OS X, click the Time Machine menu and choose Back Up Now.<\/p>\n

And in Windows\u2026<\/h3>\n

Create System Restore Point by right-clicking Computer, choosing Properties and then clicking System Protection on the left. Make sure Protection\u2019s set to On for your hard drive, then click Create\u2026.to get started.<\/p>\n

Deauthorise Old Machine<\/h3>\n

You can authorise five computers to use your iTunes account, so deauthorising old machines is wise. Open iTunes, click Store> De-authorize This Computer\u2026.., type in your Apple<\/a> ID and password and click Deauthorize.<\/p>\n
