Itunes Help Please

[tinkerbell23]

My old laptop is totally broken... Barley turns on at times but all my latest backups are on it for my iphone to itunes...

I have borrowed my dads laptop with his itunes on it..

Even if ive logged into my own account in itunes on HIS laptop .. Will i wind up with all their stuff on my new ipad that im setting up
For first time??

Ideally im trying to juice up the old one to get the songs from my phone to laptop THEN ipad..... I have old ones i downloaded years ago on limewire that are in my itunes library!!!!

OR could i sync my phone to dads laptop and then sync ipad

Help x

Have you set up iCloud previously?

[tinkerbell23]

Im sure i have but i dont really use it i dont think... I always just log in with itunes x

Well, if you have, and you have wifi, you should be able to sync your new ipad with your iTunes via iCloud. Alternatively, take it to your nearest apple store and let them do it (don't go on a weekend, it's hell on earth).

If i use dads laptop..... To sync phone first will all thats on my phone go to his laptop? Music wise? Then i can do ipad?

What i dont want to do is clear all their stuff grrrrr x

If you've bought music from itunes, you can redownload it from there.

If you can get the laptop going, you can backup your itunes library. Apple provide info on how to do that on their site.

What you could also do is backup your non itunes bought music to cd/dvd


I think you can have multiple itunes accounts on one computer. I think the music would go into the same library on the computer - the only thing to watch is that your itunes purchases wont work on someone elses ipad etc. and vice versa unless both devices are authorised under the same itunes account.

maybe your old laptop could do with a good clear out. ccleaner and defrag i dont know how a laptop can be broken other than a smashed inside or screen?
