I need to recover iTunes info from old HDD... not just music
My old PC's motherboard is fried and now I have a new(er) one. I have my old HDD connected to my new PC so I have access to all of my old files. I see a lot of info on recovering your music, but what about all of the back ups, pictures, videos, settings, etc? I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad 2 that I don't sync from the cloud, I sync when I connect to my PC. I just downloaded iTunes onto the newer PC (BTW, both PC's have Windows XP SP3, but I will install Win 7 on the new one as soon as I copy all of my data from the old HDD).
So, the new iTunes is empty (for now). I want to bring everything (music, backups, apps, videos, settings, etc.) from my old HDD to the new one. Eveyone refers to the music files and do not address the other items... am I missing something? Also, should I authorize this computer and sign into iTunes before I do anything? Or, should I transefer everything and then sign in to iTunes and authorize? I'm not too "Apple-Savy" so the more you dumb-it-down for me, the better.😝
Thanks!
