  • How do I sync my old ipod to my "new" iTunes library without losing the music I already have loaded onto my iPod?

    Hi, so I got my new computer loaded up with iTunes and I want to be able to move my music from my old iPod to my new iTunes library without losing any of the music I already have placed on the iPod. How would I do this? And please I'm not too savvy with the new iTunes layout and such so if you could make this easy in layman's terms that would be great.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased all songs in the iTunes Store, plug your iPod to your Mac or PC and iTunes will ask you to transfer purchases.
    If you didn't purchase any song or you have non-purchased songs from the iTunes Store, you have to use an application to transfer the songs to iTunes. Here is a list of applications you can use for that > https://discussions.apple.com/message/11319208#11319208

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Moving my iphone to a new(ish) computer without losing anything?

    I've got an old MAcBookPro and a newish MacMini. My Macbook sadly is on its last legs, and I want to move a few things over to the Mini before I bring it to Apple to see if they can resurrect it...
    Specifically, I want to move my iPhone 4 over from the MacBook to the Mini, preferably without losing any of the stuff that's already on the phone, OR losing the stuff that's already on the Mini. All of my music is on the mini, and both computers use the same iTunes account.
    So, can I used Migration Assistant with target disk mode to move just my iPhone files over from laptop to desktop, without wiping out the iTunes folder that's already on the desktop?
    Sorry if this is mildly garbled, I just woke up.

  • What's the Icon mean? it looks like a phone hung up with dots underneath ?

    I'm not sure what it means, but it's been bothering me because it always up there and i have no idea why it's on the left side of the battery and it looks like a phone faced down with 7 dots... 4 dots on the first row then 3 dots underneath that, this is all underneath the phone.

  • TS3988 how to i change my icloud id to my new apple id without losing everything

    how do i change my icloud account name to my new apple id without losing my pics

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to save your photo stream photos, before you change your iCloud account.
    Navigate to the photo stream album and into the photo sheet view (the one with all the thumbnails), click on the small rectangle with the arrow on it, in the top right corner of the screen and then tap each photo you wish to save. Once you have selected all the photos you want to save, tap the save button at the bottom of the screen and choose a new album to save them into.
    Once you have done all this, you can delete your current iCloud account and enter your new one.

  • How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

    Hello
    Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • Syncing iphone to my new macbook pro without losing my contacts/text messages

    hello.
    i just bought a macbook pro and im loving it
    i transfered all my music and pictures from my pc to my mac
    but now i need to sync my iphone to my mac so i dont have to use my pc no more.
    im worried that i will lose all my contacts and my text messages if i sync my iphone to my mac.
    everything is fine except that i dont wanna lose my contacts and my text messages.
    is there any way to figure this out.
    please Help!!

    Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
    If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

  • How do you sync your old library to a new laptop?

    Hi, Im currently using a new laptop and wanted to know how can I sync the library I had in the previous one to the new one. When I connect the ipod to the new one, I get a message that says that my Ipod is connected to a different library or something like that and if I choose to sync the content of my Ipod will be deleted. So I hope anybody can help me to get the content of my ipod on the new computer. Thanks!

    The music sync is one way -computer to ipod.
    You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

  • How do i re-register an iphone to a new apple id without losing the content

    Hi I am a long time user of the iphone 3gs and have two phones registered to my apple account, since buying my wife an I pad2 I have been trying to find out how to seperate the two phones off my account without losing my wifes phone content. Could anyone solve my problem?

    Purchase made with an account remain permanently tied to that account.  You cannot split (or merge) accounts. She will have to re-purchase the items with her own account.  If we're talking a lot of items you might want to have that included in settlement papers.

  • How do i tranfer my old music onto a new itunes library without it erasing?

    I have an Ipod Nano second generation full-up with music - these MP3s are NOT Itunes but downloaded from various sites as well as uploads from CDs.  I lost my original Itunes library when my computer crashed about a year ago so I've had nothing to connect my Ipod to to sync up or anything.  I recently purchased an Iphone 4S and I want to transfer the music from my old Nano to my new Iphone but every time I try to sync up it tells me that my computer isn't authorized and won't upload all my music.  I have "given" authorization by going to "Store, Authorize" but it still doesn't work.  I'm terrified of erasing 5 years of gathered music!!!  Can anyone help me?

    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How can i hook my old ipod to my new lap top without loosing my music

    how can I hook up my iPod touch to my new laptop without loosing my music files

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the device for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
