I want to replace the music on my iphone 5s with a new itunes library

i couldn't find any answers on the forum, i'm hoping someone can help me... basically, i got a new laptop and instead of wanting to transfer my other itunes library from my old laptop, i decided to start fresh... i spent ages sorting all my new music out and itunes doesn' sync... i want to delete the music from my iphone and replace it with my new itunes library, i've tried pretty much everything, when i plug my iphone in and click sync, it skips through the 4 or 5 stages, the music never updates on my iphone. i'm really confused, i didn't want to click restore just incase i lost absolutely everything, PLEASE HELP
p.s. i already managed the accounts on itunes store and selected this computer, and my iphone, deleting my other laptop (so only this itunes library is active if that makes sense)

  • How to sync music on my iphone across to my new itunes library

    I don't have access to the iTunes library on my old computer as it is broken so I have no way of retrieving my music from there. I have an iPhone which has all of my music on, is there any way of syncing the music on my phone across to my new library? I'm worried that when I connect my phone it will wipe whatever is on there and just replace it with my purchased music from iTunes please help!! Don't want to risk losing all of my old music.

    The iPhone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iPhone.  The exception is iTunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for jut such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

  • Is there any way to transfer music from my iphone 4s to my new itunes library?

  • I want to be able to sync my iPhone 5 to my new iTunes library (new computer) and erase old music. When I connect my iPhone I have no option to "erase and sync."

    So I have the iPhone 5. My old computer crashed so I ended up purchasing a new computer and re-installing and downloading all my old music and new music.
    When I connect my iPhone to my new computer I can sync music but the old music still remains on my iPhone as well as the new music.
    There's a lot on the phone that I don't want anymore but I can't seem to figure out how to erase it.
    I don't want to restore the iPhone so I don't lose all my old messages and so forth.
    I have all of the latest updates for the iPhone and well as iTunes.
    If anyone has any answers to help that would be awesome!
    Thanks.

    Hey there,
    It sounds like you are not getting the prompt to erase and sync your device. This indicates to me that Manual Syncing was enabled on the original iTunes Library, and becuase of that it is also now enabled on your new computer.
    This is changable in the Summary tab of iTunes when you have your device selected, and this article will help you do that:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
    To manually manage the content, follow these instructions:
    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
    Click Apply.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    I have my iphone synced with an itunes library, but that laptop was recently died. completley. I want to sync my phone to my iMac now. how do I transfer all the stuff on my phone to the computer? i really dont want to lose anything!

  • HT4527 I want to transfer the music on my iPhone to my iTunes on my work computer (which already has an existing library). How do I do this?

    I want to transfer the music on my iPhone to my iTunes library on my work computer (which already has an exisitng iTunes library) but I don't know how to do this. I usually just listen to my iPhone plugged in via USB on my work computer but I'm concerned that I'm damaging the battery by having it plugged in for 8 hours a day.
    1. How do I add my iPhone library to the existing one?
    2. Am I damaging my battery by leaving it connected to the computer all day?

    sync them both to the same computer and you should be able to have the music on your iphone through your itunes library.

  • I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD.

    I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD (using a HDD-caddy PATA to SATA) and use that as my OS disk. Is there a speed difference between the ATA connections of the optical drive and the hard drive? Mactracker tells me that the Hard Drive Bus is Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6), but there is no information to the Bus of the optical drive. Is it the same?

    There may be a kit from OWC to replace the optical drive in the old iBook G4 with an SSD. They have similar items for other portable Macs of the era where optical drives still were inside.
    They do have what they call a 'legacy' ATA/IDE SSD series of portable computer drive for use in older type architecture, but I don't see the kit to replace the optical drive with an SSD on the same page... They do offer a live chat on the page, though. So it is possible to ask questions and hope you get matching results...

    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_Legacy_Pro
    I'd considered upgrading my iBook G4 (mid-2005) 12" 1.33GHz computer with an SSD because the original 38GB HDD is rather tight with Leopard OS X 10.5.8 installed and some applications. And it has the max RAM at 1.5GB. Plus it would need a new battery since both batteries from Apple failed early on with low use cycles. I do like the idea of wear-leveling technologies in their Mercury Legacy drives. And some of the external enclosures look durable enough.
    Hopefully they can answer some questions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Well it would have been better to backup your library before wiping your hard drive. Since the horse has bolted however, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • When your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer

    when your computer crashes how do your get the music on your iphone back on your new computer?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

    I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
    I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
    I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
    Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
    Thanks so much!!!!!!

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

  • The music on my iPhone 4 with the new ios7 is not working. There are red  dots next to the selections and I can  not here any music when I touch the  spots. I just downloaded the iOS 7. What went wrong?  Everything else seems to be fine

    The music on my iPhone 4 is not working. There are red dots next to the selections and no sound occurs when they are touched.

    Can you play those songs in iTunes on your computer?
    Make sure they are all part of your iTunes library before you sync and that they were bought with the same AppleID you use on your phone.

  • Why does the music on my iPhone take bigger than in iTunes

    As topic, I'm not really sure why. On my iPhone the music take up 11.3 Gb but in iTunes it is 10.34 Gb.

    I found out that my iTunes Media folder is a few gigs bigger than in iTunes.
    Is it possible to overwrite the iTunes media folder with the music that is in iTunes itself?

  • HT4623 Recently I want to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do it. Don't understand why?

    Recently I wanted to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 following the guidelines closely with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so. I felt disappointed as I am looking forward to installing Apps, WeChat, Whats App, etc. I have bought it 2 years ago. I have read the FAQ, mine is the same as many other complaints as in the Settings-General, no "Software Update" appear but we have follow step by step but failed to do so.
    My friend suggested me to visit Apple Store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I just wonder if this problem can be solved.  Kindly advise.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards/Michelle Gee

    You are following the wrong guidelines. The Software Update option was not introduced until a later version. You need to connect to iTunes to update if you currently have iOS 4 or earlier.
