If I activated my iphone 4 using my ex boyfriends itunes and apple ID, and since changed my apple ID, how do I connect to my itunes on my laptop without losing all of my data? it wont connect to the new library!

Back in October my boyfriend and I had gotten iphone 4's together. I was on his plan so I just activated my phone on his itunes and used his appleID. Since then we had broken up and I had gotten a new apple ID and everything worked fine. Until now I have had no need to use Itunes, but I just downloaded it on my moms laptop and tried to connect to it and it tells me I can only be connected to one library and if i want i cant disconnect from the old one and start with this one, but it will delete all my data and pics and videos......and im not happy at all. The whole icloud thing less than pleases me so that is not an option. Is there any way around this????? I will NOT have my phone earased and I cannot continue to use his laptop for itunes. Pretty dumb mac, if ya ask me.

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

  • My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me.  I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
    My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it.  The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
    I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive.  I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
    As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes.  I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
    As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern.  It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store.  I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
    I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
    Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How can I get my ipad out of recovery mode without losing all of my data

    I plugged my ipad into my laptop to charge, it went into recovery mode, I cannot lose my data.  How can I save my data and get out of recovery mode?

    Unplug it from your laptop and try a reset:
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If it goes back into Recovery Mode then unfortunately your data is already lost.
    Restore from your iCloud or iTunes backup.

  • How to fix 3G/VVM/MMS problems in 4.0 WITHOUT losing all of your data

    First off, I can't take credit for this. tekset21 on these forums mentioned trying a restore from DFU instead of straight up and that's when I started experimenting the last few hours.
    I've tried this twice. It worked the same exact same way. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.
    1) Make sure you have a backup to restore to that will work. For me, this was the backup I made just before I upgraded to 4.0 yesterday.
    2) Put your phone into DFU mode. To do this, you basically connect to iTunes, Hold down both the top button and the home button for 10 seconds, then release the top button but keep holding the home button until a window pops up in iTunes saying it's discovered a phone in iTunes in restore mode. If you need more help google "DFU mode" - there are tons of videos.
    3) Restore using the regular restore button. Wait for the iPhone to finish reapplying the 4.0 software and reappear in iTunes
    4) Click set up as a new phone and then continue. I personally sent myself an MMS, verified the 3G data connection was working by using maps, and played around with my voice mail until it asked me for a password and eventually showed me my visual voice mail.
    5) Finally I restored to the backup I made yesterday. Everything was there like a normal restore (kinda).
    NOTE: Whenever I did this the first time it came back from the restore with no SMS icon. I cannot explain this. I could receive a SMS, I could send one. The MMS worked fine too. The icon even showed up in the task drawer- just no icon on the home screen.
    Tried the above 5 steps a second time and said "what the ****" and just rebooted my phone- the SMS icon appeared. Went through all the motions again (third time) and the icon appeared again.
    6) Reboot your phone (if you haven't already).
    Doing all of the above got me my phone to exactly where it was before i updated yesterday. I wish I could test this and restore it with the backup I made right before I started doing this tonight (get my messages from today back) but iTunes does not give me the option of doing so. I don't know why- I can see both backups and their timestamps but iTunes just isn't giving me that option.
    Hope this helps.

    THIS FIX ALSO WORKS FOR THE EXCHANGE SYNCING PROBLEM!!!
    THANKS!!

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks

    Please search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

    My computer was reimaged and iTunes was deleted, now when I try to sync my ipad it says it is synced with another library?  How do I sync with the newly installed iTunes without losing all of my data on my ipad?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • HT4972 How the heck do I stinken update my Ipod without losing ALL OF MY DATA!!!

    Hello, I would like to know how to update my ipod without losing all of my data (apps, music, ect.) could someone tell me please?

    All that is required is to sync your iPod Touch with iTunes. This creates a complete backup of all its content.
    If you read the instructions for updating iOS it cautions you to back up first.

  • I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
    Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
    When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
    Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.

  • How do I sync my ipad to a used laptop without losing all my apps, music and photos stored on my ipad?

    I have had my Ipad 2 for a few years and have stored all my music and photos on it. I recently was given my dad's laptop and would like to use it to store my photos and music now.  How do I sync my Ipad to the laptop without losing all my stuff?

    Hello kactfl
    The first thing is in iTunes; make sure to check the box in Preferences that prevents syncing devices automatically. Then check out the 2nd article, it will get all of your purchased content like apps and music into iTunes. And then the last article will assist with getting the pictures off the iPad onto the computer.

  • I got a new laptop and my iphone won't sync without losing all my saved data

    I got a new laptop as my old one died. My iTunes account says that I can only sync with one authorised device, which is my dead laptop. I was able to back up all my music on to the new one but when I go to sync it says that I will lose my saved data. Does that mean my photos, contacts, text messages etc?

    Your music/movies, etc will only be where you put them.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPod under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.

    - Authorize the computer for the account used on the iPod. Then connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of thos discussed here.
    Best iPod to PC
    - Make a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. The backup will contain all the photos and video that were taken by the iPod that are still on the iPod.
    - Retore the iPod from that backup.
