Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone 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 phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your 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 iPhone 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

You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes ,but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

I was told to uninstall then reinstall itunes because "no apple application support", so i did, now it wont recognise my iphone and says to unistall+install the 64-bit version of itunes so i did, again..and again..still nothing please help me?!
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -

i recently buy an iphone 4s and by default i set it to saudi arabia and i would like to change it to united states since i can't use the apple store of usa any help plzzz
Besides setting the iTunes store to the US, you will also need
a credit card issued in the US with billing address in the US;
you also are supposed to be located in the US when using the
US store, and there are periodic software checks to verify that.
Simply changing the iTunes store to the US iTunes store will
not allow you to make purchases/download free apps without
meeting the other requirements. Do you meet them? -

Hi guys i have just created my new form and it was very easy. however once i convert it to a PDF the editable boxes in the form are blue and i would like to change the colour. does any know if this can be done?
The blue background is the field highlighting that you have the option of turning off. If you don't see the purple bar on top with Highlight Fields toggle button, it should displayed by clicking the top icon (purplish) in the navigation pane on the left

I accidentally synced my iphone 4s to my sisters computer and now my computer won't recognise it and allow me to download music and photos etc. Is tehre some simple settign In need to do to allow my compuetr to recognise my iphone again?
Connect to your computer, start iTunes, right click on your phone in the device list, choose "backup". iTunes will perform a manual backup without syncing your phone.
After that sync your phone, iTunes will erase the content, but you can use the manual backup to restore from afterwards. -
Hi, my name is Cathy Pack and i am in a pickle, i have an i-Mac OS X version10.5.8, 1.25ghz power G4, every thing is fine except for my home screen it is in letterbox forme and i would like to put it in full screen, the screen is long and narrow instead of short and wide, Please HELP, Cathy Pack
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Take the resolution ratios and use a 16x9 ratio to avoid the letterboxing if you have a 17" diagonal display. Take the 4:3 ratios if you have a 15" diagonal screen.

How do I transfer pictures from my iPhone 5s to my new iPad?
One way is via the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter
Another is via an App like Photo Transfer which can transfer photos between the iPhone and iPad via WiFi.

when setting up my icloud account i mistakenly mispelled my login and would like to correct
Hi ken,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I understand that when setting up your iCloud account you accidentally misspelled the login info. The iCloud account username is an Apple ID and there is a terrific article that can show you how to edit that Apple ID and correct it. Be sure to make sure you follow the top section, Before you change your Apple ID, before proceeding to the steps to change it.
