The computer i normaly sync my ipad on has broken. how do i now sync/update on my new computer without losing my apps, music etc?
The harddrive on my old laptop which my ipad was originally set up on literaly melted so i no longer have access to that.
I bought a new laptop and I need to know how to set my ipad up and update it on this one without losing any apps/music etc??
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your back up copy to put everything on the new computer.

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta
The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB. -

My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?
One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

I no longer have access to my icloud email and don't know the answers to my security questions. Does anyone know how to work around this to reset my icloud ID without losing my info? I haven't backed up in a year because of this.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer -
How can I transfer my iphone to a new computer without losing my apps
Hi,
so here's my story:
I share a computer with another family member (computer 1) and we each have our own iphones with different apple ID's on computer 1. I recently got a new computer though and downloaded itunes onto it (computer 2). I've already started adding music to computer 2 and now I want to move my iphone to computer 2. How can I do that so that I do not lose all my apps? I guess it would be okay to lose the pictures and music because I already have a way to recover those. But I wouldn't mind if anyone has a way to salvage everything. Also, it should be noted that I do not prefer to keep computer 1's library.
Second question: If I were to copy computer 1's library to computer 2, would I be able to keep the existing music from computer 2, or would it just replace the whole library with the copy of computer 1's?
Third question: Computer 2 claims that there is now a backup of my iphone on it, but still won't let me sync the phone. If I were to go ahead and say, "yes, sync the phone and erase the content," would computer 2 allow me to restore the phone or not? (because it's still synced to computer 1)
Thanks in advance everyone!
Sincerely, the dark nighthttps://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I'm wanting to sync my ipod to itunes without losing any info that is currently on it. An internet search has shown differnt programs but they are not free.Can anyone help me?
For the music, you can transfer your music from your old computer to your new computer using an external HHD, once the music are in your new computer, open up itunes and add your music folder to the itunes library, do the same with videos.
For your apps, log into your your itunes account and there you will find your "purchased" apps list. Cilck on purchase to see the list and download them again back to your computer. -
How do you sync your ipod to your itunes without loseing all your music?
Some how my itunes deleted all music (everything except my purchased music and I dont have my other music anywhere else only on my ipod.). Today I tryed to add a new Cd but i cant do that untill i get all my music from my ipod back into itunes by syncing it without losing everything. how do I do that i need to know ASAP
You need to put your ipod in manually manage mode. When you plug in your ipod the box that pops up is gonna state your ipod has been synced with another library do you want to erase and sync or transfer purchases or cancel. Hit cancel. Under devices in theleft hand side of itunes click the name of your ipod. That brings up a summary page, then select under options on that summary page manually manage ipod then click apply. You can then add content by dragging and dropping from itunes library to the name of your device. this allows syncing with multiple computers withuot losing content.

The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?
Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

How do I sync my iPhone 4 to a new "home" (computer/PC) without losing content, ie. music, etc???
PLEASE HELP!!! I've been told that before I try and authorize my laptop as my phones new home, I need to ensure that I have at least one contact and one event in the address book and contact list in Microsoft Outlook.. Not only do I not understand how that is relevant to iTunes, but regardless, I don't even have the programme on my computer.
The main thing that I am worried about is losing my music, as there are thousands of songs I've obtained from the old "home", and anything of any major importance such as phone numbers, messages or photos etc.You need to copy everything from your old comuter, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.
The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
If you sync contacts and calendars to a computer with no contacts and clandars, then they will be erased as well. -
How to sync iPhone 4s to new Mac without losing apps on iPhone 4s.
I previously had an iPhone 4 and 3Gs at the same time, but since then have sold them. Now when I try to sync my apps to iTunes it says that I can't unless I revert my apps to a previous setting that was used for either my iPhone 3gs or iPhone 4 and my other apps will be deleted.. I only use this computer now, but used to use another computer that was a pc. It is quite unstable so it wouldnt' be very easy to get on it grab my old files that I'm sure aren't complete anyways. All I need to do is take everything from this iPhone and back it up on my Macbook Pro. Thanks.
