2 iPhones need to sync with new computer

I just purchased a new HP computer and downloaded iTunes but I need to know how to sync two iPhones to the new comp without losing all the data off the phones... Also, what is the easiest way to move my library to new computer?

Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data from your old computer that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, folders, etc. You can use the external drive that you use for backup purposes as long as the external drive has adequate storage capacity to store/transfer your entire iTunes library. You also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.

    this iphone contains photos synced with antoher photo library or folder. pohtos and albums on 'my iphone' will be replaced with photos and albums from this computer. photos taken with 'my iphone' will not be affected.
    i click replace photos and itune does it's thing but in the end nothing. theres a folder called 'ipod photo cache' but no photos and the photos on the iphone is left untouch as well.
    My question is how do i changed the sync folder of my old laptop to the folder on my new laptop on my iphone?

    Hello tysonmgr,
    And welcome to Apple Discussion
    I think your option here would be to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new computer. From there, you can restore the iPod via iTunes and then sync all your old and new content to it.
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. Also keep in mind that the articles may be written for Windows XP, so the steps might have to be altered slightly.
    Actually this article here was written for both Windows XP and Vista.

    You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • My iPhone will not sync with new computer... old computer stolen!!

    I have a new 27" iMac and when I try to sync through iTunes it only prompts..'I will lose all data if I sync with current folder'
    Has Apple not thought about the fact if someone has a computer stolen they are unable to transfer old data to the new
    computer? This is frustrating... any help and direction would be great! Thanks in advance.

    Our old computer crashed which had all the kids ipod touch library on it. Now when I try to connect them to new computer it says I need to erase all data, apps, etc. to sync with new computer. It is saying that it can only be connected to one library at a time. Is their anyway around this without having ot erase all their stuff?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

    What if sync with new computer does not work?
    logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes.
    New is Windows7 with 64bit version

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod 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 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 iPod 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

  • Need iPhone to sync with new computer...

    My old iBook G4 has passed away and I need to sync up my iPhone with another older G4 iBook. I've attached the iPhone, however since the phone is "married" to another computer my option is to wipe the iPhone and start over. I'm wondering...is there a way around having to erase my current data on the iPhone and set up the iBook to, from this point on be the computer with which the phone is synced with? I was unable to obtain any information from the deceased iBook....i.e. any prefs, account info etc...
    Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    An iPhone is only "married" to a single computer in regards to iTunes content and photos transferred to your iPhone. An iPhone can be synced with a single iTunes library only.
    If you don't have a backup of your iTunes library and photos transferred to your iPhone from your previous computer, you have a problem.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
    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 the Address Book is empty on this Mac, before syncing contact info enter one contact in the Address Book. Make one up if needed which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info which you want to select. The same applies to iCal and syncing calendar events before syncing calendar events.

  • IPhone 4 won't sync with new computer

    When I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer, music, movies, and apps don't sync to the phone from the computer. I just switched computers and this was the first sync with the new computer. I've tried syncing with this computer multiple times, but the only things still on the phone are contacts, apps from before the switch, and music I've bought within the past few days on the device. I was using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard (pretty sure) and the new computer is a Mac OS X Lion.

    Just checked my iTunes, don't seem to be having this problem. Here is what I can recommend:
    Restart iTunes, it may help
    Restart Computer if 1 fails.
    If you're on Mac, update to latest iTunes (released today)
    Restart iPhone and then iTunes and then plug it in

  • TS4062 how to Wifi Sync with new computer

    My iphone wants to wifi with a computer that no longer exists.  how do I get it to look for a new computer?  I teathered it to my main computer and authorized it.  Still looks for wrong computer.  ***

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with the media from the new computer (i.e. nothing).
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT4059 Backing up iBooks to sync with new computer

    I just purchased a new MacBook pro and need to sync my iPad to it. I have several books with notes and underlining I don't want to lose, not to mention, the organization of the books and PDF files.
    I setup itunes on the new computer by copying over the files and bringing in the library file. That all worked great. When I hookup my iPad, however, it knows it has never synced with this computer so it wants to wipe it out and start over. I'm guessing that means I'll lose all the iBooks stuff, plus the other notes and things I've saved in other apps.
    Can you help me get around this? Thanks!!
