A way to change sync computer for Iphone with out loosing everything?
Need to switch my main computer. Will I loose everything if I do so? Any way to avoid this?
Only iTunes content on your iPhone will or should be erased but won't be erased on your iPhone if you transfer your iTunes library from your existing computer to the new or different computer per the instructions included with this link along with authorizing the new or different computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.

Photos transferred from the existing computer will be erased from your iPhone only if you select Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on the new or different computer.
Photos and/or videos in the Camera Roll are not included or touched turning the iTunes sync process but a good idea to import this data with the computer before syncing as with any other digital camera.
No other data on your iPhone should be touched such as contacts especially if you don't have sync contacts with a supported address book application on your computer which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

Bought new iMac, and want to sync iphone to new system. How do i change setting? Keeps saying waiting to sync with old / now gone system.
You need to move the iTunes library from the old PC to the Mac.

If you have not had a backup of the data before, you need to check this support document you linked here from about removing the passcode. Without a current backup, you are going to lose data.

i have my iphone set up with itunes on one computer, but i recently bought my own computer. How do I set up my iphone with the new itunes account?
Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer. -

When I sync ical on iphone with mac, every entry is multiplied. What are the settings for syncing without repeats?
If your wireless environment is less than ideal, as it is in most inhabited areas, the influence of other wireless networks and devices competing for the same very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum will affect your network's performance. Your own wireless network is a microcosm of that environment.
To mitigate the effects of competing wireless networks, use 5 GHz to the maximum practicable extent. It is comparatively free from interference contributed by other wireless devices and is likely to remain that way for some time. However, it is less tolerant of intervening obstructions and construction materials than the 2.4 GHz spectrum, so it's not a panacea. Every installation is different so you must experiment to determine the optimum configuration.
Place your wireless router (what kind is it?) in a central location, convenient to all the devices that require it. Most of the time a utility or ISP will locate it in some remote corner next to the utility service entrance. That is almost always the worst possible location.
Others find that only a direct wired Ethernet connection between router and devices will maintain uninterrupted access to Airplay.
That is almost certain to result in the best possible AirPlay performance. Short of having everything hard wired (it's not an option for the iPad for example) use an Ethernet connection for all the devices that lend themselves to that method. Your AppleTV is certainly one of them, since its location is not likely to change very often. Your AirPort Express should be another, since your audio systems are likely to stay put as well. Connect them both to your existing router, either directly or through an inexpensive Ethernet switch. Your problems are likely to be solved with just those two connections. -
All backup/sync files for Iphone lost on old PC, anyway to sync with new PC without losing music, photos, contacts and texts?
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iphone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your device got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
Apps can be downloaded again for free, in the US music as well. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
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

I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
Thanks.No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks. -
Does anybody know of a way to get PSX Emulator for iPhone 4s w/ out jailbreak?
Does anybody know of a way to get PSX Emulator for iPhone 4s (iOS 7) w/ out jailbreak? Im trying to relive my childhood on my phone. I have the gameboy emulator and i know the date and time rule. I was just wondering if anybody knew a good place to get a psx emulator without having to jailbreak my device.
Also, does anybody on the off chance know a record-your-screen program for iOS 7 without a jailbreak? That would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advanced,
PMC~I think that the psx emulator is actually in the retroarch emulator.
Haven't tested it as of yet, because the download link isn't working.
I'm using the GBA emulator at the moment too but I'm pretty bored of it, I wanted to play final fantasy :(
