    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • HT1212 My ipod says it is disabled for 42 years . and wont sync to computer to restore

    my ipod touch says it is disabled for 42 years and wont sync to the computer to restore

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • Ipod touch (5th gen) won't sync with computer

    I had to close my itunes on my computer because it was not responding and now my ipod won't sync with my itunes anymore.  It charges normally, but my computer reads the ipod now as a camera instead of an ipod.

    Try:
    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • After upgrade to iTunes 11.1.4 - no longer see/sync with iPhone 4

    recently upgrade iTunes to 11.1.4 - but can no longer sync iPhone 4.  Use Windows 8.   The phone is still viewable on MS files - and can access iPhone directories (ie photos).   Other Apple devises (iPod) have not been affected -- they appear and sync fine

    Hi Lyssa! Many thanks for your answer!
    I had my suspicions about something like that. Apparently Apple wants to have FULL CONTROL of its users lives. I have been using Apple products since the late 80’s and I, so far, still do.
    I find it a bit funny but mostly stupid that Apple has removed the syncing function between iPhone and Mac. So, even if you are a ’loyal’ Apple user, you now have to publish your whole life on iCloud if you want to copy your calendar and contacts to your OWN iPhone from your computer/vice versa, because that is what this is all about. Otherwise, you can’t sync between the iPhone and your computer, even if you are loyal to Apple, using both their laptop and their phone.
    I do not want to do that and therefore I now have decided to leave the Apple platform for good. So, next time I choose a computer, a phone etc, it will not be an Apple product. Goodbye Apple!
    Many thanks again, Lyssa. Have a nice day!

  • I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory and i changed to a new one which was already on another itunes account.  When i upgraded to os5 my library has gone it has synced with the new computer - how do i restore the old ipad information?  ple

    I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory.  I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business)  when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer.  Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad?  really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

    If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync.  Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks my Gmail account is slow to sync with my iPhone

    I'm able to read my GMail message on my iPhone way before I see them on my Mac running the Mail app. It takes a long time sometimes never, for the messages to show up. I updated to the latest version of Mavericks that was suppose to fix this but it didn't help. I'm using the IMAP settings for Gmail.

    I tried deleting the gmail account from the Internet Accounts section in System Preferences and recreated it. That worked! The missing email showed up and I'm in sync with my iPhone again.

  • My iphone froze while syncing an update. I got it running by restoring it but photos gone! I synced with computer and they did not come back.

    my iphone 4 froze while syncing an update.  i got it running by restoring it to original settings.  i synced with computer but pictures wont come back.  How do  I get them?

    When the restore finished, did you "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from backup?"
    When was your last backup?

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.
