Back up content from my iPhone.

My hard drive crashed. I do not have any recent back-up at home.
I have a new hard drive and old data could not be retrieved during the repair. I would like to save my iPhone content that is intact (same request for my Ipad content) on my new hard drive (I would like to save evrything including apps, photos, contacts, e-mail, etc.). Is it possible? I do not want to lose everything...
If somebody could tell me if I can do this or if I need to use a third party to back up all the content of my iPhone before sync with new version of iTunes installed? Thanks in advance / Laurent

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I can't erase all data and content from my iPhone 4s. It says iCloud account not verified, when it only asks for my Apple ID to erase all data and content.

It's really been puzzling me, I've never logged in the Apple site on a laptop before - I have been getting the same message 'Unable to verify iCloud account' every time I try and erase all data and content from my iPhone 4s. When I go to iCloud on my laptop and sign in using my Apple ID it signs me in. These are the same log in details I am prompted for when trying to erase all data/content from the phone. If anybody could point me in the direction that would be really appreciated. Thanks

Hi.
Yes, I recently changed my Apple ID password - around 2 weeks ago when I bought the phone.
Does anyone know if you need to do the IOS update to be able to restore all data and content? I have not installed the new update on either of my iPhone 4S's yet.
The phone I am trying to reset was sold to me by a friend and when it was it had already been reset and it was on the language selection screen.

How do I back up music from my iPhone to my mac. It was purchased under an old account that can no longer be accessed.

How do I back up music from my iPhone to my mac?

Hi, susiebroll.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one

Is it possible to stream content from an iPhone directly to AppleTV

Is it possible to stream content from an iPhone directly to AppleTV. I can get content from my computer to the AppleTV but can not get infromation from the iPhone to the AppleTV. The iPhone will control the AppleTV but it only controls the information from the computer to the AppleTV. Is it necessary to have your computer turned on when streaming information from an iPhone to the AppleTV.

Yes, you can stream from an iPhone to ATV using airplay. You need to turn wifi on and make sure both are on the same network. The content needs to be on the phone if it's from your library. Some apps have airplay capability, but not all as each developer has to enable it. Same with websites.

Is there any way to copy content from my iPhone to a brand new Mac with a blank iTunes library?

Bit of background:
This time last week, I had a MacBook Air and a 6 year old desktop PC. Everything I had was on both of them, so they acted as each other's back up. This Sunday evening just gone, my PC finally died a traumatic death, and I can't even get it to boot from Safe Mode. Then on Monday while I was at work, my house was burgled, and my MacBook Air was stolen, amongst many other things. All I have now is my iPhone 4S which was with me at the time. All my music, photos, videos etc are on my iPhone, but I'm very aware that when I eventually get my replacement MacBook from our insurance company (I'm being realistic and accepting that I'll never see my stuff again), as soon as I plug my phone into a blank iTunes library, I'll lose everything that's on there. Obviously I can re-download everything I've purchased from iTunes, though it will take a VERY long time and I still won't have playlists etc, and I can probably either Dropbox or email what photos I have on there, but I have a lot of video clips from over the last few years that aren't on my camera roll - they're in the phone as proper videos, in the video player app, and I can't get Dropbox to view that location, or figure out how to email them. The videos are very important to me and I really don't want to lose them; so much so that I'm thinking of never syncing my iPhone ever again!
Basically, what I'm asking is, how can I copy everything from my iPhone into a blank iTunes library? Is it even possible?
ANY input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated - I really don't want to lose all my content over this, so please please please help if you can!
Thanks in advance

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

How to delete content from old iPhone

Hi. My problem is a bit complex, I would say. I have just bought a new iPhone and sold my old iPhone. When I was about to delete and reset all the stuff on my old, i couldn't because i couldn't remember my password for the restrictions in settings (english is not my primary language, so sorry if some of the words are not completely correct in the context of iPhone). I ended up restoring the old iPhone and leave it as it was when restored (no content and with the itunes logo on the screen) and afterwards gave the new owner the iPhone. But on my mac and new iPhone it is still possible for me to see the icloud tabs on my old iPhone (even though the new owner has restored his iPhone and logged in with his own apple id. After realizing this, he installed the find my iphone app and logged in with my account. This was something I saw on an apple article about resetting your old iPhone. By doing this I could erease my data from his iPhone from my mac. But when he did that, his iPhone didn't appear on my screen, as I thought it would. Now, is there anything, anything at all, I can do to delete my old iPhone from my account? Or do i really have to get my old iPhone back and set it up with my own account, for therefore at reset the iPhone using the find my iPhone app? Please help I hope all this makes just a little sense.
Thanks!

I hope I'm understanding your situation correctly.
Once you've erased the old phone Find My Phone is erased too so that's why you can no longer see it in iCloud. To delete your old phone from your account start iTunes and log into your account. From there you can delete the old phone in Manage Devices.

How do I transfer content from my iphone to my imac

Hi, only recently bought an imac and would like to know how to transfer/sync all my music and pics from my iphone to the imac
thanks in advance

Have you upgraded from an old Mac to the new one, or from a Windows PC?
When you set up the Mac you should have had an opportunity to transfer data from your old computer, including iTunes data.
Alternatively you can back up your iTunes data on your old computer and restore it onto the new one. There are some links on how to do this in an old discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2008294?threadID=2008294
Music you've purchased in iTunes can be transferred under the File menu in iTunes, but not music you've ripped yourself or bought from other sources, e.g. Amazon.
If you just want to get certain files across, I recommend an application called iPhone Explorer. It reveals the file system of your iPhone and you can get content off the phone onto the Mac, then import images into iPhoto and music into iTunes, then sync your phone as normal, telling it what images and music you want.
Hope that helps?

How do I back up photos from my iphone 5 to computer?

I cannot seem to back up my photos from my iphone 5 to my computer. I turn off icloud back up on my phone, hook up to my deskstop...which opens itunes. I sync, but the photos do not back up. If I go to the photos tab in itunes, I see where I can copy photos from my desktop to my phone, but not the other way around. I am sure I am missing something easy and basic. Please advise me! thank you!
