    If you do not have a back up of the crashed hard drive you can download an app to copy from the iPhone to iTunes on the new hard drive.
    I have used Pod2Mac.  There is also Pod2PC.
    There are numerous choices, some free, some payed.  Do a Google search.

    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.

  • How can I sync my iphone to a new computer without losing music

    I have heaps of music from my old work computer on my phone. I want to sync to my computer at home now. How can I do this without losing the music and other data???

    To sync to a new computer without losing your data follow the steps outlined by Ingo2711 in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3801263?tstart=0.  However, as pointed out in this post, music not purchased from iTunes syncs only one way: computer --> phone.  (Music purchased from iTunes can always be redownloaded for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).  You will have to purchase 3rd party software in order to transfer non-purchased music from your phone to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • How do I sync my iPhone to a new computer without losing all my data?

    I hooked up my iPhone to my new computer and was able to transfer songs etc to my iPhone with no problems, just clicked and dragged like normal. Suddenly it wont let me do so, wont let me drag a song or anything over to my device. I noticed that the "manually manage music and video" check box was unchecked, so I clicked it and got the prompt to restore my iPhone and delete all the data on it. Obviously I clicked cancel. I have read a few other discussions about this issue but am confused and need a dummies approach please as most people seem to be referring to certain things, for example they are worried about losing their applications, or just their music....I want to be able to sync my iPhone to my new computer, without ANYTHING changing. I dont want to lose any music, apps photos, contacts, purchases....anything....
    Please help. Thank you!

    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 her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your 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 her 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 Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(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 her 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 her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

    I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
    When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up:  Calendars, Contacts and Notes.  I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
    When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer!  WHY?!?
    When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
    HELP, please.  I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
    Thanks in advance...

  • How do i sync the iphone with a new computer without losing pictures?

    my laptop was stolen and i've recently replaced it. now when i try to sync my iphone with the new laptop, it gives me messages saying that it will replace what's on the iphone by whatever it currently has on the itunes library. i can't have this happen because i have several photos that were uploaded to my iphone via the old laptop. i'd like to find a way to download the pictures and then place them back in my itunes library for sync in the future. at the very least, just be able to download them off my iphone to back them up. please help!

    There is no way to get pictures off the phone or to move them from folders to the camera roll. The format on the phone is proprietary, so even if you could get them off you couldn't use them. Having said that, search the Internet; there are some apps that can access some files on the iPhone without hacking it. There may be one that can get the photos off. The only other option is to email them to yourself. This will reduce the resolution, however.
    I'm afraid you have pointed out the importance of frequent computer backups.

  • HT201253 How do I sync iPhone with a new computer without losing data?

    I've got a new laptop and have transferred my iTunes library from my old desktop to my new computer.  I want to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes library, but I get the scary message that my phone is synced to my old computer, and all my data will be erased and replaced from the new library.  What exactly will be erased?  Is it just the music and other media files, or will I have to reinstall all my apps and other data as well?  As a precaution, I've backed up my phone to iCloud.  I'd hate to have to completely restore my phone, but if necessary I will.  The instructions for this on the Apple Support site are not clear.  Thanks in advance for any help/reassurance!
    iPhone 4, running iOS 7.1.2

    Thanks!

    You won't lose any of your iPhone settings when syncing your iPhone with a new computer. When doing so, iTunes on the new computer will create a backup of your iPhone where your iPhone settings are stored.
    In addition to an iTunes backup, did you also create a backup of photos that were stored on your old Mac along with contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks?
    Before syncing your iPhone, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your old Mac to your new. Then authorize your new Mac with iTunes with your iTunes account. Did you de-authorize your old Mac with iTunes? You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
    Also before syncing, enter one contact in the Address Book, and one calendar events in iCal on your new Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later after the first sync. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select - especially if you don't have a backup of contact information and calendar events from your old Mac.
    If you use iPhoto for transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone, you need to transfer your iPhoto library from your old Mac to your new or any photos that were transferred from your old Mac to your iPhone will be lost when transferring photos to your iPhone from your new Mac.
