Changing sync computer with iphone

Have an 'old' iPhone, but just bought a new computer. Transferred all the relevant files to the new computer, and passed the old one off to my wife. I've just bought a new app for my iPhone and tried to connect to the new computer. iTunes doesn't 'see' the iPhone (iPhoto keeps opening up). I've got no music on my iPhone but lots of apps. How do I change the sync computer without losing all the apps on my iPhone?

YOU'LL SEE AN IPHONE ICON MORE THAN LIKELY. CLICK ON IT AND BACK UP YOUR PHONE THEN CLICK RESTORE FROM BACKUP. THAT SHOULD DO IT!

  • 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.

  • Sync outlook with Iphone and windows 7 64 bits

    Hello,
    I have a new computer (HP DV7 3080ef) with windows 7 64 bits, itunes 9.0.2.25 and one iphone 3Gs 3.1.2.
    I succeed to import from XP 32 bits my library on my new pc, including my outlook (2007) file.
    I can synchronize my computer with iphone, thanks to this forum for the help, but only my outlook data are not transferred from pc to iphone and iphone to pc...without any error message and during the sync process, on the header of itunes we can see the sync for calendar, contacts and notes...Other topics are syncronized without prob.
    I am totally lost and would like to continue to use my iphone as I did with my old XP computer.
    thanks for your help
    Herve

    ok I succeed. Maybe it can help somebody. solution is to recreate a new PST file, copy and paste all folders form old to new one (contacts, calendars, notes etc...). Then in outlook open Tools/options/data file, and select the new one as default file.
    sync now works, I can use my precious with my laptop.
    Hope this topic will help.

  • Unable to sync music with iphone 5. can some one pl assist ?

    I have tried everything to sync music with iphone 5 withut success. any ideas ?? what could be the problem ?

    First of all, read my post to OP
         You can only sync music via computer iTunes.
         Watch this iPod video, it's the same for iPhone.
    Your Post
         Not true. You CAN sync music via Wifi.
    Did I mention anything about cable? So what is not true?

    What about that?
    To do that you also first have to connect using a cable to set it up in computer iTunes.

  • ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

    iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

  • How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

    how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

    To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

  • When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas?

    When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas? It has always worked in the past...

    On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
    Tap and hold on the app. 
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

  • Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

    Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

    Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
    Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
    In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
    Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

  • Itunes does not allow me to sync music with iphone?

    Itunes does not allow me to sync music with iphone?

    Have a similar issue.  Have iphone 4 running ios7.  itunes 11.1.3.8.  Probably is intermittent (once every 2 weeks?) and persistent.   Syncs fine for days.  Then all at once playlists are not updated.   For example; over the holidays I added some holiday songs to a playlist.  Today I removed the holiday songs from the playlist in itunes.  Sync the phone.  All messages indicate sync is successful.  Songs still in playlist on the phone!  Continues to happen over multiple syncs.  In the past I have had some songs update but not all songs.  This cycle of attempting syncing continues until other songs on the iphone 'disappear' (they are listed in playlists but don't play!).   Don't know the cause but it is very annoying and unpredictable.   Eventually taking all music off the iphone and then adding it back works but even this take multiple iterations.   These issues seem to have started after upgrading to ios7.  I have workarounds that are very timeconsuming.  I'm interested in solutions to the root cause.  Can anyone help?

  • HT4759 why my calendar does not sync ; computer to iphone

    Why my calendar does not sync ; computer to iphone??

    I thought this was happening to me too recently, until I realized I had a second calendar open on my computer (I use Gmail).  I was entering events into my 'Home' calendar in iCal - which is not set up to anything.  I had to make sure my Gmail calendar was open.  I ended up having to transer a bunch of stuff over from my 'Home' calendar to my Gmail calendar.  If you are using iCal, you can see mutliple calendars open at once and it's not overly obvious to which calendar you are adding events.  I'm now real careful to have my Gmail calendar as being the ONLY calendar that is visible.

  • How do I change which computer my iPhone is synced with?

    I brought my iPhone awhile ago and synced it with my desktop. Now that I just brough a MacBook Pro I want to sync my iPhone with my laptop instead. Everytime I try too it tells me it is synced with my other computer and if I continue I will lose all my music. I don't want to do this - but I don't know how else to swap them over. Can somebody please help me? Thank you

    Hello AmandaNZ
    Syncing between your iPhone and your computer is something that is paired between the two. Once you try to introduce a new computer into the mix it wants to forget what media is synced between them, like music, movies and other purchased content from your iPhone so you would need to go through that process of it removing the purchased content then re-sync it. You can transfer the purchased content and then re sync the data to get it back on there. Alternatively you can manually manage the content as well or make a back up and then restore the back up to your iPhone using the laptop.
