Computer broke... How to sync contacts/apps to new computer?

So my computer broke and i don't know how to get all my important info onto a new computer. I tried syncing but it said it would replace all the info. What do I do? Thanks.

You enter a unique contact/calendar entry ( meaning a contact that is not in the iphone) into whatever program ( on your computer) you sync your contacts (i.e. outlook, address book,etc).
The iphone is designed to be synced with a compatible program on your computer.
Perhaps you should review the manual:

  • How to sync iphone app to new ipod touch

    hi, im new to this. i've been downloading quite a lot of paid apps from iphone 3GS. now i have this new ipod touch. how do i sync the paid apps to my ipod touch?
    thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    you can use the apps as well if you're using the same account and if they don't use or need features that only the iphone has, for example the camera app or video apps.
    Your ipod will be recognized as a separate device and you can set it up as you wish.

    As you've noticed, since the release of Mavericks syncing contacts with a Mac using iTunes is no longer supported. Following is a link to troubleshooting information for iCloud contacts which may have something that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

    Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

    You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • HT1329 how to sync ipod to a new computer when your old computer is dead

    how to sync ipod to a new computer when your old computer is dead

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    Once you've done that, you can sync your iPod to iTunes as normal.

  • How to sync contacts and Address Book with New IPad?

    Hello!
    I'm having no luck syncing Contacts. I've set iCloud settings to sync Contacts, as shown in the iPad manual. I want to sync Contacts on my new iPad with Address Book (5.0.3) on my laptop (10.6.8) and with Address Book on my iMac (10.5.8).
    I've had some success by 'manually' using iTunes on the iMac and the laptop (iTunes>Devices>iPad>Info button>Sync Contacts>All Contacts). But this is not pulling contacts from the iPad to the iMac or laptop; not syncing, just one-way traffic.
    Thanks
    Potty

    You'll have to update to Mac OS X Lion.
    It's in the requirements listed at the bottom of this page -> Apple - iCloud - Your info up to date on all your devices.
