Computer died..how to sync/backup iPhone 4 to another computer

my computer that i had first synced my iPhone to has died. I need to sync and backup my phone because I actually need to go to Apple since my wake/sleep button has stopped responding. It is still under warranty so I'm guessing I'll either get it fixed or get a replacement. However, I do not want to go in there without having everything backed up. How do I sync/back up my phone to a new computer without it erasing anything?

You don't. Iphone will sync itunes content and pics to one computer. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
You need to move everything from your backup copy of your old computer to the new one. Then you can sync the iphone without losing anything, as all of the info will be transferred to the new computer.

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
    Image attached may explain better.

    how do i backup iphone 3g without iTune on a new Mac? iTunes wants to do an update before it can sync, but if i do that it will erase everything on it.

    Don't do what xtremecarbon said.
    Do you have access to your previous iTunes library, maybe in a computer backup?
    If not, you'll need some 3rd party software to get your data off your iPhone... try TouchCopy.

  • How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

    How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
    I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be.  When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
    If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

    I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this):  first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing).  Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars.  Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
    Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • How do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    how do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    If you mean your iCloud Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you are changing accounts (by setting up a new account with a new ID), when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then create the new account, turn on your data syncing and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
    If you change accounts you will be assigned a new iCloud email address.  You will also lose your photo stream.  If you have any photos in your my photo stream album that are not saved to your camera roll that you want to keep, before deleting your orignal account, open the My Photo Steam album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

    Please elaborate - share what?
    Just guessing here...
    Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
    For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
    For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
    For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?

    How to sync an iPhone with iTunes 12?
    i downloaded today iTunes 12 and i wanted now to sync my iPhone with it... but i'm lost. i cannot find my iPhone on iTunes 12. How to sync it?

    OK.  So when you plug it in, what happens?
    When I plug in my iPhone, along the top row of icons, a new one appears in the shape of a phone. If I click on that, I get a sidebar with info on my phone and to the right is information similar to what I'd see in previous versions of iTunes. I have it set up to sync when connected, so the sync starts immediately.
    (Edit...)
    Here's the icon that I get when I plug the phone in:

  • How to sync same iPhone using 2 different iTune libraries...

    I have been trying to figure out how to sync my iPhone 4S to 2 different libraries.
    The reason is that I have one library whichhas all my Apps, Books etc. that I keep on one external drive and the other just music as I take that other external drive to dj. As I get new music every day, I sync this to my iPhone so I can get to hear it when I am out.
    I tried to open up one library to sync my Apps and books, then switch libraries by reopening iTunes just to sync music.
    However it won't allow me as everytime I switch, say I synced the music first, upon opening up the Apps and Books library, it deletes my music (even when I don't have music synced - I am guessing it reads as wiping my music)
    Is there a workaround to this?
    I am using Lion.
    Thanks

    Thanks Carolyn for your advice.
    Was a bit sad to read that I cannot do that, but I still tested it out. To my surprise, I have managed to find out by testing and testing that (thankfully) iTunes does let me sync with one device with 2 libraries.
    As long as the music and books are synced on one library, and apps on the 2nd Library I was able to split the libraries up to two different external drives with their respective iTunes library folders.
    It would have been perfect if I could just split the Music by itself as I didn't want the books on the same drive but I am happy nevertheless.
    The only bad thing is that the syncing was tested on my iPhone and not my iPad which I don't need music... so I had to add dubplicate books in the library for the iPad with just Apps for my iPhone. Now I have to test whether it will sync my bookmarks between devices for the same books.

    does anyone know how to activate siri with a button on a 2011 Chevy Silverado that has blue tooth.  Also I'd like to know how to sync my iphone contacts with this same truck.

    Hold down the mute button on the steering wheel until you hear,"Ready" and then say "Voice". That will bring up Siri.
