Do I erase pics after I sync iPhone with my computer

No.  If you don't want the photos on your phone any longer, be sure to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 first.  Once imported to your computer you can delete them if you want.

    Can I sync iphone with another computer?

    If you do, you will lose all of your information on the phone. You can only sync to 1 itunes library at a time on 1 computer.

  • Sync iPhone with new computer (w/o access to old computer)

    I'll make this quick!
    Helping a friend of mine sync her iPhone to a new computer. She wants all the info on her iPhone to stay on her iPhone after the sync on the new computer. Problem is, iTunes wants to erase and restore her iPhone (because its a new computer).
    The concern here is not about her music, but actually, she just doesn't want to lose her text messages, contacts, etc. from off the phone. What can I do to get her iPhone syncing with her new computer, while retaining all the info she's got on it?
    Thanks.

    You just have to set your preferences in iTunes.
    You can choose not to delete contacts etc from the iPhone. After you connect the iPhone, click on the iPhone icon that shows up in iTunes, and go to the appropriate tab, and check / uncheck what you want or don't want.
    I don't think text messages get deleted or changed.

    Syncing your iPhone with iTunes on another computer will not erase all data on your iPhone. SMS/MMS will not be touched, photos/video in your iPhone's Camera Roll, the same for notes, email accounts, and iPhone settings.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will happen.
    You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer along with syncing contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications.
    When connecting your iPhone to iTunes on another computer, you will be provided a warning message that your iPhone has been synced with iTunes on another computer. If you don't select to transfer any iTunes content or photos from another computer, no iTunes content and photos that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone. If you select to sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks only with the supported applications on another computer, only this data will be touched on your iPhone.

  • Sync iphone with 2 computer

    I want a tips : how to sync my iphone with 2 computer
    1- laptop
    2- desktop (home)
    Frequently : I sync iphone with my laptop
    My problem : When I want to sync with desktop, Itunes want to erase data & restore with itunes (desktop),
    How do I make this 2 location itunes with a single data.
    TQ & sorry for pour English.

    How do I make this 2 location itunes with a single data.
    You can't, as this has never been a feature of any iPhone. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync or manually manage iTunes content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer. Pick one computer & stick with that computer.

  • Can u use itunes match to sync iphone with new computer

    can you use itunesmatch to sync iphone music and pictures to new computer

    You can use iTunes Match to make your iTunes library available on another computer, to either play or download the music to it.  But iTunes Match doesn't have anything to do with pictures and other data, and it doesn't sync your iPhone with your computer.
    If you are changing computers and have previously syncing your phone with another computer, you should copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527.  That will allow you to sync your phone with your new computer just as you did with your old one.

  • How to restore lost data after accidentally syncing iPhone to new computer?

    So, I've been reading around the forum on the correct stepst to syncing an iPhone to a new computer in order to keep all data. Unfortunately, I only saw these discussions AFTER automatically syncing my iPhone with my new computer. So all my phone contents and settings are gone and only my apps remain, because they're still on my iTunes. My question is: is there are painless way where I can restore all my lost data (e.g. contacts, phone setting, VPNs, camera roll photos, messages, etc.) onto my phone again?

    lucky you have something left. in my case, i lost my first iphone so i bought a new one and im trying to register for online support and syncing it i just lost all the data in the new phone... all i have is this emergency call on the screen...please help....

  • Sync iPhone with new computer after old one died

    Hey,
    My previous laptop (PC) motherboard died and I just recently brought a new laptop. I did not have a external hard drive or anything, so I lost everything from the laptop. Is there anyway that I can sync my iPhone to the new laptop and have everything, including the songs on the new computer? The new laptop is running Windows Vista.
    Thank you in advance

    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be a backup storage device.
    When syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone that was transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first, and the same applies to photos transferred to an iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go go File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. If all 3rd party apps do not transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, you can re-download the apps with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
    Before syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer, which can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 including calendar events, or with the address book used by Windows Mail (Windows Contacts) for contacts only, enter one unique contact in the application on your computer - the same for a calendar event if you have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.

  • Sync iPhone with new computer but keep text messages / photos etc

    Hi,
    So I have an iPhone 4 that I always synced with my Mac Book Pro. I now use a Mac Pro tower computer as my primary machine. I hear you can only sync with one computer at a time (is this true?) well if so, I'd like to start syncing my iphone with the tower for now on, but am concearned cause my friend was in the same predicament and had a bunch of stuff erased. I see online a lot of people say to manually transfer your music to the new computer and sync, but I want to make sure everything else is properally done as well including contacts photos and the text message / call history etc.
    My itunes music is already transfered to the tower. I beleve my "contacts" app is mostly updated on my tower , and even more updated on the phone itself. The photos are only on my iphone, and the text message / call / voicemails are only on the phone ( I dont even think those could be backed up). So - should I just go ahead and try and sync it with the new computer?
    What option would I choose...I don't think I wanna swipe it...and although I have my music on the tower, my contacts / photos are on the phone so what is the best way of properly doing this?
    Thanks

    You just have to set your preferences in iTunes.
    You can choose not to delete contacts etc from the iPhone. After you connect the iPhone, click on the iPhone icon that shows up in iTunes, and go to the appropriate tab, and check / uncheck what you want or don't want.
    I don't think text messages get deleted or changed.

  • How do i sync iphone with new computer when old computer is unavailable?

    I want my iphone content on itunes on a new computer.  My old computer crashed and is unavailable.

    No backup is a big mistake.
    If you sync iphone to a blank computer, then the current content will be erased.
    The iphone is not a backup device.
    The music and pics sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can e-mail the pics to yourself.  They will never be of the original resolution.
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar item, then you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.

  • Keeping Contacts & Apps when syncing iPhone with new computer

    I just got a new netbook with Windows 7 Starter. I would like to transition from using my current work laptop to the netbook as the manager of my iPhone. When I try to sync my iPhone with the new computer it says that my iPhone's library is linked to another computer. It appears that all of my contacts and apps will be erased if I sync these items on the netbook.
    Does anyone know a way that I can keep this information without erasing? I already erased my music content from the iPhone. I foresee a real problem since this netbook doesn't have Outlook and all my contact information is in that format. I also don't want to have my apps all wiped out. Thanks for the help.

    iTunes content can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer, and photos can be transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first.
    No other content is touched or erased when doing so including iPhone contacts especially if you don't select to sync contacts with a supported application on a new computer.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. 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 haven't activated the new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, you should do so before doing this.
    With Windows, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available on the new computer, you will have Windows Contacts available. Before syncing contacts with Windows Contacts, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync with Windows Contacts, which you want to select.
    There is no Outlook format or Apple address book format with contacts. You can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 or with Windows Contacts on a PC, and sync contacts with Apple's address book on a Mac.
    Contact, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers. With two Windows computers, with two Macs, or with a Windows computer and a Mac.
