Help required re syncing phone

My laptop broke so got a new one. How do I go about setting up iTunes again to sync my phone? I read somewhere on here that you have to deactivate your phone on old computer and activate on new one but my old laptop is unusable so can't deactivate. This is a new situation for me so really need idiot proof help.
Thanks

You don't need to deactivate the phone on the old computer. Start iTunes on the new one, and connect the phone. You'll get some stuff about checking for activation, then the phone will show in iTunes.
When you check boxes in the various tabs to sync your info and music, you'll be told that this phone is synced with another computer, do you really want to sync with this one instead etc etc. Just say 'yes' and go ahead.
You can have up to 5 machines authorised to play music bought from iTunes, so that's no issue.
And, just in case you're wondering, I've done this myself several times, so I can be happy it works before I drop it on you

  • Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • After downloading 5.0.1 on my Phone I lost my music! Syncing doesn't help.Store on the phone misses the automatic download for music! What is the solution?

    After downloading 5.0.1 to my Phone, I lost my music on the
    phone. Syncing on different ways didn't help. On the phone , in STORE, misses in Automatic downloads: Music!
    Is that part of the problem?  Or is 5.0.1.not corrt?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

    You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
    If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.

  • 160GB Classic Requires Multiple Syncs

    My iPod seems to require multiple syncs, and I haven't the foggiest as to why. Here's the lowdown:
    1) I recently completed a mass re-encoding of my music collection.
    2) I restored my iPod in iTunes (in OS X).
    3) After the restore, it automatically started syncing my library (just shy of 28000 songs).
    4) Syncing completed. I unplugged and went about my day.
    5) After modifying the album art of 2 albums (with about 12 songs each), I plugged my iPod in to ensure it was kept up-to-date.
    6) The iPod (or possibly iTunes) decided to delete 519 of its songs and re-sync them.
    This happens without me modifying any of the songs themselves. Sometimes it decides to just "arbitrarily" delete and re-sync ~3000 songs--this is extremely irritating when I'm just looking to add the one album I've added to my library and I have to leave in 5 minutes for work.
    I don't get why those extra songs required syncing, and this wasn't the first time this happened. I figured the restore that I did would fix the earlier problem.
    I realise that I could just manually manage... but sometimes it's tough keeping track of the modifications when a library is as large as mine.

    Hi Areolex,
    I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company.
    It sounds like your hard drive is dying. Sadly, no software can fix this - the hard drive would require replacing. Are you in the UK? This would usually cost around £100 for a new drive, which my company could do for you. As your iPod is 19 months old, it is out of warranty, and Apple would charge you for any repairs. If you are near an Apple Store, you could always take it and see if a Genius would be willing to repair for you. You need to book an appointment for this.
    In short, the iPod needs a new hard drive, which is a hardware issue.
    I hope that I have helped. Please get back to me if you need any more assistance,
    Mark Sweeney

    Hi, my iPhone 5s was disabled because i forgot my passcode. I was relying to 3 finger prints that I was saving before. I didn't know that passcode is required when the phone restarted. So I follow every single steps to recover my iPhone using i tunes.
    Suddenly an iTunes pop up a message "that I must respond to iTunes on my phone, so that the computer could have access to the phone".
    HOW COULD I RESPOND ON MY PHONE WHEN I WAS DISABLED ALREADY?
    IS THERE ANY BUTTON TO BE PRESS AS CODE COMBINATION THAT STANDS AS MY RESPOND TO ITUNES?
    <Edited by Host>

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • I am getting a message that "my podcasts are not available at this time"  Second day this has happened, i have synced phone many times.  what is going on?

    I am getting a message on my iphone 5 for the last two days saying that " my podcasts are not available at this time"-any ideas of what this could mean?  I have synced phone many times.  Is it itunes?  My carrier?
    thanks

    I just figured out a solution.  I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod.  I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them.  That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal.  Hope this helps someone else!

  • Syncing Phone with Windows 7

    I dowloaded Palm Desktop 6.2 and have a Verizon Palm Treo 755p. Computer is 64 bit Windows 7.  I bought the bluetooth that Palm recommended.  Was able to sync phone with help from palm support however, it caused my system to crash.  Had to reboot Windows 7 and remove bluetooth.  Now that computer is working fine.
    Now I am trying on a 32 bit windows 7 computer.  My understanding is that I can sync using cable to USB.  Is that correct?  Will tlhat work with the Palm Desktop 6.2? Where can I get the cable? Is there a particular name for it? Are there any specific directions about what needs to be downloaded on the computer - any special order?  Any help would be great.
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

    You can sync though USB cable. The cable you are looking for should came with your device. If it did not or you do not have one it is called a hotsync cable. It is recommend that you install Palm Desktop 6.2 for your computer. As long as you install Palm Desktop 6.2, create a "test" username and skip the first hotsync when it ask you to you should be all set.
    Reason I am telling you to create a test username on this computer is that your device already has a username. Skip the first sync then hotsync the device like you would on XP with a cable. Post back if you have any more questions.

    trying to sync phone. getting a message that i dont have write priviledges to icloud. any suggestions?

    To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding.  Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.
