How can i get music off my iphone onto my new computer without the music on both having songs deleted?

I have a new computer and have put some music on it before I hooked up my iPhone. So now I have some music on my iPhone that I don't have on my computer and I don't want to 'sync' and lose some of the music on my iPhone.  So I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with getting the music off my iPhone and adding it to my new iTunes??

The syncing of music is not a true sync process - not really a sync at all. It is a transfer process. No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be touched or removed by syncing an iDevice.
Where is your old computer - the one with your iTunes library that was used to sync with your iPhone? Why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.?
If your old computer is still available, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. This will prevent any iTunes content from being removed from your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer.

  • How do I get photos OFF my ipod onto a new computer?

    I can see the photos on the iPod.
    I've tried putting it in dick mode but the photo files don't show up. All my other files seem to be there.
    Putting new photos on the ipod is easy. Getting them off and onto a new computer doesn't seem like it can be done.
    Any ideas?

    I don't have the original pictures because I don't have the original computer. I can't re-put them on the ipod. We're talking 4000 pictures or so.
    Right now I have Image Recall looking at the ipod. It's found 37 pictures so far. I'm hoping it will be able to find the rest. I'm not hopeful.

  • How can I get pics off my iphone 5

    How can I get pics off my iphone 5 & make sure they're saved without a computer. I don't have a laptop or access to one. I have close to 1600 photos and don't want to lose them. How can I save these?

    With the free icloud photostream there is currently a 1000 photo limit. When photo 1001 is added then photo 1 is deleted.
    It has nothing to do with 30 days.

    Thank you for your help.  I am still having trouble.  As you can tell, I am not technologically advanced AT ALL.  My music is all showing up in the library but when I go to file in the top left corner, Sync is greyed out and I cannot select it.  I'm gonna continue to try this.  It's been a long time since I had my 1st ipod and things have changed so much I will probably need to research this stuff.  Thanks again for your help.

  • How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?

    How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?
    I only managed to import synchronized folders (from old computer) to local folders in thunderbird at the new computer. Then I tried to move the messages to the folder of the imap account at the new computer where I temporarily limited the synchronization to one month. When I remove this limit the thunderbird program starts to redownload all the messages again nonetheless.
    Since I have a dual boot system (Windows/Linux, thunderbird is installed twice) and have to pay for every megabyte, this is very annoying.

    Have you considered using a shared profile folder for the dual boot? so the two remain in sync?v It will require a drive both operating systems can access, but most people who dual boot have such. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    otherwise copy the entire profile, not parts of it.

  • HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

    I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

    To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
    ...  The PC she synced with is dead
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
    If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
    All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
    There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

  • My old computer has died, how can i get all my tunes on to my new computer and ipod?

    My old computer died and i can't get access to itunes on it. how can i get itunes on my new computer without wiping my ipod and having to start again from scratch?

    If the computer isn't functioning because of a operating system issue, but the computer itself still works, then it's possible to boot from a operating system on a cd or USB stick and transfer the files.
    If the boot drive physically works (and it hasn't been encrypted), the files can be removed if the computer doesn't work as well. (more on that later as it costs more money)
    For the first option your going to need to create a bootable USB or CD. I'm going to go with the easiest, a 2-4 GB USB thumb drive (nothing else on it of course)
    Visit this page and download the Easy USB Installer for Windows.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    Now from the first menu there you select Ubuntu 10.10 and check the box to download the ISO of Ubuntu Linux. Wait for it to finish.
    Now #2 browse to the ISO you just downloaded.
    Now #3 you select the EXACT drive letter of the USB (look under My Computer/Computer)
    Leave "show all drives" and "persistence" alone. Check "format drive" (be sure the drive letter is correct!)
    Click "Create"
    Once you got that done, stick the USB in the back of the computer (if a tower) and hook up a external USB hard drive. (nothing else on it.)
    Now you need to find the BIO's boot key for your problem computer, DELL it's F2 to enter the BIO's (list at link)
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Navigate around in there and set the USB as the first boot option (or cd if you got a boot cd). Save the option.
    Reboot the computer and it should boot off the USB. "Try Ubuntu/run from USB/CD"  Don't install.
    Once your in Ubuntu, you can easily go to the Places Menu and Select Computer, see all the drives and access your ENTIRE iTunes folder. Transfer this entire folder to the external USB drive.
    Also you can grab your pictures and anyrthing else while your in there.
    Now the second option is potentially destructive, if the computer doesn't work at all mechanically. Disconnect any power from the computer. Then you can remove the internal hard drive, use a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter and plug it right into your new computer just like a external drive. However I would do a malware scan first.
    Lastly if you got your iTunes Folder onto the new computer (replacing the new iTunes folder with the old). You need to open the XML file in a Text program that has "Find and Replace" ability. So you can correctly fix the partial pathnames from the old computer to the new computer.
    This little step preserves all your playlists.
    Once you got your content over, you should File > Backup Library to disk and feed it DVD-R's or use a external drive.
    As you know, the iPod only sync's content one way, to the iPod.  (exception for iTMS bought stuff on the iPod can be synced back into iTunes with the correct account enabled.)  You might need to check iLounge for current third party software that reverses all content form a iPod back into iTunes.
    Finally if this is all above your head, have a professional do it for you. Apple will not re-issue downloads, backing up is your responsibility.
    Hope that helps.

  • If my old computer died and I lost everything including my itunes initial account.  How do I get my itunes account back onto my new computer, or do I have to set up a new itunes account.

    My old computer died completely and I lost everything including my itunes account.  How do I get my old itunes account back onto my new computer.  The old itunes account is still active on my ipad 2.

    An itunes account is just a user name and password.  You can use your account from any computer/device with itunes.
    Do you mean your library ( music/apps/content)?
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to bakcup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/ipad/iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases or you can redownload some purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I reactivate and install Adobe Acrobat on a new computer without the original disk?

    I am moving to a new computer and the Acrobat disk I used to have got lost somewhere in the office environment... so, how do I deactivate Acrobat on my old computer and activate/install it ion my new computer without the original disk?

    If you were using the same serial number then, yes. You are only allowed two installs and they should be on computers used by the licensee (you).
    You would need to deactivate on any additional computers if this is the case.
    Just an FYI, you are in the Adobe Reader forum. If this doesn't work, you'll want to head to the Acrobat forum where you'll find more experienced users.
