How can I save my iPhone & Music?!
Hi guys,
My hard drive recently crashed and this meant i had to replace it. I had all my music and the memory backed up to a memory card, but my brother has broken it before i could restore my iPhone. Is there anyway to transfer all the data from my iPhone to my laptop? I dont want to lose the music i have spent years and many hundreds of pounds adding. I also dont want to lose my contacts when i sync, or the pictures and videos i have saved. My laptop OS is Windows 7 btw
Any help? Please! Im desperate
Thankyou

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.

Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac. How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?
Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content. -
How can I save my iphone backup on my hard drive?
Hi Guys!
I would like to save my iphone backup on my hard drive cause I don't have enough space on my computer...
Could you help me? How can I select on itune where I want to save it??
Cheers
AlexHey there alexsansdrap.c,
I see that you want to find where your iTunes backups are saved in order to transfer them to your external hard drive. You can find the location of the save files by using the information in the following article:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204269
Where your backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How can i transfer my iphone music to a new computer?
I have a new work computer and I want to put my iPhone music in my iTunes on that machine, but it won't let me. Why???
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. -
How can I transfer my iphone music to my itunes library?
I got a new laptop and I still have my music on my iphone but since my itunes library is empty I want my music to sync. But I can't figure it out. HELP ME
ps - I have a mac laptop and iphones 4sI posted this before and it got removed.... probably for "advertising" or some crap.... I'm not trying to sell anything, I'm just trying to help. So I'm posting it again in hopes that it makes someone's day
The first thing you need to do (FOR MAC ONLY) is to go here and download this free program (trust me, I'm usually hesitant on downloading stuff, but this program is a life saver!). The download took a total of maybe 10 seconds... user friendly and extremely simple program, as you'll soon find out.
http://www.headlightsoft.com/detune/downloads.html
Once you've successfully installed DeTune, run the program! Once you connect your device, it will automatically show what device is connected. You're ready...
Step One: Connect your iPhone to your laptop (USB) - ignore iTunes if it opens, but CANCEL any sync that may occur (if it doesn't; even better!)
Step Two: In DeTune, it should automatically recognize your device (iPhone) and show all of the data in an iTunes-style display. On the left-hand side, you'll see tabs for Music, Podcasts, etc. (JUST LIKE iTUNES) Step Three: THIS STEP IS NOT NECESSARY, but I highly recommend it to keep all of your stuff organized: Create a new folder on your desktop (title it whatever, I used "iPhone Transfers")
Step Four: In DeTune, select everything you want to transfer. DRAG AND DROP it into the folder you made on your desktop... wait for the copying to complete.
Step Five: Stare at the screen in complete awe and amazement as all of your music is now comfortably sitting on your desktop waiting to be imported into your iTunes music library!
My files were in m4a format, so you may not be able to simply drag and drop. Import them into iTunes via FILE ---> ADD TO LIBRARY, then select the files.... Don't know why you can't just drag and drop, but that works just the same.
I hope this helped! I know I was in the same boat for quite a while, and am VERY pleased with this program. I bet my post disappears within a week
Good luck and Happy New Year!!! -
Greetings!
I am brand new to using a Support Community -- I'm more of a in-person show me learner but...huge snowstorm and I don't want to
to make an appointment at a Genius Bar, driving 15 miles, especially since I asked about this once before and no one there was able to
give me an "official" Apple answer . I do hope I am posting my question (and plea) for help properly.
LOL when I had my first lil' Mac Classic, over 20 years ago, my participation in the techno world was soooo much easier, simpler.
My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for
future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself.
I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and
my MacBook Pro.
Also I often use Notes for quick journaling as well as copy and pasting from other apps, usually inspirational, that I know I am going to want
to read again (always with credit noted ) and these too are taking up space. If I could email myself I would but the apps I'm using don't offer that and each day there is a new commentary -- no way to go "back".
I am currently using OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook -- my disc drive doesn't work and upgrading has to be done at the Apple Store so I don't have iCloud yet.
My iphone 4 is running OS 6.0.1 -- no upgrade until I'm at a wifi connection -- most of the time I'm using my personal hotspot.
I'm a very busy self-employed Nana raising grandchildren and a great-grandchild. I don't have a lot of time and certainly not enough for copying and pasting every text as well as note and emailing it to myself. There has got to be a better, easier way, yes?
I'd be most appreciative of any and all assistance here. Oh, someone mentioned to me I ought to get a "stick" for downloading but were talking
in a language I'm still learning.
Thank you!

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it? ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
