How can I sync my iPhone to a new (empty) iTunes without replacing everything on my phone with the new library?
I recently had my MacBook stolen. I have an iPhone which had selected playlists, photos, ringtones, and apps from my old iTunes. Now I have purchased a new MacBook Pro and would like to sync my iPhone with my laptop, which has a whole new (empty) iTunes library. However, when I choose "sync" my phone with the new iTunes, it says it will erase all items on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library(which is empty). Can someone please help me?? I really would like to keep these photos and playlists!!
You can transfer items on your iPhone to iPhoto, iTunes, etc. the software merely transfer the data, it does not store it. Very handy software to have around.

How come I lose calendars on my iPhone if I plug my iPhone into my MacBook Air? My iTunes is on my mac, yet I have my iCal set as sync using iCloud and I have assumed that it will transfer between all three. Where am I going wrong? Any help gratefully received.

I've downloaded a lot of free indie music through itunes, and itunes has graciously stored all of my purchases on iCloud. The thing is, I deleted A LOT of that music from my computer, but not from iCloud, and now it's all showing up again. Is there a way I can get rid of the stuff I've deleted, without doing it one by one?
I had a similar problem when I updated to iTunes 11. The problem seems to have been solved by doing the following:
Edit > Preferences > Store. Then unclick "Show iTunes in the Clous purchases". I hope it works! -

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. -
How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?
How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?
They need to be registered under different Apple ID's. The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up. If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset. Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device. You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before. Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things. -

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
