How can i sync my phone songs to the itunes library?

my old desktop is gone and i bought a new laptop, how can i synchronise my phone songs , photos , videos and contacts to my itunes? now my current itunes is empty and all my data is in my iphone.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can I transfer my NANO songs to the iTunes library?

    Could anybody please sum up the question?

    That's typically not a good idea. iTunes is normally set as the repository of songs for the iPod, unless you have limited disk space, I wouldn't delete them from iTunes. If you do, you might want to invest in an external hard drive and store you iTunes music there.

  • How can I sync my iPod classic to another iTunes library

    I need to sync my iPod classic to a new computer shared with my wife how can I sync my music to her library?

    Hello eddie8625,
    I would recommend enabling 'manual mode' on the iPod so that it can be synced to two libraries without affecting the existing content on the device.

  • How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

    Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
    Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

    I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
    Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....

  • How can I sync my ipod touch my old itunes library?

    I had orginially synched my itunes library on my work laptop(macbook pro). Now I have changed jobs I would like to synch my ipod touch onto my home laptop (Dell Windows). However, I have already got an itunes library on my home machine (only ten or so songs). I don't want this library anymore, I want to synch the tunes I have got on my ipod touch. I have some purchased tunes but mostly they are from my own CD collection. I also have loads of apps and photos/videos on my itouch. As well as this I need to upgrade my ipod touch to iOS 5.
    So...I don't think I can transfer my tunes, apps, photos/videos from my ipod touch to my home computer's itunes library and therefore cannot upgrade my ipod touch to iOS5.
    Can anybody help me find a way to transfer my ipod content onto my home laptop? All my content is purchsed from CDs, Appstore, itunes or my own photo video collection.
    Hope someone can help!
    Cheers

  • How can I sync my iphone to a different itunes library without erasing my entire iphone

    I have synched my iphone to two computers. I want to synch one of my computers (because it contains more music files) to my iphone... the catch is I do not want to erase my entire iphone to do this.  I only want to erase my current iphone library for the one stored on my current desktop pc.  I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    iOS devices can only sync with one library at a time.  To sync with a new library, you have to remove the current libraries content.
    An alternative would be to move content to one computer (using an external drive or homesharing), and then sync with the library you choose.

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

    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.
