How can I sync the music on my iphone to a new itunes on a new computer without losing everything?

Just recently I got a new laptop which means a fresh, new itunes. The old computer had all my songs but it's a really slow old computer so i can no longer sync my iphone to it anymore. so i was wondering how could i sync the music i have on my iphone to my new itunes on my laptop? the only option i've seen is syncing the 3 sample songs i have on my itunes to my iphone but then i would lose all my other songs. help.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

    If you want Everything...

  • How do I upload my music from my iPhone 3G to my iTunes account on a computer with Windows 7?

    How do I upload my music from my iPhone 4 to my iTunes account on a computer operting Windows 7 (computer A)?  All of my music is in my iTunes account on another computer operating Windows 7 (computer b), but I can't seem to get my iTunes account on computer a to recognize the music on computer b (it is the same shared iTunes account), nor can I figure out how to get all of that music, which also is on my iPhone, transferred from my iPhone to computer a.

  • HT1719 My itunes doesn't list "devices" above the playlist.  How can I sync the music I have purchased to my new ipod shuffle if it doesn't give me the option?  The shuffle is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens.  Help please!

    My itunes account doesn't list "devices" above the playlist, as the syncing instructions give.  How can I sync the itunes I have purchased & downloaded to my computer, to my ipod shuffle?  The device is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens.  Shouldn't the computer recognize the device? It doesn't.  Please help!

    As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices.  Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop).  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  See if there's any improvement,
    If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power).  An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.

  • How can I sync the music and ringtones I want from my Mac to my iPhone?

    I have an iMac, an iPhone 5s, iTunes 11.1.x, iCloud and iTunes Match. I can't find a combination that will put the music, smart playlists, and ringtones I want on the iPhone. At first iTunes wouldn't sync my ringtones or my smart playlists the iPhone. I finally got the ringtones on but it stubbornly refused to sync a smart playlist of my unrated songs. I turned off iTunes Match and iCloud syncing and managed to get the smart playlist on, but now the ringtones are gone again, including the ones I purchased recently from the ITMS. All I want to do is sync the music, playlists, ringtones, etc. from my master iTunes library on my iMac to my iPhone. The vast majority of my music (7000+ songs) was purchased through iTunes. Some of the ringtones I created from iTunes purchases, some were purchased and downloaded outright. I only care about iCloud as it relates to backing up my contacts, calendar and bookmarks. What combination of turn this on, turn that off and check this box will do this for me? Thanks.

    Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.

  • How can i take the music from my Iphone 3GS and put it in my Itunes Library

    How can I transfer my music on my phone to my Itunes library on the computer? I need to make space on my phone to update and take pictures.

    For iTunes purchased content, without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases. Music ripped on your own requires third party software, like this:

  • How can I get the music on my iphone onto my laptop?

    So, a while back, my father and I switched laptops. Since we did this, I have HIS itunes account on my laptop. He told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it and then log into a new account that I've made. I did so, several times. Every time I open Itunes after reinstalling it, it still loads his music onto it, even after logging into my new account. The thing is, I have an Iphone that has the music that I want on my laptop,  on it. What I have been TRYING to do, is sync the music on the phone, onto Itunes. For some reason, I can't seem to do this. Every time I try to do this it tells me that if I do I'll lose everything on the phone and it will upload the music on the computer onto the phone. I've been trying for SEVERAL months and I just want to get my music onto my new ANDROID phone. This is why I have switched to an adroid, from an iphone.

  • Why can I not sync the music that I didn't purchase on iTunes with my new computer?!

    I upgraded my computer, so I had to reinstall iTunes... I don't understand why I cannot just simply sync the music off of my iPod Touch that I didn't buy with iTunes to my library... The only music that is syncing is the music that I bought through iTunes... WHY CAN"T IT JUST BE SIMPLE?! (I don't have a backup of it..)

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!

  • How can i move the music from my iphone onto my new itunes?

    hi
    ive just got a new laptop and i installed itunes thinking that when i plugged in my iphone it would take the music library from the phone to the laptop so i had an up to date library on my phone and the itunes on my laptop. however, this didnt happen. the itunes acknowledges my iphone as the 'closey 16's iphone' appears in the left hand column and it also charges the battery, so the usb lead is definitely working. Does anyone know how to sort this out? please?!
    thanks

    The iPhone is not a backup storage device and sync is technically one way. You need to get your data from your old machine (or backup...you do make backups right) to your new machine then into iTunes. Then you can sync them to your iPhone (which will clear the iPhone and sync content back again as you can only sync media with one computer).
    One other option is to choose "Transfer Purchased Content" from the menu (in Windows it would be rightclick on your iPhone in iTunes or from File menu...sorry I don't use a Mac).
    However, note, that will ONLY copy over items you bought via iTunes and NOT items you got another way (eg: ripped, from another store, etc) as there is no way to verify you own a legal copy.
