How copy contents of iPhone to a new machine?

My old PC died. I purchased a Mac Pro. Now I want to use my iPhone on the Mac Pro. However, iTunes wants to wipe out my music, apps, and other stuff on my iPhone, in order to use it on the new machine.
How can I copy my iPhone contents to my new machine, without loosing everything?

Not sure you understood my question. I do not use my iPhone as a backup device. With regards to my iTune library located on my dead PC, there is no way for me to transfer contents of my iPhone and music, since the computer is dead.
If I attempt to sync my iPhone to the new machine, it will wipe out the contents of my iPhone. Is there a way to sync or copy the contents of my iPhone onto the new machine without loosing anything?

How do you restore iphone as a new phone?

Hi there,
How do you restore iphone as a new phone? Actually, I know how to restore it but I'm not sure how to get the files back on after... I don't really understand how this will be any different from just restoring from a backup if I'm just going to put the content on later anyways.
Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated!
The reason I'm asking about this is because my battery life on my 4S is soooo bad!

Ah. So, the reason it'll help to use as new device is because typically the app data is not the issue. It's a corrupt system file. So using new device takes away any corrupt system files and almost always solves most any issue. However it does cause the pain of having to add everything back. I've done this in cases where restoring from backup just didn't solve my issue. It ***** but is sometimes needed.

How do I sync iPhone to a new computer

I've just lost my old mac and will upgrade to a new model. How can I sync iPhone to the new mac? I made the iTunes backup. What other steps should i take to avoid losing my info and settings? Please help

You won't lose any of your iPhone settings when syncing your iPhone with a new computer. When doing so, iTunes on the new computer will create a backup of your iPhone where your iPhone settings are stored.
In addition to an iTunes backup, did you also create a backup of photos that were stored on your old Mac along with contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks?
Before syncing your iPhone, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your old Mac to your new. Then authorize your new Mac with iTunes with your iTunes account. Did you de-authorize your old Mac with iTunes? You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
Also before syncing, enter one contact in the Address Book, and one calendar events in iCal on your new Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later after the first sync. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select - especially if you don't have a backup of contact information and calendar events from your old Mac.
If you use iPhoto for transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone, you need to transfer your iPhoto library from your old Mac to your new or any photos that were transferred from your old Mac to your iPhone will be lost when transferring photos to your iPhone from your new Mac.

Much the same way as you originally did. Download it and use your serial number to activate it.

How do I sync Iphone 5 to new MacBook Pro without deleting what's on iPhone?

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I have an iPhone 5 that has been synced with my PC. When I try and sync the iPhone with the new MacBook ti tells me that it will erase what is on the iPhone and replace it with what is on the MacBook. I want to sync all that is on the iPhone with the MacBook and not delete what is on the iPhone.
How do I do that without loosing any music, emails, photos, calender appointments, etc.?
Thank you for the help in advance.

A device can only sync with one library at a time. Ideally you transfer the library from the PC to the Mac so it is still syncing with the same library.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
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 iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
If you don't have the library anymore then it gets messy. You will have to use third party software to transfer the phone contents to the Mac and rebuild your library there so its content matches that of the old library so you are syncin the content back to the phone.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

How to manage an iPhone on a new iTunes library

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 5S, on iOS 8.3, and I manually manage its contents on iTunes on my now old computer (Windows 7).
Today I got delivery of a Macbook Pro, running on OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), and I want to start managing my iPhone with it, rather than with my old computer, but the only thing I have found so far includes erasing the contents on my iPhone; something I don't much intend to do.
Is there a way of managing my iPhone with my new Mac, rather than with my old PC without erasing it?
I looked everywhere, and still haven't found a good enough solution.
PS. I still have access to my old computer if it's necessary to do something that involves it.

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
See this -> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204318
Then the iPhone should sync without asking to erase it.

How do I sync iPhone to a new PC?

My PC died recently, Ii purchased a new PC and now I'm having a hard time syncing my iDevices to iTunes on the new machine. It is telling me that if I sync my phone to iTunes, I will lose all the apps on my phone and the apps on my iTunes will be added. Problem is, none of my apps are on this PC...help?!?

Yes, that's the way it works.
Use the backup of the old computer to put the content on the new computer, then sync it.

HT201253 How do I sync iPhone with a new computer without losing data?

I've got a new laptop and have transferred my iTunes library from my old desktop to my new computer. I want to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes library, but I get the scary message that my phone is synced to my old computer, and all my data will be erased and replaced from the new library. What exactly will be erased? Is it just the music and other media files, or will I have to reinstall all my apps and other data as well? As a precaution, I've backed up my phone to iCloud. I'd hate to have to completely restore my phone, but if necessary I will. The instructions for this on the Apple Support site are not clear. Thanks in advance for any help/reassurance!

How do I use iphone on Windows 7 machin when current itunes on Mac notebook

My current itunes account that I sync my ipods with is on an old Macbook, but I want to sync my new verizon iphone to my work pc so I can integrate office outlook, etc. Is there a way to keep itunes on both machines?

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
You need to decide which computer you want to transfer iTunes content and photos from. If this will now be your computer at work, you will need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your Mac to your PC. You can transfer your iTunes library from your Mac to your PC at work following the instructions included with this link. This will make the iTunes library on your PC at work identical to your iTunes library on your Mac at the time it is transferred from your Mac. You will also need to authorize your PC at work with your iTunes account with iTunes - the same iTunes account used on your Mac.
