How do I change the computer that my iPhone wifi syncs to?

I recently got a new computer and want to have my iPhone sync to it over wifi. I went on my old computer and unchecked the box that said 'sync with this iPhone over wifi" and then tried to apply it and sync my phone, but the old computer will not sync my phone. I then went to the new computer and checked the "sync with this iPhone over wifi" but it did nothing on the phone, and will not allow my to sync it.

See this migrate iTunes library post to make sure you've transferred the library properly to the new computer. Connect the iPhone to it with a cable, perform a wired sync, then set up the option to sync wirelessly again.

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes

    How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail.  I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

    Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
    For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
    When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?

  • HT4436 how do i change the computer that my icloud photostream was syncing with

    how do I change where my photostream pictures are going. I got a new computer and am trying to get everything from the old to the new?

    On your PC, open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and check the box for Photo Stream. You can adjust your Photo Stream settings by clicking Photo Stream Options.
    Your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • How do i change the computer that my ipod touch is hosted by?

    I recently bought a new laptop and i want to transfer my ipod to it form my old laptop.  I transferred all of the media files and my itunes is in tact.  How do i get the ipod to synch to the new computer?

    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Is there no easy way to change the computer that an iPhone is synched with?

    I have my iPhone 4 synched to an old Power Mac.  I just bought a new Macbook and want to transfer my iPhone info to this new computer so I can synch and update software from this new computer.  I am getting rid of the Power Mac.  Is there no easy way to do this?  I can't seem to figure it out.  I don't want to lose my info or iTunes library.  Apple is usually so intuitive, but this seems to be incredible complicated.  Any ideas?

    This link says "If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so".  I don't understand.  Isn't it ALL synched to my iPhone?  Isn't that why it's ON my iPhone?  This is absurdly confusing.

  • I want to change the computer that I sync my ipod to.  How do I do that without having to download all my apps again

    My computer is really slow, so I want to change the computer that I sync my ipod to.  What is the easiest way to change computers and get all my apps, music, pics, books etc. to the new computer for syncing?

    Assuming that there is enough storage space on your iPod to hold all of your songs, the most direct way would be to combine all of the song files from your various computers to the computer you wish to use as your main library and sync all. If you don't still have all of the files that are currently on your iPod for what ever reason, there are programs that can copy non-store purchases from iPod to computer, which will allow you to follow my first suggestion. Search this forum for recommendations of which programs will work for your setup. iTunes Store purchases can be downloaded again if you have the log-in and password, but there is a limited number of times you can do that. If you have run out of authorizations, you can de-authorize all devices once per year. There is more to this than I can tell you now, so search the forum for that info too.
    One thing to be careful of is that iTunes may ask you when you first hook up your iPod to a computer that is not the same as the last computer it synced to is whether you want to sync to it now. If you say yes, it will delete all of the content on your iPod and sync what ever you have iTunes set up to sync. You will want to say no to this prompt if you see it unless you have first gathered all of your song files into the new library.
