  • How can I get my iPhone to sync with a new computer without being erased?

    I was syncing my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, but I formatted the operating system and installed a new iTunes on my laptop. When I connect my iPhone to the laptop, iTunes wants to erase everything in order to start syncing. I want to start syncing with my laptop, not remove all the content already on my phone. I don't want to loose my apps, my contacts, bascially everything on my iPhone.
    What can I do? I appreciate for your help
    Best!

    In short, you can't. But, you can do it in a way that minimizes what information will be lost, if any.

  • HT1689 How do i get my IPhone to sync with my new computer?

    I am wating to put song onto my phone that are on the Itunes on my Mac but it isn't letting me add the songs. How do i change it so that my phone syncs with my mac and not my old computer?

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

  • How to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer after the home computer crashes?

    My iPhone was synced with my work computer. That computer crashed now I am not able to get any other computer to recognize my iPhone, so it is not fully functional, as I can't add music, download large apps, etc. Please help!

    Nothing happens, I only get the pop up window about transferring pics, so it obviously recognizes the plug-in, but in iTunes, nothing happens, my iPhione doesn't appear on the left side, so I can't snyc it:(

  • I just decommissioned my windows pc for a mac power book.  How can I get my ipad to sync with the new computer without erasing all the apps and data on the ipad?

    I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro.  When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer.  How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?

    Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
    Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
    FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005.

  • HT201269 How do I get my iPhone contacts synced to my new iPad?

    I just got a new iPad. I have an iPhone with tons of phone numbers and contact information on it. How do I get those on my new iPad without having to type them all in?

    Go to
    Settings>iCloud(make sure it's the same apple I'd as your iPhone)>sign in if not>click on for contacts
    It should sync maybe not immediately, give it a minute or two.

  • I've copied all of my iTune's library music  from my PC to my new mac. Now how can my I get my iPhone to sync with this new iTunes?

    I did the "home sharing" to get all of my music from my PC to my new mac (as told by a apple worker). Then I copied all of my music and playlists from the shared library to my actually itunes library. Now I don't know how to sync my iPhone up to this computer..? I've tried and it'll say it's syncing but the new song i bought to test it out won't show up on my phone.

    When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
        With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
        If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
        Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

  • I cannot get my iphone to sync with my new computer...help!

    I printed wjosten's instructions for syncing to a new computer and followed them step-by-step.  It didn't work though.  My phone still only syncs my pictures but no other content.  Can anyone help me...I'm really frustrated!

    For Apps, you can re-download them again for free if available in the iTunes/App Store under Purchased.

  • HT1386 How do I get my iPhone to sync with my computer?

    I have the latest version of iTunes. The device is listed in my iTunes. Just switched phones - how do I check phone ID number to know if the iPhone listed is the one I have now?

    Let me try again. While trying to sync my new iPhone with iTunes to my computer, I got this message:
    "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected."
    So I wondered if my computer was trying to back up my old iPhone. I checked the Serial number (the phone id number if referred to earlier) and yes it was. So I added the new phone...and got the same error message. Rats.
    any ideas?
