  • How do I get my old iPhone 4g to work with a new computer without losing all data on it?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with Retna display to replace a dead gateway running Windows XP. My iPhone 4 was always connected to the old gateway and I synced to the iTunes on it. Now I have my new MacBook up and running and have logged into its new iTunes and synced my new iTunes to my Apple ID and to the apple store. Everything looks good in the new iTunes. Problem is now when I connect my old iPhone to the new computer it's iTunes warns of my iPhone data about to be erased. How can I prevent losing all my stuff. I don't want to lose all my text messages on the iPhone. What can I do to prevent losing everything from my phone?

    Ok thanks again for your reply, link to Apple article, and concern for my questions. That is very refreshing to have people willing to share their knowledge like you.
    So why do you suppose we get this awful warning when we connect our iPhone to a new computer that all data on the phone will be deleted if we continue? Furthermore why don't we get a further explanation as to what to do sat that point?
    I can not stand warnings like this that make me feel like I have done something wrong, that somehow I may be violating my terms of service. All that legalize is not customer friendly. Apple has always impressed my more that any company with excellent personal customer service but this is not good the way they scare you when you honestly are trying to move to a new computer with your old iPhone.

  • My motherboard died but the hardrive is still good. How can I get my old bookmarks and copy them to my new computer?

    My old Gateway laptop died (about 2 years old)but the harddrive is still good. I was able to retrieve all my old info EXCEPT I can't figure how to get to my old bookmarks file so I can copy them into my new computer. I believe. I have tried several forums, but the instructions don't give me the results I need. I am running my old drive with a USB adapter so I can see all my files, but can't get to/find the bookmark file.

  • How do I get my old itunes data and library into my new computer

    I recently bought a new laptop (10.7.5) and had to leave town quickly. I dumped my Itunes folder from my old machine onto an external hard drive and now I don't know how to get that all into and onto the new laptop. I think I would like to keep the  whole 80GB of data on my 500gb harddrive. Should I copy manually? I am hoping that all my song info and playlists etc. can come too> HELP!

    Copy the entire /iTunes/ folder on the external drive to /Music/ on your computer then launch iTunes. That is all you need to do.

    You mean new to you. Anything releaased in the last 1.5 years would have 10.8.

  • How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
    To make sure do this:
    1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
    2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
    3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
    4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
    5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
    6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
    7. ENJOY your new iPad
    ----------OR-----------
    1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
    2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
    3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
    4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
    ****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
    ****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
    ****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
    LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
    AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!

  • Lost all my info on my phone after going on itunes, now got all husbands contacts,photos and other stuff, not on icloud, how do i get ,y old stuff back

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Without a backup, you will not be able to recover deleted contacts. You need to set up a separate iCloud account for your daughter, so you can keep your mail, contacts, calendars etc separate.

  • I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

    I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

    You can restore a backup of the old device to a new one.  This will erase everything on the new one before restoring, so this may be an issue if you already have data on the new device. 
    To do a backup of the old device, iTunes is the safest route, in my opinion.  Many users have lost photos when performing a restore from an icloud backup.
    An icloud backup does not include everything.  For example,only photos in camera roll are backed up.  Also, music is not backed up since you get it back from itunes and (for purchased music) from the itunes store.
    To restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

    How do I transfer all the stuff from my ipod to my new ipad

    Assuming that the iPod is an iPod Touch - Restore the new iPad from a backup of the iPod and follow that with a sync with iTunes.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under devices and select transfer purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select backup. Eject the iPod.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes if it is not already running. If prompted to set up as new or restore from a backup - select the backup of the iPod. If not prompted, right click on the iPad name on the left under devices and select - restore from backup. Select the iPod backup in the pop up window. Let the process complete and then sync with iTunes.

    "i want to know will yamipod copy everything to my itunes from my ipod like playlists and the name of the ipod , settings etc"
    Yamipod copies music (including playlist). Your settings are stored on the iPod and will not change. That includes the name you gave it which should show up in iTunes whenever you connect the iPod.
    Yamipod does not transfer play-counts, ratings etc.

    You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.

    For other music you will require a 3rd party program
