How do I sync (copy) my iPhone's content to my PC?

Here's the deal.  I'm using a computer that currently has an iTunes sync to a device I no longer intend to use.  I have my dad's iPhone in my hand and I want to get some music on it (specifically, I want to rip a CD to it).  I do grasp that iTunes demands that the device be synced with the computer in order to begin moving files to/from it.  But the only "sync" iTunes is offering is one where my local (no longer needed) content overwrites what's on the phone.
That will not do.
If I have to bypass iTunes and use another app, then so be it, but I will say in advance that the likes of Yamipod fail to recognize any i-device I hook up, no matter what USB port I use, and despite the fact that I killed all apple processes.
(This, by the way.. this rubbish of jumping through hoops for five hours with no result.. is the main reason why I personally use Android.)

That's nice for you. It does not, however, alter reality.
Turingtest2 provided you with the alternative. It is not free.
Give your father a copy of the CD and let him rip it himself.
If you're not happy with the situation, then use the contact us link at the bottom of the page and tell Apple.

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

    My laptop was stolen. How do I sync my old iphone to a new computer without losing my purchases (music & apps)?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • HT1296 how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

    how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

    I have the same issue. I've already read the iPhone user guide which didn't help.
    The user guide explains how to turn on Photo Sync in iTunes but no specifics of where the imported photos will be. I tried syncing a few times and I cannot find the photos on my PC.iTunes transferred all my PC photos *to* the phone, but not the other way around.
    I'd imagine they should be in the folder that is specified in iTunes.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?

    How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?
    Hi,  Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
    I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
    Thanks,

    Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
    This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.

  • How do I sync photos from Iphone to Ipad?

    How can I sync photos from Iphone 4S to Ipad 4th generation?

    The only way is to sync to iTunes on a computer and then sync from iTunes to the other device, using USB.
    If you're thinking of using photo stream, that won't work now, since only photos taken AFTER each device was logged into photo stream will sync between them.  All older photos must be synced via a computer.
    The exception to this is if you use dropbox or some other service to act as the middleman.

  • How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC?

    How do I sync photos from iPhone to my PC? I just can't seem to figure it out. All I want to do is take the pictures i took with my iPhone camera and sync them to a folder on my PC (Windows Vista). Thanks for the help.

    I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.

  • How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

    how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

    To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.
