How do I sync from the computer to the iphone only?

I want to sync a new iphone to my existing computer with all my info on it.  The iphone has someone's old info on it and I want to replace that info with all of mine, but I want to be sure when I sync it doesn't take any info from the phone and put it in my itunes, contacts, calendar, etc.

The music sync is one way -  Computer to iphone.    The only exception is itunes purchases.
The iphone will only sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to a different computer it will erase the current contennt and replace with the content of the new computer.
The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selcted content of your computer.

  • I was on a trip and downloaded some tunes on my notebook.  i then wanted to sync them to my Imac at home, but can nnot find a cable hook up ..nor can i seem to do it through the wireless network...how can I sync from the notebook itunes with the imac at h

    I was on a trip and I downloaded some tunes on my notebook. 
    At home now, and I am trying to sync the notebook itunes new songs to my Imac, so I do not have to open both computers in the 'shared library' section every time I want to hear a song that I bought last week on the notebook.  I simply want to dump my new tunes on my imac and play them from there.  Is there a cable I am missing, how do I connect both computers?
    I can not imagine a world where I can buy the music on the notebook, but I can not transfer it on my Imac???!!!
    Suggestions please!
    Thanks everyone,

    There are several ways. iCloud is partially live, at least in the US, so if you are in the US and have the latest version of iTunes on your home computer, start up iTunes, click on the Store button in the list on the left side of the screen, and on the right side of the iTunes store screen look for Purchased (there will be an orange New! tag next to it). You can (re)download any songs you've bought from your account on any authorized device you own. IOW, buy with your iPad, download later with your iMac if you don't feel like syncing with your iPad.
    If you have a wireless network at home you can using filesharing to connect the two computers and copy the songs from the notebook to the desktop. My wife has a corporate DropBox account and she just copies her new songs into the DropBox and grabs them when she's at home. I have a history of forgetting that I've downloaded songs on my notebook or at work so I always immediately copy them to my flash drive. So there you go - lots of ways to do what you want.

  • I re-installed Windows 7, and now itunes doesn't match what's on my ipod touch. How can I sync from the device back onto the laptop?

    I've lost all my playlists, and itunes has included all the albums from the My Music folder that were not included for reasons of space in the previous version. Is there a way that I can sync the ipod touch to itunes on the laptop---making the laptop agree with what's on the device? Thanks for your help.

    Hello user!
    In afraid you can only transfer songs from your iPod if you use "Transfer purchases" on iTunes Menu> Device.
    This thing is better than move the folder from your device because iTunes use a different method to sync songs and app.
    Try it!

  • How to import pictures from my computer to my iphone

    How do i import pictures from my computer to my I phone.

    You just use iTunes, like you would for music, videos, podcasts, and books. Connect your iPhone to your computer, click the iPhone, click the Photos tab across the top of iTunes and choose where you want photos synced from.
    You can get aditional information here -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    And, when you're ready to import photos from your iPhone into your computer, take a look at this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    Hey sorry I just got my new Iphone 4 and i downloaded a game from itunes off my computer and i dont know how to get it onto my iphone 4 please help

    There are two ways, you can sign into the app store from your iPhone, select upgrades at the bottom, select purchased, select not on this iPhone and download from their or plug your iPhone into iTunes, left click on your iphone in the left pannel, select the apps heading, select the game you downloaded and select sync at the bottom of the screen (make sure there is a check mark in the box beside sync apps). If the game is over 20mb you will have to be connected to wifi to download it directly on your iphone

  • I have music on my iPhone that is not on my Mac iTunes.  How do I transfer from the iPhone to the Mac?

    I had an incomplete backup of my music on an external hard drive.  I had to have my hard drive replaced.  I now have music on my iPhone that is not on my MacBook Pro.  It is music that was not purchased from the iTunes store, but it was uploaded from a CD (which I no longer have).  How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my MacBook?

  • HT1296 I have switched from a Exchange account to an imap account and now my contacts won't sync from my computer to my iPhone - what to do?

    I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
    What should I do?

    What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
    Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.

  • I have songs missing on iTunes but they are on my iPhone. How can I copy from the iPhone into iTunes on my mac air

    I have songs missing from my iTunes on the computer but they are on my iPhone 3s and my iPad mini. How can I get them into iTunes so they are in my library.?I have the latest iTunes on my commuter. Thanks for any suggestions.

    If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

  • How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

    How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

    icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream).  If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore.  But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_UShttp://www.ipadconverter-mac.com/restore-iphone-from-icloud/
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
