  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • How do I sync my iPhone 4S to my new Macbook Pro without erasing my iPhone?

    I know this has been asked many times and I have tried a lot of the ways that people have said to do it. For example, I have my old iTunes library and i have transfeered it to my Macbook but my iPhone still does not reconize it as the "same" computer. I rather not use any third party software or anything similar. I have actually done this before with a windows computer (I did this about 6 or 7 months ago) but I cannot figure out what I did so that I didnt have to erase my iPhone.

    If you move the library properly it is the "same" library. If you have to import media into an empty library you're getting it wrong.
    At the simplest level you simply copy the entire iTunes folder from user's music on the source computer to user's music on the target copmputer. It only gets complicated if you've started using a non-standard media folder or don't have the Keep... and Copy... options enabled.
    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have to go down that road.

  • How do you import music from my iPhone to my new MacBook Pro without loosing non-purchased music?

    I recently purchased my first MacBook Pro. I am trying to import my music from my iphone to my Mac and itunes, but I do not want to sync it because I have downloaded music from previous CD's that I do not want to loose. It says that I can only transfer "Purchased" music into my itunes library? I can I transfer ALL my music from my iphone to my computer and into itunes????

    Syncing is NOT limited to purchases music. You do not need to purchase anything, just learn how to select and sync (not upload) thru iTunes. What does "not let me upload" mean? What is occurring when you try and what are you doing?

  • HT201272 How do I transfer castleville from Ipad3 to a new Ipad air without loosing all purchased items and data on game

    how do I

    Oh no, I've tried to backup my iPod on my old computer before and it won't let me - the bar just stays in one place and doesn't move!
    I have found this hidden file called Application Data (C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data). I have a feeling this is where my backup files are stored... I did manage to make a backup when I didn't have many apps, but that was over a year ago...
    If I copy these files onto the new computer in the same place, maybe it would let me do a backup without wiping everything.....?!
    (Note: the location might end up being slightly diffrent, because I have a Windows XP now and we're getting a Windows 7. But if I copy all the files in this folder, maybe the ipod won't recognise that it is a different itunes library?)

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • Ensuring iPhone will sync with new Macbook Pro without migrating all settings

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new macbook pro. I don't want to use the migrate assistant to copy all settings and user profiles, because my old macbook has some problems and I want to ensure they aren't transferred over.
    However, I need to be sure that my iPhone 4 will sync properly with my new macbook pro and all my purchased apps will be carried over.
    Can someone tell me what specifically I need to migrate to ensure this works properly?
    Thank you!

  • Is there an easy way to sync an iPhone 5 to a new Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks in advance for helping me out, I think this question has been asked in various forms but I was hoping to be a bit more specific.
    I've just got a new Macbook Pro Retina 13", which is awesome.
    The first thing I want to do is sync up my iPhone 5, which im thinking is going to be a nightmare.
    Im almost certain if I connect my iPhone ill be presented with the option to 'Erase and Sync'.
    Basically, without transfering all my photos, music and apps to a hard-drive and then over onto this new MBP is there a way to sync up without effectively starting from scratch and spending hours with a big transfer?
    Thanks again.

    What do you want to sync? You can use it to just sync your music, movies, and tv shows if you want and don't want to have to erase your apps. You can do the same things just as quickly with iCloud and even more things such as contact syncing, calendar syncing, and more.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 4S with a new iTunes library without losing data?

    Hi,
    I have been using an iPhone 4S for a few months now. Yesterday my PC crashed and I had to reboot the whole system.
    So, obviously I had to reinstall iTunes.
    Now, when I am connecting my phone with iTunes, it is informing me that my phone was synced with another iTunes library and if I sync it with this one, it will erase all data and do a fresh sync with the current library.
    I have alot of important data, photos, contacts, messages, music on my phone now. I can't do without that.
    How do I sync without losing my data? ? Help!
    Tarun

    can't if you do not have access to the old library (the usual workaround is to backup the old library and import it to the new itunes)
    for important data...
    sync your existing contacts with icloud, your text messages will not be disrupted, music will sync with whatever music you have on your new itunes, photos shoud still be in the camera roll (I would sync them to photostream before you sync, just in case).   Any photos on your phone that are not in camera roll or photostream... if you lost those pictures with the computer crash I would take screen shots (lock button + home button at the same time) of each photo so they show up in the camera roll.  App data may or may not be lost.  In my experience, it depends on the app.  Some of the apps recognize your apple ID and sync data over the internet with servers, some do not.  I would take note of important data (such as passwords in a password keeper if you have such an app) just in case if you lose that data.
