How do I sync my Iphone data to a recently bought PC with Windows 8?

Trying to sync my iPhone photos,videos, and music to my new HP Computer with Windows 8 but it keeps telling me if I sync that the iPhone will be erased and replaced with the data on the laptop (of which there is none). I used to own a Macbook pro but it got fried, that's the only other computer I believe the iPhone has synced to. I just want to take data from the phone and put it on the computer, not erase it. Thanks for the help.

It doesn't work like that.
You need to transfer the iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one.

  • My old computer died, got new one, how do I sync my iPhone data TO my new PC?

    My old computer hard drive crashed and I just purchased new PC. I would like to sync all my data from my iPhone TO my new computer. I authorized my new computer under iTunes but it will only sync the apps, songs, etc. that I purchased from my iPhone to my new computer.
    I want to be able to save all my data especially my music that is stored on my iPhone to my new PC iTunes library. If this is not possible is there a way to just back up my iPhone data (music, audiobooks, video, ) to a normal storage device (hard drive, flash drive, etc.)?
    All my photos I was able to save and back up just by opening up the Computer icon on the desk top and the doub;le clicking the iPhone under Portable Devices.
    There must be a way to save and or back up the rest of the data on my iPhone in the same way. Does anyone know how or if this is possible?

    In iTunes, select the iPhone.
    Click the Info tab, scroll down and select what you want to sync.

  • How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the original data

    How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the app data?

    You must first sync the iPhone with the old Mac as you normally do, then move the entire iTunes Library from the old Mac to the new one.
    An iPhone can only be synced with one computer at a time. When you first sync the iPhone with the new Mac, you will "erase and sync". This will erase the entire phone first, then sync it with the content you moved from the old Mac.

  • How do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    how do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    If you mean your iCloud Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you are changing accounts (by setting up a new account with a new ID), when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then create the new account, turn on your data syncing and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
    If you change accounts you will be assigned a new iCloud email address.  You will also lose your photo stream.  If you have any photos in your my photo stream album that are not saved to your camera roll that you want to keep, before deleting your orignal account, open the My Photo Steam album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

  • My laptop died out of the blue. It included all the songs that I have ever owned. How do I sync my iPhone 3GS and save all my music?

    How do I sync my iPhone 3Gs without losing all my music. I didn't buy all my music on iTunes. A lot of songs were from cds which I no longer have in my possession.
    Please advise.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data is a good idea. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring content that was not purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPhone.

  • How to I sync my iphone contacts to icloud without losing contacts?

    how to I sync my iphone contacts to icloud without losing contacts? I am afraid to turn "on" the button to sync to the cloud because I am not sure if the contacts from my phone merge to the icloud or is it that the icloud information merges to my phone? My phone has the most current data and at one point I did have the contact syncing to the cloud, but then turned it off. Now, I want to turn it back on.
    How do I know I won't lose the data on my phone only to be replaced with old data from the cloud?

    it does not seem to work for me. I have backed up my iphone 5s with a back up from my previous 4. the back-up process works fine, I can see all my contacts in the phone but then I activate icloud (on which there are no contacts) and all my contacts disappear instantly... I tried 5 times now and everytime the same result. I'm considering to stop using the cloud all together.
    I've tried to manually back-up to icloud immediatly after restoring back-up on the phone, it didn't work.
    please help !

    If i cancel the "sync", I won't have any of my applications update though, will I?  I want my applications to update, I just don't want to lose the appointments and dates that I have scheduled in my calendar.  Any ideas?

    The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
    If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way.

    Alternatively, depending on where the data in Outlook is coming from, you could set up your phone to sync to the same account that Outlook is syncing with.  For example, my Outlook 2011 and my iPhone both sync to my work Exchange account, so I have that same calendar in both places.
