How do I sync the contents of my iPhone 4s with my new Macbook Pro?

My iPhone has content on it that is not backed up up anywhere else because my old computer died.
Is there anyway to move the content from my phone onto my new laptop?

excellent point about time machine, using that monkey now. Too bad it's not a real time machine though, drats.
Also I'm new to this forum, but thought there would be some apple people here. I'll have to put my question in with them, I'm sure it will be high priority
RE: One Way Sync I'm well aware of this (and I have other complaints about the accessability of those media's as well) My response/question though is specifically about audio, and even more specifically something I did not mention is that I would need to wipe my phone in order to re-sync. Is there no way to sync with a new library and keep the contents of your phone on your phone, allowing a user access to read and write, or in the case of audio files, just write or trash/remove?
This draw back just makes me want to unlock the phone so I can hack in, I just don't have the time or desire to use my time in that way. It was already hard enough to get the SDK working.
Thanks for the response though.

  • How do i sync the iTunes from my iPhone 6 to my new MacBook without removing all the music from my phone?

    I have just purchased a new MacBook and am having trouble syncing the existing iTunes on my iPhone 6 to it. The only option it gives me is to wipe the music on my phone and replace it with the existing playlists on my iTunes (on the MacBook). For some reason all the purchases I have made on my iPhone are not always transferred on to this computer.. help please!
    Many thanks

  • HOW DO I SYNC MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY NEW MACBOOK PRO?  AFTER THE INITIAL SYNC!

    I SAW SIMULAR QUESTIONS....BUT THE ANSWERS SAID TO PLACE ONE UNIQUE CONTACT THEN SYNC UP YOUR COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST TIME.  WELL, I ALREADY PASSED THAT STEP.  SO IS THERE A WAY TO MERGE THE CONTACTS IN RETROSPECT? 

    You need to be on the same apple id on both devices, and sync the contacts.
    Or, save a back up on the iTunes from your iPhone 4, and then restore that back up on the iPhone 5C.

  • 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 log on remotely to my work computer with my new MacBook Pro?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and am trying to access my work computer in Texas. I did this regularly with my old computer, just signed in on the remote computer link. I can't find any remote links on this computer. Can you walk me through that? I'm sure it's obvious but I'm missing it! Thanks! Margaret

    Hello, Margaret,
    Unless you're running Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's application for managing networked Macs, this probably won't be the best place for you to get help with your issue. I would suggest you ask again in the Mac OS X Networking forum. When you repost, please be sure to include full details: the OS version on your MacBook Pro, what type of system you're trying to connect to, and what sort of access you're referring to; sharing files, taking control of the system, or what. That way people will have more information on which to base suggestions.
    Good luck.

  • How do I sync my iPad to transfer my contacts to my new MacBook Pro?

    How do I sync my iPad to transfer my contacts to a newly purchased MacBook Pro?

    Hi DennaFromFL.
    What a great question! Here's an excellent article that covers how to sync content from your iPad to your computer:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    I found that the section "Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and Notes" had the information that you were looking for:
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
    Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities to find your answers.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • HT1296 How can I sync the content on my iPad 1 to my new computer without losing anything?

    My old computer (a PC) is crashed and is no longer usable. I hadn't synced my iPad to that computer in several months. Now, I have a Mac Air and when I plug my iPad 1 into it, I get a message that states the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. I'm given the option to Erase and Sync, but that will mean that I'll lose what's currently on my iPad. Is there a way to avoid that?

    This will work with all purchased content on the iPad.
    If you have synced photos on the iPad that you want to transfer to the Mac, you will need a third party app like Photo Transfer - or an application like TouchCopy, that will transfer everything into the new iTunes library - if you care to check that out.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your MBA and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new MBA, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

    You can always download apps again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. This will explain how to download past purchases if needed.

  • 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.

    How do you transfer the content from an iPhone to a PC? I have to use a PC for a while and don't know how to put my stuff on to there from my phone

    If you're talking about music and movies an i-device was not designed for unique storage of media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing music and movies is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred from a device to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I have just bought a new mac book, and I want to start from scratch by syncing the content of my iPhone, but each time I try it wants to delete everything on the iPhone and replace by what on the new iTunes library, i.e. nothing! can I do the reverse?

    I have just bought a new mac book, and I want to start from scratch by syncing the content of my iPhone, but each time I try it wants to delete everything on the iPhone and replace by what's on the new iTunes library, i.e. nothing! can I do the reverse, i.e. importing all my iphone's stuff on the new computer?

    You need to copy some files and your iTunes folder to the new computer. Do you have a backup of your old computer (or still have the old computer?) Was the old computer a Mac or PC?
