How do i transferr iphone contacts and music to new laptop?

I have a new laptop and need to transfer music, contacts, itunes to new computer. How do I do that?

Were you syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your previous computer? If so, how were you doing that?
For your iTunes library, transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link along with all other important data you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • My iphone is broken and won't turn on. How can i transfer my contacts and music to my new phone?

    My iphone 4s's lock button broke. My phone won't turn on. I ordered an iphone 5s. How can i tun on my iphone 4s and transfer my contacts,music, and other things to my new iphone? Please help

    The following gives instructions on how to transfer to a new device via either iCloud (top section) or iTunes (bottom section). Assuming that you already have a backup via one of those methods you can skip the first few steps and go directly to the restore instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • How to transfer iPhone contacts and calendar into new iPad 2?

    Hi
    I have owned my 3Gs phone for about a year. I have manually entered contact and calendar data into it.
    I do not sync with outlook, gmail or other services. I have contacts on those services, but I do not want to merge everything together. Now I have a new iPad, and I need to get my contacts and calendar duplicated into my iPad.
    I don't want to get a MobileMe account.
    I have googled around and found some solutions, but I have not been able to get any to work. I have successfully installed a subset of my iPhone apps on the iPad using iTunes.
    So, how do I do this?
    I have tried the various settings on the INFO tab when my iPhone/iPad is connected to the computer (windows), but can't seem to find any settings that allow transfer between devices.
    If I make a change on one device, how do I get it to the other device?
    I wish I could see the contacts and appointments like I do the apps and media for selection and transfer.
    There must be a way, how?
    Thanks
    Randy

    It is easy to move the phone stuff to the iPad. Just restore the iPad for the backup of the iPhone. However, I know of no way to keep them in sync between the iPhone and the iPad in the future since you do not want to use/purchase MobileMe or sync with another program like Outlook or Google stuff.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

    I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

    To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
    ...  The PC she synced with is dead
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
    If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
    All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
    There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

  • How to synchronise calendar, contacts and music separately?

    Anyone knows how you can synchronize your calendar, contacts and music separately? It seems that ITunes is capable of only synchronizing everything you have.
    I have a computer at home (Vista) with my music and another one at work (XP) with my contacts and calendar (Outlook). Is it possible to synchronize my Ipod with both automatically and conveniently? ie my work PC doesn't delete all my music?
    I have a 5 years old palm pilot that does this without any special intervention. Can ITunes do the same?

  • I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive. 

  • HT4436 I have an old icloud account with music and pics on a computer and a new account  on my iphone and ipad how do I transfer my pics and music to my iphone account or cync them i dont want to have to repurchase all my music to pplay on my iphone

    I have an old icloud account with music and pics on a computer and a new account  on my iphone and ipad how do I transfer my pics and music to my iphone account or cync them i dont want to have to repurchase all my music to play on my iphone

    Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID.  (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
    If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes.  If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

    How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

    Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
    Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.
