iPhone is designed to sync with one computer only, if you sync with another it will wipe all your content and replace with whatever is on the other computer.

How do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?

how do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?

Are you talking about photos that were synced to your phone? If so, the photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to extract these photos from your phone, you'll have to use third-party software to do so. Note: photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on your phone, there is no way to recover their full resolution.

HT1212 what happens if your iPhone shows iphone is disabled connect to iTunes and the computer your iPhone is synced with is broken

My daughters locked her phone but the laptop its synced too is broken and she hasn't set up find my phone how do we unlock????

So I'm guessing here, they forgot the passcode? Find My iPhone has nothing to do with forgotten passcode or accessing the phone.
The only way to bypass the passcode it to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync to and restore the backup. However, it appears from what you have typed here, that the computer your normally sync to is broken. The only thing you can do is to use another computer to restore, however you will restore as a new device, since you cannot access the old one. Also, since it is locked, you cannot create a backup either. Not a good situation to be in.

Thanks.

System Preferences > Sharing

How do I change which computer my iPhone is synced with?

I brought my iPhone awhile ago and synced it with my desktop. Now that I just brough a MacBook Pro I want to sync my iPhone with my laptop instead. Everytime I try too it tells me it is synced with my other computer and if I continue I will lose all my music. I don't want to do this - but I don't know how else to swap them over. Can somebody please help me? Thank you

Hello AmandaNZ
Syncing between your iPhone and your computer is something that is paired between the two. Once you try to introduce a new computer into the mix it wants to forget what media is synced between them, like music, movies and other purchased content from your iPhone so you would need to go through that process of it removing the purchased content then re-sync it. You can transfer the purchased content and then re sync the data to get it back on there. Alternatively you can manually manage the content as well or make a back up and then restore the back up to your iPhone using the laptop.

Copy the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one.

How do you change the computer you normally sync with?

My friend is trying to get iOS 5 on his new computer but it wants to delete all his iPhone data. We already transfered his data. How can we update his iPhone without wiping his iPhone and using his old computer?

Plug it in and sync it.
The current data will be erased from the iphone and replaced with content form the new computer, so make sure that you have copied everything from your old computer to the new one.

Same question for the "2 iPhones in one account".....How do I change the name. My iPhone is showing my wife's iPhone name when I am syncing it. Why is that? I know about using one iTunes account....But how do you change the name w/o erasing your data?

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

dave0915,
iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4?

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone.

Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.
