How to sync in new mac w/o loosing data? iphone 4S

I used to sync my iPhone 4S in a Snow Leopard Mac.... now i have Lion and i want to sync in the new one, how can i sync in the new not losing data?
I think a full backup in the old one -> Sync in the new -> restore backup in the new.... does that work?

If this means it is a DIFFERENT computer and you still have access to the OLD computer... Then...
To have  EVERYTHING  as it is Now...
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

    How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
    We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS  on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
    I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
    Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
    Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy)  it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
    Thanks

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

    I'm on Mavericks and iOS 7, but my iBook on Mac is different from my iPhone 5.
    Does anyone know how to sync iBooks between Mac and iPhone?
    This issue has been puzzled me for a while, hope can find a way out here, many thanks~

    Under iTunes / File / Devices ?
    But I did not see my iPhone under this section...
    Only see those 4 options:
    Sync "my iPhone"
    Transfer Purchases from "my iPhone"
    Back Up
    Restore from Backup
    Could you describe a bit more precise?
    Many thanks~

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

  • How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?

    Hi.
    First up .. is Notes supported in Mavericks as I see no specific forum here?
    My question is How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?
    I have lots of Notes written in the Notes application on my iMac.
    All these Notes also appear in my iCloud Notes page via Safari. So far, so good.
    BUT if I want to sync Notes to my iPhone (iOS 7) my iPhone settings tells me iPhone Notes is default and that if I turn on Notes on iPhone all my iCloud Notes will be deleted.
    HOWEVER, I cannot see a way on my iPhone to set the default Notes to iCloud.
    I am unsure if this is a OSX question or an iOS question .. but it is a NOTES question.
    If you can help, it would be appreciated. Else I will ignore Notes on iPhone (as it seems from other Forums I cannot delete it).
    C'mon Apple .. you are losing the ease-of-use mojo.
    Michael

    These are fun, call apple care and ask for a senior advisor, Both Mac and ios can help. But I can't help you on here it's just too detailed. Expect to spend about 30 minutes with a senior advisor.

  • How to sync wifes new iphone4 to my iphone 3g with both on my apple id?

    how to sync wifes new iphone4 to my iphone 3g with both on my apple id?

    I think that might not work.  If you backup your wife's new phone and then try and restore the 3G from that backup I think that you will get an error message because the 3G needs to have the same iOS or higher than the 4 and the 3G can only have iOS 4.2.1  On another note it is not good to use the same ID for imessage on two phones ( if that uis what you plan on also doing) as you will get each others messages

    Hey floridiansue,
    Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook?  If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

  • My daughter is complaining her new Mac Pro is loosing battery life a lot quicker than other kids at school with the same pro mac

    my daughter is complaining that her new Mac Pro is loosing power a lot quicker than other students with the same Mac Pro

    Is there a MBPro equivalent to PMU reset on my Pismo:
    Unplug from AC
    remove battery
    hold down power button 10+ seconds
    replace battery
    Plug up
    power on
    this is also supposed to zap the NVRAM. zapping PRAM is always recommended in this process for good measure.

  • How can I sync my new Mac to my iphone?

    I knew my old computer was giving up on me so I was trying to back up my iTunes on my old HP computer on an external drive...but I was too late! It crashed before I could back it up somewhere else.  The good thing is that I was able to sync my phone first and synce my whole iTunes library on to my phone..but now I can't figure out how to get my iTunes on my new Mac to sync to my phone vs. syncing my phone to iTunes?  I was able to of course download all the stuff I purchased on iTunes but can't seem to get all the other music I uploaded from CD's to my new iTunes on my new Mac.  I haven't been able to update my phone in sooooo long time because I'm afraid to "sync" my new iTunes and loose all the songs on my iPhone that weren't purchased through iTunes.  Does that make sense?  Someone please, please help!!

    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.
    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.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, some mentioned in this thread:

    Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac.  How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
    Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.
