How to Sync music & put the music from iPhone onto computer?

I am trying to get the songs off my iPhone and onto my iMac. But when I try and Sync it it says that if I continue, it will erase ALL my songs from the phone and replace it with the songs on my computer (which is just a few.) So how do I get all the songs off my phone and onto my computer without losing any of them in the process???

Is this the computer you normally sync with? By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. To put your purchased content on your computer, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, under preferences in itunes. Connect your phone, do not sync. Go up to Store>Authorize this computer to make sure your computer is authorized. Next, File>Transfer Purchases. All of your purchased content(music/apps) will be transferred. From there, select your content & sync.

How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac.

How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac. Besides these paymentprograms. And I have no previous backup that I can get it from.

This is amazing! Pick out everything I need from the iPhone. Just what I've been looking for a long time, but did not find anything I liked. So started to see if I could pick out one and one thing ... Definitely worth the money. Thank you Julian!
PS. I fully support the payment thing, but theres allot of legal free programs aswell, so just wondered =)

How do I put my music in the cloud from iphone

how do I put my music in the cloud from iphone

You can't upload your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) to the cloud on your phone, you can only do that via your computer's iTunes (and if you've subscribed to iTunes Match).
For iTunes store purchases you can delete it from the Music app (e.g. by swiping/dragging from right-to-left across it in the app), but whether it will then show in the cloud for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in, if it's still in the store, and if you've moved countries since buying it. If you've subscribed to iTunes Match and it's been matched, it should show in the cloud.

Everytime I delete music from my iPad mini and then re-sync, it puts the music back on. How do I prevent this?

I shuffle music around a lot (and is there a way to delete whole albums at a swipe and not have to do it song by song) so am getting frustrated when iTunes keeps restoring my iPad mini to the last incarnation of songs. Are there settings I am missing?

If your iPad is on iOS 7 as your tagline suggests then you can only delete individual songs directly on your iPad, you can't delete whole albums in one go.
For the music being put back on, what music sync options do you have on its Music tab when connected to your computer's iTunes ? If you have it set to sync the album / artist / playlist that contains a song that you've deleted directly on your iPad then you will need to change your sync options - as far as iTunes knows you've accidentally deleted the song(s) from your iPad, so unless you also change your sync selection (e.g. removing the album, removing tracks from your playlists on your computer's iTunes) then it will them back on it.

How do you put Voice Memos from iPhone to computer?

I've had a very long chat with Apple Support and they don't seem to know the answer.
My voice memos are important and are above 30MB so emailing isn't an option.
I first synced my memos to my iTunes as usual (music doesn't sync with the library, bear in mind) and expected all my memos to appear, however they didn't. They appeared in the "on my device section" but I couldn't play them as the exclamation point appeared.
Under Apple's instruction I updated to the new iTunes, and now the previous memos don't even appear in the "on my device" section. They said it's likely to do with ios 8. The memos I want were created in ios 8. And now they've randomly been duplicated on my phone so I have two of each?
So after this iTunes update, I made a new memo, which again was duplicated, but now appears in the "on my device" part.
What do I do to put the memos onto my computer somehow? I really need them!

The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred. Here is some more information on that if you want to check it out for future use: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28606837

How do I only put some songs from itunes onto my iphone?

I put all my music into my itunes (1700 songs) but only want to put 900 songs on my iphone. I have selected 'manually manage music' and 'sync only checked songs'. 'sync entire music library' is not selected, but itunes still put my whole library on my phone..?

I've had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4 ever since updating to iOS 7.1! Went through all the steps you did plus I also erased all the music off my phone and started over (per another suggestion in another forum.) Same result - all music loads. Grrrr. I really don't want to listen to Christmas music in April!

HT204085 How can we delete all the data from iphone keychain of all the apps?

Is it possible to delete all the data from keychain? Cleaning keychain, which delete all the item stored in keychain of all the applications on iDevices. Programatically can we do it?

Depends whether you have selected Lock when Full or Wrap when Full for the Buffer Mode. If you have selected Lock When Full, the capture will stop when the the buffer is full. You can then Save the Buffer and download it in the form of sniffer file and start you capture again. This will over write the old data. If you have selected Wrap when Full, then it will continue the capture when the buffer is full. The oldest packets are discarded as new packets arrive.

Putting Info from Iphone onto computer

I just had to have my computer serviced and the tech reformatted my hard drive trying to fix an apparent software program. Win 7, 32bit. I've got all the information including contacts on my iphone and want to get it onto the computer. Everything I find is for putting what's on the computer onto the iphone. I need to do it the other direction. I've done a LOT of work creating my contacts and do NOT want to have to re-type everything to get it onto the computer. I've not used outlook before but understand I can sync between them, so guess I can become a user if I have to...but I don't want to have to re-type 130 contacts with multiple phones, emails, and addresses. Please tell me there is a way to transfer into to the computer without losing it on the iphone.

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes, which in windows is under the edit menu.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in whatever programs you use for that purpose on your computer. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
Your contacts will now be in whatever supported application you use for that purpose on your computer.
That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library.

Importing songs from iPhone onto computer...

I have a different iTunes library than I do my phone because I had to recently restore my computer.
There are so many songs on my iPhone that are not on my computer and I'd like to add them. How do I go about doing this? The only option my computer gives me is to sync and erase the songs on my iPhone and I don't want to do that!

ITunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content purchased from the iTunes Store only.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
FYI - for this reason and for a number of other reasons is why maintaining a backup of your iTunes library and other data on your computer is so important. It isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever. This is important regardless the platform - a Windows PC or a Mac but even more so with a Windows PC with constant virus, adware and spyware concerns which isn't a problem with a Mac and OS X.
