HT1296 my computer crashed and i want to sync my iphone to a new computer ow can i do this?
is there away to sync my iphone4s to a new lptop?
The EASY way is to restore the backup that you must have kept of the computer that crashed to your new laptop. In lieu of that there's a much more complicated process that preserves most, but not all content: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

I have my entire music library (purchased and burnt CD's) on my iPod Touch from one computer and I wanted to sync it all to my new computer. I was hoping it would all transfer via sync when I plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work. Please help?!
Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again. -

My Computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Just got a new computer and when I plug my iphone into it to sync it says Ii can't because its already synced with another itunes I've logged into my itunes acc.) It says I must earse and replace with new itunes I don't want to lose everything on my phone by doing this is there anything else i ca do
That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

My macbook crashed, and i want to sync my phone with my new macbook
My Macbook crashed, and with it I lost my entire music library; at least the part that wasn't synced to my iPhone 4S. I purchased a new macbook and would love to transfer the songs FROM my iphone TO my macbook, but I keep getting this message - which I am fearful will erase the precious few songs I did save on the iPhone:
Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
Can somebody please advise? Thank you.Hi evanlovett,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you no longer have the computer that had your iTunes Library stored on it and you want to move what music you still have on your iPhone to your new computer. If the music was purchased from iTunes you can get this music back to your iTunes Library two different ways. You can either transfer purchases from the iPhone to the iTunes Library, or you can just download the music again from the Purchased section of iTunes. I will post the information on both ways to recover your purchased music below. If the music on your iPhone came from a CD or another source (not purchased from iTunes) there would be no way to transfer it to your iTunes Library.

I want to sync my iphone to a new computer without loosing my apps, contacts, and photos
I need to sync my iphone3 to a new computer without loosing my data
Take a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 I think this is what you need. I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone (3GS) to sync with it again...without losing the apps. This page from OSXdaily is also useful: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/ I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone... It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything. Hope this helps.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.
Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

My Ipod crashed when I went to use it on my new computer
Use a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac or Phone to PC - Pod to PC.

Syncing an iPhone to a new computer.
Hey Guys,
My iphone is synced with an old computer which no longer works, and i have downloaded itunes on the new computer today. I want to sync my iphone with the new computer but a pop-up appears and says it has to erase my iphone to sync it? anyway i can get around this as i dont want to lose any of my songs or pictures or just anything!
Cheers
Danayou can transfer purchases and back up photos.
And, you can use iexplorer to get everything manualy,
but if you cant get to the previous PC (or its HDD) or you never synced with old PC then you shall be forced to start anew.
As I said, get everything backed up (make a backup of iphone on the new PC) and then separate backups and try it. -
My computer crashed with all my itunes files. I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer. I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music. Will this happen?
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them. -

My computer crashed and I need to rebuild my site on a different computer
My computer crashed and I need to rebuild my iweb site on another computer. What do I need to do?
I take it that you didn't backup your domain.sites file? If not, then on the Mac that you are re-building your site on, just open iWeb and start re-building.
If you did, then attach the hard drive that you want to restore from to the Mac that you are using and restore the relevant domain.sites file to that computer and then double click it to open it and iWeb should open it. -
