HT1386 How do I get my iPhone to sync with my computer?

I have the latest version of iTunes. The device is listed in my iTunes. Just switched phones - how do I check phone ID number to know if the iPhone listed is the one I have now?

Let me try again. While trying to sync my new iPhone with iTunes to my computer, I got this message:
"iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected."
So I wondered if my computer was trying to back up my old iPhone. I checked the Serial number (the phone id number if referred to earlier) and yes it was. So I added the new phone...and got the same error message. Rats.
any ideas?

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

  • How can I get my iPhone to sync with a new computer without being erased?

    I was syncing my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, but I formatted the operating system and installed a new iTunes on my laptop. When I connect my iPhone to the laptop, iTunes wants to erase everything in order to start syncing. I want to start syncing with my laptop, not remove all the content already on my phone. I don't want to loose my apps, my contacts, bascially everything on my iPhone.
    What can I do? I appreciate for your help
    Best!

    See the excelent user tip by wjosten: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    In short, you can't. But, you can do it in a way that minimizes what information will be lost, if any.

    I am wating to put song onto my phone that are on the Itunes on my Mac but it isn't letting me add the songs. How do i change it so that my phone syncs with my mac and not my old computer?

    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.

  • HT4623 how do i get an iphone to sync to my computer? It does not read when i connect it and it does make a connection sound but my ipod touch has no problem with the same charger.

    and my iphone is not syncing either

    Try restarting your iPhone, then the computer, then if that doesnt work, try plugging the cord into a different usb outlet. This works for my nano because my laptops outlets are cheap... Hope it helps! if all else fails, ur warrenty will cover it. no worries.

    Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.  However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
    If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.
