HT2204 Syncing older IPhone apps with new MacBookPro

I recently bought a MacBookPro and am trying to sync my IPhone. It tells me it will delete 9 apps (but they don't tell me which apps they are) on my phone unless I can authorize my new Mac using a password for an email address I haven't used in over five years and won't accept my birthdate as an answer used as a security question
Without knowing which apps they are, I can't delete them and repurchase or reinstall them
Any work arounds for this would be greatly appreciated

The apps will be 'nuked' - at least, you can redownload them for free.

    Yes, unless you first transfer a copy of your iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

  • Syncing iPhone Apps with New Computer- avoid erasing old apps?

    My old laptop was recently stolen, and I just replaced it. However, when syncing my iPhone to the new computer, all music was lost. No problem, I had a backup on my iPod/external drive, hurrah.
    However, I did not backup the .ipx files for the applications. Do I need to redownload all the apps, or is there a way to sync it to the new computer without nuking all the old apps (and the stored data/settings)? Thank you!

  • Sync existing Iphone/Ipad with new library

    alright ,
    first of all , sorry i'm asking a question that probably already haves bin answered before ... but i"m not finding the perfect one at the time (answer)
    this is the question , i work for a IT company (small scale) , and at a regular base we have customers with iphones and ipads , myself i'm having both so ...
    mostly of the time , we sell new computers to our customers (sorry , no imac's , mostly our customers are used to windows ...) and that comes with an issue i'm not yet found an answer to ...
    so , the customer have's a iphone with data (photo's , music , apps , etc ) or ipad , that syncs to his old computer.
    we sell the new one , install it , and the customer asks to sync his existing iphone , with existing data on it , to its new library ...
    but then , when you plug in the iphone , the first question you get is if you want to sync to the new library , with result of loosing all data that current on the phone/pad ...
    NO , i don't want that , and thats why i started this topic , i wan't someone to explain me if its possible to just move the data from the phone to the new pc ...
    for the record , ussualy its from XP to Win7 ...
    thnx in advance

    My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 5 with new computer?

    I just sold my computer to my friend, but need to sync my iphone with a new computer. I have a lot of information on it that I don't want to lose, especially voice notes. I don't want to loose anything on my phone, just transfer iTunes libraries.
    I tried to sync it and a pop up window came up with the Erase and Sync option. If I back up my iphone, where can I access the file? I need to take the voice notes from my phone and put them into individual files on Finder.
    thanks!!!

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • I synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?

    i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?

    how do i get them on my new mac now?
    Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily  be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo  Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well.  Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
    Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically".  Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

  • Hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everything

    hi i need help
    hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everything

    The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
    In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

  • Sync iPhone 4 with new Mac installation

    I've just replaced the hard drive in my MacBook Pro with a fresh new OS 10.6.8 installation.  The old drive is still accessible via a USB external case.
    I did not use Migration Assistant, as I didn't want to inherit any mess from the old system, and MA's options seem extremely unrefined - most checkboxes are very non-explicit about what it will migrate.
    I have transferred all music, book and app files to the new iTunes from the old.  My new iTunes is logged into the same iTunes account as the old.
    I've manually set up Apple Mail, but my Address Book is currently waiting for contacts, and iCal is also empty, which I presumed I could sync directly from my iPhone.
    But I would like to re-sync my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes WITHOUT erasing the phone.  I have many hours worth of user configuration data within my many apps - favourites in GPS apps, saved game settings, documents in reader apps etc.
    From everything I've read, this seems impossible!  The new iTunes installation insists on erasing the phone.  SURELY this can't be true.  How do I store my phone in it's current form and retain all current data and settings?
    Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal) on your computer. These 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.
    You should be good to go.

  • After I synced my iphone (4S with ios 8.1.2) using itunes with MS outlook on my new PC , suddenly all my contacts without telephone number and what I have the name of the contact only ?

    After I synced my iphone (4S with ios 8.1.2) using itunes with MS outlook on my new PC , suddenly all my contacts without telephone number and what I have the name of the contact only ?

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

    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.
    Do this:
    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.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

    Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
    My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks
