HT4847 iTunes said that if i want to sync my iPhone to my new macbook that it will delete everything. Will iCloud still keep my stuff?
I just got a new macbook and i want to sync my iphone to it but when i do that itunes tells me that it will delete my everything because im already hooked up to my desktop. I googled a way to transfer my itunes over by using a flashdrive but my desktop broke down. i was wondering if it really will delete everything. if so is this there where icloud comes to my recue?
Welcome to the Apple Community Kate.
It will only delete your synced content, which you can then resync, it won't affect your iCloud data.

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 everythingThe 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. -
If I want to sync my iPhone to my new MacBookPro that was previously synced with a different computer, will it erase everything from my iPhone?
Yes, unless you first transfer a copy of your iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

My old macbook is destroyed. I need to sync my iphone with my new macbook, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be easy considering I would need to be able to access my old macbook. Is anyone sure of how to do this without losing all my music, pictures, apps, etc?
Should not matter.
Why post here when there is MacBook and iPhone as well as iTunes forums and support.

bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?
You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. -
I must reinstall iTunes almost every time I want to sync my iphone. Why?
On the Mac - OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.4 -it works for a couple of times connecting the device (iPad or iPhone), then no more.
You'll have to do it by process of elimination. Sign into the iTunes Store through the App Store app, go to the Purchased section, and look at the list of apps purchased through your own Apple ID. Anything on your iPhone not in that list isn't yours and should be deleted. The same process would apply to content from the iTunes Store.
Or you can just restore the iPhone from your most recent backup and then redownload everything from the iTunes Store. But if you have a lot of apps or content, that obviously wlll be slow.
I updated my iphone by his ID , is it still problem?
That's probably how you got your friend's purchases. It won't be an issue for iOS, but it is an issue for those apps and content.

HT201270 I want to sync my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air, seems simple enough...
I am having trouble syncing my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air. I thought all I had to do was connect my USB cable to the iPhone and to my lapatop and voila, it wound sync, but I guess not. Any ideas?
I didn't get any message, that was what surprised me. However I went to turn off my computer and I received a message saying it was syncing and that it would stop if I turned off my computer. I had lauched iTunes, shouldn't I have seen some messge? I thought I would see the iPhone on the desktop too. Thanks for your help.

I am trying to sync my iphone 4s with my new macbook pro and it says that i need to erase the content because i am connected to another itunes store, which i am but i dont know if i want to erase my content.... any sugustions???
"would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
No.
"The computer it is synced to is a dell"
So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer. You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.
