How do i transfer music from iphone 3 to iphone4

Are you moving from the iPhone 3 to the iPhone 4?  If so you should both have the same Apple ID on both which will make this pretty easy.
Start iTunes on your computer and connect your phone using the USB Sync / Dock cable.
Your phone should appear in the left column.
Right Click on the phone name and from the pop up menu select backup.
This should transfer all your media to iTunes.
Click the eject button next to your phone's name to get iTunes to release it.
Connect your iPhone 4 to your computer.
If this is the first time you are syncing your phone after it is set up as a new phone you will want to do a restore from your old phone.
Right click on the phone name and select restore from the pop up menu and select the back up from your iPhone 3.
This will wipe your iPhone 4 and install the content from your 3.
If you have already set up your iPhone 4 you can simply add music to it the same way you did with your iPhone 3.  Either let iTunes copy your library onto your phone or set it up so you can manually manage your music,

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
    Image attached may explain better.

  • How do i backup iphone 3g

    how do i backup iphone 3g without iTune on a new Mac? iTunes wants to do an update before it can sync, but if i do that it will erase everything on it.

    Don't do what xtremecarbon said.
    Do you have access to your previous iTunes library, maybe in a computer backup?
    If not, you'll need some 3rd party software to get your data off your iPhone... try TouchCopy.

    How do I backup my iPhone's App Data to iTunes without having it transfer all my apps to iTunes?

    Hello bjsterilite,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to backup your iPhone. You can choose to exclude certain data, and not sync apps to iTunes. Here is an article which explains the process in greater detail:

  • HT4946 How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.

    How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.

    First you need to authorize your MBA with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. This will transfer/copy all iTunes content on your iPad that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    Photos on your iPad that were transferred from your old computer need to be transferred from your old computer to your MBA.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal if you aren't syncing this content over the air with an iCloud account, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your MBA. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your MBA with iPhoto or the Image Capture application.

    how to create new user on imac

    Hello ryan tate
    You would not be able to access your complete library and only purchased content is to sign in and authorize your Apple ID. If this is a friends computer, the best way to do this is to create a new user to keep your data separate from their data.

  • HT4946 how do I backup pictures from my iphone to my pc?

    I am trying to backup my pictures from my iphone onto my pc. Is this possible without using iTunes or iCloud?

    I asked this question too yesterday.  Right after I asked it though I remembered that you can treat your iphone like a camera.  Using windows multimedia app I was able to download pictures and videos from my iphone.  I've upgraded to windows 8 recently and one of the tiles is labeled "camera".  Other photo software should work as well.  The pentax digital camera I had included software that would recognize and other cameras connected to the USB port. 

  • Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

    After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
    Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
    I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
    I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

    Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
    When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
    The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • How can I backup iphone contacts/email/addresses and transfer them to PC ea

    Hey,guys!!!i have one quick question about my iphone contact backup ...
    I have an iphone that has all my contacts stored in it.... (phone numbers, email, addresses, etc...) and I recently
    bought an new computer, but I don't have any of this information stored in it.
    My question is, how can I sync my iphone with to my PC without erasing the info in the iphone. I don't want my system
    to think that since the PC is empty it should erase every contact in the iphone. I just want to transfer everything
    from iphone and have a copy on PC,especially the contacts.
    Appreciated your early reply.

    Maybe you should go Discussion-Apple to look for what is iTunes user directions about how to backup your iphone.
    Other than there are also a tool called Contacts Tool search iphone applications,and it will help u a lot if u want to transfer the contacts to computer.Like Out2003 or Outlook2007...
    Outlook 2003:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Options.
    2. Click Other and then click Advanced Options.
    3. Select COM add-ins and select the iTunes sync add-in and click OK.
    4. Click Apply and then continue with the steps below.
    Outlook 2007:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Trust Center.
    2. In the Categories pane, click Add-ins.
    3. In the Details pane, locate the iTunes add-in in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" list.
    4. In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    5. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the iTunes sync add-in.
    6. Click OK.
    Besides,if you are always frustrated the directions of iTunes and Outlook.I want to give your advice to try out other professional transfer contact software.As far as i concerned,you can download the [trail version|http://hotdownloads.com/trialware/download/Downloadtanseeiphonecontact_.exe?item=13181-12&affiliate=575053&sscoupon=SOFT-QSTG] of [Tansee iPhone Transfer Contact|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/TanseeiPhone_TransferContact] for free,which can help you back up your iPhone contacts along with contact photos to computer as a file (either txt or antc).
    Hope you have a wonderful time.

  • Computer died..how to sync/backup iPhone 4 to another computer

    my computer that i had first synced my iPhone to has died. I need to sync and backup my phone because I actually need to go to Apple since my wake/sleep button has stopped responding. It is still under warranty so I'm guessing I'll either get it fixed or get a replacement. However, I do not want to go in there without having everything backed up. How do I sync/back up my phone to a new computer without it erasing anything?

    You don't. Iphone will sync itunes content and pics to one computer. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    You need to move everything from your backup copy of your old computer to the new one. Then you can sync the iphone without losing anything, as all of the info will be transferred to the new computer.
