HT4972 How do you sync a device to a different pc?

How do I update a device to iOS5 or later to a different pc without losing media content? The original pc I first connected to the device no longer exists.

You will need to update the computer with the media and other content that you have. Check this document prepared by another user about what happens when you no longer have the computer you normally sync with https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How do you sync an iPhone to two different computers?

    I just got my iPhone and was adding music to it, but I have my music on two different computers, both of which I have songs I want to add to my iPhone. I was just wondering if there is a way to sync music from two different computers without having to transfer all my music to one computer?

    iTunes includes a backup to disc feature with an option to backup content purchased from the iTunes Music Store only or all iTunes content - burned to CD.
    You can do this and then transfer your backed up iTunes data to the other computer.
    The iPhone was not designed nor intended to be a backup device or a transfer device of iTunes content from one computer to another as Ansuz82 provided to prevent music piracy.
    It is always the few that would abuse such a feature if available that spoils it for the majority that wouldn't.

  • HT1414 How do I sync my device to a different device's library?  Do I have to restore to factory settings and start over? Or, is there a simpler process where i can just select the library/device that I want to sync with?

    Is there an easier way other than restoring to factory settings and starting over?

    Open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want, sync.
    No need to restore.  Just sync.  It will erase the current content and replace with the content of the new computer.

  • How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

    I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

  • HT4918 How do you sync your IPad with apple tv?

    How do you sync an iPad 2 with apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can't sync an iPad with an Apple TV, maybe you mean AirPlay.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPhone 4s, double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

    How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
    When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
    Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
    Thanks.

    You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device

  • How do I sync old devices to a new iMac without our old iTunes library? Our orig iMac died with the library on it.

    Our old iMac died and we got a new one. The problem is that our entire iTunes library was on the old iMac and all of our iPads and iPhones were synced to the old dead iMac. How do we sync the devices to the new iMac now?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    no, syncing with itunes works one way, from the itunes to the devices. so whatever is on the itunes and selected to sync over is what will sync onto ur device.

    I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
    Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?
