Most likely.
Move the data from the old computer to the new computer. This in no way involves the use of an iDevice.

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. -
Will syncing my iPhone 4 to a new computer erase all of my photos and text messages?
I recently got a new laptop and didn't transfer my iTunes over from the old one. Now if I sync my iPhone to the new iTunes library, I'm afraid all of my pictures and text messages will be deleted. I don't care if my apps and music are deleted, I can redownload them. I just need to know will my pictures and messages be gone as well?

Why not? Should you have done so, you would not be in this predicament.

How to sync an iPhone 4 with a New Computer?
I have a broken Windows Vista laptop, an iPhone 4 with broken WIFI, and a new Windows 7 PC.
I'd like to backup the data on my iPhone somewhere, but the wireless iCloud backups won't work because my phone has no WIFI, and the old laptop I used to use no longer works.
So, does anyone know of a way to get my phone synced up with the new computer without erasing everything on it?Thanks! I bought the backup app for Windows and gave it a shot, but ran into some issues:
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your iTunes library).
This option isn't in the File menu, there's a "Transfer Purchases from iPod" that's disabled/not clickable, but there's never been an iPod plugged into this computer or attached to my iTunes/Apple account.
6. Right click your phone in the left device pane & select "Reset warnings".
7. Right click again and select "Backup".
These aren't options either, just "Eject" and "Restore from backup" are listed in the right-click menu.
8. Right click again & select "Restore from Backup", select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
I'm never prompted to create another backup.
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".
When the process completes, the phone reboots and the same exact "Set Up Your iPhone" screen is present, and there's no option to sync anywhere.
The phone appears to have been wiped and restored correctly though. I took a picture after the initial backup using the 3rd party app to be able to tell if the data's been wiped or not. It's just not in sync with iTunes yet. -
Is there a way to sync my IPhone 4s to a new computer WITHOUT losing all of my 300 songs?
I recently moved and my old computer is no longer here. All of my songs are still on my IPhone 4s, but whenever I try to sync my phone to this new computer, it wants to delete all of my songs. A solution would be amazing

Sync my iPhone 3G with a new computer...
My iPhone has been lagging not loading things not allowing me to access the menu while on the phone and freezing. When I talked to an AT&T rep. they told me to try updating the software and since I had gotten a new computer I plugged it in and next thing I know it did a full restore. All of my pictures and contacts are now gone!
Is there any way at all to restore everything? There were a lot of important pictures I had not gotten around to backing up yetIf you did a full restore and had no backup, they're gone.
I do sympathise, really, but people have got to learn not to leave important stuff on a phone with no backup. Your phone could have been dropped, lost, run over, drowned, stolen at any time.
And restoring is the standard way out of trouble, so if you have a technical problem, there's a very good chance that you'll be told to do it.
Sorry - I'm not trying to make you feel worse, just hoping that others might get the message -
How can I sync my iPhone/iPad to a new computer without losing data on the devices?
I have the itunes home sharing set up. I have 2 different laptops, each with it's own iTunes on it, and each has it's own library. I have my iPad and iPhone synced to Laptop #1, but this laptop is old and I want to sync my devices to Laptop #2. I've used the home sharing to transfer the songs, videos, etc to move everything from the iTunes on Laptop #1 to the iTunes on Laptop #2. But when I connected my devices to Laptop #2, I got the message saying that my devices were synced to a different iTunes and they can only be synced with 1 iTunes at a time. It warned me if I synced to Laptop #2, I would lose the data on my device, and the data on the iTunes of Laptop #2 would be transferred.
I don't want to lose any of the data on my devices, but I want to sync to Laptop #2. How can I do this? Any help is appreciated, thanks!Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

I bought my wife a Mac book air to replace her windows lap top and want to sync her IPhone 3GS to her new computer. The phone is currently synced to a machine running windows xp. Is this possible ?
Did a bit more research on this and moving iTunes isn't enough. You will only get the iTunes library and not data like contacts, etc. You should take both computers to the apple store. They will migrate your data from one to the other for you.

After reinstallation of Outlook 2010 on my Laptop, Contacts and Calendar did not appeared while they are exist in my iphone 5 by using icloud. What I should do to get Contacts and Calendars in sync with iphone 5?
Thank you.So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.
