New PC: how can I sync my Iphone with a new PC without loosing data?
I have an old Windows Vista PC with Itunes.
I want to sync my iPhone4 with a new Windows 8 PC.
I only sync music and video with the iphone and itunes, NOT email adress contacts, etc (I do not want to mix and mingle all my contacts on PC and phone).
I DO want to take all the contacts to the new itunes.
Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
Anyone any advice how to do this simple thing which is made super complex by Apple? Thanks.
( @ Apple: Apple engineers and Apple marketing should be ashamed that there is no simple way to do this, and there is no simple and clear information on the apple website for this !!!)Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
To what do you sync your contacts? Icloud? Other service?

Correct. The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
It should be very simple. Everything should be on your computer, or cloud service. The itunes simply allows your information from your computer, cloud service to be protable.
Copy everything to the new computer, then sync. -
is there a way doing that without any complications?
You will not be able to transfer music not purchased from iTunes from your phone to your computer, or any photos that you may have transferred to your phone from your computer (i.e., Photo Library photos) without using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy. (You may want to re-rip your CDs to your new iTunes library and use an app like PhotoSync to transfer Photo Library photos as a more cost-effective solution.) After dealing with that, the procedure to follow to establish syncing with your new computer without losing other date is outlined here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the original data
How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the app data?
You must first sync the iPhone with the old Mac as you normally do, then move the entire iTunes Library from the old Mac to the new one.
An iPhone can only be synced with one computer at a time. When you first sync the iPhone with the new Mac, you will "erase and sync". This will erase the entire phone first, then sync it with the content you moved from the old Mac.

HT1267 how do i sync my iphone with my new imac? i had it synced to a macbook before.
how do i sync my iphone with my new imac? i had it synced to a macbook before.
Hi,
Give this a try:
First, connect your phone to your MacBook and let it backup to save your data on your Mac. (How to back up)
Next, copy your iTunes library folder to your new iMac. The location: Macintosh HD/user/music/iTunes
Your applications can be downloaded again for free. Downloading past purchases.
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes. -
Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it? ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -
How do I sync an iPhone to a new computer?
Ok so I have a Mac with my own user account and itunes, iphone and ipad etc.
My partner was using her windows laptop for syncing her itunes for her iphone.
She has now created a user account on my mac to use instead of her laptop. To enable us to have the same music library I have moved the itunes folder into the 'shared' folder so both libraries have the same music.
The part when I am stuck is syncing her iphone to the new itunes library on my mac as the usual 'erase and synce' mesage appears. How can I ensure that all apps, messages etc are not lost in the transfer process?
I have made a back up on her laptop itunes but am unsure of what to do next. I have read that you can just copy the whole old itunes folder from one computer to another and that will work fine, but as I have moved the music to the shared folder I am not sure it will work if I move all of this over.
Any help would be great as it's starting to drive me mad!If your old hard drive works, you can put it in an external usb enclosure and copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer. Otherwise, if you have to copy music from your phone to your computer that wasn't purchased from the iTunes store you'll have to use 3rd party to do so, such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).

How do you sync an iPhone with a new computer?
I know this question has been posted on this forum countless times, but none of the responses seemed to help me. I need a simple and clear answer on how to sync my iPhone to a new computer. I used to sync my iPhone with a Mac, but I got a new laptop running Windows 8 and I want to sync my iPhone with this new laptop. All the responses on this site tell me to download some sort of software to extract the data from my iPhone, but none of them seem to be free. My old Mac is still intact, so I can still use it if I need to. All of this is really confusing. Sorry if I'm being really ignorant about all of this, I just really need some help.
Welcome to the discussions,
a manual backup should help to transfer your data and apps.
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing and save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to the new itunes library.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer your purchases the same way by choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored again from the manual backup you made before.
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

Apps can be downloaded again for free, in case you missed some: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
