I am trying to sync my iPhone to my new macbook pro and it says that it is synced with another iTunes store which it is... is there any way i don't have to delete my content?

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.

  • How do i sync my iPhone to a new macbook pro and start a new apple ID?

    Ok, so I just go a new macbook pro for college, and what I am trying to do is sync my iphone with my new computer and get all my music etc onto the new mac. But i also want to start a new apple ID.  I previously have had my iphone synced on the family's imac under the family apple id. Now i want to sync that iphone onto my computer and also start my own apple ID linked to my iphone and computer.
    I can't figure out how to do this without having to reset the iphone.
    ( I already created the new ID)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • How do i sync my iphone to my new Macbook pro?

    I recently just purchased a new Macbook Pro and i'd like to be able to sync my iphone to it and use it as my main computer.  Whenever i try to sync it though it says that it has to erase all my content.  This wouldnt be a problem since i backed up my phone on the Macbook and i did Home sharing from my other computer, so all my music, movies, and apps are on my Mac, but im worried its going to mess up all my data on my iphone.  Is it going to erase my contacts, calander events, text conversations, settings, pics, and/or saved data on apps?  If someone could tell me everything that happens when i click erase all data, as well as a possible alternative way of syncing my iphone, i would be very thankful.

    Follow this article How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    In short: Disable autosync, set up at least one contact and event on your Mac, back up manually, tranfer your purchases, sync and let it get erased, restore from the manual backup you made.

  • Help with syncing my Iphone to my new Macbook pro!

    Okay, so I wasn't sure whether to put this in with the iPhone questions or the macbook pro questions but here goes anyways;
    So just yesterday I received my macbook pro. My computer before was a Dell, this is really besides the point, but if I am trying to figure my best route to getting the information (music, contacts, etc.) onto my new mac. I am afraid to just plug my iPhone in, because I don't want it to wipe my phone.
    If i plug my phone in, will this happen? I'm just not really sure what to do right now. Thank you!

    I'm in a similar situation as the OP. Laptop crashed, lost access to my iTunes library. Got a new Mac, repopulated the new library with all my music, audiobooks, etc. Thing is, my iPhone contains only a few hundred of the tens of thousands of songs in my library, almost all of which were ripped from my CD collection (yeah, I'm old) rather than having been purchased through iTunes, so Restore Purchases won't do me much good.
    I'm really not interested in having to redo the years-long winnowing process of choosing which music from my collection to put back onto my phone once I sync it to my new machine and library. Nor am I interested in dropping thirty bucks or so on third-party backup software. And I'm *really* not interested in being told that I cannot manage my music, on my devices, with my computer, without having to start from scratch.
    So the original question stands: It's not about whether I can sync my iPhone to a new library without losing the media I've put on the phone, but How. To. Do. It. Is there a way to create an index or playlist of what's on the phone prior to the initial sync such that iTunes will restore only those files from the library after it slicks the phone?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I tried to sync my iPhone 4S to new work laptop and it keeps buzzing, won't sync

    I just got a new Dell laptop for work and installed iTunes.  When I hooked up my iPhone 4S to my laptop, Windows first showed that it was installing some driver and then iTunes opened, and then my phone just kept repeat buzzing.  I noticed the battery icon & bluetooth icon at the top right of phone screen kept flickering.  I opened Control Panel-Device Manager-Bluetooth Devices and a Bluetooth Mobile Device icon would pop up and then disappear repeatedly.
    I tried disabling the Bluetooth driver, and then disconnected and re-connected my phone - iTunes opened up again but I still got the repeat buzzing, and an error message that iTunes could not connect to phone.
    I still have my old laptop and it connects and syncs my phone no problem.
    Not sure what is the problem or what to do next?
    I'm guessing my IT dept will just tell me that they don't support iTunes and that I'm on my own with this issue.

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • I'm unable to sync my iPhone to my new MacBook Pro.

    I bought a MacBook Pro two days ago, and I'm trying to sync my iPhone 4s. It goes through all 6 steps on iTunes, but then a notification pops up and says the required disk cannot be supported. I'm not very 'savvy' with Macs, so I have no clue what this means or what to do. Thanks for any help.

  • Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? Is there any way to have a playlist open in a new window?

    Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? I'm used being able to open a playlist in a separate window in order to browse through my music and easily drag and drop tracks into the playlist (in a separate window). It also meant that I could search and play the contents of my main library and just drag and drop into a large space AND easily hit the stop button and instantly hit the pay button to just start a new tune from a new playlist. Now you can only press pause / play / pause and so on. If I want to view the contents of a playlist while listening to another I need to navigate to it which takes me away from what I'm doing in the other. It just makes for a lot of clicking and navigating around the houses when I used to be able to have multiple windows.
    I'm an avid music fan and just love organising my music to make finding / listening to my favourites eaiser.
    Maybe I'm just a bit thick and not using the software correctly, but it seems that a lot of handy features have been either removed or replaced with inferior ones (at least for me anyway). I appreciate that probably for most generic general music goers this isn't an issue, but for me it is.
    A rather long winded way of asking if anybody knows if it's possible to have multi-windows open, but also a chance to have a public moan about a great piece of software that has been updated and gone backwards - a bit like the iPhone google / apple maps situation!

  • Help I have a brand new Mc Pro and it says that it cannot save on the Mac (nor on the usb flash drive or external drive)

    i do not understand
    on top of it it says that the HD is corruptet and asks for the max OS whatsoever to start the computer on it
    but i do not have anything like that and i received my computer by mail in its box without anything else
    did anybody experienced something like this pb
    and if so what is the solution
    this mac drives me crazy
    it should be something simple and it is more fussy and less reliable than my old PC and twice the price

    merci de la reponse ultra rapide
    en fait les choses sont plus longues que ca
    je suis PC depuis presque toujours et je me suis laissee betement vanter la simplicite (?) de Mac
    ce qui m'avait plu initialement dans le MC Pro etait la qualite de l'ecran et le conforte de clavier mais ca fait beaucoup de crises de nerfs pour finalement un ecran geant( 15)
    depuis un an je l'utilise un peu et a chaque fois je perds un temps infini et donc je le remise pour plusieurs mois car je retourne vers mon PC car finalement ca vaplus vite et mieux
    le pb est le suivant
    je travaillais sur un fichier Word (j'utilise les configurations office pour ne pas etre trop perdue) et j'ai voulu l'enregistrer quand le Mac dit
    "impossible d'"ecrire sur marie (nom du DD° car il est sature  ou enregistrez sur un autre disque "
    a partir de ce moment je farfouille dans le Mac (pas simple de trouver comment explorer le DD et trouve qu'il reste plus de 400 G donc pas de soucis
    mais que l'ordi refuse de sauvergarder aussi sur cle et sur dd externe qu'il reconnaissait auparavant
    en plus  lors de la verification du disque il confirme l'espace disponilble mais dit que le disque est corrompu (????????????) et qu'il faut      le redemarrer avec Mac OS (c'est quoa) que je n'ai evidemment pas car l'ordi est arrive tout seul et tout equipe avec les logiciels commandes dedans dans sa boite mais il n y avait pas de disqque cd comme au bon vieux temps
    voici ce que dit le disque
    je lance une verification de disque et ildit
    le disque est corrompu
    " le disque necessite une reparation .demarrez votre ordi depuis un autre disque (tel que votre disque d'installation Mac Os X ) puis ouvrez utilitaie pour reparer ce disque
    MAIS JE N AI PAS MAC OS Bidule !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    c'est insupportable de ne rien comprendre a un objet qui devait etre fait (d'apres la pub) pour un enfant de 5 ans
    merci si vous comprenez quelque chose a ces noeuds de Mac
    bien cordialement
