I didn't sync my new iPhone 5 to a computer before using it, now that I want to it says I have to delete everything, does it mean just my music or apps and photos too?
After using my new iPhone 5 for a few months I tried to sync it to my computer but it said I had to wipe it first, I don't know if it means everything or just the music. Half of my music transferred to my iTunes library and the other half I can get through iCloud so it's the apps and photos I'm worried about. Will they be wiped too? If so, how do I transfer the photos I took before activating photo stream onto my photo stream? I'm going away on vacation tonight so please answer ASAP! Any help appreciated, thank you!!
The iPhone will only sync potentially copyrighted information from one computer, music, movies, and photos (synced to the iPhone from a computer). It will not delete the photos you have taken on the iPhone, which are in the Camera Roll.
To sync everything to your computer, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
See this for help setting up iCloud -> Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Have fun on your vacation!

I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs. Just got the iPhone. If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will I lose my songs or will they automatically sync to my phone.
When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres. See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

Do i have to charge my new iphone for 12 hours before using it?
Hi I am worried about my battery, I was told that i had to charge it for 12 hour in a row before I started using my Iphone 4s is. Is it true? What if i didn't do it?
No. Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. Just start using your phone, charge whenever you like, there is no memory affect & you can't overcharge. Read more here:

Hello.
I do not know what happened but I used to be able to take a photo from Lightroom 2 and do any minor final edits in PSCS3 and do them all right there on the image that would open up. I don't need to or want to do layer upon layer for the minor changes that I am doing, ie: remove telephone wire, or gum on ground plus a little dodge and burning. Now that I have to do a new layer for each thing I need it has become a nightmare and is sucking up my editing time. How do I get PS back to where I can do this all in one shot? I view my image with Legacy and sample with all layers - oh for example if I go to clone something and it is not the new layer I get the colors of orange and grey that come up from where I use the tool. I am on Mac OSX 10.5.7 and all was working fine until I synced my new iphone with the computer.
Thanks for your help.
JulienSounds like a variation of this:

I have problems syncing my new iPhone 5 to iTunes. I read somewhere to disable iPhotos and that has allowed me to sync but my photos are not on my iPhone. How can I fix this?
Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?
If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?
All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process. -
How can I unsync my old iphone and sync my new iphone to my macbook
I'm trying to unsync my old iphone 3s (I think it's that) from itunes, I have looked at itunes to see if there is a symbol to unsync, but the directions I have followed seem to show a different itunes than the one I have, I've tried to update to the newest itunes but cannot and think this might be the problem. When I plug in my new iphone 4s there is no symbol to sync either. I've tried removing music, apps and photo's from the old iphone but this still did not unsync it, there was some remaining data left and I cannot find a symbol that would allow me to completely delete all information. Could you tell me how to sync my new iphone so that I can download apps and music from itunes? thanks.
You'll have to update to 10.6.8 first, then even further if you want all options.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes to my computer and when I sync my new iphone, it says it is syncing but doe not pull the music in my library. Can anyone assist me in figuring out how to sync my iphone? The computer that has my current music library is old so I want to get it synced before it dies...
Download what applications?
Apps in iTunes do not run on computers.
What is the exact error and where specifically is it occurring? -
Got new Iphone and labtop with Windows 7.
Now can only find the old purchased music via old phone in Purchase History.
How can I get the purchased files into Music list in Itunes, in order to sync with new Iphone ?Go to the iTunes app on your iPhone. On the bottom tap Purchased. Once that loads, choose the Artist you just downloaded, then the album, then click the cloud icon. This will download the music to your iPhone and will not charge you for it.

i have an iphone 5 and my dad has iphone 5s , we want to interchange the phones . how can i exchange the data , contacts , apps and photos ?
Make sure to have a backup of each device, then use the backup to restore the phone after you have set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Check this article about the content of the backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
Don't forget to deactivate the Activation Lock on both phones:

Abbreviated sync sometimes only does apps and photos - not contacts or iCal
I have noticed recently that sync, which was fine for a long time, now often seems to work but goes very fast and only backs up and then does music, apps and photos (which have no changes). It does not seem even to attempt iCal or contacts (which do). This seems normally to be when the iPhone has changes but the Macbook does not.
Simply clicking on the 'sync' button will eventually trigger a proper sync, but this may take several gos (often I still get an abbreviated sync) and seems odd anyway. Behaviour is eventually fine and the clocks are synced of course (& settings are normal and static).
Any ideas?Did you reset the phone and see if there's any different behavior?
Did you try to reset iSync history?
