i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how

for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer.

I have had a total meltdown of my system and have had to rebuild my computer because of a lightning strike which took out my main computer and my backup system therefore I do not have a way to restore all of my old files. When I rebuilt my computer I decided to go with Windows 7 rather than staying with Windows Vista when I attach my Apple iPhone to the new computer and tried to sync it, it tells me that it wants to wipe out everything on my phone. My iPhone was backed up to the cloud but I do not see way to restore it from the cloud and I do not want to lose all of my apps and data that are on my iPhone. I have gone to the Apple online store to see if I could restore the apps that I have purchased from their and have not been able to find anything that relates to reinstalling all the apps that I have purchased as well as my bookmarks and addresses as well as a lot of the data in documents to go and do not want to lose them as it is the only place that I have them left. How do I do this without losing all of my apps and data that is on my iPhone?
Please help out of this nightmare and keep me loyal to iPhone.
This has become an all day and night ordeal.

New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

I have changed to new computer and can`t sync ipad music to new library how do i unsync from old one don`t want to loose photo`s and music

when i sync my ipad to my new computer, apple tells me it is synced to a different computer and can only have one, the old computer has died, what can i do i don`t want to loose all my music, as some of it is not recoverable, hope you can help?

Your old computer has died, but surely, since it contained nonrecoverable music, you've made a backup.
Simply move the contents of the iTunes folder in your computer's backup to the iTunes folder on your new computer. You should then be good to go.

I bought a new computer and can't sync my library to my iPod.

My computer crashed so I bought a new machine. I was able to load my library and also pull the files from my old hard drive. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer, it recognizes it and says it's syncing, but when it's finished, the new files aren't on my iPod. I'm a podcast junkie so I like to be able to update it daily. I'm on an iPod Touch and a PC. Any thoughts?
Also, when I imported my files from my old hard drive, I saved them to a folder on my desktop. Is there anything else I would need to do with that?

- Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account(s) used on the iPod?
- Are you syncing or manually managing music?
- In iTunes if you go to Preferences and then go to the Devices tab, what date is show for the iPod backup? Is if before you switched computers?
- Your iPod sees the new computer as a new library/computer and you can only sync to one library. You need to restore you iPod from a backup. If that bacup is hosw in Preferences, restore from that backup.
- If the backup is after you switched computers, you have two options:
--- Try to make a backup by right clicking on the iPd under Devices in iTunes and selecting backup.
--- If you can't make a backu, can you get one from the backup of your old computer. It is located here and yu may have to have show hidden files turned on.

Got a new computer, and can't sync iPhone anymore.

There is music currently saved on my phone that I had in a previous version of iTunes. I transferred all of the music and re-downloaded iTunes when I got a new computer. However, the new version of iTunes doesn't recognize the songs that were already on my iPhone. I can't add new music because I am out of memory, but I can't use iTunes to delete the old music because it doesn't recognize the audio files. Is there a way to delete those files (aside from deleting each individual song maunally)?

You need to transfer the iTunes library from your old computer to your new one. It sounds like you only moved the individual songs, not the library itself
Here is the instructions:

Is the app downloaded on her phone also?

2 iPhones and 1 Computer PLUS can I sync one phone in two places?

Wonderful people of the community... I need some guidance.
My spouse and I both have iPhones now. Can both be synced to the same computer without problems or do I need to create a new account on the computer for my wife? Do I need to create a new iTunes account for her?
Also, is there a way that she can sync her iPhone at our home computer for her contacts, music, videos, etc. on our iMac and then sync it at her office for just the calendar items?
Thanks for your help

"Can both be synced to the same computer"
Yes. My wife and I do this. You can sync as many as you like to one computer. Each is a different device and can be set up to sync whatever you like.
"Also, is there a way that she can sync her iPhone at our home computer for her contacts, music, videos, etc. on our iMac and then sync it at her office for just the calendar items?"
Yes. Disable automatic syncing on both computers - to avoid an accidental sync. Then set the work computer to sync calendar and not to sync anything else ( done via the taps in itunes). Do the same at home, only select to sync everything but calendar.

You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that. If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online. You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well. YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?

Transfer purchases over from your phone to your computer before you sync your apps. See Transferring Purchases for more details.

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
