If you do not have access to the iTunes Library on your Old computer... or its Backup...

    The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
    In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

    i have just purchased a new laptop as my other one was stolen. all i want to know is if i sync my iphone with the new itunes, will all the stuff on my phone be deleted?
    thanks

    Restore your media from the backup that you keep of your important files and data from your computer.
    If you sync your iPhone to your new computer, it will wipe the media on your iPhone.

  • My old computer crashed. I now need to sync my iphone to a new computer. How can I do this when the iphone is only made to sync to one computer? I tryed transfering a cd and it would not let me help

    My computer crashed and i need to use a different computer. I downloaded itunes but i was not able to transfer a cd. how can i sync a new computer  to my phone????

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old comptuer to your new one.
    Sync your iphone. 
    It will delete the current content from your iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • I need to sync my iPhone to my new computer.  How do I do that? My phone has not backed up to the icloud in weeks

    I have tried to sync my phone to my new computer.  I get the message about erasing my phone and downlading everything from my library.  My phone has not connected to the cloud in many weeks, so I assume my cloud to library is NOT up to date and I don't want to erase until then.  What are my options? 
    I also need to figure out why my phone does not back up to cloud.

    Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

  • How to sync my iPhone to my new laptop without losing my data

    I have a new lap top I need to connect my iPhone to.  It states when I do, it will replace my phone with the new itunes which is empty.  How do I transfer apps and info from my iphone to the itunes on my new lap top.

    After tinkering for flipping ages I've finally found the best way to do this. It's not really that hard now I think back to all of the fuss I made figuring this out.
    1. You want to move your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer.
    You need to buy a hardrive or a USB pen (cheap ones are available). You need to do this because you are going to copy your whole iTunes folder and place it in this new hardrive or pen drive. Locate your iTunes folder in your old computer's files and copy it. Make sure you copy the whole iTunes folder and not just the library or something. Now just paste the folder into your plugged in hardrive.
    NOTE: If you dont have a pen drive or external hardrive then you can make this step cheaper. To do this check the size of your iTunes folder by right clicking on it and looking at its properties. Then buy as small a hardrive as possible that can fit your iTunes folder into it.
    Safely unplug your hardrive and connect it to your new computer. You should have a folder for music that was there when you got your computer so copy and paste your iTunes into this music folder. Now when you open up yur iTunes programme you should see all your old songs and playlists in there.
    2. Syncing your iPod or whatever you have.
    Just plug in the iPod like usual. Since you have copied your whole iTunes the setting should already allow your iPod to sync. If your iPod isn't syncing then click on your device on the sidebar on the left. Now you will see buttons to click on at the top of the screen such as 'Music' or 'Films'. Click on these and make sure the 'Sync Music' or 'Sync Films' box is ticked.

  • My laptop was stolen how can I re-sync my iphone to the new laptop without losing all of my data?

    Hi to all,
    I hope someone can help me.  I know this question has been asked in various formats but I can't seem to find exactly what I am looking for, so please forgive me if this type of question is asked again.
    My laptop was stolen a few months ago and I have finally been able to replace it.  The common issue of course is that I can only sync it to one iTunes library at a time, which was on my laptop that some thief is currently enjoying the use of.
    I don't have a lot of money so all of my backups were on the stolen laptop as I don't have an external hard drive.  I understand you can authorize iTunes or the iPhone to go on upto 5 computers at a time?
    As soon as I plugged in my phone (on the new laptop) I created a backup of everything on there using iTunes.  I guess my question is, if I plug in my iphone and ask it to restore from back up, will it wipe the phone and replace it with the first back up on the new laptop or will it still delete everything altogether as the original content is not on the new laptop?
    As much as it would be a pain, the music content is the least of my concern.  It's more a case of making sure I keep my contacts, photos and purchases from the app store.  I have read somewhere that you can transfer your purchases but I'm not sure how to do this.
    I really hope someone can help and apologies for the repeat topic!
    Thanks in advance to any who take the time to read and reply, I will appreciate any input/insight you may be able to provide.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I sync my iphone to a new laptop without losing my information?

    Hi,  I have an older macbook pro that I have been syncing my iphone, and three ipods to for a long time.  I have a new macbook pro and want to use it for the sync instead.  How do I do that without it erasing my devices?

    Another way if you still have access to your Old Mac...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • Old laptop died, syncing an iPhone 4s to new laptop without losing data.

    Hi, my laptop recently died, I have an iphone 4s thats about a month old and never made a backup to my external HD before the laptop broke. I have my music library saved to the external HD from a couple of months ago, but no back up of the phone itself. I don't want to lose things like my contacts, pictures and messages when synching to my new laptop- is there any way to avoid this happening? Would using the iCloud feature help to avoid this, as I am unsure if it will.
    Also with the laptop breaking unexpectedly I didn't de-authorize the laptop for itunes, will this effect things?
    Thanks for any help.

    Just because the laptop "died" does not mean the harddrive is dead.  Unless the harddrive actually failed, it should be possible to simply extract it and put it into a drive case to access the data.
    Then the iTunes folder can be copied to the new system and salvage everything.
    If that is not possible, contacts should be synced with a supported application on the computer or to a cloud service.  Unless you are solely dependent upon the iPhone for your contacts, they are not included in the backup.
    All media and apps should be in your backup on your external drive, granted some will not be there.  If you are in the US, the music can be re-downloaded via iCloud.  Apps can always be re-downloaded at no additional cost.

  • HT1386 how to deactivate to sync from old laptop and sync my iphone 4 to new laptop?

    how to deactivate from old laptop so that i can sync my iphone4 to new laptop?

    Copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, along with any synced non-iTunes data such as contacts, calendars and photos synced from your computer to your phone.

  • 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

  • How do I sync my iPhone 5 with new computer?

    I just sold my computer to my friend, but need to sync my iphone with a new computer. I have a lot of information on it that I don't want to lose, especially voice notes. I don't want to loose anything on my phone, just transfer iTunes libraries.
    I tried to sync it and a pop up window came up with the Erase and Sync option. If I back up my iphone, where can I access the file? I need to take the voice notes from my phone and put them into individual files on Finder.
    thanks!!!
