Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

    I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • HT4236 So if I update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music on my phone?

    So if i update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music..correct? None of these things are saved on my computer [except some of the music]...

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would any digital camera.  this is covered in the manual.

    You should transfer all itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases.

    It's in recovery mode. Anything that was on the phone and not already backed up is already gone.  You have no choice but to restore.

  • ITunes w/ iPod touch 2d gen & iPhone 4S... ?

    I learned that my iPod touch 2d gen 32gb will no longer be supported, during the same week that I learned I am eligible for a phone upgrade. After doing a bunch of research, (I can't believe I'm saying this) I'm thinking iPhone 4S 16gb. It would be my first iPhone.
    Is this utterly stupid?
    In the time I've owned my iPod touch, iTunes has wiped it so often, and eaten ITSELF so many times, that since winter 2009 I have developed some anxiety about sync'ing, and about using iTunes generally. Like, I cringe everytime I touch the connector, and my palms hurt when I plug it into the device. I have kept the software up to date. Perhaps this is the problem?
    Does anyone out there use an old iPod touch and a new iPhone (4S) with the same instance of iTunes and the same Apple account? Does it work? Is it a nightmare?
    I know that these software/hardware relationships are crazy complicated, but I can't shake the feeling that Apple either doesn't take our data seriously, or needs to come up with a 'thief-identification' algorithm that knows the difference between a messed-up software update and a copyright/license infringer/violator.
    What I'm reading on the boards and hearing in meatspace about the iPhone and sync'ing with iTunes, is the opposite of reassuring.

    My question is about version compatibility. The question again, minus the chattiness:
    My iPod touch = 2nd gen, meaning, it's a 2008 device, meaning: no iOS 5. Will it still sync with the newest version of iTunes?
    I might be getting the iPhone 4S. A 2011 device. Which runs on iOS5 and needs the newest version of iTunes.
    Is there a way I'll be able to sync these two chunks of hardware, of radically disparate ages/generations with the same instance of iTunes?

  • ITunes is prompting me to update my iTouch (4th Gen.) to iOS 5, but it will erase all media. Is there a way to backup the music on my iTouch that was not purchased via iTunes? How do you back up media, if it is even possible?

    I no longer have access to my other music. My computer crashed a month ago, and I did not have my newest music files backed-up anywhere else. I really don't want to lose that music.

    I upgraded to version 5 on my IPad Wifi64 and now I can't find my music or podcasts, etc.  I don't want or need to upload everything to a cloud.  Does anyone know how I get to my music and stuff? 
    Oh...I can see the music when I connect to my computer.  I'm hoping that Apple isn't acting like Microsoft and eliminating features to push people towards something they want...like access to your information...or for you to only have things you buy from them.  Hopefully I'm over thinking it and there is simple answer...anyone know the answer?

  • Itunes says ipod touch is an iphone?

    well I just bought my touch about two weeks ago, and it was working fine. but two days ago when I plugged it in, itunes said 'could not connect iphone'
    and then my touch just restarts (the black screen with the apple logo in the middle appears). it keeps doing that ever time i connect it to my computer. But once the touch restarts it goes back to normal, and itunes can read it again. And i know this isnt normal. someone plz help!?
    _<</div>

    Done a restore yet?
    Is it charged up?
    Is it convenient for you to get to an Apple store for help, or to do an exchange for another unit?
    Good luck,

  • HT4061 Hi I tried to upgrade Itunes and it says if I proceed I will lose all media

    I need help as I tried to upgrade Itunes and my phone has a picture on it of ITunes and a plug in.  I can't open anything

    Your phone is in recovery mode.  All data on it are already gone.  You need to connect your phone to your computer via USB and restore in iTunes. 
    If you've been smart and using your phone as recommended, all your data should have been recently backed up so data loss should be neglibible.

  • When i try to download a "free" app for my ipod touch, it wants credit card billing info? a "free"" app is just that isn't it? How do I resolve this guys/gals? any advice?

    when i try to download a "free" app for my ipod touch, it wants credit card billing info? a "free"" app is just that isn't it? How do I resolve this guys/gals? any advice?  P.S. I don't use credit cards.

    You normally need to provide some sort of payment method (in part as proof of residence in the country) before you can get even the free apps. It is possible to set up a new iTunes Store account just for free apps, but you have to create a new Apple ID; you cannot use an existing one. If you want to do that, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note again that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
