Yes, it will.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -

Okay, so I got Apple to restore my whole Mac operating system, and it obviously reset all my settings and computer to factory settings. As I now have an iPhone 5 and wanting to backup my iPhone 4, I can't do this as my Mac does not have any recorded backup's from before as they were deleted in the restoration. So i want to plug my iPhone 4 in to back it up. The main question is if I plug my iPhone 4 in, will it erase everything? and if so, how do i prevent this from happening as I have very important data on my iPhone 4 i can't lose.
Thanks
Georgia!Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased. -
If I want to sync my iPhone to my new MacBookPro that was previously synced with a different computer, will it erase everything from my iPhone?

If you do a restore on the ipod, it only affects the ipod. Everything on the ipod is erased, but itunes and everything in itunes and on your computer will still be there.
The restore will only erase you ipod. -

If I restore my iphone will it erase everything on my phone?
Depends on how you restore. if you perform a sync first, to create a current backup, you can then restore from that backup. If you restore as a new device, all data on your phone will be erased.

i upgraded to a macbook pro and gave my old macbook to my daughter, we tried to get her itunes library downloaded on it and it said that there was already an apple id assigned to that computer.
we went on the new one an de authorized all computers and then tried to re load her itune library on and it still isnt working. what are we doing wrong?
i called tech support and they are useless until you are willing to pay them 269 dollars to give you the information. ive spent a smal fortune buying apple products over the last 2 years, the least they could do is answer a simple question. Please helpIt sounds to me like there are two separate processes being intertwined above:
1. Setting up your daughter's MacBook with identifying info; e.g., Apple ID for the user account on that machine.
2. Transferring the iTunes library (a very different operation).
Have you used Apple's Migration Assistant to move your daughter's information from her old machine to the MacBook? That would have avoided this whole issue.
If not, either start the process over and use Migration Assistant, or try to more carefully and precisely define exactly what you did to accomplish this transition. You said, for example, "there was already an Apple ID assigned to this computer." That statement almost certainly did not originate with iTunes. -
I have a new windows 7 computer. I have downloaded my old itunes library from my carbonite backup to this computer. I cannot seem to move the old library folder to the new itunes program I have just downloaded.
Restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the backup to the new computer.
Launch iTunes.
Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was. -
Problems Downloading iTunes Library From Portable Hard Drive
Why does it take so long to transfer iTunes songs from a portable hard drive?
Here are my stats:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.4.1f1
I'm downloading a 9,000 song library from the portable hard drive to an empty iTunes program. I highlighted all of the song files (Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, etc.) It took at least an hour for all of the songs to "process". Then my computer told me there is not enough room to store them all. I understand this because the list of songs I want to import is 34 gig. What I don't understand is why it has taken since midnight last night (it is now 14 1/2 hours later) and song no.6,450 of 6,800 is loading. Does it normally take this long for such a large amount of songs to transfer. Will there be any way that I can transfer the other 2,200 songs after this is done?
I also want to know if anyone knows if it makes sense for me partition the iTunes library somehow so it won't slow the computer down by being such a large file.

Also keep in mind that USB is a shared bus so it may work if the USB bus is doing nothing more than accessing the drive and your keyboard and mouse. If you start scanning in something from a USB scanner, printing to a USB printer, accessing a USB to Wifi device, etc. then you might see more issues with playback as iTunes has to share the USB connection with other things.

How do I download itunes library to a usb flash drive
how do I download my iTunes library on to a SanDisk Ultra 16GB usb flash drive?
Drag song files there, either from the iTunes program window or the iTunes Media folder, or if desired, drag the entire iTunes folder there.

iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs. Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update?
Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums. It's where the iPod users hang out. -
New iPhone 5 can't download my iTunes library. I tried update to iTunes 10.7 but it (iTunes) says I am current at 10.6.3. I've read on other posts that OS needs to be up to date. But my macBook pro retina-display is at least 10.7. Now what?
Are you able to update to 10.7.0.21 using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website?
