If sync my Iphone with an itunes library without all of my burned songs but with all of my purchases what will happen?

My old computer along with my only decent Itunes was lost with a bad hard drive.  If i Sync my Iphone with a library only containing purchased songs will the songs burned from CD's or from other means transfer as well and can anyone recomend any Free Apple device transfer to computer? ( NOT PODSHARE and no Free Trials i have over 500 songs at least that need transferring)

The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
"can anyone recomend any Free Apple device transfer to computer?"
As far as I know, there are none.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

    Can someone sync their music into my itunes library without having to erase their data

    SYncing is from itunes on the computer to the  phone an dnot the other way around.  If they connect to your computer and sync their phone they will have your library annd theirs will be gone.  It is recommended that you only sync to one computer

  • I have an old imac 27' with OS 10.7. What will happen with lightroom 6 ?

    I have an old imac 27 ' with mac os 10.7.
    I try creative cloud and lightroom 5. It works perfectly... But what will happen with lightroom 6 ?

    It's pretty simple. Lightroom 6 will not run on OS 10.7. See http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/01/update-on-os-support-for-next-version-of-l ightroom.html
    You will need to either stay with Lightroom 5, or upgrade your operating system.

    Hi tharold,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the music on your iPod or iPhone was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the purchases to your iTunes library.
    This article goes over the options available for transfering content from an iPod or iOS device to a computer:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
    You can transfer media using these methods:
    Media type
    Transfer method
    Music purchased from the iTunes Store
    Transfer your media through iTunes.
    Download your media through iTunes in the Cloud1.
    Download your media through iTunes Match2.
    Music imported from a CD or other source
    iTunes can't transfer this media back to your computer.
    Back up your iTunes library or useiTunes Match2.

  • I had to re download itunes on my computer and when i plug in my iphone it says im connected to a different itunes library. is there a way to sync my iphone to the new library without erasing the stuff on my phone?

    On my laptop i had itunes but recently i needed to delete everything on my laptop including itunes. When i went to update the music on my iphone i re downloaded itunes but when i plug in my iphone a message pops up saying my phone is connected to another itunes library. When i clicked sync it says that i have an option to erase and re sync my iphone. I dont really care about loosing my music but i dont want to lose all my pictures on my iphone. Is there anything i can do to keep them?

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

  • I cannot sync my iphone to new itunes library.

    I have the latest update of itunes on both computers and the latest software update on my iPhone 5s.
    I have recently gotten a new laptop. I have downloaded itunes and transferred my itunes library from my old computer to my new laptop via home sharing. However, I could not sync any of the music to my iphone. I have also downloaded the transferred music from iCloud and backed up my iphone to the new laptop in the hope this would help. However it has not made a difference and I still cannot sync my iphone.
    How am I able to solve this problem?
    Many Thanks

    Only iTunes media will necessarily be erased.  There's no way around this. 

  • Syncing Nano & iphone using same itunes library

    How do I sync my itunes to my 4th gen nano and my iphone? So I can have my same music on the nano and the iphone? So they are mirrored?

    Not with just itunes, but 3rd-party programs such as TuneRanger claim to be able to do it.
    I assume you are talking about using one ITL file for both systems?
    Also, if your NAS drive is formatted NTFS, you need special software on the Mac to read it.
    And your iPods have to be formatted for Windows.

  • How can I sync my iPhone to a new library without losing all the data on the phone?

    I recently switched computers as the old one had died but I can't transfer any of my music from the iTunes to the new phone. Is there any way I can backup the phone and then sync it with the new library and somehow restore all my app's etc?
    Thanks,
    Raf

    Specifically I'm looking to keep all my photo's on the phone.

  • TS4108 updating led to recovery mode while syncing my iphone 4 on itunes. Lost all my data and now recreating them which is very frustrating. Anyone know how to recover the lost file?

    Help: lost all of my data from my iphone 4 during the latest UPDATE received from Apple via the Settings Tab. Wondering if I should take it in to the Apple Store for help or there's no chance for recovery. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community jjhill4j3.
    If you kept an iCloud back up...
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • How to sync 2 iPhones with 1 iTunes library and have separate settings?

    Hi,
    in the family we have one Mac that hods all the music within iTunes. We have two iPhones which are currently linked with this iTunes library. As we have different apps and different settings the iphones get confused with the apps and especially with the iPhone settings (I have mobileme, my wife not). So now we both have each others notes for example synced to both iPhones.
    We would like to separate the whole thing now - is there any save way to have these iPhones synced separately to the one iTunes library without loosing data?
    Thanks.

    Hi, thanks for your answer.
    Unfortunately this does not work because iTunes still keeps one account with the store active regardless which library I open. So when I switch the account in the store it will be switched for both libraries. That means that I can not separate the iPhone applications and all the other specific sync parameters.
    I thought about using my wife's account on the Mac and pointing iTunes to the new library - the problem here is that then the iPhoto library is not accessible any more......
    I can't really believe that there is no solution from Apple - I mean there must be more couples and families out there with 2 and more iPhones syncing with one iTunes / iPhoto etc libraries.
    Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

  • Syncing an Iphone with multiple Itunes accounts

    I recently traveled with my Iphone and when at my brother's place, I logged in to Itunes with my ID, purchased some tv shows for my daughter and was able to sync them to my phone. When I got home and synced with my own laptop, it told me it had to sync with my existing IPhone information and I would lose anything that wasn't in there. So I synced and the shows are now gone from my phone and my Itunes purchases. Isn't there a way to purchase where it downloads into Itunes store but it follows you b/c of the fact that you logged in to purchase it? I paid for those items so I feel like I should still be seeing them in my Itunes account here.
    Did I just do something wrong? I have a Iphone G3.
    Thanks!

    For media content - music, videos and movies - and apps, you can only sync an iPhone to one iTunes library. There's no way around that. So that's why you had the issue when you connected the iPhone to your home computer again. Anything that is not in your home iTunes library will indeed be erased from the iPhone.
    Further, if you purchase an item from the iTunes Store on another computer, then with the exception of apps, you get only one download per purchase. So if you buy anything other than an iPhone app on any other computer, it will be your responsibility to either make sure it transfers to your computer from the iPhone - you do not let the iPhone automatically sync when you connect it, then you use the "Transfer Purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes to copy the purchased content from your iPhone - or you copy it from the computer to your own via a flash drive, CD, etc.
    Regards.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from my iPhone 5s to iTunes library?sse

  • How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

    Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
    Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

    I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
    Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....
