  • Can I update my phone with iOS5 on a different computer than i normally sync my phone to?

    My personal computer had some issues a while back and i cant get it to update to iTunes 5. So I updated my work computer and i am wondering...
    Can I update my iphone 4 with iOS 5 on my work computer, realizing it will erase my phones music, etc; and then resync my updated iOS 5 phone to my personal computer to update my media files? Will my phone keep iOS 5 and resync all my media?
    Thanks

    The computer you normally sync to has all your data on its hard drive. Any other computer does not, and that is what it will sync to your phone: nothing.
    One phone: one computer. It's a symbiosis sort of thing.

    Delete those applications and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

  • HT4972 if i backup my ipod will it save everything when i update on a different computer?

    if i backup my ipod will it save everything when i update on a different computer?

    - The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. If those synced items are not on the computer on which you do the update they will not be oj the iPod after the update. The update erases the iPod
    - First transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - The restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iPod.

    Im trying to add music to my iphone on a different computer. If I sync my phone to the new computer will it delete my old music?!

    Yes, it will. Try using TouchCopy (http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php) (automatic transfer), or iExplorer (manual transfer of files).

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • Updating with a different Computer?

    Hi folks could anyone help me please?
    I have a 3G and would like 2 update to IOS 4, problem is my usual computer that i normally synced my iphone with has now bitten the dust, when i went to install the new os it warned me id lose all pics videos etc if not using original computer. Now i really dont want to lose all my photos of my little un...... or all my amsterdam videos or even my contacts but really want to update, can i back up before i do this and all will be restored?? Soz im an I-noob.
    Thanks in advance for any help peeps

    You would lose music/pics/videos synced to the phone from your old computer, but not pics/videos taken on the phone and stored in the Camera Roll. If you are referring to music/pics/videos synced to the phone, those were on your old HDD and you should have a backup (the iPhone is not a backup device!).

  • TS4006 Why is the Find my Phone app showing my iPhone to be in a different location than where it is?

    I have my son's iPhone registered on my Find my Phone app. but it's showing his
    phone to be in a different location than it is - I know as I've just called him at his friends
    house on the landline but its showing him to be about 1/4 of a mile away from where he
    is, does anyone know that would be please (he had his iPhone on him)? Thanks

    I frequently find the pin to be a little off.  For example, a device in the east end of my house may be located at the west end.

  • Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer than my own? If so how?

    Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer other than my own? If so how?

    If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
    If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
    Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

    you will need to have your ipod set to "manually manage songs and playlists" in order to play songs off the ipod through the other computer's itunes.

    I cannot get my ipad contacts onto my iphone5.  When I update the iphone, it updates the ipad, but won't do it the other way around.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Winston, Thank for the reply. Sorry about the delay in getting back. Yes I'v signed into icloud and then then I try using iTunes to sync  it keeps telling me I have to subscribe to this service. But I already have paid the €25. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

  • How to update iphone on different computer than it was registerd on

    I first installed my iphone on my personal laptop which is now broken. Im trying to update my iphone on my mothers computer but dont know how to go about doing that without losing all my music and adding hers (which isnt quite my taste) how can i get around that and get the new apps?

    No.  Iphones are meant to be synced to one itunes library.
    If you have less than 5.0gb of data on your phone you can use the icloud backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
