Is there a way to sync my IPhone 4s to a new computer WITHOUT losing all of my 300 songs?

I recently moved and my old computer is no longer here. All of my songs are still on my IPhone 4s, but whenever I try to sync my phone to this new computer, it wants to delete all of my songs. A solution would be amazing

    Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
    My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • How do i sync my i phone to a new computer without losing all of my pictures, set up, apps, etc...?

    How do i sync my i phone to a new computer without losing my set up, apps, pictures etc...?

    One of the reasons to include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data that is kept separate from your laptop - not carried in the same case, etc.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If you are in the US, you can do this now as well.

  • How do I use my iPhone 4s with a new computer without losing all my data?

    Basically long story short my laptop just died, I can't get it past the start up screen and have subsequently lost all my music, files and iTunes Libary - and yes I know it's dumb of me not have a back up and I will not be making that mistake again - I have purchased a new laptop running windows 8 however as my iPhone is synced with my old laptop it will not allow me to sync with the new one without losing all of my data. Now I manually managed everything bar my apps on my old laptop but when I check to manually manage eveerything on the new laptop I obviously get the error message I will lose data when it syncs to the new laptop and I don't know what to do.
    I've lost all my music before and when I don't have my old files to back up what I lose I'm at a loss... can anyone help?
    If I click to manually manage will I just lose my apps as this was the onlyu thing synced with my old laptop? I can cope losing these....

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks

  • Is there a way to sync ipad / iphone (previously under different apple id) without losing content?

    My dad passed his old ipad2 & iphone4 to my kids recently.  I'm afraid to sync them to my computer (my itunes & id) because I don't want to loose some of the content.  He has pictures and the apps are some they have played on since he bought it!  Any tips or advice?  He purchased some art apps for them before giving it to them, so I'd rather not loose the new content either.  But I need to separate his apple id from the devices so I can sync it to my laptop (windows), right?  I'd also like to give them a apple id to associate with mine for facetime & messaging.  Unfortunately, I am not practiced or skilled at the multitasking of technology.  I'll wipe them both if necessary, just hoping I don't have to.  If I sync them to my itunes... can I at least get the pictures?  Well... any help will be appreciated :-

    If your Dad is prepared to share his Apple ID with you then you can recover the existing content from the device using tips here: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I sync my iPhone/iPad to a new computer without losing data on the devices?

    I have the itunes home sharing set up. I have 2 different laptops, each with it's own iTunes on it, and each has it's own library. I have my iPad and iPhone synced to Laptop #1, but this laptop is old and I want to sync my devices to Laptop #2. I've used the home sharing to transfer the songs, videos, etc to move everything from the iTunes on Laptop #1 to the iTunes on Laptop #2. But when I connected my devices to Laptop #2, I got the message saying that my devices were synced to a different iTunes and they can only be synced with 1 iTunes at a time. It warned me if I synced to Laptop #2, I would lose the data on my device, and the data on the iTunes of Laptop #2 would be transferred.
    I don't want to lose any of the data on my devices, but I want to sync to Laptop #2. How can I do this? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Hello again and sorry to bother you. I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

    You can transfer Itunes purchases by:

    You can transfer other stuff with the info provided in this previous discussion:

    Once you get the stuff in the iTunes library of you new computer let iTunes erase your iPod and replace its contents with what is now in your iTunes library.

    how do i sync my ipad to my new computer without losing all my apps that are on the ipad

    This should be a pretty good guide for setting up the iPad with a new computer and for keeping your content.
    Don't forget to authorize the new computer as well. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Authorize this Computer.

    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    Make sure that you move your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one as well for all of your music.
    Here is an article that can help you with that.
