Lost old computer how can I sync with new?

The computer I used to sync my iPhone has stopped working and I really would like to sync my phone so is there any way to sync my phone to another computer without losing everything?

Whatever you bought/downloaded from iTunes Store can be re-downloaded from there to your new computer and synced to your iPhone, or iPod. Just sign into your iTunes account.
As far as music that didn't come from iTunes Store there are non-Apple programs to move music from your iPhone to iTunes on your new computer.  I'm using PodWorks (not cheap,~ $8); another is Senuti. There are many others & some good ones are free.
I agree that you should be using a backup.  But that's not the question you asked, just something we all need to do. Saves a lot of headaches.

  • How do I un-sync my iPad from old computer in order to sync with new computer?

    Have a new lap top and want to sync my iPad to it.  Since it can only sync to one device, how do I un-sync from old lap top in order to sync to new lap top?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPad. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Here's what to do:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPad without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPad for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPad for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Formatted hard drive and changed computer, how can I sync with iTunes?

    Yes, I formatted my hard drive and got a new computer, without thinking that it would cause any problems. Now I have installed iTunes and want to sync my iPhone, but it wants to erase my current music files. What do I do?
    P.s. If there are any ppl who have contact with developers, a little proposition... perhaps develop a shared computer version of iTunes (for work-home commuting, internet cafes ect.) where a person can log-in manipulate and download onto their iPod/Phone ect. without this problem of being fixed to one computer (which to be honest is rather unrealistic? no?)

    found life saveing program called media widget well worth the $29 if you have alot of stuff on tour ipod

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • How can I sync with this library without erasing my data?

    The iPod "Sayira's iPod" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
    So, okay, here's my story: My laptop caught a virus, so i sent it to this guy who fixes computers, now that my laptop is fixed, everything is deleted from it. I didn't really mind this too much, but anyway I redownloaded iTunes to my new hardrive and then it said the following (posted above). My question is, how can i sync with this new library without erasing any data from my apps (such as games, photos, videos, music)? I REALLY don't want to lose this data!

    - Transffer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    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
    - Restore the IPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does no include symec media like apps and music.

    Download it from exactly the same place you downloaded it previously. If you purchased it from Adobe, you link is still available. If you don't have the email confirmation of your purchase, then log into Adobe.com and go to your account page to look at your Orders.

    Sync ith only one computer. When you sync with the second anything acquired from the first computer will be erased. Syncing back with the first computer will erase everything synced from the second computer.
    Put all your stuff on one of the computers and sync with only that one.

    You can only sync with one computer. If you are moving to a new computer backup your iTunes media folder and transfer to the new machine.
