Migrate all my iPhone sync to another computer

Hi!.. *I actually use the Mac Mini* for the familly (that include parents and brother's use) for sync my iPhone in a separate account. Now I have a *new Mac laptop* and I *need to migrate the sync of the iPhone* to MY and only MY new laptop.
I can figure how to do it by overwrite Library's with the old data or move data and resync the iphone but I think is another more nice way to do it right?
Thanks a lot and greetings from Mexico! :-D!

Did you think about backing up the itunes library on your old mac and restore itunes on your new mac with the backup?
Here's how:

  • Iphone synced with another computer after reinstalling win7

    After reinstalling windows 7, itunes states my iphone 4 is synced with another computer and wants to erase all my music and content.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for that, explains a little. I have changed my operating system to Windows 8 and I am now accessing my library from my back up drive when it was previously accessed on my main drive.
    I imagine itunes is seeing another hard drive as in your reply above. If this is the case how can it be resolved? copy my entire library into the itunes music folde as is the default setting?

  • How can I move my iPhone sync to another computer?

    I currently sync my iPhone to my laptop.    I'm not using the laptop anymore, and would like to sync to my desktop instead.   When I try to sync on my desktop, I get a warning that all my app data will be erased and replaced with the desktop version.  Also, I can see where my home screen is completely different in iTunes.
    Obviously, I don't want to lose anything...  so how can I change which machine I want to sync with?
    I've tried running a backup on the desktop, and also using the transfer purchases option, but neither of these seems to have the results I want.

    I don't think you can. Well not at least until you have 5 computers authorized. When you have 5 computers authorized there should be an option to "unauthorize all" in your account settings.
    If you get to 5 computers authorized and you need a 6th, do this and then re-authorize the others you need.
    It would be handy if you could just pick a machine to unauthorize in iTunes.

  • My iTunes is suddenly saying both my iPod & iPhone are synced with another computer, which they have not been.

    I recently lost all of the music from my laptop's hard drive, and therefore from i-Tunes.  I still have all of my music on my iPhone (3GS) (and a smaller version on my iPod Touch (3)), however when I try to sync them iTunes says the devices are synced with another computer & the only options I have is to erase the iPhone/iPod & sync with the very little music that has been able to be recovered back into iTunes, or to transfer the purchases.  I have checked the computer is authorised for my iTunes account, and have transferred the purchases back.  I really don't want to have to reload my CDs on when they are all on other devices.
    Does anyone know why iTunes is suddenly not recognising devices it did previously, and how I get it to recognise them again?  And most importantly, how I can transfer the music on my iPhone/iPod back into the laptop's iTunes?

    The music was accidentally deleted as I was cleaning up my SafeSync account (like a Cloud) & I unwittingly deleted My Documents & My Music from my hard drive as I did so - these are the only files that were affected.  So no catastrophic issue apart from me not knowing what I'm doing.
    And IT guy performed a recovery for me but was only able to retrieve about 10% of my documents and only 45 songs of the 1700 or so I had.  There is no up to date back up of my computer - trust me I've learnt a lesson there.
    Since then iTunes doesn't recognise my devices as being synced to that computer, but there is no other computer for them to be synced to so I don't understand how this happened or how to fix it.  I understand that my devices aren't back ups, but it seems stupid to lose the 1700 songs I have on my iPhone.  I have transferred the purchases, but the majority of them are songs I've loaded from CDs & obviously it would be a very time consuming process to try to reload all of them - obviously something I would like to avoid if possible.

  • Whem i'm doing the backup it automaticaly saves contacts.....because i've synced with another computer anf it deleted all my contacts...and i really need them!!!!!

    Whem i'm doing the backup it automaticaly saves contacts.....because i've synced with another computer and it deleted all my contacts...and i really need them!!!!!

    If you haven't been using your phone as recommended, then you've lost all your contacts.  Contacts should be synched to your computer (Address Book, Outlook) or a cloud service (MobileMe, Google) for safekeeping.  The iPhone was never intended to be a storage device.
    If you haven't been using your phone as recommended and synching your contacts as above, frankly, you've no one to blame for your loss of data but yourself. 
    On that topic, are you making regular backups of your computer's data as well?  Hard drives WILL fail.

  • How can I find out if my iphone has been synced to another computer? (Backup/Sync Privacy)

    So it would seem easy for someone (lets just say a girlfriend for example) to plug my iPhone into her computer while I am staying the night and backup to iTunes.  I have my settings to "require a passcode immediately", however there was one day there was access to my passcode at her place while I was not there. So my question is three-fold:
    - How can I find out if my iphone has synced with another computer/iTunes (possible history in the iPhone)?
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    One reason I ask this is because earlier this year her phone was backed up to my iTunes on accident.  I did not know it was there until months later, but was able to access it with software.
    Thanks!

    You don't.  Nothing gets stored on the iPhone about what computers the device has been backed up to.
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    Yes, it's called a passcode lock.
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    No.  You might consider changing your Apple ID password to be on the safe side, though, as well as your security questions.

  • My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

    My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

    Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
    If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

    Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
    iDevices are not backup devices.

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Help.

    I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Wondering how to get my device from the other computer especially since I don't even know what computer it's connected to.

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.
