i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed
will i lose any of my stuff?

When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
Hope this help

  • I have a ipad with all of my songs on it, my old computer recently shut down and now i want to download all of my songs on my ipad to my new itunes. how can i do this without erasing all of my music?

    my computer recently shut down and all of my itunes was lost.  My ipad still has all of my songs on it. How can i download all of my music onto my new itunes. would i need a different acount?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

    I have had my iphone 3gs for 3 mths., I have not connected it to my computer to creat a apple id and upload, somebody told me u have to do this right when u get your phone or you will loose everything in your phone. I don't want to loose all my #'s, pictures,texts,etc.
    How can I do this without loosing everything?
    Thanks

    They told you incorrectly, although it is not a good idea to rely on the device as a single point of storage.
    You must have an Apple ID to purchase content via iTunes, simply log in with that ID in iTunes.  Then connect the device and sync it.  For detailed instructions, read the manual which is available online or on the device.

  • I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

    I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • We have down loaded latest software for the ipod touch and now can't open up any Apps previously held on the Ipod touch. please advise how we can restore this without losing all the apps??

     

    You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can transfer other stuff by using the third-part programs discussed in this previous discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    If you previously synced to another computer and do not have the backup files you will lose your app data.  You will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and then sync to the new computer.

  • I have a mac book and I want to transfer my pics in iPhoto to my new iMac how do I do this without migration

    Can someone please help me? I just purchased a new Imac and I need to transfer my iphot pics from my macbook to the Imac

    All the Photos in your macbook are in iphoto Library. Navigate to PICTURES FOLDER then, right click "iPhoto Lib" then select SHOW Package Contents. your photos are in the MASTERS Folder.
    Or you can copy the entire iphoto Library in the Pictures folder and place it in your new imac pictures folder.
    you can use an external hard drive, SD Card or burn to CD.
    Another option is to connect macbook to iMac and boot macbook in target disk mode so that you can access your laptop as an external drive.

  • I want to move video to an external hard drive but keep my photos on my mac. How do I do this without losing all my details?

    I am looking to free p space on my mac book pro by moving all my video that downloads into iPhoto and keep it on an external hard drive.  How do I move only the video and keep all the info associated with them?  Will iPhoto recognize and keep them organized as before!?

    All you can do is select the videos (smart album with keyword = movie) and export them then delete in iPhoto with the optional information available during export - you can not "split" an iPhoto library between two drives

  • HT4972 The computer that I normally sync my iphone with has crashed and all info was lost.... Im trying to sync to my new laptop... how do I do this without losing iphone purchases, apps etc???? Help??

    The computer that I normally sync my iphone with has crashed and all info lost.... I'm trying to sync and update with my new laptop but I am getting an error meassage that if I continue all purchases, apps etc will be deleted..... How to I do this without losing all my stuff??? Help I have no clue about technology!!!!!

    The official way to do it is to restore the iTunes library that was on your old computer to your new computer using the backup of your whole system you regularly update.  Then you are syncing the phone with the same old library.
    Some of the information below is summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I have a new computer and want to sync my phone and all it's apps to my new computer. How do I do this without loosing all of my apps?

    I
    I have had a total meltdown of my system and have had to rebuild my computer because of a lightning strike which took out my main computer and my backup system therefore I do not have a way to restore all of my old files. When I rebuilt my computer I decided to go with Windows 7 rather than staying with Windows Vista when I attach my Apple iPhone to the new computer and tried to sync it, it tells me that it wants to wipe out everything on my phone. My iPhone was backed up to the cloud but I do not see way to restore it from the cloud and I do not want to lose all of my apps and data that are on my iPhone. I have gone to the Apple online store to see if I could restore the apps that I have purchased from their and have not been able to find anything that relates to reinstalling all the apps that I have purchased as well as my bookmarks and addresses as well as a lot of the data in documents to go and do not want to lose them as it is the only place that I have them left. How do I do this without losing all of my apps and data that is on my iPhone?
    Please help out of this nightmare and keep me loyal to iPhone.
    This has become an all day and night ordeal.
