IPhone 3G not working on new laptop

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G. I have got rid of the PC that I used to use to sync music etc with my iPhone.
I now have a new laptop - I have installed Itunes, logged into Itunes Store, plugged in my iPhone, I can view every video and song on my iPhone, but I cannot modify its contents or add music.
How do I fix this? I do not wish to lose all the apps, videos and music I have loaded onto it.
Cheers in advance

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and the sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. The same applies to photos that are transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. When syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first. The same applies to transferring photos to an iPhone from another computer via the iTunes sync process.
Before getting rid of the PC that you were using to sync with your iPhone, did you create a backup for the important data on your old PC to be transferred to your new PC? If so, why didn't you include the iTunes library on your old PC especially if it included content that was purchased from the iTunes store? The iPhone is not designed nor intended to be a backup device, or external storage device.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so - and you did de-authorize your old PC 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.
For any 3rd party apps that are not transferred to your iTunes library from your iPhone, you can re-download any purchased apps with iTunes on your new computer and you won't be charged again as long as you re-download the apps with the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the apps originally.

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

Hi Melatina66,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable? If yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
Thank you.
Regards,

Itunes is not working on my laptop and I need to back up my contacts on a 3Gs phone?

Itunes is not working on my laptop and I need to back up my contacts on my 3Gs Iphone?

Hello KP530,
It sounds like you are unable to unlock your phone because you cannot use the screen, and you need to back up your phone. I recommend these steps from the article named:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Hi there bananas321,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

After updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!!

after updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!! the apple logo shows up for a few seconds. then the screen goes red !! after it restarts and it do the same!! please help.

Well, just for future reference, any time you do an iOS upgrade, it is a good idea to back up your device just prior to doing the download. You can back it up to iCloud or to iTunes. Personally, I prefer to back it up to iTunes, and then to do the download via iTunes as well. Doing a Wifi download can, by the very nature of the OTA environment, run into more issues than a hard-wired one via iTunes.
If it is just a version release (like 8.0.1, or 8.0.2), then I might download it via Wifi, since the content is not likely to be very large. But for any major new release (7 to 8, etc.) it is always a good idea to do it via the USB cable rather than OTA.
I would also suggest that you set up your device to do automatic iCloud backups. Whenever it is turned on (i.e., not manually powered off - it can be "asleep"), plugged into a power source, and connected to Wifi, it will do an automatic backup every 24 hours. Mine usually backs up at night.
But even with my iCloud backup in reserve, I still did an iTunes backup before I upgraded to iOS 8. I like having the extra security of that second backup to choose from, should I need it. Here is a support article comparing the two types of backup:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Sorry you lost your stuff. Hope then next update goes better for you!
Best of luck,

While updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me

while updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me

I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply
