My iphone is synced with a laptop that is lost what do I do?
my iphone is synced with a laptop that is lost what do I do? I have a new laptop but when I go to sync I am told all my app's will be lost
Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid this, but since you purchase apps using your Apple ID, you will be able to get them back by going to the App Store > Updates > Purchased > Not on this iPhone. If you have iOS 5, you don't need to worry about it, as they can be restored via iCloud backup.

I have two libraries on separate computers. If i turned itunes match on in both computers would the two libraries merge? So if my iphone normally syncs with my laptop would i still only get the iphones library or would i get both as one?
Yes, the two libraries should merge. However, you need to turn on match on one computer and let it finish before adding the second library.
Once you turn march on n your phone then you don't sync it with iTunes, but the merged library will show up on the phone. If you don't turn on match on your phone and continue to sync then all of the music from both libraries should be available to sync to it.
The only bit I can't confirm is what happens if you try to sync music to the phone which isnt actually downloaded into iTunes. Im not in a position to test that, but maybe someone else can help. -
Is there anyone that is able to help me with this issue pls
In that case you'll have to use a 3rd party software to get everything off of your phone and onto your computer. Google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for it but it's really worth it. You get free updates for life. I've used it several times.

Is it possible to use Firefox on my iPhone WITHOUT syncing with my laptop?
I would rather not sync my iPhone with Firefox on my laptop because I don't use the Internet on my phone very much. I don't want the memory used for bookmarks and things.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms
iPhone/iPad/iPod
We have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS. The iOS SDK agreement requires apps to use Apple's own JavaScript engine (or none at all, like Opera Mini which downloads pre-rendered pages from Opera's servers and cannot run JavaScript code in the client). Because of this, we have no supported way to distribute Firefox's rendering and JavaScript engine to iPhone users.
However, you can download Firefox Home for iPhone, an iOS app that uses Firefox Sync to deliver Firefox bookmarks, browsing history, and tabs to your iPhone or iPod Touch. -
Can I undo a recent sync?
It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

TS3999 My iphone stopped syncing with both icloud and outlook. what is the fix?
I can not sync the cloud or outlook with my iphone. What can I do to fix it?
There's no interaction between Sync and Xmarks, other than them both reading from and writing to the same data sources. I'm afraid I have no idea why Xmarks might have stopped working.
Sync isn't hooked into Firefox's data sources until it's set up; if you see "Set up Sync" in your menu instead of "Sync Now", you can safely ignore it. -

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy. -
I download apps directly to my iphone. When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?
If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

As a matter of fact it does not show as deivce under my laptop
Additionally Itunes gets hang when i connect my iphone to the laptop

Of course not... it's not supposed to. There is no issue with that.
iDevices only show as cameras so that pictures/videos taken with the device can be copied off.
What troubleshooting has been tried to get iTunes to recognize the device?
Different sync cable?
Multiple USB ports?
Reset or restart or the device?
Rebooting the computer? -
I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it. -
I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?
Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud? -
