I'm overseas and need to sync my iphone with itunes but I don't have my computer. How can I sync it to my friends computer without losing my music and data?
Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur. -
After I download my music into library and put it on the cloud, can I delete my library so it doesn't take up space on my hard drive.
I thought maybe it would be a little easier to understand where I am getting all these numbers from if I gave you guys some screenshots.
Here is the information for the original files (pulled straight from the card onto the external):
Here is the information for the FCP Library:
Here is the information for the folder within the FCP Library called "Original Media":

If my iphone says my camera roll is has been backed up on icloud, can I erase my photos off my phone without losing them?
I definitely wouldn't. All you can do with the backup is a full restore and that would overwrite anything you later had added to the phone (including any additional photos). If you have a computer, doing an import is a good idea: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
If no computer, you could send the photos to someplace such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or other online photo storage. -
Can someone please just help me figure out how to update this stupid phone(iPhone 4)without losing anything?

I have a lot of music from old CDs on here,and for some reason I can't even transfer them manually onto my computer. I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

HT4914 once the music is in the cloud, can i delete it from my computer to make space?
I would like to make space on my laptop and was wondering if i download my music to icloud can i delete it from my hard drive?
Actually, further to my last reply, I just played a song that wasnt located on my computer any longer (I deleted the file but left it in iCloud when prompted by iTunes). The song has an iCloud icon next to it. I double clicked it and it started playing. When I opened up the info windon on this song, the Location says "iCould". So, that leads me to believe that indeed we can delete the files from our master computer, and, stream them or download them from iCloud! How great is this? Can anyone coroborate this? Cheers, Mark

HT1296 How can I sync the content on my iPad 1 to my new computer without losing anything?
My old computer (a PC) is crashed and is no longer usable. I hadn't synced my iPad to that computer in several months. Now, I have a Mac Air and when I plug my iPad 1 into it, I get a message that states the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. I'm given the option to Erase and Sync, but that will mean that I'll lose what's currently on my iPad. Is there a way to avoid that?
This will work with all purchased content on the iPad.
If you have synced photos on the iPad that you want to transfer to the Mac, you will need a third party app like Photo Transfer - or an application like TouchCopy, that will transfer everything into the new iTunes library - if you care to check that out.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your MBA and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new MBA, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

You can always download apps again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID. This will explain how to download past purchases if needed.

Can I connect my iPad to another computer without losing anything?
Hi everyone,
My MacBooks logic board is basically dead, and I currently do not have the extra money to fix it. So I'm using a friend's old Dell in the mean time. My question is when I plug my iPad / iPod in to put songs/ other files on there, would everything be erased? I just wasn't sure if it would ask me to restore the iPad and iPod to connect to that computer? I don't want to lose anything I already have as I can only get on the macbook for a few seconds without it going to black screen again.
Thank you for any advice!This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.

why are all my download items duplicated in i cloud all of a sudden? how do i get the space back so i can re-synch muy i pod classic without spending hours deleting ?
Why? A glitch. The second copies are links to your purchases in the cloud and are not taking up any room. Sign out of the store and they should disappear. Sign back in again and they should stay gone.

I have my iTunes library on my Windows 7 machine on an external hard drive. I purchased a new Macbook and would like to point my new machine at my iTunes library without losing anything and then deactivate iTunes on the Windows machine, help please
Sorry, but this does not seem to be an iPad question. I'd therefore suggest you ask in the iTunes for Mac forum.

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I have a 32 GB iPod classic, about 7 yrs. old. It is formatted to Mac, but I no longer have access to a Mac. Can I reformat it to PC (yuk!) without losing my music or screwng it up?
You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

How do I synch my iPhone to a new PC without losing anything.
Lost the HDD on my PC and had to reload on a new disk. I have an old backup of iTunes (not very recent) and would like to be able to synch my iPhone without losing contacts, play lists, etc. I can recreate the library from my laptop.
I think I have three options and am wondering which will get my iPhone synched without losing anything:
Recreate library from laptop and synch iPhone (I think this will lose the playlists and contacts.
Backup the iPhone, synch (will probably lose contacts and playlists here) than restore the iPhone from the backup. Will this put the contacts and playlists back?
Restore old iTunes DB from backup, synch phone. Will this copy contacts and play lists from the phone over to the PC so nothing gets lost?
Thanks,
MikeHello
This is my first time on a community notice board such as this
I'm stumped and hope someone can help
My iphone just wont back up on my PC - and I've tried deleting the old backup on the Edit/Preferences tab in iTunes - in fact there is no backup for this device listed there at all.
Without being able to backup, my iphone can't sync, so i can't get music onto it - which was one of the whole blessed points of the bloomin investment.
Can you help?
(Why am I so annoyed at this technology that does not work?)
Cheers
