If there is media content on the device that isn't in your library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
The user tip includes a link to a backup tip which you should use to make sure that you can recover your library in the event of a problem.

    I want to sync my iPhone to a new laptop and I'm unsure if i lose saved games and app data. How do I do this and is there a solution where i can also keep data from apps that isn't listed in the purchased apps(for whatever reason)?
    If you need any more information I would be happy to fill in!
    Thank you so much in advance!!!

  • My old computer died and I have just bought another...

    My old computer died and I have just purchased a new one.  I have been trying to sync all of my apple devices to the new computer, but I am concerned with the error message I am getting.  It says:
    "The IPhone "XXXX Iphone" is synced with another Itunes library on "XXXXX-PC".  Do you want to erase this IPhone and sync with this ITunes library?"
    "An IPhone can be synced with only one ITUNES library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPhone with the contents of the ITunes library." 
    I don't want to lose any of the data on my IPhone, my IPad, the kids IPod Touches, etc...  How can I make this computer my new PC for my ITunes library without losing all of my info?  There has to be a way as I can't believe you have to lose all of your devices information, pics, videos just because your home computer has to be replaced.  Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

    How do I upgrade to snow leopard (from leopard 10.5) and then restore my files from my time machine HDD backup...without losing any data or reinstalling leopard (10.5)?

    Hello, it's great you have a backup, but 10.6 should just Install 10.6 system files over the top of 10.5 system files, & leave all your data intact on the drive.

  • How do you unsync your phone and sync it with another computer without losing any data?

    How do you unsync your iphone, without loosing any of the music etc? As I have a new laptop and my old laptop is not working.

    You need to transfer the data from your old computer to your new computer.  Surely you have a backup of your old laptop.  Use this and move your data to your new laptop.

  • Just got a new computer and I want to hook up my itouch and treat it just like i did with the last computer, without losing any data. What can I do?

    Help me please! I'm a new college student trying to make my new computer just like the family computer, which has all of my itunes, ipod sync "station", and etc.How can I hook up my iTouch to this new computer and treat it the same as i did on the old?
         P.S.-and just like everyone else, is there a way to do it without losing all my hard earned data?

    Make sure you cpt the iPod backup file from the old compouter to the new one.  That file is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - after you move the other stuff to your new computer, connect the iPod to the new computer and restore the iPod from the backup you just added to the computer and then sync.

  • How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

    Hello
    Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • I have a library on my Ipod Classic and a different one on iTunes.  How can I sync both without losing any files?

    I think I may have deleted the original library a while back.  Since then, I have been collecting new files.  Now that I sat down to sync, I am unable to load new files at all.  Is there maybe a way to upload library on ipod into itunes library and then reload all back onto ipod?
    I don't want to lose any of it! Help!

    You'll want to extract all the content that is currently on the iPod and copy it back over into your new iTunes library.  Once you have successfully done that, you can go ahead and restore your iPod to factory settings and then sync away as restoring the iPod will allow it to sync with the new iTunes library.

  • PB has died and I need to return it ...but how?

    My one year warranty is almost up and my PB has recently died. There is no power whatsoever.  I have tried (in vain) to contact blackberry support and playbook support to find out how I return my PB to either have it fixed or replaced.  I have emailed [email protected] just a few minutes ago too and am waiting for them to respond. Hopefully they won't tell me to buzz off as the other two "help" desks did.
    Has anyone had to return their PB to RIM? If so, how did you do that and can you direct me to where the details are on doing that?
    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Solved!

    Call your Canadian PlayBook support number.
    Canada Toll Free: 1-877-644-8405
    Likely, the battery is extremely drained and needs charging.
    LEAVE it connected to the wall outlet charger (not the USB > PC charger).
    Leave it connected for 24 hours... every 3-5 hours, press and hold the power button only for about 20 seconds. Eventually it will boot on up, but first must reach a certain charge level.
    You will see the blinking red and perhaps yellowish LED light, and perhaps a symbol on screen of "no battery". That means the battery is drained, but it must reach a certain charge before powering on.
    Email "[email protected]" is a dead end, it only directly you back here and other options such as calling your mobile provider support, which does not apply to the Playbook.

  • My other computer was replaced and I need to assign this laptop as the main and sync my iPhone and new laptop to this one without losing any data. How?

    I had this computer sync-ing with a laptop that I have since replaced. I want to assign this computer as my main and sync the new laptop and my iPhone to this one. How do I reassign this one as the "main" so I can add the others?

    Yes, windows to Mac too.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Can I set up I Cloud and change my mind without losing any data or photos?

    I have the Iphone, Ipad2 , and Macbook Pro and want to set up ICloud. I read a post that said, should you decide to NOT use it, you will lose all of your data and photos. Is this true?

    I set up an iCloud account and only use it for certain things. I do not use it on my Mac, even though I can, but I have chosen not to do so. I sync bookmarks, reminders, app data and documents (for Pages) but I did not setup an email account nor do I use Photo Stream. You can pick and choose what to want to sync to iCloud.

    Note:
    The iPhone 3G can only update as far as iOS 4.2.1
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
