Need to get photos and music from iphone to new macbook pro

I gave my old macbook pro to my daughter and bought a new one. However, i need to find out how to get my music, photos, etc from my iphone onto my new computer. When I try to sync i get the message my iphone contents will be erased and replaced with computer's content. Help!

Photos can be offloaded to any computer. If a computer does not have iTunes installed, it treats the iPhone as a camera and gives an option to save the photos.
Anyway, photo's aren't synced are they. They are always stored on the iPhone and never a part of a backup.

  • Sync Apps and Music from iPhone to new MacBook

    My MacBook Pro has a new hard drive, and I would like to sync my iPhone.  How do I get my music and apps from my iPhone to iTunes?

    Transfer your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup.
    If you don't have a backup, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. 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.

  • How to sync music from iPhone to new MacBook pro

    Hi everyone I just got my first Mac computer so please excuse my ignorance. I have an iPhone that has a ton of music on it most of it from the iTunes Store but some songs are from CD's from people. I am a dance teacher so a good chunk of my music is not bought from iTunes. I need to sync the music from my iPhone to iTunes on my computer. Can someone please give me step by step directions on how to do this so I won't lose all the music that was not from iTunes. I also do not want the sync to erase the music from my iPhone because I need it for the gym. Thanks so much the help is so appreciated!

    Any music you purchased from iTunes can be transferred, the rest will have to be imported to the MBP from the prior source.  Examine this discussion:

  • Transfer all music from iphone to new macbook pro

    I would like to transfer all my songs from my iphone which was sync with a PC to my new macbook book pro, i have transfered all the itunes purchased songs but cannot transfer all the other songs. I have transfered all contacts etc... to the new macbook, but no joy with the remaining songs. can anyone help?

    The conventional way to do this would be to just grab the songs from the PC where they originated. However, if you'd rather pull them directly from the iPhone, you'll need a 3rd party tool such as PhoneView. I hope this helps!

  • Music from iphone 4 to macbook pro

    is there any way for me to transfer my music from my iphone 4 to my new macbook pro? i know you can do it with windows but why is it so hard to transfer to a Mac?? please let me know if there is any solution.

    For purchased items: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    For songs that you ripped from CD's, you'll need something like: http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/
    Or alternatively, if you still have access to the PC with the music on, then set up home sharing

  • I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

    Hi There,
    I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.
    Nelson

    Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
    Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

  • Synch music from iPod to new MacBook Pro .. can't find my music in iTunes

    Hello, this is Bryan ....
    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro because my old MacBook was 7 years old. All of my data was saved on external hard drive (time machine) files and apps transferred fine. ... one thing which did transfer to my new computer is my music... Perhaps I don't know how to access iTunes properly ?
    I have an iPod which I use with my stereo all the time   ... it has never been synched to the New MacBook Pro.
    The iPod has 4,530 songs and some playlists ... I don't want to lose this data.
    Can someone help me ???

  • Sync photos and music from iPhone to iMac.

    When syncing an iPhone 5 (ios7) to an iMac (Mavericks) only the photos in the camera roll sync to iPhoto and not those photos that are in albums. Also, the only music that syncs to the mac is the music purchased from iTunes and not music added from iTunes on another machine.
    How do you get all music and photos to sync to the new machine?
    Many thanks.

    It will automatically do it when you plug it in, weather you have aperture or iphoto. when i plug my iPhone 4 in it will open aperture for example. If it doesn't do it automatically, go ahead and do it manually from device, iPhone section in iTunes. its like a file layout and on the top it will say photo, apps, music. etc. click photos and sync to iPhoto or aperture.

  • Help transferring music from iTunes to new MacBook Pro

    Hi there,
    I am almost all set up with my new laptop. One last hitch; I can't seem to transfer my music over. I tried to put my library (about 6G) of music from my old (PC) laptop onto my iPhone and then figured I could just upload it from the iPhone to the MacBook but I when I try to sync it doesn't seem to want to work. I am getting a message that leads me to believe that when I try to sync the iPhone to the MacBook I will lose my iTunes library. Has anyone tried this? Is there an easier way to move the music files over?
    Thanks!!

  • Can't move contacts from iPhone to new MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    my father-in-law has an iPhone 3G which he's used with his PC without a problem. I finally convinced him to buy a MacBook Pro (which he did today) and we've been unable to move the contacts from the iPhone to the laptop. The phone is connected to iTunes and all looks normal but when we select "contacts" to be synced to the laptop and then click apply, nothing happens. Tried to sync it, the phone and iTunes say "syncing" but the contacts are not showing up in the laptop's address book - very embarassing. I'm assuming it's something I'm doing wrong but I can't for the life of me find an answer.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Ole

    Before you connect your phone to the mac, you should make sure that auto sync when a phone or ipod is connected is NOT CHECKED in preferences for itunes.
    Once you've authorized the account, you should then transfer your purchased apps & music to itunes from your phone.
    You do that by going up to file, select transfer purchases made on this ipod to this computer. All of your purchased apps & music will be transferred, music you ripped on your own or photos will not be, you'll have to restore those from a backup.
    If you already have contacts in your address book, you should have received the merge prompt when you synced. Are you sure in itunes you have the contact tab checked?

  • Transfer iTunes from iPhone onto new MacBook Pro...?

    Many of my songs are...well, all of them are...not strictly speaking, downloaded from iTunes. Most of them I downloaded from mediafire, 4shared, etc...I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to transfer all of my music that I downloaded onto my iPhone onto my MacBook, but it seems that syncing it won't do the task - either because the music is not back up on iTunes, or simply because of the way that the iPhone is configured (it has a different syncing process than a regular iPod). I looked up some answers on Google, but all of them require me to download programs, and I'm not sure I want to put my computer at that sort of risk. Is there an easy solution to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Paula

  • Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

    I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

    Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.

  • How to get my photos and music from my iphone to my hp laptop without having windowed on my laptop

    i just got anew hp laptop.  it does not have windows.  I want to be able to link my iphone with my laptop but don't know how.  want to be able to get my photos and music from my phone to my laptop and be able to load music on to my ipod. Is this possible to do

    I think there is still no APP or a way to copy music or videos from Iphone to PC. Pictures can be copied when you access the storage of the iphone from PC. Not sure if you are using other laptop before with itunes where you organize everything about your iphone. If you have, copy the Itunes folder from My Music folder and paste it on the new laptop you have, (you need to install Itunes first on your new laptop before doing this)

  • How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your 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 iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How can I transfer my photos and music from my iphone 4 to my new iphone6

    How can I transfer my photos and music from my IPhone 4 to my IPhone 6 ?

    if the music was downloaded via iTunes you will be able to access it from iCloud when you set up the new device. other music that was synced to the iPhone would need to be synced to the new iPhone from the computer that you used to sync the iPhone 4.
    photos can be transferred via the following method.
    plug iPhone 4 into iTunes on computer. select back up to computer.
    Plug in the iPhone 6 and press restore. when setting up the iPhone press restore from iTunes. plug into computer and a complete copy of the iPhone 4 will be put onto the iPhone 6. except for the music...(you will have to download your apps again from App Store but you can find them all under the purchased tab on App Store. you won't have to pay for the apps again)
    please note this will delete the current memory on iPhone 6
