New computer but apps wont sync
Hey guys
I've just bought a new computer and I have authorised the computer to my iphone. When i try to sync the apps, it attempts to wipe all my previously purchased and downloaded apps. Is there a way to keep all the downloaded apps while using my new computer?
Thanks.
You can transfer your purchases by connecting your iphone, right clicking on it in the device list and choosing "transfer purchases". This will copy all media data bought in itunes to your computer.
A manual backup will save data to your computer. Right click and choose "backup" Make sure autosync is deactivated in itunes and at least one contact and event is set up on your computer to be able to get the merge prompt. See what's inside a backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Your ipod will be wiped during the first sync, you can restore it using the manual backup you made.

I just got a new computer and none of my ITUNE songs or games are downloading. I am stressing because I just ordered an IPHONE 4 and I am giving my daughter my old phone. I cant afford to start all over on my songs and games. HELP
Your music/apps/etc will ONLY be where you put them. They do not magiacally appear in other places.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
You can redownload some content in some countries:

Hello. Please can anyone help?
After having issues with my iphone4, I was told to restore it as it was probably a software issue.
So today I have made sure to back up to icloud, and onto my computer / itunes. After restoring my phone, you go through the steps on the iphone, to resore the back up from itunes there shows a symbol of the itunes and a wire to connect. I have connected to itunes and it will not sync. All the information is there on my computer, it goes through all the steps to sync, 1-6 then goes back to itunes. But none of the data is on my iphone, my iphone is still on the 'connect to itunes' symbol!
Am i doing something wrong? How can I get all my data back onto my iphone?
Thank you.Try on another computer with another USB cable.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Help !
I bought a new ipod and it was stolen so I tried to reconnect my old ipod classic 30 gb back to the computer but it wont sync just the red flashing no entry sign Ive tried all the suggestions under help but no go
ThanksHi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -

I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?

You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer. -
I had my laptop repossesed and it had all my bak up from my iphone 4 on it i have a new computer but i cant put all my pics vids apps and songs on my itunes i really need help with this because alot of the photos and stuff i have on my iphone are sentimental as are the songs which all havnt been purchased through itunes please tell me there is a way to do this??//
Set the iTunes to prevent automatic syncing before you plug it in the first time. You should be able to extract any photos in the camera roll as you would from any other camera. You can transfer purchases to get anything you actually purchased from the iTunes store off the phone and into iTunes. Made sure you have at least 1 contact in whatever application you intend to sync contacts to. This will give you the option to merge them. If you don't, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.
As for extracting anything else, media sync is meant to be 1 way only. Computer>iPhone.
As for media that wasn't purchased on the phone, you can try a 3rd party program that 'may' be able to extract it, but this isn't sanctioned or supported by Apple in any way. Technically, you're out of luck if you don't have a backup from the computer that was repossesed.
