New computer, library won't transfer to iphone

My old computer crashed and I upgraded to a new one running windows 7.  I backed up 25 gigs of my old music catalog and restored it to my new computer.  Loaded everything into itunes and authorized the computer.  Everything works fine but it won't let me manage my iphone.  It won't let me drop any new music on to it or delete current iphone songs.  Has to be something simplet but I can't figure it out.  Help!  I need a new playlist!
iphone 4, everything is up to date, it will sync apps, just not music

Try getting another hard drive, when one of my computers crashed, i drained its info into another drive, and hooked it up to the new computer, and i didnt lose any information either.

  • HT1386 new computer, how do I transfer from Iphone to new computer itunes library?

    I purchased a new computer.  Thought I backed up to Itunes before but nothing shows in music library once I log in.  How do I preserve whats on phone to itunes on new computer?

    iTunes will only transfer music purchased from iTunes from the phone to your iTunes library.  Music from other sources can only be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library using 3rd pary software such as Touch Copy.  Your only other options would be to re-import this music from other sources (such as CDs) or to copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • I have a new computer. How to transfer my iPhone backup?

    Hello,
    I have a new computer which I will now be using to sync my iPhone on a daily basis. As you can only use one computer terminal to sync and backup your device, I need to move the backup to my new computer. How do I do this?
    The only problem is that I don't want iTunes on the new computer to wipe everything: all app data etc. At the moment I don't mind it wiping my iPod on the iPhone as I'd like to re-build and re-organise that anyway. It's mainly just so the app data doesn't go.
    All I want to know is how I can move the backup for my iPhone to the new computer and get it to work.
    I hope someone can help: thanks in advance!

    Transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new. If you still have the old you can just connect them to the same network and copy over the network. Rather than transfer the backup (which contains data, but not apps or music) just create a new backup on the new computer BEFORE syncing. Go to Preferences in iTunes, Devices tab, and check "Prevent ipods, etc" from syncing. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes and choose Backup.

  • HT1386 I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous from my account???

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

  • Had to get a new computer, how do I transfer all my data from the iphone to the new computer?

    Had to buy a new computer, how do I transfer all data from my iphone4 to new computer?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - 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

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Got a new computer and when I plug my Iphone in it says I this phone is already with another itunes library erase and replace.. I don't want to lose everything on my phone cuz there is nothing in my itunes

    My Computer crashed and I lost everything on it. Just got a new computer and when I plug my iphone into it to sync it says Ii can't because its already synced with another itunes I've logged into my itunes acc.) It says I must earse and replace with new itunes I don't want to lose everything on my phone by doing this is there anything else i ca do

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

  • Do I have to install itunes on my new computer before I can transfer my library?

    Do I have to install iTunes on my new computer before I can transfer my account and library, and how do I do this if I had 9 on my old computer and there is iTunes 10 now?

    No you do not have to uninstall iTunes on the PC in order to unsync with the Mac. And where you got that information about having iTunes content on two products only is beyond me. You can associate your Apple ID and iTunes content with up to 10 devices but no more than 5 devices can be computers.
    If you could copy the iTunes library to your new Mac, that would be the ideal thing to do in order to transfer the iTunes library over. That would make the process pretty easy. You can also download most purchased content again as long as you use the same Apple ID and you could move content into your iTunes library that way.
    You will need to authorize the new Mac for your iTunes content. Launch iTunes on the Mac and got to Store>authorize this computer.
    There are many articles that will guide you through copying the iTunes library to the Mac and you can look through a bunch of them here.

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.
    Connect your device to your computer. On iTunes left Pane, select iPhone under 'Devices'; then on the right Pane, select PHOTO tab.  Make sure Sync Photo box is checked, and "from" box selected the folder that has Droid's photos.  Then click the SYNC or APPLY button on the lower right window.

    I have a new computer and want to sync my Iphone and Ipad2 to the new computer (PC) instead of the old one, is there an easy way to do this?

    Extract from one of our senior participant.
    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.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / 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.

    If you only copy your Files you will lose your favorites. The best Way to copy your Library to the New Computer is to Export your libery (you can find the Export in the menue). This will copy your Wohle Library on cd. If you Out in These cd's in your new Computer iTunes will copy it with all informations.
    While that may work, it is extremely time consuming and unnecessary.
    Copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer will keep the library intact.

    If you still have the old computer see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If you don't have your old computer, but you made regular backups of it, restore the most recent backup using the backup software that you used to make the backup. You will have to read the instructions for it.
    If you don't have your old computer and you did not back it up regularly see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
