New computer, no backup, can I import from iphone?

My computer crashed and unfortunately I don't have a backup of my iphone.  I downloaded Itunes to my new laptop and I'm afraid if I choose Sync I will erase all the contacts/apps/music on my iphone. Is this correct?  And if so how can I import all music at least from my iphone to itunes?  Will I lose all my phone numbers as well?
Thanks.

It will erase everything.
No backup is not good.
Authorize your computer for your itunes account.
Connect iphone. DO NOT sync.
Click File>Transfer Purchases
Then put in at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  When you first sync, you should get the option to merge the data.  Choose it.
Once everything is on the computer make a backup copy of your computer and always maintain it.

  • Bought a new computer and I can't get my iphone to backup on it

    So frustrated, can't get my iphone to backup on my new computer.  I activated the computer but still no info coming across.  Any suggestions???

    The sync process for iTunes content is a not a true sync process, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer. 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.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc. Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.

  • HT1766 I got a new MacBook Air. I need to sync my iPhone with the iTunes on my new computer so I can back up my iPhone. How do I do this without losing my pictures/contacts, etc. on my iPhone?

    I have not updated my phone yet because I know it needs to be backed up first. However, I cannot do this in fear of losing everything on it if I sync to my new itunes. I am not really concerned with losing music, just do not want to lose pictures, notes, etc.

    First you need to copy the entire iTunes folder from the
    old computer to the new one.  You should also make sure
    that anything on the old computer that goes on the iPhone
    is present on the new computer. 
    If it is a Mac, this process is usually pretty easy by using
    Migration Assistant which will transfer all that stuff over to
    the new Mac.
    If you are using a PC, I will defer that to someone else for
    all but the iTunes stuff.  You will do the same thing on the
    PC, that is copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer.
    Migration assistant is available to move things from a PC,
    but not sure how well that works.
    When openning iTunes for the first time, you will need to hold
    down the Option key on the Maccbook Air and you will
    be presented with a dialog box and you will select open existing
    library and navigate to it.  Failure to do this, will create a default
    library with nothing in it and you will have to move stuff again.
    So if all the data is the same, you should be able to sync
    just fine.

  • New photos app crashes on file import from iPhone 6

    Anyone else having a problem with a larger size import (1400+ pictures) from their iPhone to Photos?
    Photos has crashed on me twice while trying to download pics from my iPhone.

    Either try importing in smaller batches or try using Image Capture to upload the photos from your iPhone to a folder on the Desktop.  If that's successful you can import them in batches from the folder. There might be a damaged image file that is causing the crash. This way you can narrow down to which one it is (if that's what's causing the crash) with the incremental imports.

  • New Computer - How to get my apps from iPhone?

    Hi.
    I re-installed my OS 10.5 as I was having some problems. Im now trying to sync my iPhone with the computer and it says that my iPhone is linked to another account/computer.
    Any ideas how i can get my apps onto this computer?
    Thanks, Benji

    Don't forget to back up manually. You can do this by right clicking on the phone in the device list and choosing "backup". All settings and 3rd party data will be transferred to itunes as well. See what's inside a backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event to make sure your contacts and calendars are merged, if you didn't sync your phone after the reinstalled OS.

  • Import from iPhone to iCal shifted by one hour

    I have recently synced iPhone through iTunes, and my appointments imported from iPhone to iCal are all shifted by one hour. Example, on iPhone, an event is scheduled for 4:30 PM, and the same event in iCal is listed at 3:30PM. The event was first entered on iPhone, and then appeared in iCal after Syncing in iTunes.
    How can I import from iPhone to iCal without this discrepancy?

    Jeff,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Use the procedure listed in: MobileMe: How to reset sync data.
    Use the procedure listed under: "To reset your MobileMe Sync data in Mac OS X 10.4.11"
    In step #5 be sure to select the option that allows you to replace the information on your computer with the information from MobileMe.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
