New iphone, old Itunes

I broke my old Iphone. Lucky for me my wife just upgraded to the 3G. We still have her old iphone that I want to put on my account. Im wondering how to do that without my contacts and music getting deleted from my Itunes?

Syncing with iphone does not erase your computer.
Contacts are not stored in itunes, they are in your computers contact program.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

  • Moving to a new iPhone without iTunes

    My friend just bought a new iPhone. He had been syncing it for awhile to his old PC, which is now just dead in the water. He got a new iPhone and wants to move his data (contacts etc) to the new iPhone, without iTunes.
    He doesn't have an iCloud account yet, so I *think* he can just make an iCloud account on his old iPhone, turn on syncing, then go to the new iPhone and do the same.
    If not, then I have a Mac with iTunes. I can make a new user account for him, and then plug in the iPhone and I *think* backup the iPhone to iTunes.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  • Synching new iPhone to iTunes

    I've updated iTunes to 10.7 on my PC, my old iPhone 3GS was previously synched to this laptop computer. I want to now synch my new iPhone 4 to my laptop but iTunes wants me to synch using the old iPhone information which I do not want to synched to my new iPhone. How do I remove the old synch information so that iTunes only recognizes my new iPhone? If I choose to synch as it is now it will erase everything on my new iPhone which is not something I want to happen.
    On a whim I created a backup of my new iPhone through iTunes and let it synch, it erased all the info and replaced it with the previous info just as I suspected it would. It deleted all my contacts and apps.
    Can i uninstall iTunes and reinstall it and it will recognize it as a new synch? This is very screwed up that iTunes will not allow a new device to be synched without trying to erase all your data and synch to old information.
    Does this make sense? I've scrolled through previous questions but none, that I could find, match what i'm trying to do unless I read over a previous post. Thanks for any and all help.

    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone with the cable - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.
    You should then be able to transfer purchases from the iPhone to your iTunes.
    To transfer other content you can use PhoneView from www.ecamm.com.

    Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists.  If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

  • HT201269 I just synced my new iphone through itunes and it deleted my new pictures.  is there any way to get them back?

    I just syned my new iphone through itunes and it deleted all of my new pictures.  is there anyway to get them back?

    Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes every once in a while? If yes, there are chances that iTunes has taken last backup of your photos, contacts, etc. that you want back.
    Connect your iPhone with your PC. launch iTunes, right click on your device and click on "Restore from Backup". Choose the latest backup to proceed.
    If you configured iCloud for backup before you restored your iPhone. Go to Settings -> iCloud -  > and login using your Apple ID. Once you've logged in, all the photos, contacts, mail, messages should be back on your iPhone. This may take a while (depending on your network).
    Alternatively, if you are only now setting up your iPhone, choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the setup screen. Login with Apple ID and the iPhone will be restored from the latest iCloud backup.

  • New iPhone / Old Tiger MacBook that can't upgrade to new iTunes - will iCloud save me?

    Hi guys,
    Thanks in advance for your advice.  I have a newer iPhone (jailbroken and unlocked if that matters) and an older MacBook 10.4.11 on Tiger.  I tried to link up my new phone with iTunes but got the error that I must have the newer iTunes which is not available for Tiger.  I dutifully tried to upload to Leopard but my computer just stalls at the reboot.   I have made 10g of space on it but it just spins and spins.  It could be my disk drive or maybe more space is needed?   I have two levels of questions
    1.   Will the new iCloud service in the Fall bypass this problem anyway?   I could if needed upload things to my work newer at-work computer if it somehow can upload my iphone content from the old phone and then wait it out until September.
    2.  Thoughts on why the upgrade won't take for my Tiger MacBook?  
    Best,
    Summer

    You mentioned you had a newer 'at work' computer?
    You could sync your old phone to that one and than sync your new phone using the same iTunes account and password.
    Your photos, as you probably know, are synced from a photo folder on your computer. If you have this folder shared or on an external drive you could plug that drive into the 'work' computer and sync from that.
    An easier method may be for you to back-up your old iPhone on the 'work computer' and then restore the new iPhone from that back-up on the 'work computer'. This would sync your photos, iCal, contacts, etc.

    Plug it in and sync it.
    If you have the old phone backed up and want all the info from the old iPhone on this iPhone select Restore from backup.

  • Can I transfer the photos from old iphone to new iphone using itunes

    can I transfer the photos from old iphone to new iphone using itunes

    You can use iTunes or iCloud to move data from old iPhone to new iPhone. If you want a fast way you can try FonePaw iOS Transfer. Here I show you how to transfer data from iPhone to new iPhone:
    First of all, backup old iPhone:
    -Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    -Tap Back Up Now.
    -Wait until the backup finishes.
    Then set up your new iPhone (When the backup of your old iPhone is finished, turn on your new iPhone ):
    -Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    -Tap next.
    -Enter your Apple ID and password.
    -Choose the backup of your old iPhone and tap Restore.

  • New Iphone/old iphone /itunes(2 computers)

    Hi
    I am having a issue with itunes
    I just set up a new laptop, but still have old one with itunes on it(toshiba) I had an iphone 4 which i used with the toshiba to add music to it.
    I bought a new iphone 5c yesterday and set it up using the old the  laptops itunes -toshiba- using the restore setting, so it copied everything (but music for some reason) to my new phone) I think the reason it didnt copy music is becacuse i remeoved all my music , although not off itunes, from my music libary eg computer> user>music folder.
    I am going to sell the iphone 4
    I have just set up my new laptop(hp), and as i couldnt get music through the old itunes on the tosbia, i downloaded itunes on to the new hp, plugged in the iphone 4, copied its playlist , removed the iphone 4, plugged in iphone 5c and added the playlist on to it.
    When i was doing this, i cant remember at what point, on the new laptop, i got a message syaing all my stuff will be erased if synced- so i hit exit. All the data/contacts/music is still on the iphone 5c-- it wasnt erased.
    My questions
    - I no longer want to use the toshiba- should i de-authorise it/ then delete itunes? would this then make my new hp the main one and not delete anything?
    - I have enabled home sharing- should this be removed?
    -I am in the proccess of waitng for the old number on the iphone 4 to chnage to the iphone 5c(will be done tuesday) . After thats done, I want to erase everything off the iphone 4- how do i take it out of either itunes?
    -Once the iphon 4 is out of the way, and hopefully the toshiba itunes gone -should it be ok?
    - How do i then get it to back up the iphone 5c assumeing everything else is ok?
    - Both the itunes on the accounts are diffrent, eg one has playlists ones dosent,  I have just seen that a nano i had years ago is still regersted to the toshiba- i dont have it anymore, so will i need to remove that as well? Its not registering the iphone 5c on this account(eg the email account i am using now)
    I just want one account, that will work with one device-iphone 5c- i want to remove the nano, and remove the iphone 4(either before or after resell)
    Sorry this if this is a bit of a mess
    Rachael

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The 5 limit is for computer authorisations, there is a limit of 10 for associated devices, but sure it can be removed, you can do this in your account settings in iTunes on a computer.
