Re-sync iphone data?

Hello everyone,
The reason Im contacting you is I have a question regarding phones.
I had a 32gb iphone 4 and I lost it. When I had it, every couple of weeks I'd plug it into the laptop and it would automatically sync all my stuff.
So, I have 2 questions I was hoping you could answer for me.
1) If I was to get another iphone - would I be able to plug it into the laptop and get my stuff back? Im mostly concerned about the photos.
2) If I only got a 16gb iphone - what would be the story there? As I had about 20gb of stuff synced? Would I still be able to retrieve my stuff?
Any help you could give me would be big time appreciated,
Cheers

Your content can be separated into media, apps and data (including photos). The backup includes your data, but not media or apps, which can be reinstalled from iTunes or redownloaded. As most of your content is probably media just choose less of it to sync when you set up the new phone.

Syncing iphone data into New Macbook Pro

Hey guys,
I read a few answers on the forum but I want clear confirmation if any of you could help. I lost data on my Macbook Pro as the hard drive crashed. I bought a new Macbook Pro and I want to sync the data of the iphone into the new computer.
I need to transfer, mainly...SMSes, Contacts, Photos, and mail data (My mail is all IMAP though which is good right? perhaps transfer that information would be nice).
Applications and the data on them if possible and music would be good.
Isit safe and as easy as plug and sync? I also have a Fruux Account but the iphone data is more updated because while awaiting my new laptop, I was using my iphone as the temporary computer.
Is there anything else I should do first? Sync Fruux first or vice versa and should I do anything else?
Thank you!

Good, glad you have a backup. So what you need to do is move those libraries from your PC to the new MBP and then import them into iTunes. Follow the instructions you will find here. I would recommend you move the files to an external HD.
Prior to doing that I would also recommend you read over Switch 101 and Mac 101. Both of these links will provide you invaluable information for someone making the switch from a PC to a Mac.

ITunes lost ... how to sync iPhone data back to blank iTunes ..

Hello Everyone,
Previous iTunes was lost and now have formatted and reinstalled Windows7 x64. iPhone (10.5.1) is currently backed up, via the new iTunes, to iCloud. And to the new computer as well. No other devices or computers involved.
How do I perform syncing operations without losing everything that's on my iPhone? Open to any solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Manually sync iphone & restoring files for particular app on particular date

Hi,
I opened up a text file for a particular application (PlainText), and accidentally deleted some stuff. I was under the impression that app data got synchronised, so I thought that I would be able to examine the unmodified text by opening up itunes on the pc and looking at the app data for PlainText. However when I did that, I soon realised that there was no way to even examine the files for PlainText unless the iphone was connected. When I connected the iphone, chose Apps->File Sharing->Apps->Plain text, and then downloaded the data (via "Save To..") onto Desktop, I found that the modified text file was the one which was downloaded onto desktop. I have several questions :
1)Is the app data in this section synchronised?
2)If (1) = yes, then was the reason that I could only view the modified text file due to the fact that automatic synchronisation is taking place when I connect my iphone to computer
3)If (2) = yes, then is there a way to manually sync app data.
4)Is there any way to view the files for a particular app from the last time I synchronised the iphone with the computer? i.e. Some way which will allow me to undo the changes like the above. I do realise that there is an undo feature in the iphone by shaking the phone, but I didnt realise it at the time and therefore lost the data.
Thanks

I think the answer to (1) is no for the following reason. Just now whilst the iphone was connected to itunes I created a file & folder in PlainText in the iphone, and these automatically appeared on itunes on the pc. So this particular section just seems to be the current snapshot of the iphone and not a snapshot of the apps at the last sync.

My old computer died, got new one, how do I sync my iPhone data TO my new PC?

My old computer hard drive crashed and I just purchased new PC. I would like to sync all my data from my iPhone TO my new computer. I authorized my new computer under iTunes but it will only sync the apps, songs, etc. that I purchased from my iPhone to my new computer.
I want to be able to save all my data especially my music that is stored on my iPhone to my new PC iTunes library. If this is not possible is there a way to just back up my iPhone data (music, audiobooks, video, ) to a normal storage device (hard drive, flash drive, etc.)?
All my photos I was able to save and back up just by opening up the Computer icon on the desk top and the doub;le clicking the iPhone under Portable Devices.
There must be a way to save and or back up the rest of the data on my iPhone in the same way. Does anyone know how or if this is possible?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your phone from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Set up your iTunes account, 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 phone 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 phone 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

HT1296 i synced my iphone to my computer but now it has all my ipod data how do i get my iphone data back

i synced my iphone yesterday now it looks like my ipod!!! please need help fixing this and getting all my iphone data(messages and contacts) BACK. How do i do this?

You must have somehow restored your iPhone from an iPod Touch backup file.
To recover you should restore your iPhone from the last iPhone backup file you have or from the Cloud if you were using it.

I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug. I want to sync my data - contacts most important - from my itunes account...is this possible? Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?

There are no contacts in itunes.
Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync. Just sync them to the new one.
Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup.

How do I sync my data from a windows phone to an iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2

i need help syncing my data from a windows phone to a iPhone.

Assuming you have your Windows Phone data synced to Microsoft's Outlook.com, or even Gmail,
You can setup the Outlook.com or Gmail account in Settings->Email, Contacts, Calendars->Accounts->Add Account
And it will download all data from there. Email, contacts, etc..
Other than that, you will have to export all your data from the Windows phone, and then use iTunes to Sync whatever is relevant onto the iPhone.

"Merging data" error when syncing iPhone 5s Calendar to MacBook Pro Calendar, using Mountain Lion

Since a failed attempt to sync data via iCloud (resulting in duplicate entries in Calendar and Contacts, missing data, and other oddities), whenever I try to sync the Calendars via iTunes, I repeatedly get the error message, "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone <name> because an error occurred while merging data." The Contacts sync fine, and the backup runs smoothly. The only discussions I can find in Apple Support are dated 2009 with older systems (I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1.5, iOS 7.1.1, but the problem occurred with iOS 7.0 and possibly 6.0 as well). Repairing permissions had no effect. I can't use the option to copy the Mac Calendar to the iPhone because new data are entered into the iPhone. Would appreciate guidance. I'm trying to avoid iCloud but if I have to go there to fix this, guidance for that would also be welcome.

I have iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 and iMac with Mavericks 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2.1.
I also got this error when I tried to sync iPhone with iMac (after a year when Apple disabled local USB cabel sync in Mavericks - thanks Apple for re-enabling it!).
I tried a number of things to no avail. Finally I tried three things - and hurraaa, can sync now! Unfortunatelly I didn't test sync among these three steps - so don't know which one fixed it - up to you to try. My guess is that it was the 3rd step, actually
Step 1: On my iPhone I opened Calendar and tap "Calendars" (top left). I have 7 items on the list (2 email accounts, Calendar, Home, Work, Reminders, Birthdays). Most of the calendar entries were in my Home calendar, only a few were in Work or Birthdays. I moved all of them to Home. I also checked whether there aren't any items without content.
Step 2: On the list of Calendars I had one custom item (Birthday in my local language). This item had only one entry in it. I deleted both the single entry and the custom item as a whole - so I left the default categories only.
Step 3: At the top of the list of Calendars there is an item "All from My Mac". I tapped this and thus enabled all of my calendar categories. Now the sync worked like a charm!
I actually noticed that when I synced, iTunes automatically checked all items under "Sync Calendars - Selected Calendars". Even if I manually deselected all except the "Home" calendar, as soon as I started to sync, iTunes checked all items automatically. This led me to thinking that if I check "All from My Mac" item in my iPhone it might work.
Good luck with your sync issue, hope you'll solve it.

Syncing iPhone (how to not loose data?)

I have just reinitialized my disk I was using to sync to my iphone, and completely reinstalled a fresh system. Now I'm trying to get my iphone data off my phone (like contacts) and onto my computer, how do I do this without loosing them? Can I sync my mac with my iphone and have the new mac get the iphone data and have none of it deleted off the phone?
If I loose this data off the phone I will have lost a great many things I need.

Yes, you can. Make sure that your address book and calendar have at least one new entry in them.
When you sync the iPhone for the first time it will prompt you to either override the iPhone or Merge the information. Select merge.

I somehow erased everything (all important dates) off my ical on my mac and I'm afraid that if I connect my iphone that it will do the same there. Will my iphone sync the dates that are on the phone and add them to the ical? Or will it delete everything

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Yes.
Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,
