My old macbook is destroyed. I need to sync my iphone with my new macbook, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be easy considering I would need to be able to access my old macbook. Is anyone sure of how to do this without losing all my music, pictures, apps, etc?
Should not matter.
Why post here when there is MacBook and iPhone as well as iTunes forums and support.

I bought some music on my iphone and now i want to sync my music into my new macbook that i bought but i don't want to loss the music that i bought on itunes.
Hi there,
You can re-download purchased content from the iTunes store directly to your iTunes library or your iOS devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

If you no longer have access to the old PC or a backup see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Tell me how to download a newer version of itunes on my old mac so i can it will sync to my iphone please.
Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update twice. If you're actually using Mac OS X Server, you'll need to phone the online Apple Store instead of using the link I posted.

I want to sync my iphone to a new computer without loosing my apps, contacts, and photos
I need to sync my iphone3 to a new computer without loosing my data
Take a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 I think this is what you need. I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone (3GS) to sync with it again...without losing the apps. This page from OSXdaily is also useful: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/ I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone... It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything. Hope this helps.

I just fomatted my PC and I want to sync my Ipod with my new Itunes without losing everything.
the title says everything
This was posted in the "Using iPad" discussion site but it applies to an iPod Touch as well.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
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.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

Trying to sync my iPad and iPhone to a new account without losing all information
Okay here is the situation. I have an iPhone and an iPad all synced to my iTunes's account. My fiancé has as iPhone and our new iMac synced to his iTunes account. I am fully aware that you cannot merge two accounts. We would like to use his as our primary account since that's what we set up on our iMac. How can I sync the iPhone and the iPad without losing all the information on both?
You will need to connect both to your computer via your USB cord then launch iTunes. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386

Old laptop died, syncing an iPhone 4s to new laptop without losing data.
Hi, my laptop recently died, I have an iphone 4s thats about a month old and never made a backup to my external HD before the laptop broke. I have my music library saved to the external HD from a couple of months ago, but no back up of the phone itself. I don't want to lose things like my contacts, pictures and messages when synching to my new laptop- is there any way to avoid this happening? Would using the iCloud feature help to avoid this, as I am unsure if it will.
Also with the laptop breaking unexpectedly I didn't de-authorize the laptop for itunes, will this effect things?
Thanks for any help.Just because the laptop "died" does not mean the harddrive is dead. Unless the harddrive actually failed, it should be possible to simply extract it and put it into a drive case to access the data.
Then the iTunes folder can be copied to the new system and salvage everything.
If that is not possible, contacts should be synced with a supported application on the computer or to a cloud service. Unless you are solely dependent upon the iPhone for your contacts, they are not included in the backup.
All media and apps should be in your backup on your external drive, granted some will not be there. If you are in the US, the music can be re-downloaded via iCloud. Apps can always be re-downloaded at no additional cost. -
My Iphone was sync with Itunes on a computer then this computer broke down and i purchased another one. I was able to extract all the data from the old one. now how can i sync my phone with the new tunes without loosing any data?
Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes
You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you. -
