Sync an iPhone to MacBook w new HD?
My MacBook hard drive died. I installed an SSD drive and reinstalled MacOX 10.6.8. My iPhone had 1600 songs on it, last synced from the old dead HD. Some purchased, some original, some burnt from CDs I own. Because of the dead HD, some originals now only exist on this iPhone. A normal sync threatens to overwrite the iPhone, a solution I cannot have. Is there a way to transfer the iPhone iTunes library to my revived MacBook SSD HD? Thanks in advance for workable answers.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?
I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
Help...The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer. -
Hi there,
Well the title says it all really.
I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
Many thanksPlease search the forums. This has been covered here extensively.

I sync my iphone 3gs to my new iphone 4s...
I sync my iphone 3gs to my new iphone 4s but i don't see my songs in the itunes (no content), the calendar is emty and it only transfered some of my contacts (no favorites). Any body can help? Please?
Ok. I fixed the old phone and was able to do the icloud back up. Everything came back to my new ph, even the messages and the call records! But in the old ph I had music and it didnt sync to the new one. The music is in the "manually added song" list. I can see this list when I plug my old ph, click music and scroll down. I need to transfer them to the new ph. The "Sync Music" is selected and the "selected playlists, artists,albums and genres" is selected also. If I click "entire music", will it transfer ALL I have in Itunes or only in that ph (which is what I need)? Thank you

I bought my wife a Mac book air to replace her windows lap top and want to sync her IPhone 3GS to her new computer. The phone is currently synced to a machine running windows xp. Is this possible ?
Did a bit more research on this and moving iTunes isn't enough. You will only get the iTunes library and not data like contacts, etc. You should take both computers to the apple store. They will migrate your data from one to the other for you.

your stuff will not magically appear just because you log into iTunes on a new computer !

the following post by Zevoneer, though slightly off-topic, says it all:
Did you back up your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
*You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download*. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
You might also want to check out these pages for future reference:
How to back up your media in iTunes
Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
purchased apps can be re-downloaded free of charge. see _*How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store*_.
good luck !
