Sync Data from iPhone back to iTune

Because of my computer being formatted, all data has been lost. What I want to do is sync back all my data in iPhone to new iTune without changing any data in my iPhone. What should I do?

First things first, always do a backup. You can not copy from any iDevice back to your PC, you can thank apple for this and DRM. Google copy from ipod to computer. There is 3rd party software that will do this, some free and some paid.

No, the music sync is one way: Computer to phone.

Syncing contacts from iPhone back to iMac (Entourage)

Briefly, after both my Time Machine and hard drive failed, I lost all my data. My Entourage contacts re-main on my iPhone, and I want to sync them back to Entourage. I understand the process of "merging,"but I have run into a few obstacles: I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2), by the way. First, under Preferences, I have no options available under "Syncing." Then, when I connect my iPhone, and select "Info," I have no options here, either. I do have a number of contacts in Entourage in my iMac, but, apparently, iTunes no longer recognizes the existence of this program, so I can go no-
where. (My Entourage Contacts have been duplicated in my Address Book, but that doesn't show up, either. Something must be terribly corrupted.) I'm both frustrated and perplexed, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. pah

Something to check when syncing contacts from iphone back to computer, make sure to open address book and enter at least one contact.
Then when you connect the iphone, you should get a message asking if you want to merge the data.
Click merge and this should copy all contacts from the iphone back into address book.
the same goes with ical also.
Make sure there is at least one event in ical.
Now to move the data in address book and ical to entourage is set in the entourage preferences in the sync services section.
Hope this helps.

Deleted data from iphone thanks to itunes synchronisation

Yesterday, without realising it, I synchronised my iphone (thanks to this automatic synchronisation service offered as a default on itunes, grrrr) to my husband's itunes account which had NOTHING on it. I have now lost everything on my iphone, including apps, photos, purchased itunes, saved contacts, everything. The setting on the iphone has gone back to basics. Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to recover everything that itunes deleted from my iphone? I have searched through itunes and my iphone, and there is nothing that specifically answers the issue of accidentally deleting data from iphone due to itunes synchronisation. HELP!

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred via the iTunes sync/transfer process from a single computer only.
Even with iTunes set to sync an iPod or iPhone automatically when connected, when connecting an iPhone to iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync with the iPhone, a warning message is provided along with a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first, which must be approved.
Contacts on your iPhone are not touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported address book application on the computer which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, which is not selected automatically.
3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on a computer that is logged in with your iTunes account or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, but not the same with music, which can be downloaded once.

Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Transfering data from iPhone BACK to Mac

Hi. My Mac's hard drive recently crashed and everything is wiped out. I have a new hard disk now.
My question is: How do I transfer data FROM my iPhone... BACK to my Mac? I would like to transfer data from my iCal, iTunes, iPhotos and contacts.
Would appreciate some advice. It's been a very frustrating experience. I don't want to screw up and end up deleting all my data from my iPhone instead.

While I have read and checked, and looked into this topic, there
isn't a whole bunch of stuff that is easily found via online search
even if the search terms or words are changed around quite a bit.
For just moving iTunes music, that is easier than data; and I can
see the need to re-integrate data and your stuff back to a Mac
especially if you need to restore the computer, should it fail. The
items on an iPhone or iPod Touch, etc, would be essential to a
multi-tasking user who has a home base and needs to save and
use this stuff between several devices you have and own.
Most of the sync information on how to move stuff, tends to delete
the peripheral content from the iPod, iPhone, etc and sets them
back to some pre-used state or default initialization. There must
be some other way, that actually lets the user take control over
items so you can archive and restore, or reuse them in your Mac.
So, with the odds not looking good, on retaining content should
one go through with the often suggested sync or other wiping
results of attaching a Mac to a portable iPod, etc, be careful to
not do that unless you have that content somewhere else first!
Is there a way you could use a gmail account to save and move
items, perhaps if you can upload content there, it can be saved
into a computer via email (wireless, etc) and save it that way?
For the iTunes music, you could check into and see if this thing
called (iTunes, backward) may work. I have not read a lot about
it, though it has been around awhile. Not sure what else it can do.

In any case...

Can you transfer data from iPhone back to your computer hardr drive?

Sadly, due to a computer virus, I had to wipe my computer HD clean. I've reinstalled Windows and most of my software, is there a way I can transfer my photo's from my iPhone back to my computer?
Thanks!

Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer process only. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
Since I haven't heard that a Windows virus can be included with a jpeg file, did you include the photos store on your computer's hard drive with your computer's backup along with all other important data before wiping the hard drive due to the virus?
If not, there are 3rd party paid utilities available that provide transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost.

Having Trouble getting data from iphone 4 to itunes so I can ultimately transfer to 4s.

Original itunes machine is dead, so I deauthorized all machines and authorized current machine and couldn't sync items from phone to machine. Apple then told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall, have done so but still can't get it to sync all items from phone to itunes library. (It only synced purchased songs, none of the apps) I want all the data on my phone to go to my computer, not what is on computer but can't get there. Any suggestions?

Media sync (music videos, etc.) is 1 way. Computer to iPhone. Items purchased on the phone can be transferred using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes. If you have music on the phone that was synced to it from another computer but not purchased from iTunes, you will either have to use the backup of your old computer to get it on the new one, as suggested above, or invest in 3rd party software to extract it from the phone.

Transfering Playlists from iPhone back to iTunes

Is there a way to transfer my Playlists from my iPhone back to my iTunes account? I had to re-download iTunes and have recovered everything except for my 40+ Playlists. Thanks!

My hard drive crashed on my PC - how do I restore from iPhone back into iTunes?

My hard drive crashed on my PC - how do I get the 24 GB of music off my iPhone and back into iTunes?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Reverse Synch - Restoring data from iPhone back to my PC (XP)?

The laptop I was using for synching my iPhone died and I have no backup (yes, stupid of me). Is there a way of moving the data (musicpodcastsOutlook 07 calendar and contacts) from my iPhone to another laptop? Right now what's on my iPhone is the most up to date info.
thanks in advance.

The sync function for address book contacts and calendar events is bi-directional but not for music, video and photos.
iTunes includes an option for transferring purchases from an iPod or iPhone to iTunes on another computer. With the iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This will transfer music, video, etc. that was purchased from the iTunes Music Store only.
Make sure the iTunes preferences on this other computer does not automatically sync with any iPhone when connected.

Sync video from iPhone 4 to iTunes..?

I've just got my new iPhone 4 (upgraded from iPhone 2G) and it's superb!
I recorded my first video today but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to sync into iTunes. Everything else works fine.
I'm quite sure I'm missing something blindingly obvious here but does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks.

Page 122 of the manual:
"Uploading Photos and Videos to Your Computer
You can upload the photos and videos you take with Camera to photo applications on
your computer, such as iPhoto on a Mac.
Upload photos and videos to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer.
Â Mac: Select the photos and videos you want and click the Import or Download
button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.
Â PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application.
If you delete the photos and videos from iPhone when you upload them to your
computer, they’re removed from the Camera Roll album. You can use the iTunes
Photos settings pane to sync photos and videos (videos can be sync with Macs only)
to the Photos application on iPhone. See “iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes” on page 55."

How do I reverse sync ringtones from iPhone 6 to iTunes

I have an iPhone 6 plus with custom ringtones and they work fine. However I need them to show up in the iTunes tone library when I connect my phone. I want to use one of the tones for a movie clip in iMovie. How do I get those tones from my iPhone 6 to iTunes?

Actually, ringtones, unlike other content purchased from iTunes, can only be downloaded once.
