Sync - FROM a full iPhone3Gs, TO a empty/clean/new install, of iTunes

I had problems with sync between iTunes-iPhone3Gs from day 1.
I have been using iTunes for the last 5-6 years, for my music-libery without any serious problem. The 1 day i connectet my iPhone, all seems to go/sync well. But allready the next day, i got problem with syncing the iPhone. I had to rename my iPhone, before i could sync again. I had this problem for some time(with 8-9 new names after all) and today i turned on my PC and everything in iTunes WAS: WIPED - EMPTY - CLEAN!!?
Well i cleaned out all "left-overs" of iTunes-Files, and made at new clean install(of iTunes - Last Version)
My problem is ....i cant find any ways to: sync my full iPhone over to empty iTunes( = load-off all my stuff FROM the iPhone TO iTunes on my PC)
and plz ..read what i ask for! - I KNOW, i can sync iTunes to my iPhone(but thats NOT what i ask for!) - the OTHER way arrround: FROM the iPhone, TO iTunes ...HOW is that done?!?
No matter how i try(to load all my: app's , programs, music, pictures, films ect. ect) ..it tell me, that it will copy all the stuff from iTunes(read that: Nothing) to my iPhone ..and I stop there ..because it really mean that it will wipe my iPhone too, if I proceed.
Since i had enough(when I lost all my music, thanks to a iTune-failure) i really dont wanna loose any more by making a "sync-wipe" to my iPhone!
For crying out loud... why do Apple make this so hard to work/figure out?? - this should be an easy task to save all my stuff and savings from my iPhone, into iTunes ...but NO ...it seem like the only thing it alows, is syncing FROM iTunes ..and since my iTunes is emty ..my iPhone will also end up emty, after a sync....!
Maan.. really, there should be names for making program that stupid(or hard to use/understand) - i like to eat apples, so i dont think that should be the word....!

So.. buttonline is - im ****** as long as i use an iPhone.
Thats sad - I really liked the phone ..the way it worked and the wide range of apps, that made it possible to tailoring the interface, to a degree beone my imagination.
But the fact, that because of "the potential" of someone maybe "stealing music", they throws the phone in chains ..and give this phone and an extra disadvantage compared to other mobiles?!?
To be honest - I'd rather lose the ability to listen to music on the iPhone than to end up with worse backup options.
This is primarily a phone - not an mp3(4)-player (apple has their ipod for that!) and it's grotesque to see how Apple choose to destroy the usability, just to ensure an unnecessary sideshow on the phone. That said - this is only a problem found on iPhone(Apple-product) - All other company has fully functioning solutions without it imposes restrictions on the phone usability - if Apple has a problem with this, they should prefer to remove music from the iphone, but to destroy the backup options with so many disabilities.
Music... That made me think alot!
I have(at home) more than 2000 CD's of music and those CD's, have ALL been bougth from legal stores/shops and should and should therefore be regarded as legal. I chose to copy all my music onto my private NAS Server, so everyone in my house can use it - Still fully legal(where I come from) because I own the music in CD's.
But because I did not buy music through itunes, itunes can not register or check if my music is legal. So I guess.. that itunes will probably judge me as a music thief, or what?!?
Sorry for doupllepost, but i could not edit my message

  • How do I sync my old library with a new install of iTunes on a seperate drive?

    I just recently installed an SSD on my PC and I want to run iTunes off of the SSD. My library currently resides on my old HDD witch also has the most current version of iTunes on as well. How can I sync the library that resides on my old HDD to the new install of iTunes on my SSD?

    can't if you do not have access to the old library (the usual workaround is to backup the old library and import it to the new itunes)
    for important data...
    sync your existing contacts with icloud, your text messages will not be disrupted, music will sync with whatever music you have on your new itunes, photos shoud still be in the camera roll (I would sync them to photostream before you sync, just in case).   Any photos on your phone that are not in camera roll or photostream... if you lost those pictures with the computer crash I would take screen shots (lock button + home button at the same time) of each photo so they show up in the camera roll.  App data may or may not be lost.  In my experience, it depends on the app.  Some of the apps recognize your apple ID and sync data over the internet with servers, some do not.  I would take note of important data (such as passwords in a password keeper if you have such an app) just in case if you lose that data.

  • How do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

    how do you sync only selected songs to your ipod using the new version of itunes?

    Same way you did with the previous versions of iTunes.
    To view the iPod in iTunes, Ctrl S to show the sidebar.
    Create a playlist, add songs and sync that playlist.
    Or drag songs to the iPod in iTunes.

  • I am on Windows XP. Updated to latest iTunes but it would not install. Tried again and the system hung. I did a restart and iTunes had completely vanished from my system. Tried to do a new install but it won't finalise. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    OK, lets do a complete overhaul to make sure it's working ok.
    First to check your Windows system file for any corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and see if it is ok.
    If it doesn't, will have to go through the whole process of uninstalling and installing acccording to the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    (Referenceinstructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components)
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • New computer, new install of iTunes - back-up and sync iPad?!

    I have a new computer and unfortunately the HD in my old one went belly up before I had a back-up of ITunes data. So I have iTunes installed on the new computer and I have logged into my iTunes account. No worries so far. But I'm concerned about back-up and syncing. Back-up I know how to do, although I understand this doesn't back-up everything on the iPad. My concern with syncing the iPad (full of Apps, music, photos etc) is will syncin copy everything from the iPad into my iTunes library or will the empty iTunes library copy to my iPad effectively wiping it?! I'm confused (again!)

  • How to sync iPhone apps from phone into new install of iTunes

    I just upgraded my 32 bit Vista PC to 64 bit Win 7. I had to do a clean install and am now reinstalling all of my software.
    I have an iPod and iPhone. I was able to sync and download all of my music from my iPod into iTunes easily. I have all of my apps on my iPhone and want to sync them (download them) into the new empty version of iTunes. I do not have any music on the iPhone, just apps. But, I have not found a way to download the apps from the iPhone into iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    With iTunes open, I connected the iPhone. I did the File-Transfer purchases. Then sync'd the iPhone with iTunes. All of the apps were now on both the iPhone and iTunes. Many of the apps had moved to other iPhone screens, but that was easy to rearrange.
    Thanks for your help!!

  • Is it possible to completely restore from Snow Leopard TimeMachine Backup after a clean Lion install?

    Hello,
    I cannot install Lion because my disk cannot be used, so I am planning to do a full, clean install of the system. My question is if it is possible to restore entirely from the TimeMachine backup after that or if it is better to spend time for figuring out how to remove the "this disk cannot be used" message in the lion installer?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Just a gut feeling, if you are getting "disk cannot be used" errors you need to figure out why first before you try to install something else. Have u run Disk Utility from within the Lion installer? Try that and see if what kindof errors you get there...
    But yes, assuming the disk is still in good shape, and you have the SL installer DVD, you should be able to do a reinstall and use the TM backup to get things back into the shape they were in before you tried to install Lion.

  • Should I upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite or go for a new install of Yosemite?

    I just asked this, got an answer, but it shows as restricted. I can't access my question, so I'll repost. Dammit!
    Macbook Pro 15.4” Retina, October 2012, 500g, 8g RAM.

In anticipation of the release of Yosemite, I have been ready to back everything up, screenshot all of my apps, print them so I can pick and choose after the install from where I have acquired everything. I am on a business scenario, not a typical home user. I use five external hard drives, so I can get it sussed.
    

I am a Windows convert, I still Bootcamp Win 7 because of some Sony video software I need to use for business. Upper end Photoshop user. I will be installing Final Cut Pro X as a replacement for the video apps when everything settles. I have researched and see that my BluRay production will take a hit because I will have a learning curve and there seems to be a bug with Final Cut Pro X and BluRay production. I'm sure it will be resolved by the time I am ready to switch. No biggy. I will be cutting the Microsoft cord when that takes place. I'm just giddy over it. Seriously.


    What I want to know, and this is a very noob question, is, I want to erase and format my hard drive to accept Yosemite when it hits the release date. I want to go with a clean install rather than an update.
    
To all of you seasoned and dyed in the wool Apple people, if you were two years into Apple as I am, would you install Yosemite, when it is released, as a stand-alone, fresh install instead an update install? I know it will wipe everything, but I want to build from the ground up as an OS install. Start over, as it sounds.
    
Do you people think it an imprudent act to wipe everything and start over or a better idea to update with the Yosemite release over/on top of Mavericks?

I know there will be bugs. I dealt with the Mail bug in Mavericks, then they fixed it. I know there will be issues, there always are.


    Does it even matter?
    
Thanks for your attention and for looking,

    Kelly J.

    I had thought the fall release of Yosemite would be a release candidate (baked.) Am I wrong? I know it's hard to know.
    Through my years as a Windows user, I always waited at least a year after their OS releases before jumping on them.
    There is no good answer anymore. All of the responses you have had in this thread are excellent. But Apple keeps changing the plan. I say wait until the 2nd minor release of Yosemite. The first 10.10.1 will be a bug fix release, probably within 3 weeks. The second will be a security update two weeks later. That is the point where it will probably be safe to install. You'll have a good 8 months of usage before having to worry about upgrading again. Also, this strategy applies to all releases, not just major ones. Apple doesn't do "bug fixes" like you may have been used to in the past. Builds 10.10.1, 10.10.2, etc. will be designed not to break any public interfaces, but that is as far as it goes. Otherwise, Apple is liable to change anything. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" simply doesn't apply anymore. Wait a week or two after each incremental update to see if there are big changes. Since you are a heavy Photoshop user, always check the Adobe forums before updating the OS.

  • Migrating from Server 2003 to Server 2012 Essentials or new install?

    We have a small network having downsized some years ago. Currently we have two 2003 servers  and 6 workstations. Originally we were running Exchange on one of the servers, but now Exchange is remotely hosted. I have a new server that will be
    running Essentials. I want to replace both of the old servers and just have the one new server. I am thinking that with such a small network, it will be easier just setting up the new server in a new domain rather than migrating. Does this make sense? Any
    pitfalls to be aware of?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I am thinking that with such a small network, it will be easier just setting up the new server in a new domain rather than migrating.
    Does this make sense?
    Based on your description, setting up the new server or performing a migration, will depend on the target which
    you want to achieve.
    For migration, it will help you to migrate the settings and data from that old server to the new server. For
    more details, please refer to following article and check if can help you.
    Migrating
    to Windows Server 2012 Essentials
    If just set up the new server, as you mentioned, it may be easier than migrating. For more details, please refer
    to following article and check if can help you.
    Install Windows Server Essentials
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgrading from 10.4.11 so I can download newer versions of iTunes

    I swear by, and at Apple! I have been limited to dial-up in my area until just a month ago, now I find myself exiled back to the dark ages. Trying to use my iPod again but I need to have at least iTunes 7.4, which I'm told (by Apple) that I need to upgrade to Leopard- which is no longer available! Working on a non-Intel processor, I can't upgrade to Snow Leopard. I feel I am once again hosed and shunned by Apple. What are my options please?

    BDAqua had me confused by that quote until I read http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13103593#13103593
    I see you also asked:
    I'm running OS10.4.11 and would like to install Leopard.
    Technically you'll need a CPU >867 MHz to do that. Some have done it on your model computer but I think it was just to prove a point.
    Any other improvements I need to consider for near future?
    More RAM.
    By the time you buy more RAM, possibly a CPU upgrade, and USB2 card you're probably talking just a newer used computer. I see G4 MDD models locally for $250.
    P.S. I carried on in BDAqua's style of answering your question in the other thread here. You asked a fairly open-ended question there and it really merited starting your own topic on the upgrade question. If we have too many sub-threads going in one topic started by another poster it gets confusing for all.
