How do I keep photos on iphone when syncing for first time

I gave my iPhone 4 to my son as an 8th grade graduation gift.
He now wants to sync it to his macbook, so I helped him set up an itunes account.
When we go to sync it, it says it will wipe the phone clean.
He has some music on there from my itunes acct, and alot of photos he has taken.
How can he do an initial sync without losing his dat (mostly photos)
Thanks!

I am not sure if you can do this if it is your first time on a new iTunes account, but I like to uncheck the box that says something like "Automatically manage your media". This means that iTunes does not care what apps and music etc. that I have on on my phone and if I want to add something I just click and drag a media file onto my phone's name and if I want to delete something I just view files on my phone via iTunes and delete it. I never need to check and uncheck songs in iTunes using this method. Itunes also never has to automatically delete and replace "outdated" media this way. If you can access this checkbox on the Device Summary page when you connect to your phone to iTunes, I highly recommend trying this.

About charging iPhone first time.

I accidentally did not charge my brand new iphone to 100% first time. Will it affect the battery life?
Waiting for reply.
Thanks.

You can charge an iPhone any time you want, for as long as you want. You can remove it from the adapter before it reaches full charge, and you can leave it connected for as long as is convenient, because there's a smart battery monitor in the phone that will not permit it to be overcharged.
One useful way to manage the battery is to charge the phone overnight, every night, so it is at 100% in the morning. This will get your through the day unless you are a very heavy user (using the phone for more than 6-8 hours a day). If you set up iCloud backup it will also back up automatically over WiFi when connected to the charging adapter at night.

Help syncing for first time please

Hi
I have an iPod touch that has loads of apps installed. I want to sync it for the first time to a new itunes installation. I took the option to transfer purchases from the ipod, and can now see the apps in itunes. However, when I tick the option to sync applications, I get a warning that this will erase all applications AND DATA from the ipod. I obviously do not want to lose all the high score data etc. Will it really delete all apps and data and then copy all apps back to the ipod (thereby losing the data)? Or is this just a generic warning regarding syncing, and it will see that all apps match and to leave them alone?
THanks for any help.

You'll need to back up your ipod manually before syncing it to your new iTunes. Here's how to:
Make sure your still authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

Active sync problems / syncing only first time

Hello!
I have a Xperia Z3 and everything works fine, except the Active Sync with my one.com account.
The syncronization only works the first time directy after setting up the account. I can be shure, there is no problem with password or server adress because it syncs (even if it only works once)...
The next time i try to get new e-Mails the mail app says something like "no connection to the server." (Thats not the original error message, but its translated from the german error message)
My first attempt was to change the sync interval and tried from push to 10 minutes everything. Did not work.
I then deleted the account and established it again. Did not work.
The little syncing symbol next to the selection box always stays grey and does not move.
Does anyone have the same problem and/or can help me?
Thanks in advance!

Glad to hear that you got it working with another client
Hard to say what's wrong here as i haven't seen the issue before. But as it says that their ActiveSync support is in beta and i haven't seen the issue before i would suspect there are issues with the server and that it will work also with our client in the future.
In case yu want to give them more feedback about our client you can refer to this document: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/support/XperiaInBusinessZ3/Xperia_in_Business-Email_and_...

Help with syncing for first time..

I am wondering how to sync my email and iphone so that they are both updated simultaneously? Thanks

Check the servers used in your account settings on your computer. If your incoming mail server is pop.whatever.com, for example, it's a POP account. Some (e.g. gmail) can be set up either way.

Connecting iPhone first time

Previously I've used my PC to connect/ download software for my iPhone. Is there any reason why I can't/ shouldn't use our family MacBook Pro to do so going forward? Was wondering if there was an issue using 2 computers with iTunes to backup/ store iPhone information. Thanks.

It's playlists, songs, podcasts, etc. that are stored in the
iTunes folder (not the app), which is located in different places in
Windows vs. OSX. In OSX, it is located in the users home
directory in the Music folder. Each user on a computer will have
his or her own. Not sure where it is in Windows, but probably
a similar, although differenty named path of course, for
each user.

Mobile Accounts: Sync new accounts first time only.

When a user logs into a computer for the first time it is set to create a mobile account, however we don't use home directory syncing because the typical size of our 200 users' home directories is over 100Gb which makes syncing home directories not viable.
It would be very handy, though, to have it sync the first time only at login so that our user directory template is automatically copied over which will save a lot of time setting up new users.
Accoring to Apple's User Management v10.5 documentation on page 203:
+"To initially sync local and network homes so that the network home folder replaces the local home folder, choose “Create home with default sync settings."+
(This refers to Workgroup Manger -> Preferences -> the Mobility pane -> Account Creation -> Creation tab)
After testing, though, it is quite clear that this does not work - at least on my setup. I can get it to work by going to the Rules tab in the Mobility pane and ticking the sync at login and logout, but this syncs every time on both login and logout, which is not what I want to achieve.
Any ideas?

I also mentioned, that some Safari-Extensions I installed on the iMac are missing now on my iMac-Profile. I also mentioned, that some settings for 1Password are reset to default values.

HOw do I reverse sync iphone's calendar with ical on my mac?

I think I must have selected Mac to iPhone when syncing the first time and now it's set in perpetuity - I can't even merge my calendars, can only enter it all on my Mac's iCal for transfer to my iPhone calendar. If I enter data on my iPhone, then sync, it gets dumped.
So - how can I reset iTunes to make my device primary and Mac secondary? Or how can I reverse sync?

I found two solutions to this problem on a similar discussion topic.

I also experienced the same problem, i.e. iCal not syncing with iPhone. Contrary to most other users who experienced this problem, for me it appeared after updating the MacOS to 10.6.4, long before I updated the iPhone to OS4.
Now, thanks to janice0927 suggestion, it perfectly works, but I had to do one more thing in order to solve the problem:
Reset the sync history on your Mac. This is done in the iSync (located in the Application folder) preferences. After selecting "reset sync history", restart your Mac.
Afterward, follow the same procedure janice0927 suggested. For your convenience, I copied the steps here below:
1. You are going to be pushing your calendar from ical onto your iphone so you will lose any events that are currently on your iphone but not on ical -- you will need to update ical manually to ensure you don't lose anything important.
2. Scroll down in the info tab in itunes to the Advanced options at the bottom -- where it says replace the information on my iphone and select calendar.
3. Sync, check that your iphone calendar matches your ical calendar
4. Add a new test event to the iphone (the selection you made in advanced should have automatically deselected after you sync'd but check just to make sure)
5. Sync again -- check if your test event was transferred.
Good Luck!

Hope these work for any of you having the sync problem.

Syncing iPhone for the first time- all new items deleted & replaced w/ old.

Somebody, please help me. I've been looking through these threads for the last hour now and can't find any answers to my question.
I recently had my iPhone stolen and had to buy a new one. I bought the iPhone 4 and tried to sync it to my computer and recover old contacts. When I was prompted to sync to old phone or set up as a new phone, I chose to sync to my old phone, hoping to get some of the old pictures/contacts/etc back.
Unfortunately, I had NOOO idea it would delete all of my new pictures/contacts/etc. I thought it would be adding to, not replacing. My pictures are the most important to me, because I just had my 21st birthday and took over 200. Is there ANY way to get them back?
I never synced my new iPhone, so I don't think there is a back-up for it, as this was the first time I tried to set it up on the computer. (I got the phone two days ago.)
Please tell me there is a way. I don't want to lose all of those memories.

Hey:
IMHO, There MIGHT be a chance ....
There are a numer of "data recovery" tools out there that might help.
This article is a nice summary:
http://forums.cnet.com/7726-7588_102-3223036.html
Since the iPhone is treated as an external drive by a Window computer this might work ... If it wasy my 21st birthday I'd sure give it a go...
I have personall used the recovery tools used by DiskInternals with good results, but never on an iPhone. Disk internals has good e-mail tech. support, send them an e-mail describing your problem and to NOT take any new pictures until you either recover what you can or give up!

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

First time iPhone user. How to sync?

Finally gave in to purchasing an iPhone. So my first order of business is syncing stuff that I've downloaded to my phone. I've had my friend download some contents to it prior to this. So here are my questions:
1. Will syncing erase the contents of my phone?
2. Can I sync just certain type of contents that I want and not everything that's loaded on my iTunes?

I synced my phone with iCloud for the first time and it put ALL of my husband's contacts on my phone. How to I take contacts off my iphone and reinstall only mine?

I have archived my contacts on my computer and can reinstall only those, but I can't figure out how to wipe all of his contacts off my iphone.

You don't.
You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.
