Sync my iphone on a new paltop

Hello,
I have a iphone 4S and synced on my Office Laptop. I have a plan to change my sycning to a new laptop which i purchased at home which has itunes for my Ipad already synced.
Please advise how to transfered the data from my office laptop to my home laptop.
Cheers

Well no, you can't transfer the data.  If you decide to syc with another laptop, then you'll lose everything.  The only thing you can do is try and backup to iCloud and then restore from iCloud before syncing with the new laptop.

  • I just synced my iphone to a new computer and lost all my itunes libary.  It's on the computer but not on the phone.

    I justtryed to sync my iPhone with a new laptop and lost my itunes library from the phone.  I'd already moved iTunes to the laptop.  What did I do wrong, and is there a way to reclaim the library?

    Was the music purchased from iTunes?
    Can you sync other music to the iPod?
    What happens when you try to sync?
    When you switch syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the new computer. Did you do that?
    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computers. See:

  • How do you sync an iPhone with a new computer?

    I know this question has been posted on this forum countless times, but none of the responses seemed to help me. I need a simple and clear answer on how to sync my iPhone to a new computer. I used to sync my iPhone with a Mac, but I got a new laptop running Windows 8 and I want to sync my iPhone with this new laptop. All the responses on this site tell me to download some sort of software to extract the data from my iPhone, but none of them seem to be free. My old Mac is still intact, so I can still use it if I need to. All of this is really confusing. Sorry if I'm being really ignorant about all of this, I just really need some help.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    a manual backup should help to transfer your data and apps.
    Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing and save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to the new itunes library.
    See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    After that, transfer your purchases the same way by choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored again from the manual backup you made before.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I sync an iPhone to a new computer?

    Ok so I have a Mac with my own user account and itunes, iphone and ipad etc.
    My partner was using her windows laptop for syncing her itunes for her iphone.
    She has now created a user account on my mac to use instead of her laptop. To enable us to have the same music library I have moved the itunes folder into the 'shared' folder so both libraries have the same music.
    The part when I am stuck is syncing her iphone to the new itunes library on my mac as the usual 'erase and synce' mesage appears. How can I ensure that all apps, messages etc are not lost in the transfer process?
    I have made a back up on her laptop itunes but am unsure of what to do next. I have read that you can just copy the whole old itunes folder from one computer to another and that will work fine, but as I have moved the music to the shared folder I am not sure it will work if I move all of this over.
    Any help would be great as it's starting to drive me mad!

    If your old hard drive works, you can put it in an external usb enclosure and copy your entire iTunes folder to your new computer.  Otherwise, if you have to copy music from your phone to your computer that wasn't purchased from the iTunes store you'll have to use 3rd party to do so, such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).

  • How do i sync my iPhone to a new macbook pro and start a new apple ID?

    Ok, so I just go a new macbook pro for college, and what I am trying to do is sync my iphone with my new computer and get all my music etc onto the new mac. But i also want to start a new apple ID.  I previously have had my iphone synced on the family's imac under the family apple id. Now i want to sync that iphone onto my computer and also start my own apple ID linked to my iphone and computer.
    I can't figure out how to do this without having to reset the iphone.
    ( I already created the new ID)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • How do I sync my iPhone to a new computer without losing all my data?

    I hooked up my iPhone to my new computer and was able to transfer songs etc to my iPhone with no problems, just clicked and dragged like normal. Suddenly it wont let me do so, wont let me drag a song or anything over to my device. I noticed that the "manually manage music and video" check box was unchecked, so I clicked it and got the prompt to restore my iPhone and delete all the data on it. Obviously I clicked cancel. I have read a few other discussions about this issue but am confused and need a dummies approach please as most people seem to be referring to certain things, for example they are worried about losing their applications, or just their music....I want to be able to sync my iPhone to my new computer, without ANYTHING changing. I dont want to lose any music, apps photos, contacts, purchases....anything....
    Please help. Thank you!

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on her own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 5 with new computer?

    I just sold my computer to my friend, but need to sync my iphone with a new computer. I have a lot of information on it that I don't want to lose, especially voice notes. I don't want to loose anything on my phone, just transfer iTunes libraries.
    I tried to sync it and a pop up window came up with the Erase and Sync option. If I back up my iphone, where can I access the file? I need to take the voice notes from my phone and put them into individual files on Finder.
    thanks!!!

    You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
