Sync my iphone to new laptop HELP!!!

i currently have my iphone synced to a PC at work but I have now purchased a new Laptop at home. Over the weekend I connected my iphone at home and downloaded the new update.. However I lost all my videos, films, music and apps.. So when I arrived at work this morning I had to re-sync my phone to retrieve them all. HELP!! How do i now get all of the above onto my home laptop as I no longer wish to use my work PC.. And don't want to lose all of my purchased items every time I connect at home.. (i am using the same account)

Back up your media in iTunes and restore iTunes on your new HD again.

As for the contacts, set up one contact and one event in your calendar before you connect your iphone for the first time to Vista. Then your contacts and calendar will be merged with your first sync.

  • Urgent Iphone with new laptop help needed!

    ok so i did a fresh reinstall of leopard on my macbook without thinking about syncing my iphone.
    now whenever i plug my iphone into my laptop it thinks its a camera and opens image capture and asks me what photos i want to download off it. It wont show up on the desktop or in itunes.
    I have all the music, apps etc backed up on my machine. i do not however have backups of my contacts!
    i have a backup of the iphone in itunes, but i cant get to a point of restoring the phone to the back up i have, as plugging it in does nothing.
    there is a setting to erase all content and settings on the iphone, will this render it as if i had just bought it out of the shop, meaning i can resync with my 'new' laptop?
    HELP!

    I managed to fix it myself in the end, with a slight work around. once i had reinstalled leopard, i noticed a utility called migration assistant. I used that to transfer my old user account off my time machine and restore all the settings etc. now my iphone syncs with my laptop again. hoorah!
    Interestingly, i tried the migration assistant when installing leopard (the whole 'setting up your computer' process) but it refused to do anything. I would tell it what to restore from time machine, it would accept, and then sit there with an empty progress bar that did not move all night. And i mean all night!

  • My other computer was replaced and I need to assign this laptop as the main and sync my iPhone and new laptop to this one without losing any data. How?

    I had this computer sync-ing with a laptop that I have since replaced. I want to assign this computer as my main and sync the new laptop and my iPhone to this one. How do I reassign this one as the "main" so I can add the others?

    Yes, windows to Mac too.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Transferring photo albums from iPhone to new laptop help?

    My old computer crashed all my data is not recoverable. I have some phone albums on iPhone 5 that I want to download to a new computer, but I can't get them to show up in iTunes or iPhoto when I sync my phone. The only images that download are the ones from the camera roll. Any suggestions on how I could save these images?
    Thank you.
    -F

    Photos outside the camera roll can only be transferred to the computer if you use 3rd party software, like Touchcopy for example, just to name one of the many a search will bring up.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • Hi, ok so at my old job i got given a laptop and i synced my iPhone to that laptop using iCloud, now i have left that job and i have bought my own macbook. I just linked my iPhone to my new macbook via iCloud and now pictures from my old work colleges

    Hi, ok so at my old job i got given a laptop and i synced my iPhone to that laptop using iCloud, now i have left that job and i have bought my own macbook. I just linked my iPhone to my new macbook via iCloud and now pictures from my old work colleges that are obviously using that laptop have popped up on my new laptop, does that mean all my pictures in the last 3 months have been loa
    ding onto that old work laptop as well as my new one??!!! if so how do i delete my pictures from the past 3 months off that old work macbook? HELP!!

    If they are photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll, then delete them from photo stream.  That will delete them from photo stream in iCloud and on any other devices/computers.  Of couse it won't delete them if they have already been moved out of the photo stream album download folder on the work computer.
    Then change your iCloud password so the old work computer no longer has access to your iCloud data or photo stream.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

  • I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop.  Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer.  How I can fix this?

    Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
    It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

  • A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones.  How is this data useful to him

    A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about.  How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone.  Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

  • HT4623 how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
    Connect the device. 
    Select the device.
    Select Sync.
    In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default.  With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
    If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

  • I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • Sync Two Iphone On One Laptop

    My girl-friend owns a 16GB 3GS running on software version 3.1.2 and I own a 32GB 3GS running software version 3.1.3. After I sync both iphone on my laptop, nothing works on the 16GB iphone. The moment I tap on any Apps, it returns to the home screen immediately. Everything works fine for my 32GB iphone. I am using only one I-tunes store account.
    Can I sync 2 iphone on one computer?
    Must I update from version 3.1.2 to 3.1.3?
    Can I downgrade from version 3.1.3 to 3.1.2?

    Can I sync 2 iphone on one computer? - Yes and No
    Must I update from version 3.1.2 to 3.1.3? You should
    Can I downgrade from version 3.1.3 to 3.1.2? No reverting to a previous version is not allowed...legally in the TOU rules by Apple
    When I say yes and no... I mean it can be done but the steps you're using is not the best way...
    Best bet is to use a different user log in for that PC and then create two iTunes accounts... you can still share apps and music via Home sharing and copy items back and forth

  • I wondered if i can sync my iphone to my laptop which is using the home sharing for music????

    Does anyone know if i sync my iphone to my laptop, instead of my pc, which currently only has content in itunes due to home sharing will it remain on the iphone aweay from home????

    You can't sync music to your phone which isn't in your iTunes library.  As you are only streaming the music to your laptop via Home Sharing, you wouldn't be able to sync it to your phone from the iTunes library on your laptop.  You can, however, copy the music from the iTunes library on the host computer to the iTunes library on your laptop using Home Sharing and then sync the music to your phone.  Caution: the iPhone is only designed to sync to a single computer/iTunes library.  If you have been syncing with your pc and not your laptop you would be strongly advised not to sync with your laptop or you will create all kinds of problems.

  • Syncing older iPhone to new replacement Macbook Pro laptop

    I have looked through the boards for an answer, but haven't found a previous problem that matched the issues I have been having.
    I had my iPhone 3G synced up to a Macbook Pro (2.33 GHz intel Core 2 Duo), and I just got a new laptop (2.66 GHz Intel Core i7). I used Migration Assistant to move my old user folder over to the new laptop, so I'm not worried about my files. However, when I plug in my iPhone (and my iPad), iTunes is not seeing the iPhone at all. My iPhoto IS seeing the iPhone when it's connect, as is Image Capture, but iTunes itself won't even show it in "Devices"
    I have deauthorized all of my computers through one of my other machines, and re-authorized the new laptop but still no success.
    My old laptop was 10.5.x, the new one is 10.6.3 if that helps.
    My biggest issue right now is getting my new laptop to recognize my phone!
    Thanks in advance!
    Erich.

    Did you already try to reinstall iTunes again?
    And check Apple Mobile Device Service as well. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
