Synchronize iphone 2G  with another mac (new itunes library)

Have a lot of pictures on my iphone but am afraid to synchronise to another computer (former synchronisation happened 3 years ago and this computer crashed some time ago).
I think everything (music and photos, contacts also (?)) will be erased as soon as i sync the iphone with my imac (a clean and empty itunes library).
So, is there any solution to retrieve the photos and contacts on my Iphone ?
Iphone A1203 Model MA712LL version 1.1.4 (4A102)

This mayb be of help:

  • I'm trying to sync my iPhone 5 with music from my iTunes library!

    I'm trying to sync my iPhone 5 with music from my iTunes library and when i click "sync selected playlists" it tells me i have 501 songs when i know those playlists only contain 120 max! When i untick the playlists the number of songs doesn't change. Nor does it change when i re click the playlists i want! Surely if i do not tick any playlists i'm choosing not to sync any songs? My 16GB phone keeps telling me my interal storage is full. I seem to constantly be backing up and then deleting photos to make room. I have 5.02 GB take up by "other" can anyone tell me what this is? TIA

    Hi Rennagade,
    If you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer in iTunes, even after you have already done so, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:

  • HT1535 I want to delete all of the music on my iPhone and reload from a new iTunes library on a new computer

    I acquired a new PC .  I had my iPone synched to the iTunes library on the old PC.  I now want to delete all of the music off of my iPhone and reload it with the new iTunes library that I am creating on the new PC.
    I tried seveal times using different synch options ...  all unsuccessful. 

    Hey finterra,
    Thanks for the question. With iOS 7 you can now delete your entire music library from your device. Simply navigate to Settings > General > Usage > Music then tap Edit, tap the minus symbol, then tap Delete.

  • I have two Apple ID's and one is used for my iPhone, but I want to start using a different one. Will my library still retain the apps I bought or should I start over with a whole new iTunes library?

    ^^ that's the question... Want to delete the current and start over with the one I've already created, but want to keep all my songs and apps. Is it possible?

    You can have apps and music from multiple IDs on your computer or your phone, but you will need the password for each one to install updates or to reload the content. You cannot merge the content from one ID into another, however.

  • IPhone and New iTunes Library

    For my iPhone 4S, I have a new iTunes library so I want to add songs from the library to my phone but, I don't want to delete the information already on the phone. I tried applying the "Manually manage music and videos" but when I click apply it asks me if I want to erase and sync or cancel.
    Please help!

    As pointed out, the iPhone can only call one computer home.
    I am not sure if connecting to a new computer will allow you to do your iPhone backup on the new computer before it is erased, so you may want to backup to iCloud from your old computer first, then connect to the new computer.  You'll still need to transfer all your media from one computer to the other, and re-load all the media and apps to your iPhone, but at least your backup file can be pulled down from iCloud so that you don't have to re-do all your device preferences. 
    But then again, there's something to be said about starting from scratch once in awhile

  • New computer-keep getting iphone synched with another itunes library

    So here's the situation.
    I got a new computer the other day and put Itunes on it. I hooked my iphone up to it and authorized my new computer. Seemed like everything was fine, that was until I went into devices and clicked on music. I then went to synch music and then hit apply and get the whole "the device is synched with another itunes/library, do you want to erase the iphone and synch with this itunes library.
    I still have my old computer (Which is in pieces on the floor) and realized today that I didn't deauthorize it. Am I in trouble here?

    As far as your iPhone is concerned, it is a new iTunes Library. Let it go thru it's steps (including making a backup and restoring from the backup) and all should be fine.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers, so you are fine if you're under this limit. When you do reach it, you can deauthorise all computers (even without having access to them), then authorize the one you are using. So you are not in trouble here, either.

  • I want to replace the music on my iphone 5s with a new itunes library

    i couldn't find any answers on the forum, i'm hoping someone can help me... basically, i got a new laptop and instead of wanting to transfer my other itunes library from my old laptop, i decided to start fresh... i spent ages sorting all my new music out and itunes doesn' sync... i want to delete the music from my iphone and replace it with my new itunes library, i've tried pretty much everything, when i plug my iphone in and click sync, it skips through the 4 or 5 stages, the music never updates on my iphone. i'm really confused, i didn't want to click restore just incase i lost absolutely everything, PLEASE HELP
    p.s. i already managed the accounts on itunes store and selected this computer, and my iphone, deleting my other laptop (so only this itunes library is active if that makes sense)

    did you back up your music to another hard drive? if not, the only music you can get back is purchased music from i tunes.

    Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • How to sync Iphone with new itunes library?

    I used to sync my iphone with itunes on my macbook.
    My macbbok was lost, and i got a new macbook.
    Now when i try to sync with the new itunes libaray, it prpompts that it will delete my exisiting data on my phone, This would mean losing all my contacts, and text messages etc.
    Is there a way i can sync to a new itunes library without losing my data?
    thanks
    nazmul

    Sorry to hear about your macbook.
    Others have reported that if you have at least on contact and calendar entry on your new computer when you sync, then it will not erase you iphone, it will simply merge the two. While that makes perfect sense, I have not tried it myself.
    As for the texts, I don;t think you can get those back.
    Music can only be synced to one library at a time, so the music will be gone. However, in Itunes you can "transfer purchases," at least putting your itunes purchased music on your computer.
    It is always a good idea to have a backup. I use an external hard drive. Then you will have a complete backup if anything happens to your computer.
    Good luck. I hope it works out.

  • How do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

    how do i transfer all my iphone music to a new itunes library on a new pc so i can then share it with other devices

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods discussed here: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer.  If you no longer have the old computer and you have to transfer it from your phone, you will have to purchase and use third-party software to extract the music from your phone, such as Touch Copy  or CopyTrans.
