Synchronize my iPhone to an 'empty iTunes'

I just put windows 7 on my computer, so I had to reinstall iTunes. iTunes is not filled with music/apps yet.
Is it possible to synchronize my iPhone to an 'empty iTunes' and will everything from my iPhone then import into the iTunes, or will my iPhone just be erased?
And do I get the chance to synchronise with an earlier back-up of my iPhone?
I want to know this before I plug my iPhone in, because obviously, I don't want it to be erased.

  • How can I copy everything on my iphone to an empty itunes?

    I'm going to connect my iphone to a new computer, which has an empty itunes. I want to know that, if I simply connect my iphone, will the itunes synchronize and erase everything on my iphone?

  • How can I get the code to synchronize my Iphone 5 with my Itunes?

    how can I get the code to synchronize my Iphone 5 with Itunes?

    By code, I think you are referring to the code on your iPhone.  To sync for the 1st time with iTunes you'll need to enter the code on your iPhone to unlock it.  Typically if your phone is unlocked and then connected to your computer, it will lock itself.  Just reenter the code.  Then you should get another prompt on your iPhone to "trust" your computer so you can sync with it.

  • HT1386 how can I sync my iphone to an empty itunes

    Well I've had to wipe my computer to get rid of a Trojan. Everything on my iTunes is now on my iPhone, and now I've just re-downloaded iTunes.
    How can I sync my phone to iTunes without erasing my iPhone? Because it says something about my phone has already synced with another iTunes library and I can only erase it.

    Copy the backup you made of the iTunes library before wiping your computer. If you weren't that farsighted see Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • How do I wirelessy synchronize my iPhone 4 with my iTunes in order to transfer music from my computer to my phone?

    I guess the only other additional details are that I don't have an adapter for my phone into my computer and that the music I wish to transfer into my phone wasn't purchased from iTunes. Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated! I'm at my wits end over here. I've been fidgeting with apple, iCloud, and even Bluetooth settings for about 6 hours now. I need help!

    Only iTunes purchases can be transferred from an iDevice to iTunes on the computer.

  • Empty Playlist on iPhone after Synching with iTunes Match

    I just got iTunes match and at first, it looked like a brilliant idea. Problem is, I imported 7500 songs from my network drive (the wife, the kid and I share the same music folder) and start uploading to iTunes Match. Then I created 3 folders in my playlists. 1 for me, 1 for my wife and one for my kid. Inside each folders, I created a bunch of playlist... more or less 500 total
    Since I did that, I can see ALL the playlist on my iphone 4 which is very cool, but some playlist are empty... even though I can see they are not in Itunes.
    My original thought was to simply empty the playlist from iTunes that my iPhone saw as empty and just drag the songs I wanted again... it worked on some playlist but not on all... even worst, some playlist that were "ok" are now empty.... what's going on here???
    On a more personal note: How imbecile is this to not be able to "physically" synch the playlist that I want to my iphone and simply show the rest of my library in iTunes Match. Some music I want to have on my iPhone and I just don't want to download it again, especially the songs I bought on iTunes, I KNOW they are in good quality...  how hard would it be to simply let me synchronize the files that I want and have iTunes Match handle the rest. This whole thing about letting iTunes match handle EVERYTHING is simply ******** and I seriously hope they correct that. Some people will want to be able to download everything, some like me will want to manage the content... can't believe they just didn't see this coming... just my 2 cents.

    i had the same problem...
    found the solution at this website and it worked for me...

  • How can I sync my iPhone to a new (empty) iTunes without replacing everything on my phone with the new library?

    I recently had my MacBook stolen.  I have an iPhone which had selected playlists, photos, ringtones, and apps from my old iTunes.  Now I have purchased a new MacBook Pro and would like to sync my iPhone with my laptop, which has a whole new (empty) iTunes library. However, when I choose "sync" my phone with the new iTunes, it says it will erase all items on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library(which is empty).  Can someone please help me??  I really would like to keep these photos and playlists!!

    You can transfer items on your iPhone to iPhoto, iTunes, etc. the software merely transfer the data, it does not store it. Very handy software to have around.

  • On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?

    Hi pedro109,
    If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article

    Hi all, I'm trying this morning to make the backup of my iPhone from 32 gigabytes. When I start the synchronization and backup I get written'' iTunes could not back up iPhone because an error occurred. I tried it on another iphone (4) and everything works fine.

    Salve a tutti, sto cercando da stamattina di effettuare il Backup del mio IPhone da 32 gigabyte. Quando avvio la sincronizzazione e il Backup mi esce scritto '' iTunes non ha potuto eseguire il backup di Iphone perche si è verificato un errore. Ho provato su un altro iphone (4) e tutto funziona correttamente. Non posso ripristinare il dispositivo perchè ho troppi dati importanti sopra. Vi prego aiutatemi.

    Ok I tried to delete the backup by using your location via preferences, but I did not find any file, maybe because I've already deleted following the path to the disk. I repeat that I have 2 devices and the problem only occurs on one

    Hi community,
    after I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion Mac OS X 10.7 I can´t synchronize my iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4.1 anymore.
    Is there anybody who solved this problem in the meantime?
    Thanks for your support.

    iTunes 11 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

  • Why after I update to iTunes 10.6.1 on my windows 7 64bits I can not synchronize my iPhone 4s 64gigs?

    After I updated to itunes 10.6.1 I can not synchronize my iphone 4s.

    I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
    which ended with an error message and a code 2330.
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
