Syncing Itunes from Iphone

I recently lost all of my iTunes library but still have all of it backed up on my iphone. How can I resync my itunes back to what my iphone has on it?

This is why I try to stress this so heavily... Your songs are NOT backed up on your iPhone. The iPhone is not a backup device.
Google may give you some options that might allow you to extract the music from your phone.
You mention books. If you mean books in iBooks as opposed to audio books, I haven't seen anything that will allow you to extract those outside of a normal sync.
You might want to consider creating data DVDs and burning your music collection to them.
I've done just that, as well as create a smart playlist that contains everything I've added since a specific date. Every so often, I burn that to DVD and update it to track from the date of the last burn.
A 2TB drive can now be had for < $100. It seems like a small investment to protect such a large library.
Please don't take this the wrong way. I don't mean to be critical.

Syncing itunes from iphone 3g to another computer

i buy all of my itunes on my laptop and then download to my iphone 3g. i had previously made a backup of my itunes (before getting my iphone) and restored them to another authorized computer that i sync with my outlook calendar only. after getting the iphone i had made some new purchases and when i synced with the other computer it recognized my new purchases and put them in the purchased music folder. can i delete all the previous restored songs and will the iphone restore them automatically?

Ok, sorry, let me correct myself.... Itunes recognizes my phone, but not my PC

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

HT1296 how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

I have the same issue. I've already read the iPhone user guide which didn't help.
The user guide explains how to turn on Photo Sync in iTunes but no specifics of where the imported photos will be. I tried syncing a few times and I cannot find the photos on my PC.iTunes transferred all my PC photos *to* the phone, but not the other way around.
I'd imagine they should be in the folder that is specified in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated!

How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?

How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?
Hi, Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
Thanks,

Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.

How do I sync photos from Iphone to Ipad?

How can I sync photos from Iphone 4S to Ipad 4th generation?

The only way is to sync to iTunes on a computer and then sync from iTunes to the other device, using USB.
If you're thinking of using photo stream, that won't work now, since only photos taken AFTER each device was logged into photo stream will sync between them. All older photos must be synced via a computer.
The exception to this is if you use dropbox or some other service to act as the middleman.

Syncing contacts from iPhone back to iMac (Entourage)

Briefly, after both my Time Machine and hard drive failed, I lost all my data. My Entourage contacts re-main on my iPhone, and I want to sync them back to Entourage. I understand the process of "merging,"but I have run into a few obstacles: I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2), by the way. First, under Preferences, I have no options available under "Syncing." Then, when I connect my iPhone, and select "Info," I have no options here, either. I do have a number of contacts in Entourage in my iMac, but, apparently, iTunes no longer recognizes the existence of this program, so I can go no-
where. (My Entourage Contacts have been duplicated in my Address Book, but that doesn't show up, either. Something must be terribly corrupted.) I'm both frustrated and perplexed, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. pah

Something to check when syncing contacts from iphone back to computer, make sure to open address book and enter at least one contact.
Then when you connect the iphone, you should get a message asking if you want to merge the data.
Click merge and this should copy all contacts from the iphone back into address book.
the same goes with ical also.
Make sure there is at least one event in ical.
Now to move the data in address book and ical to entourage is set in the entourage preferences in the sync services section.
Hope this helps.

Define "everything"...
Contacts will be in whatever Contacts on your Mac assuming you actually selected that in iTunes. Calendar items in iCal. Reminders/Notes depend on what version of OS X you're running...

Syncing contacts FROM IPhone MANUAL. PC

So this is basically a continuation of bsohl's thread Syncing Contacts FROM iPhone?.
For those of you that are in a similar situation to this:
1. You're on a PC.
2. Your primary storage space for contacts is your phone.
3. Your email client isn't compatable with ITunes.
4. You want to back up your contacts.
Follow these few steps to make your backup happen:
1. Sign up for a new yahoo email address.
2. In the info tab in ITunes select Sync Contacts with Yahoo Address Book.
3. At the prompt enter in your new yahoo email address and password.
4. Hit 'apply'. At this point you may have to hit sync or it might just do it automatically. I can't remember.
Here comes the magic
5. You will see the following prompt: http://a425.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/89/l_dfc21c0b2fd5015780fbaad7fddb3 798.gif
6. Select 'merge'.
7. Wait a few seconds.
8. Check your contacts in your yahoo email account and they should all be there.
9. Sweet!
10. Good luck.

You can also sync your contacts to Microsoft Address Book. Go to the info pane with your phone connected to change the settings.
Your iphone backup also contains your contact info. So before you sync, back up your phone manually, here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes/settings/devices, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Do the same to transfer your purchases by choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

HT4236 if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

if i sync photos from iphone to my mac fir the first time what happens

The transfer of photos from an iPhone to a Mac is an import. It is very similar to what happens when you move photos from any camera to the Mac (if you have ever done that). Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
The iTunes sync can move photos the other direction (Mac to iPhone). That "sync" works the same way each time you do it -- it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes photo page settings. Instructions for that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too? I just turned photo stream on on my computer. Thank you. Liz
