Syncing new iPhone

If I sync my new iphone to my itunes account that I've used for my old iphone will it completely erase all the content in my itunes from my old iphone? I don't want to loose it.

Prior to syncing your itunes to your new iphone you will want to connect the old iphone to your itunes select the device showing in your itunes program and right click on the device (if using a PC) and go to where it reads 'transfer purchases' once you've done this all purchases made on the device that are not showing up in your itunes library will then transfer to your itunes library. However, IF you have music on your device that was not purchased using itunes and the account you are currently using you will then want to transfer this music to a storage device prior to syncing your new device with your itunes. To answer your question, YES, once you have synced your new device with your itunes library anything that is on the device that is not part of the itunes library will be lost if precautions are not taken to collect the data on the older device.

iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
Upgrade OS X on your Mac.

Good. I hope it's going well!
If not, you should know you need a recent copy of iTunes on your computer.
You should also check out the iPhone Manual:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 8.1
Otherwise, if you are looking for help, it would be good if you told us exactly what your issues are. What do you see? What happens (or does not happen)?

Can't sync new iPhone 4 with iTunes without it locking up iTunes

Got my new iPhone 4 last Friday. They tell me I need to register it and sync it. Didn't get around to trying that until yesterday. Tried most of the day and night last night, using iTunes 9.whatever it was. Kept on locking up iTunes. Tried deleting iTunes, reinstalling it and trying again. Didn't work. Even trying to register the phone made iTunes lock up.
Downloaded iTunes 10 last night. Have the same situation, BUT, it finally did allow me to finally register my phone this afternoon. Thought the problem was solved. Still won't allow me to sync.
Sync starts up (took it off the auto-sync setting) and it says it is going to backup the device - Step 1. Sometimes the progress bar moves 1/4 inch, sometimes 1/2 inch. Sometimes it just has the moving pattern on it. Once or twice, it actually got to Step 2, whatever that is. It always locks up. I've left it running for hours... still won't work.
Was told to delete iTunes, restart, delete trash and reinstall it. Tried that SEVERAL times, still didn't work. Was told to delete some other files (the IT guy was standing beside me because I have NO clue as to what to do with these files) - at least 1 file from the Library and not certain where the others were. That didn't work either. It just keeps on locking up iTunes and quite often, when I check with Force Quit, it shows that iTunes isn't responding. I repaired disk permissions. Didn't work. I unchecked what to sync - just trying to sync Apps now, and it still doesn't work.
All software is up-to-date on both the phone as well as my MBP. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
Just tried it again and just plugging in the iPhone caused the beach ball to start spinning. I've GOT to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance for your help.

After purchasing a new iPhone 5S I had a problem syncing iTunes with the iPhone...At the Apple Store, the Service Rep backed up my iPhone to iCloud in order to transfer all data from the old phone to the new phone. At home when I tried to sync iTunes with my new iPhone 5S, iTunes would not recognize my new phone. I discovered iTunes was configured to back up data to my Mac hard drive and the iPhone was configured to back up data to iCloud. There was a conflict, subsequently causing iTunes to not recognize my new iPhone 5S. My solution was to delete iCloud from the iPhone. After doing this, iTunes synced with the iPhone with no problems. No data was lost and syncing occurred normally.
I recommend these as possible solutions:
1) The Apple store will back up your phone using iCloud. Make sure that iTunes is configured to back up to iCloud before you plug your new phone into iTunes for syncing/back-up. If your iTunes is configured to back up data to your hard drive, ensure that the Apple Store does not back up your phone data to iCloud. You will have to back up all iPhone data yourself at home on iTunes.
2) If they insist on backing up your phone data to iCloud from your old phone to your new phone then, be sure to delete the iCloud account off your new phone before you try to sync your new phone to iTunes.
I used the 2nd solution to solve my syncing issues. Everything works great now. iTunes recognized my new phone and can now sync/back-up data with out problems, error messages or loss of data.
Hope this helps everyone out! I intend to get drunk to relieve all the stress and hopefully restore my sanity as a result of having to solve this problem while having to act as my own Apple support staff!

Unable to sync new iPhone 4s. I have iTunes version 10.6.1. Using Windows 7. My device appears on iTunes but I am not able to select the sync option and it does not automatically start the sync option when plugged in. Ive tried reseting the device.

I am unable to sync my new iPhone 4s OR my iPod Touch 4 to iTunes.(this is the first time I am plugging them into iTunes) I have version 10.6.1. Both devices are up to date with the latest software version. Once I plug the device in, it is recognized on iTunes.The synce process does not start automatically. I am unable to select the sync option. I've tried reseting the device and restarting iTunes and the same problem happens. I have plugged in my husbands iPhone 3gs and the sync process starts automatically. I have also added my computer as an authorized computer for the new devices. What now?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Cannot install itunes to sync new iphone keep getting error

i just purchased a used iphone from ebay.
i received the iphone today and it seems to be in great condition.
i cut it on and all it does is show a plug in cord with an arrow above it pointing to itunes. so i tryed to sync my iphone with my itunes.
itunes will not work bc my quicktime player was deleted. i uninstalled them both and tried to reinstall itunes using the link on the website. this error came up halfway through the installation:
An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token= "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", process or Architecture= "x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F.
after seeing that i clicked ok and the download continued. after it was done downloading it still wouldn't work.
it brings this error page up that says:
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes, then install itunes again.
i've done this 4 times...still no luck.
i have looked every where on the web to find a solution and still no luck. i can't find a link to download the apple application support so i don't know what else to do. if anyone has any advice. please help me. this is driving me insane. thx

HRESULT:0x8007054F
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up +en passant.+
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. Do they fail to install? If so, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 0x8007054Fs, or are you getting different error codes?

Trying to sync new iPhone through iCloud

Hoping somebody can help
I have just got an iPhone6 and I am trying to sync it with iCloud. I have done a recent backup from old phone.
When I try to sync this to the new phone it asks if I want to restore from an iCloud acount and I click this option it then brings up the most recent back ups To select from.... Only problem is they are greyed out as they are asking for the most up-to-date ISO.. So question is how do you get past this stage to upgrade the operating system In settings??
I have ended up clicking to set up a new iPhone as this allowed me to access settings and then I manually typed in my icloud details but only half of my information has synced over and I am missing all of my messages apps notes etc..
has anybody else had this issue and no what to do? Any help would be appreciated thanks a lot

Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

Hi anyone who can help!
I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
1 - set it up as a new phone
2- upgrade the software
3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
Any help at all much appreciated!
simon

Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update.

Syncing new iPhone 4 to old Mac (OS X 10.4.11) vs. Gateway with Vista

My MacBook isn't compatible with the new iPhone 4 (haven't been able to successfully upgrade with the disk I got several years ago). However, I do have a Gateway with Vista (which should be compatible).
If I originally sync iPhone to iTunes 9.2 via the Gateway computer, will I be able to sync it to an upgraded Mac at a later point? Or will I be stuck with syncing to the Gateway?
Thanks for any insight....

You will be able to synch it to an updated Mac later. Just be sure to transfer your iTunes library from your current computer to the new computer.

Problems syncing new iphone 5

I bought a new iphone 5 today. I made sure I had the latest version of itunes on my pc but am unable to sync it. I don't receive any error messages as such it just acts as though it's preparing to sync then doesn't actually do anything. I've tried restarting the computer and phone. I've also run a diagnositcs test in itunes and all seems to be working correctly. This is driving me crazy and I'd really appreciate any help or pointers! Thanks so much.

Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars

Syncing new iphone 4 problem

I am computer illiterate. I have a new Iphone 4, which is recognised by itunes (an account created for use with my ipod touch). Whilst podcasts are synced I can't sync the complete music library, it seems only to sync a couple of albums purchased through itunes and "not find" about 20gb of music I have in the library. If UI had any hair I would have pulled it out by now. Can anyone help pleae in the simplest of terms? Many thanks

On the Summary Tab, put a check in the box labeled "Sync only Checked Songs & Videos", On the Music tab, put a check in the box labeled "Sync Music", & in the box labeled "All Songs & Playlists". Make sure you have a check in each box next to each song under "Library", "Music", in the far left pane. Hit "Apply" or "Sync". To conserve space on your phone, you can also check the box on the Summary Pane, Options, "Convert Higher Bit Rate...". This is done on the fly & does not affect the music in your library.

Restore "utility" app after syncing new Iphone 4?

I really like the utility app that came with the new phone. Itw as great to be able to store all the apps you seldom use in one place. When I synced to get my contacts into the new phone from itunes, I lost that app. How can I get it back onto the new Iphone 4?

You establish the Utilities 'folder' by dragging the clock onto the compass. It will automatically create a folder that has the name 'Utilities'. Then drag, the calculator and voice memos apps 'into' that established Utilities Folder.
Hope that Helps
