You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

    I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (Games, Instagram), would my pics show up on Instagram and would my Games show it was saved and the acccomplisments will remain from the last place I left out.

    Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
    so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

  • Recently did an upgrade and lost all my contacts

    recently did an upgrade and lost all my contacts

    Try to check if iTunes made a backup before upgrading the phone. You can check via iTunes or use iPhone Backup Extractor. If there is, you can restore from backup to get your contacts back or simply extract them using the iPhone Backup Extractor. It's worth a try, good luck!

  • Never synced before just upgraded and lost everything

    Hi,
    I tried upgrade my friend's phone on the another person's computer.
    Successed.. Upgrading but I lost all contects and photos. I tried to back up and restore but i couldn't.
    The phone i upgraded never synced before.
    Is there anyway i can have photos and contacts back? Plz help me

    This does not happen without ample warning. The first warning provided is the iPhone is associated with another iTunes library. This must be followed by manually selecting Sync Music under the Music tab or Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer and when doing so, a warning is provided indicating that doing so will erase all iTunes content on the iPhone first. This involves iTunes content on the iPhone only - everything on the iPhone is not erased with doing so.
    Unless Sync Photos is selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer along with selecting photos on the computer's hard drive to be transferred to the iPhone followed by a sync, photos transferred from the computer the iPhone is normally synced with are not erased from the iPhone, nor are any photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, which are not included with the iTunes sync process.
    Unless Sync Contacts is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on another computer and a supported address book application on the computer is selected, contacts on the iPhone are not touched. The same for Safari bookmarks and calendar events.
    The iPhone's backup does not include any iTunes content - no music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps, and the backup does not include any photos transferred from your computer. All iTunes content on the iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - the computer the iPhone is normally synced with. All photos transferred from the computer the iPhone is normally synced with should remain on that computer as well.
    Where is your husband's computer? Forget about his sister's computer. He needs his computer to restore all content on his iPhone as it was before.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • HT4972 I Replaced my cracked screen and function key but my phone wont power on?

    I replaced the cracked screen on my phone. When I finished the function key wasnt working so I replaced that now my phone wont turn on! any one have any advice on what to do?

    Radio Shack replacement of smart phone screens was part of a TV news article on how much original vendors charged to replace the phones vs amount Radio Shack charged to replace the screen - I think it was about $100 to have it done.
    Just like replacing a watch battery - its all about having the proper tools to do it.
    I did use Internet instructions on how to change the battery in a game boy game - without the proper tool (a soldering gun and some solder) it took a few tries to get the connections and battery taped into place and get the game taped shut - before the game would power up and save.

  • Tried to buy more and lost everything. Now What?

    I finally got what I bought last night on my ipod. So I purchased more tonight and in the process of trying to figure out what to do ( I thought it would download songs auto if hooked up) it ended up restoring my ipod to factory settings and then restoring my info, but it deleted the songs from last night and I never got the other 24 from tonight. A total of 50 songs. I was just starting to like this and now this happened. Now what?

  • I restored my ipod a touch and lost everything but I don't know if it's backed up on a computer because I've been using my brothers mac. I lost quite a few music purchases and apps. What can I do?

    I have a majority of my music backed on another laptop that i can access, and I had downloaded some music from my brothers itunes library that I can get back. As well as apps, I know i can re-download those for free.  It's just the music i downloaded that I'm worried about because I don't know if I can get that back.  Please help!

    ranmat11, you can only download apps and iBooks at no additional cost.  For music and videos you only get one download and it is up to you to back it up.  You will be charged again if you redownload music and videos.

  • My mac pro crashed. Apple genius people said to reinstall snow leopard. I did and it failed to start after i installed. I started with the power button, tried to install upgrades, and now I get only a grey screen with spining wheel.

    How can I restart a mac pro that shows only a grey screen with a spinning wheel. I reinstalled snow leopard (10.6.3) over 10.6.8 because apple genious people said I had problems with my library files after a time capsule crash. I reinstalled but when done I got only a blue screen. I restarted with the power button and tried to insall 10.6 combined upgrades. I got an error message that it could not install because of an error. When I powered down and tried to restart, I get only a grey screen. My optical drive does not open so I can't restart from another source.

    Restart, holding down the mouse button. That should eject the disc. Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC.  Then, pop in the install disc, restart with it in again, select your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. select the boot volume and repair the disk.

  • HT204053 I have a new Apple ID but my old ID was used on my IPhone , now my phone wont sync with my ITunes

    I have a new APPLE ID , for ITunes for downloading music etc , buy mu IPhone has my OLD apple ID so I cannot sync the 2 even though I have changed the ID in the phone settings

    Not dumb! Tap and hold down your finger on one of the icons until they all start to wiggle. You will then see a little "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the icon. Tap on that to delete the app!
    Cheers.

  • HT4623 Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday (1st time ever).  Backing up content to icloud but would not quit.  Screen would not disappear.  Finally disconnected phone from computer and lost EVERYTHING.  Can I get it back?

    Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday to ios 6 (first time ever).  Backed up my content to icloud, but it wouldn't quit.  Remained on that screen for HOURS.  Finally disconnected phone from computer.  Still would not go away--just the "circle of death."  Restarted phone and lost EVERYTHING (pics, contacts and apps).  Can I get them back?  Are they somewhere out in cyberspace or lost for good?

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

    I'm stuck on activation screen because my phone won't accept my password for my apple i.d. I reformat and reset and updated everything but it still wont go through..please help

    Try making a new Apple ID? I don't really understand what you mean.. Make a new apple ID, log in with that one and then when you are on your phone log out of it and THEN log in our old ID? If you still can't log in the old one then it's most probably a bug or something.. Anyway.. Good luck with your problem!!

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

  • TS1538 I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.

    I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.

    Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
    Try a different port on the computer.
    Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
    Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
    Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
    Upgrade itunes to newest version.
    Is you USB cord defective ?
    Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
    Delete or Disable  any antivirus program on your computer ?
    I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
    We could do this for hours.
