My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?
It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
My husband(less technologically inclined than I am), decided to delete programs from our iMac, he turned it off and now it has a grey screen and won't get past it. It won't start in safe mode and when I If I insert the Application Install DVD, to repair the disk, will I loose all my pictures and music?
With a corrupt disk, the install procedure is most likely going to fail.
How old it the disk?
You might be able to reformat it to fix the problem. Of course that means you lose all of your data.
The other alternative is to get a new disk drive and put that in your Mac and install OS X
Then put the old disk drive in an enclosure and see what can be recovered from it.

Where are all the Photo and Music files hiding?
When I "Get Info" for the Music folder in my Home directory it says that the folder contains 7,672 items taking up 34.87 GB of HD space. On the bottom of the iTunes window it says that iTunes includes 3,514 songs using 16.55 GB.
Similarly, "Get Info" for the Pictures folder in my Home directory says that it includes 24,989 photo files using 28.22 GB of space. However, on the bottom of the iPhoto window it says that there are 5,574 photos in iPhoto.
The question is, what are and where are all of these extra music files and photos?
The numbers quoted in the applications themselves look right. I don't have 7,672 tunes and I definitely don't have 24,989 photos.
I transfered the folders from my iMac to the Macbook Pro by connecting the iMac in Target Disk mode by Firewire. Is it possible that somehow I created many duplicate music and photo files? How do I eliminate the duplicates to free up HD space?
Thanks in advance for your help.What Mac do you have? MacBook?
Version of iLIfe?
iPhoto stores and uses a package now for the iPhoto LIbrary which if you do get info and show package contents has your files and library you imported.
Might want to ask in iLife area too. -
i recently plugged my iphone4 into my laptop to sync, when i plugged it in, itunes told me that i needed to update my software, so i clicked up date and walked awayfrom my computer leaving it to do the rest, but by the time i came back to my laptop 2-3 hours later i had realized that it has run out of charge and because of it my phone had gone into retoration mode- and the only way to fix it was to press restore. what do i do? do i click restore or will that take my phone back to factory settings as i have a tonne of photos and videos etc that i have not backed up yet?
what should i do anny coments or ideas please let me know!The first step in the upgrade process is a backup.
Did iTunes not create a new backup when you first connected it?
You really should be syncing your device and copying pictures off of it on a regular basis.
Starting an upgrade without first syncing and copying the pictures off is not a bright idea.
At this point, you only option is to restore.
Also, in the future, ensure your laptop is plugged into external power before starting upgrades. -
If I unistall iTunes off my computer and reinstall it, will I loose everything in the iTunes library? All my apps and movies? Do I need to back them up first?
No, you won't. Back them up anyway.

If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?
If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?
All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process. -
My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?
I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???

Will i loose all my photos if iPhoto isn't working?
will i loose all my photos if iPhoto isn't working? my computer just got updated by my iPhoto is saying it isn't compatible? will i loose my photos if they were in folders on iPhoto?
my computer just got updated by my iPhoto is saying it isn't compatible? will i loose my photos if they were in folders on iPhoto?
What is your MacOS X version and your current version of iPhoto?
if you just updated to a newer MacOS X version, for example MacOS X 10.9.x, your version of the iPhoto.app may be no longer compatible and you need to update or upgrade iPhoto to a newer version. Check at the App Store if there is an update for iPhoto. If not, post back with the versions you are having installed. You may need to buy an upgrade.
will i loose my photos if they were in folders on iPhoto?
The photos in your iPhoto library are save, even if you have to upgrade to a newer version, but it is always wise to make a backup before updating or upgrading, just in case. -
I wan to restore my phone, will all my photos and music be lost how do i save it
If i restore my phone will all my photos and music be lost, how do I back it up?
It is in recovery mode. Anything on the phone is already gone. If you were syncing your contacts to a compatible address book on your computer or cloud service, then you'll be fine. If not, then they are gone.

HT1212 will i loose all the photos on my phone if it hasnt been backed up?
will i loose all the photos on my phone if i reset it with a hard reset?
There is no such thing as a "hard reset".
Pictures taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied from the device to a computer as you would with any digital camera. Use the device as designed. -

I tried to update my sons ipod. It has the itunes logo with a usb port on the screen. If I restore it I will loose all his games and music. Is there any way around this?? Please Help??
Yes, that is your only option.Yes. You have to restore.
Try the following if you have difficulty restoring.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If i update my iPhone 3G will i loose all my pictures and videos...?
You shouldn't, but all of this should be on your computer anyway.
You should not update/upgrade/restore/etc without making sure that everything is backed up.
