Upgraded - Want to sync my media

I have some questions regarding syncing my photos / iphoto, music/itunes and iPhone after I changed computers.
I had an iMac with 10.7.5 and 1TB Hard drive which I used to sync my photos, music and iPhone to and a few days ago I bought a new MacBook Pro and got a quick sale for the iMac. Being a quick sale I just copied all my photos and music to an external hard drive but not the libraries as I was in a rush.
So, long story short, I have my Music and Photos on a USB disk but no libraries.
My iPhone syncs to the cloud so I should be somewhat safe.
I have access to my Photostream through iPhoto on ML.
Now, I do want to sync my phone and photos and music to my new MBP without earasing the phone AND since the MBP only has a 128GB drive i'd like to keep the files/libraries stored on an external source (USB drive).
Is it possible / easy ?

Try this ...
On your iPhone, go to "Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Sync (under calendars, near the bottom of the list)". Then select the "All Events" option.

I want to sync my claendars from my IPhone 3 G to my IMac which I have just upgraded to version 10.6.3
the IPhone doesn't show up on the left hand side of ITunes when I open it.
It opens in IPhoto though.
Do I have to upgrade my operating system even further on my computer or is it the phone.
Driving me crazy. Just don't want to lose my calendars that I have on my phone.
Help?
thank you,

You need to update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.

I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug. I want to sync my data - contacts most important - from my itunes account...is this possible? Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?

There are no contacts in itunes.
Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync. Just sync them to the new one.
Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup.

Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod as the articles say the iPod will also be updated.

HT1351 I have an ipod nano synced to an old laptop. Recently upgraded to a new laptop and want to sync the ipod to the new laptop. How do I sync to the new computer?

If you have access to your old laptop (and it's still working), ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC. If you can and want to do it that way, please post back.
Otherwise, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.

Select what media I want to sync

I want to be able to sync my videos and pics for backup but I dont want the music to transfer. How can I disable only the music part of the media sync?
Thanks.

Hey que tal Shilo93
In DM options that have the option to configure and synchronize files
Dirigite in media options and here you select the options you want to sync. Check in settings that do not have automatic synchronization.
Place it for yourself manually select the files you want to sync.
Regards.

TS2776 I want to sync my iPhone 4 to my PC itunes but trying to upgrade and repeatedly failing to install version 10.6.3.

I want to sync and transfer songs from my PC to my iPhone 4 but the original itunes version was not compatible and I repeatedly found the latest 10.6.3 would not install.
I tried an earlier version 10.3 allegedly suitable for iPhone and although it actually installed no syncing waas possible!
Any ideas

I repeatedly found the latest 10.6.3 would not install.
Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

HT1386 I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

The backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. For what the backup contains see:

HT4915 How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone.

How do you stop syncing address and calendar to iCloud? I only want to sync from my computer to iPhone. This is because I cannont upgrade to Lion and I do not want to get duplicate contacts when I sync from the computer 10.6.8 to my iPhone iOS5. You should not upgrade to Lion upless you have 4GB of ram. Lion does not support rosita so all your old programs will not funtion and you have to repurchase all old software the is working fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > iCloud, turn off contact and calendar syncing.

Multiple problems with syncing deleting media off iPhone

The syncing process on the iPhone is very frustrating.
As all know, with the iPod, if I wanted to put a song I had in iTunes onto my iPod, all I had to do was connect my iPod, click on the song in iTunes, and drag it on to my iPod. Easy. No more. With iPhone, I have to sync in order to move anything.
What's worse, if I delete anything out of my iTunes for any reason, I ultimately have to delete it off of the iPhone as well. Here’s why: as mentioned above, in order to add a song, I have to sync. Let’s say I have my iPhone set up to sync certain playlists only, e.g., “red,” “green,” and “blue.” If I sync my iPhone and let’s say, song “A” is currently on my iPhone in the red playlist, but has been deleted out of iTunes, my iPhone will delete it. If I try to avoid this problem – i.e., I want to keep red the way it is, so I only want to sync green and blue, and thus uncheck red in the “sync selected playlists” section, my red playlist is deleted off of my iPhone altogether. Why?
This is a problem for multiple reasons. For one, my computer is running out of space. Media takes up a lot of space. I would like to be able to delete things off of my computer without having to lose them in order to sync my iPhone (for anything - iTunes, Outlook, etc). Similarly, I can’t import any songs into iPhone without buying them in iTunes on my computer and then syncing, so if I want to both add new songs and retain the songs I already have on my iPhone, I must keep them on my computer.
I've already suffered the consequences. I deleted 40 hours of lectures (which I have on CD) off of my computer once I put them onto my iPhone, and now the iPhone has just wiped them all out as well. Terrific. I’m not about to reimport all those lectures now. It would take hours, and I’ve already done it once. I am very angry that a $600 piece of equipment has a problem that did not exist on my three-year-old iPod.
And other similar syncing issues abound. If I try to tell the iPhone not to sync video with my computer, it DELETES the video off of my phone. Similarly, with photos – if I don’t want it to sync anymore, because I want to keep my photos the way they are on the iPhone, I can't just tell it not to sync photos. If I do that, it deletes them. This makes no sense to me.
If these syncing problems weren't enough, iTunes no longer lets me play songs from my iPhone on my computer. This was never true with my iPod, and I fail to understand how this enhances security issues, since I was already unable to move media from my iPod back onto my computer.
At the moment (it is 4 AM), I am now sitting at my computer re-syncing everything that I hadn't already deleted off my computer. It is incredibly, unbelievably, mind-numbingly frustrating, and I am NOT a person who gets frustrated by technology. Someone please help - I hope that I'm either missing an easy fix or that Apple is going to update the software immediately.

Tap Settings App>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Take to place (Apple Center) that fixed it before and ask them to show you the steps to keep your iPhone working.

I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and i dont want to lose any media on my iphone, or any apps, i am scared to back up my media for restore in future as these photos and videos mean a great deal to me, is there any way i could get around it? Thanks

Thankyou if you can help; oh and last time i restored my iphone it didnt restore ALL the media only some and very improtant photos went missing :(

All media and apps on the device should already be in iTunes on the computer.
If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, the ONLY option is to restore as new.
Then sync back any media, apps, contacts, etc back to the device.
You can not restore from backup as the restrictions passcode is included in the backup.

I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

The best solution:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod.

Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up.

I dont want to sync my iphone again

i just loose my half itunes library files on my windows pc, thats why i dont want to sync my iphone again couse if i do that i gonna loose the music that is in the phone, and is not on my pc, is there some way to copy or something like that media items on the phone to the pc so i can have my lost media back ?

I believe songs that you've purchased through iTunes can sync back to your computer. I know it's a capability with iPods, and I believe it's doable with the iPhone as well. I would suggest you call Apple though as they'll be able to tell you for certain if the Sync back option is available on the phone.

I am wanting to sync my music with iTunes but it says if i sync you will loose everythink cause it was synced with another libiary help?? will i loose everythink if i sync

I am wanting to sync my phone on iTunes to transfer photos and music from my phone onto computer. It comes up saying "ALL exisintg photos and music on iphone will be erased with content on iTunes but i have nothing on iTunes. Will i look everythink if i agree to sync??

If this is a new library, then yes, the content on the device will be erased and replaced with content from the new library.
The iDevice is not a backup device... it is not designed to be used to move media from one computer to another.
iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer at a time.
