"but it still says i have to erase all the stuff on my iphone and resync with my itunes library"
Correct.
"is there another way to continue transferring and deleting stuff from my iphone without erasing all the contents?"
No.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a a storage/backup device.

    I syn'd my iphone with another computer by mistake and now when i want to sync with the proper computer i keep getting the user id from the other computer

    Because you transferred apps from the iTunes library on your friend's computer that were downloaded with your friend's Apple ID, which is in effect stealing in regards to any paid apps that were transferred.
    All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps.
    You need to delete the apps that were purchased/downloaded with your friend's Apple ID and re-download the apps that were purchased/downloaded with your Apple ID.

  • Can I sync iphone with another computer

    Can I sync iphone with another computer?

    If you do, you will lose all of your information on the phone. You can only sync to 1 itunes library at a time on 1 computer.

  • What all information will i loose if I sync iPhone with another computer?

    Syncing your iPhone with iTunes on another computer will not erase all data on your iPhone. SMS/MMS will not be touched, photos/video in your iPhone's Camera Roll, the same for notes, email accounts, and iPhone settings.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will happen.
    You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer along with syncing contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications.
    When connecting your iPhone to iTunes on another computer, you will be provided a warning message that your iPhone has been synced with iTunes on another computer. If you don't select to transfer any iTunes content or photos from another computer, no iTunes content and photos that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone. If you select to sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks only with the supported applications on another computer, only this data will be touched on your iPhone.

  • Backup contacts & messages and restore on new iphone with another computer

    Dear,
    My brother gifted me iphone-4 which was in his use, he has no music, videos even not much photos. But he has much contacts and messages also messages on viber.
    I made backup by iTune and also copied the backup folder from mobilesync from my computer. the backup is just only about 256MB.
    If i email him this backup folder or give on flash drive, Can he restore on his new iphone-4 or iphone-5 ?
    please advice me in this regard that the itune backup include contacts & messages and can be restored on new mobile with another computer.
    Thanks.

    Hey shoaibadil,
    Thanks for the question, and congratulations on the iPhone gift.
    It sounds like you are doing everything correct, however I suggest that you backup your iPhone, and restore his iPhone with the backup at the same time (instead of emailing). The backup file is probably too big to email to your brother. You could also use iCloud to accomplish this:
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

  • Help with using Iphone with NEW computer

    I have a new computer and want to use my iphone with it. I dont have any songs on the new one and cannot transfer them however i can eventually rebuild my song list. What i want to know is when i sync my iphone to my new computer i no that means it will put whatevers in my library on it but when it comes to settings, applications, photos, sms messages what happens with those, will it just erase everything? Im just a little confused with everything.
    Help would be much appreciated! :-D thanks

    Yep... everything will be gone because the computer will think it's a new iPhone.
    You can download the applications from the AppStore again for free, but your music will be lost. Consider using an application like ifunbox to copy the music from your iPhone to the PC before installing iTunes.

  • Using ipod with another computer

    Hi I would appreciate any help anyone could offer please! I would like to use my ipod on another computer (ibook g4). How do I go about transfering my songs, videos etc on my new computer. I have purchased some songs but it wont allow me to download to my ipod help! It has copied my ipod onto the computer but wont allow me to access them? Any help very much appreciated thanks in advance!

    I thought my question was answered and it kind of was, however there were some things that were not explained.
    If I use a compatable computer and link into in tunes it ask me a series of questions. All I am trying to do is purchase something from iTunes and download it to my iPod Video from another computer.
    I want to make sure that everything in my iPod stays and that everything I have purchased stays not only in my computer but at the very least that I can make sure that I will be able to have them on my computer when I get home.
    So, is there a way to purchase something from iTunes from another computer and download it my iPod?
    thanx

  • Any way to test a used Iphone with another AT&T sim (non-iphone)?

    Looking at a used iphone 2g Monday and I'd like to know if I can swap in my brother's AT&T non-iphone sim card to see if i can make calls or if other features are working.
    the P.O. says he has wiped it but I'd like a way to know if said iphone works before getting home to plug into itunes. also said the only thing that comes on the screen when turned on is something saying to connect to itunes.
    Are these phones generally ok?
    Even the ones that brick from uneducated hacking seem to have a fix.
    Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

    You would need to activate the phone to test it as far as making calls and such. If the seller is legit, he should have no problem plugging in the phone to iTunes are reactivating it for you to show you it works.
    Personally, I would buy a brand new phone with a warranty unless this guy is selling the phone super cheap (less than $100).

  • How to restore a used iphone with another iphone's backup?

    Hi,
    My husband broke his iphone so I made him a deal: I get to buy the new 3G S, and he can have my 3G. Here's my problem. I restored my brand-new 3G S from my 3G's backup when I came home from purchasing it and all is great there. Now I'm trying to restore my old 3G with a backup of mu husband's iPhone. I switched the SIMs and so his number now works on my old 3G, but it still has all of my contacts and everything. When I hook it up into iTunes I don't see an option to restore that phone with a different backup, because of course it recognizes that phone and has backups from it already. In iTunes, I have to date backed up my husband's old (broken)original iPhone, my old 3G and my new 3G S. Want to restore the 3G with original iPhone's backup.
    Thanks for help! Will mark solved/helpful.

    I did this (but the other way round - she gets the old one and I get the new one - Bwahahahahaha!!!!)
    Anyway (sorry about that - it's the heat), I did the restore on her 'new' phone, and iTunes asked at some point whether I wanted to restore as <whatever we called her phone originally> or as a new iPhone.
    I chose 'new iPhone' and resynced everything from iTunes, but you could choose 'husband's phone' and restore from an existing backup.

  • My iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken... and i have synced it with a new one but when i want to do anything itunes says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes library?what do i do?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
