If you are concerned that iTunes will really set it up as a new phone and wipe your data, then create an iCloud backup first, and then use iTunes.

When I plug my iPhone into my iMac via USB I can choose to "back up to this computer". On another sync to my iMac, can I choose to " back up to the iCloud"? This way I could restore all my info and settings from either source. Is this possible?
On the phone, under Settings > iCloud you can select to turn iCloud ON or OFF.
One iTunes, it senses that toggle and if you had selected iCloud it will say backup to iCloud. Here you can change the toggle to backup to computer and click "Apply" prior to syncing.
I do both for good measure. I backup to computer and then after i disengage the device from the computer, I set the iCloud toggle back to ON and then perform the iCloud backup over wifi.
I found that using iTunes and saying to backup to iCloud isn't always successful in the "last backed up" time and thus I do it separately. -
When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.
You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.

I did a back up from my iPhone 4 on iTunes but I don't seem to be able to restore on my new 5cRestoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine. It's going the other way that would be a problem.
You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone. The current iTunes version is 11.1.3. If your iTunes is old, download the latest from

I recently updated my softward on my computer. Now when I plug my devices into my computer on iTunes, they are not recognized and I cannot sync them.
Had the same problem. I initially reinstalled iTunes without removing the older files. Finally, I removed itunes, apple application support, apple mobile device support and apple software update. Downloaded a fresh iTunes instal file from the iTunes site. Everything is fine now.

hello all,
i normally shop on my ipod touch (because frankly i cant be bothered to plug it into itunes then shop! ) to shop for apps and song and etc. and because i have a wall charger in my room theres pratically no need to go the computer! so sometimes when im on the computer i want to use my ipod touch as well so i charge it on the pc.
well to cut the story short everytime i want to shop on itunes it comes up with this note that says "your ipod is synced with a different pc etc" then it comes up with erase and sync? so my question is what does syn mean? because im worried if i choose ok it would get rid of all my apps
- someone help me!- It means what it says. Your iPod is synced with a different iTunes library. To transfer purchases to this computer:

I have a 6th generation ipod nano, When i plug it into the itunes it shows the music i have on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music. What do i do?
You may want to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the problem is caused by data corruption in the iPod's storage, a Restore should fix it.

im having problems with my iphones connecting to itunes. ive just upgraded from 4s to 5s and wanted to back it up before using it. but when i plug it in its just not responding, as usually when u plug in it it starts loading. ive tried installing itunes twice but still nothing. Any ideas on how to rectify this problem
Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

Nano came with preloaded music. Itunes requires a restore to accomodate windows, but warns content will be erased. What do I do?
Copy what's on the Nano to your new iTunes library first. See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once you have done that you can safely let iTunes remove all content and resync everything back over to it (plus the new content) from your iTunes library.

I clicked the button to sync with my ipod touch, because i thought it would give me all my picture and notes, which it did, but it also took away facetime and all the other software that the iphone 4s comes with. I also lost all my contacts. I dont care if i end up losing my pictures and notes, i just want my iphone back to the way it was when i bought it. I'm restoring it now, but it says its going to take 6 hours..I dont know if this is right or not.. help?
It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it. -
read title, please help
Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
