All content will be removed.
You can get Phoneview from http://ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ which will allow you to move the iPhone content to the computer.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

    Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

    I have a 1 hour 5 min memo I want to transfer to iTunes on new computer. made x för music and memo: no transfer to computer resulted.

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

  • Cannot sync ipod to itunes on new computer because it doesnt recognize apps

    any help??

    - An iPod can only sync to one computer.  Yu can swithced computers.
    - You need to get all the stuff on the new computer first.  This includes app and Music.
    - After the stuff is the new computer.  Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. Then sync as necessary

  • Cant sync iPhone because itunes says this computer is no longer authorised

    whenever i try to sync my iPhone 5s to my computer (iMac.. the older/thick one), it backs up and works fine until it starts to download music and apps. it says that it cant sync to my iPhone because the computer is no longer authorised for the purchases made on the phone, it gave me the option to authorise (which it already was) so i did, still didn't work, so i reauthorised and reauthorised a couple of times. i first started to notice the problem when i updates to IOS 8 (iTunes v12.0.1.26) so i don't know whats at fault. i have a 4th-gen ipod touch (6.1.2) that syncs without any problems. i dont know what to do anymore , i just want my new songs on my phone. is there any way i can fix this because having to carry my ipod and my phone everywhere is getting quite tedious.

    Hi GArveladze11,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re not able to sync your iPhone 5S with your iMac because of repeated alerts to authorize the computer. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides more information about the alert message that you’re seeing and possible resolutions.

    Take care,

  • Question re: syncing iPhone 4 to a new computer.

    Hello everyone-
    This may be a silly question, but I just want to make sure I've got all my bases covered before I try this ...
    I previously synced my iPhone with a copy of iTunes on my desktop computer. Although the iTunes software was installed on the desktop's "C" drive, *the actual iTunes ITL and database files, along with all the media files, were located on an external hard drive*, "F" -- specifically, under "F:/My iTunes."
    My desktop crashed, so I now need to sync with my laptop.
    Now, presumably, as long as I ensure that the external hard drive still appears as drive letter "F" on my laptop, there will not be any problems with iTunes reading the library files and linking up all my media.
    However, what I'm not so sure about is what will happen when I plug in my iPhone. Will it recognize that this is the same library that I have always synced with, and it won't matter that it's on a different computer? Or, will the fact that it's on a different computer lead to problems for me?
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

    You will need to authorize the new computer in itunes.
    Then, I would follow [these instructions|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2297208]
    Hope that helps.

  • Help syncing iPhone to iTunes on new laptop without wiping phone's files?

    My old laptop has broken and I bought a new one, I now obviously want to upload my music from my phone to iTunes on my laptop but I fear that this will wipe my phone. Is there a way of syncing my phone to iTunes without it wiping my phone?
    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one broke. Now I obviously want to upload my music (from my iphone 4s) to iTunes on my laptop but I fear that this will wipe all music on my phone and I'd be left with nothing. A: Is there a way of me syncing my phone to iTunes without everything being wiped and B: Can I backup my music (for free) before syncing?
    -When I first bought this phone and I synced it to itunes on my old laptop (and to my ipod touch), all numbers that I'd put in to the phone were wiped and everything was cleared. This is why I am scared that my music, photos and videos wil be wiped!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    The iPhone is not a storage device.  Instead it is merely a mirror of what is on the library of the computer it is synced with.
    There is no Apple supported way to get content off the device that was not purchased via iTunes.
    To get iTunes purchased content:
    In iTunes, log in with your iTunes account and authorize computer.
    Connect the device.
    Do not sync!!!!
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    To obtain other media on the device you will need to search google for programs that can extract the content.

  • ITunes on new computer won't recognise my iPod and won't sync it

    I've used an external hard drive to move my iTunes from my old computer to my new Windows laptop following the instructions on the Apple website. I authorised the computer as it asked. When I try to connect my iPod to the new computer to sync my iTunes again I get this message
    "This computer is no longer authorised to play purchased items that are on the iPod "XXXX XXXX". Would you like to authorise this computer for items purchased from iTunes store? I you do not authorise this computer 222 items will be removed from this iPod."
    I press authorise and it says that 2 computers are now authorised to use this iTunes library. But once I press Ok the same message comes up again that I haven't authorised it.
    I haven't got a clue why this has happened I'm no tech-head and I'm getting really frustrated! Any help would be much appreciated!

    It should be working fine. Perhaps your cable has gone bad or the USB port has waffled. Hard to say without trying a few different things.

  • When syncing iphone, turned itunes match off, itunes doesn't recognise iphone :S

    Fed up of the glithcy iTunes match on iphone, so turned it off and so I could sync music from itunes, but after i turn itunes match off, itunes no longers recognises my iphone and says it is a new device and needs restoring? Turn itunes match back on and it fine with itunes? Guess it's another bug with itunes match! Hope they sort it out soon!

    Does the device is recognized in a different user account or on a different computer?
    You could try to follow iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X or reset the sync services OS X: Resetting Sync Services.

  • How to sync iPhone 4 with a new computer?

    Hi,
    I just gave my iPhone 4 to someone else but he said he is unable to sync the phone to his computer. He said that the phone is still 'tied' to my computer. How can he sync the iPhone without erasing anything on the phone?
    Thanks in advance!

    This is definitely not a good idea.  Either he owns the iPhone or you own it.
    Once he takes over ownership of the iPhone, he should do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and make the iPhone his own.  Otherwise, you will get in each other's way regarding messages, FaceTime, music, apps, etc.
    Once the iPhone is erased, he can set it up as new using his computer and his iTunes.

  • How do I sync iphone 4S with a new computer?

    I have just bought a new computer and installed itunes but i cannot sync my iphone as it is linked to the library on my previous computer.
    I have been searching forums and Apple support for days now with no success. I phoned Apple support but they want £25 for the answer... em, no chance. You have enough money you greedy bastards.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    As long as your original computer is still working you can take the device back to it, restore the most recent backup, then start over.
    The process should be:
    Transfer working library to new computer.
    Authorize new computer.
    Sync device (as if nothing had changed).
    Deauthorize old computer if you don't want to access protected content from it again.
    The key to getting right is step 1. Here is how I usually suggest to do it...
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

  • Error message when syncing iPhone to iTunes

    I've tried three times now to sync my iPhone with iTunes. The software is the most updated version, but each time I get an error message: "The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Too vague for me to figure anything out. Is this a problem on my end or is iTunes experiencing a temporary glich?

    I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!
