Will clicking "set as new iphone" delete my files on itunes?

I got a new phone and want to set my iphone on itunes as "set as new iphone" so that I dont get any "other" glitches so can i set up as new iphone and back up everything from itunes after?

You have two iPhones now right?
The new one if you click set up as new it will just let you start using iTunes without doing anything. After you do that you can unplug the new one and plug the old one in and backup the info to iTunes.
If you still want your contacts and stuff then go to setting and sync your contacts to iCloud or any email that you want. If you do that then all you need to do sign in to that iCloud or email account on the new phone and get the contacts back.
Hope this helps!

    It will not do anything at all to your computer.

  • What will happen if i set as new iphone?

    my brother's iphone is already registered to the laptop. I planned to attach my iphone to his itunes. it was said that if i could set as new iphone. what would possibly happen?

    Each device can only sync with one iTunes library - and that content of the iTunes library will sync.
    If you decide to change the iTunes library the phone was orginially synced with, it will erase the 'sync' data and re-sync with the new library.
    The phone itself isn't erased.
    For example, If I only sync Music, if I change iTunes library, it would erase my Music, and re-sync with the new Music from the new iTunes Library.
    Hope that helps

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

  • Does anyone know how to correct an incorrect Apple ID (email) that was entered when setting up new iPhone 4S?

    While setting up new iPhone 4S, I mistakenly mistyped my Apple ID (email address) so when I go to app store, that incorrect account is revealed.  Trying to figure out how to change the Apple ID on the iPhone 4S to correct info.  Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks in advance for you help.

    It is most unlikely your replacement is anything other than new
    Refurbs are recycled through the Apple supplier's Factories
    I doubt that there has been time for that process and has already been mentioned early failures
    are probably checked out thoroughly before being recycled
    In any event you would never know the difference between new and a refurb
    I have had  x2 in past and certainly could not
    depending on your consuer laws you can probably get your money back
    if you are that concerned

    Disk Utility MAY or MAY NOT help
    It depends on a few things.
    1. Is the disk over heating, IF so then you need to wait for it to cool off.
    2. If its a bad cable (using a USB 1.1 cable with a 2.0 drive, broken internally, etc) then you may want to try a new cable.
    3. If its a file system issue then Disk Repair may fix it but if its serious then you may want to use DiskWarrior.
    DiskWarrior has saved my drive several times!
    I would recommend trying the following in this order.

  • Bought a new iPhone 6 and synced from iTunes but vibration doesn't work.

    Bought a new iPhone 6 and synced from iTunes but vibration doesn't work. I did the reset option using side and home buttons but in vain. Please don't tell me to set up a new device coz its gonna be a hassle restoring apps, emails, contacs...etc.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. Lost everything I put on it this weekend (including ALL my pics). Is there any way to unsync it so I can get all of that back?

    I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!

    In short. No, you cannot unsync.  If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up. 
    Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there.  Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

  • When I plug my new iphone 4s into my pc, itunes freezes

When I first plugged phone in, itunes automatically opened but it was a new itunes with none of my files on. But if I was to open my itunes and then plug phone in, it recognises devices but freezes.

    Contacts are not part of the backup.  Contacts, when using your phone as intended, are synched to your computer's Outlook, Address Book or with a cloud service.  If you haven't been using your phone as intended, then your contacts are gone.

  • Cannot delete movie file from iTunes

    After converting movie file via Quicktime and adding it to the iTunes library, I am not able to remove it anymore. If you try to delete it, it crashes iTunes and after that all desktop icons are frozen. The movie does not play in iTunes, you cannot edit its info without crashing iTunes either. Movie plays in preview pane in Finder....
    Is there any other way to remove the file from iTunes?

    Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
    When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
    Hope this works
