View 3 Replies View RelatedI previously had an iPhone 4 and 3Gs at the same time, but since then have sold them. Now when I try to sync my apps to iTunes it says that I can't unless I revert my apps to a previous setting that was used for either my iPhone 3gs or iPhone 4 and my other apps will be deleted.. I only use this computer now, but used to use another computer that was a pc. It is quite unstable so it wouldnt' be very easy to get on it grab my old files that I'm sure aren't complete anyways. All I need to do is take everything from this iPhone and back it up on my Macbook Pro.

I have heaps of music from my old work computer on my phone. I want to sync to my computer at home now. How can I do this without losing the music and other data???

My wife's iphone was tied to a laptop iTunes library. The laptop's hard drive died some time ago, and she has since refused to update the iOS version or sync the phone with another computer, for fear of losing access to the considerable amount of non-iTunes MP3s that were formerly on her laptop, and are now only stored on her iPhone.
So my question is twofold:
1) Can I update the iOS for her without syncing the itunes library on the phone? She is currently running iOS 3.1.3 (7E18). If I can update it, how do I do so safely?
2) Is there any way to set up a new iTunes library on her new laptop without destroying the music library she already has on the phone?
My goal would be to simply get the iOS version and iTunes database up to the latest version, so we can subscribe her to the iCloud service and back up all her music.

The harddrive on my old computer died. Now when I try to sync my iPhone to the new computer, I get a message saying that my iPhone will be overwritten with the library on the computer. This wouldn't be a problem except my iPhone contains songs and books that are not showing up in the computer library. How do I get my iPhone registered to the new computer without losing music and books?

I have a new computer and have backed up iPhone and restored it from my computer. However, when I go to sync apps it appears as if it will overwrite my current folder settings. I don't want to have to re-arrange 140 apps into folders again.

Alright, I have an iPhone4 and previously had a laptop which I used to sync my iPhone and to transfer music. I had to change to my laptop and the old laptop is gone. I did copy all my songs and contacts (as windows contacts) to a potable disc.
On installing itunes on my new laptop, I was Not able to sync over wifi (had the wifi sync optioned selected)Not able to transfer music from new laptop
I just want to retain all the apps(including progress) and the messages etc. I have a backup of my songs, so I can put them in itunes +iPhone again.

After upgrading to the latest ios (from 4.3.3), when I hit sync in itunes, it says "waiting for sync to start," "preparing to sync" and "waiting for changes to be applied," while not actually syncing music or apps. It does sync photos, though, for some reason. I tried rebooting the computer, using a different wire, and using a different usb port.

After jailbreaking and getting my phone exactly the way I want it, I've decided I don't want to have to use iTunes to manage my music and Apps. I just reformatted my PC, and now iTunes wants me to totally wipe my iPhone and start over - this is unacceptable.
So I would like to manage my music outside of iTunes, but prefereably still using the iPod app as opposed to a third party one. I did a quick search and found nothing on the forums. Googling has led me to a few ideas, but they all seem dated. I am not familiar enough with SSH to figure this one out by myself.
Apps may be trickier, but there are a number of apps I have downloaded through Cydia, etc. that I would need to re-download if I wiped my phone.
Any tips or advice would be great here. Each successful thread I post takes me one step closer to leaving Big Brother out of my smartphone experience!

This is seriously frustrating and I understand where apple are coming from with the whole 'what if someone steals it from you' but to be fair this is quite badly thought out. Laptop's have a life of about 3/4 years and unfortuantly mine has 'kicked the bucket'. I need to get the pictures off of my phone with out sending all 1,000 odd to other people and spending all the mms costs. It would be nice to have all of my apps and songs too but to be honest these are secondary to me. What can I do?

Anyone going thru this with me? My iphone 4 has been shutting down. I updated the software, which was supposed to address the issue. Didn't help. I have done multiple hard resets and restored the software, losing all my apps ( which really annoys me). I think it is a software issue and something to do with iCloud too. I've noticed that on my home screen, the battery icon is not showing green at all. But if I go to one of the icons, say Messages, then correct battery amount shows up. If I do a restore to the computer, the home screen shows correct battery life. If I restore to iCloud, the battery is showing as dead on the home screen.
Apple would you please fix this??? I'm in New Zealand, I have to pay to have this fixed at a store, and I'm not convinced they will be able to fix it until Apple fixes the bug. But what would you do, people?
