IPhone :: Old PC Crashed / Can Copy Data To New Computer?
May 13, 2010
Well, like the title says, my old computer unexpectedly crashed. I lost all data I had on that sucker including my itunes data. Now that I have a new computer, I installed itunes and I'm wondering is there anyway for me to copy all the data from the iPhone to the new iTunes library?I don't wanna test my luck by just syncing it, fearing it might just delete everything in my phone...
I have the iphone4. My laptop crashed back in February, so that was the last time I backed up my phone and was synced to a computer. I have no way of accessing anything on this computer. It doesn't turn on or anything, it is basically just a shell now, so I can't release my iphone from it's authorization with that computer and itunes. I am trying to finally sync my phone to a different computer. I went to both Verizon and the Apple store and they told me to go under my itunes preferences and make sure that the iphone does not automatically sync to the computer, so I did that. I plugged my iphone in and thankfully it didn't sync... but then they told me to manually save all my information and apps and pictures and contacts and what not from my iphone to my computer so that I had it incase everything got lost. However, there is no way for me to do this!!! I transfered my itunes purchases so it saved most of my apps, but I have no way of saving my music and photos and contacts. I'm not sure if I am supposed to backup my iphone to this computer? Or will I lose everything? And I know if I sync that I will lose everything since there is nothing saved to this computer. If someone could please help me that would be great!!! I have gone to both Apple and Verizon and read around on the internet trying to figure this out, but no one is giving straight steps on how to do this. I don't know how to save my contacts and photos and everything manually to the computer like they told me in case the sync loses everything. And this has been 5 months like this trying to get help and figure this out, and I'm definitely fed up to say the least. I also haven't even been able to update to ios 5 yet so I don't have iCloud or any other way of backing up everything.
iphone disabled can not connect to computer because of hard drive crash how do I do a restore of the phone iTunes does not recognize the device because it is locked
I have fairly large voice memos that I can NOT email, so I am wondering how I can copy the voice memos from my iphone to my computer. I have tried connecting my iphone directly to my iMac but can't figure out how to copy the file over.
I have sync my iphone 4s with my itunes in my computer and copyd all my music to my phone, byt now i have a new computer and would like to copy all my music back from my phone to my computer as i have no music on my new computer . it seems i can onley put musick on the phone but not back to the computer.
How do I copy my photos and contacts from my old iphone onto my new iphone without the original computer registered to the old iphone (computer has been damaged)?
May I know whether it is possible to transfer my songs out of my iPhone music library to my computer or my new iTunes? The music files which i lost were mostly on soft copy. Is it also possible to sync my iPhone to a new empty iTunes without losing my music files?
I use 2 PCs and an iPhone 4S I added photos to the phone which appear in the Photo Library, but want to copy them to my second computer (different place).
A few software available on the internet seems to be very shady and i am worried that it would harm my phone or computer is i download it. so please give me some legitimate and sureshot solution bcoz i have to have a copy and backup of some very important sms on my computer.
I have over 200 photos on my Torch that I want to copy to my computer, but when I connect the Torch to my laptop, it sayd I have 0 pictures. I've used the BB Desktop Software, and tried navigating the drive on my computer, but can't find any of my pictures either way. When I disconnect my BB from the computer, I can see my 216 pictures, but when connected, says I have none.
I know just connect the data cable to computer and transfer data but when i connect data cable to computer it does not show any thing on the computer and not even on the phone.so how should i make my phone able to transfer data to pc.
Been waiting for my Torch to arrive (my first own BB) Have been using friends old Bold and had it all set up with my email, contacts etc. (never went via my Mac). So was all ready to copy data & settings - firstly hit the problem of not being able to use mini-CD for BB User Tools with my Mac - so downloaded it from internet as well as BB Desktop Software 6.Despite the basic printed instructions which came with my Torch telling me I would get a Dialog box with the option to "copy Data and settings from another device" - there appears to be no such option available. The options seem very limited. My friends who lent me the Bold keep talking about using Desktop Manager and certainly so many posts I read here mention it - but it doesn't seem to exist on the software I have.
I have looked around online a bunch, even went to the apple store for answers on this, and still nothing.I had a MBP, its dead, i got a new one, its awesome. but now i want to sync my iphone with this new computer, I plug the phone in, it all works and everything, but if i click "sync" on any of the check boxes in say, music. apps. rungtones. etc it says it will delete the data on my phone and replace it with the data on that itunes.
Is there a way for me to jsut transfer all my **** off the iphone so it syncs with that? this is getting really annoying.The guy in the genius bar told me to backup my phone, then restore it using itunes and that iTunes would then allow me ot sync everyhting without first deleting all the information, tried that, and it didnt work, itunes just said the same message about deleteing all my applications and data and blah blah blah.no i dont have the library from the old computer to use as a reference to copy files from.
So I just bought a new laptop and I want to be able to have all of my iPhone data on the laptop (music, apps, contacts, photos, etc).How do I transfer all of this? I've tried Google but theres about 30 different ways and none of them are quite specific.Btw my new laptop is a PC, not a Mac. And I want to transfer all of my data from a PC.
I have an iPhone 3. I now have a new iPhone 4.I have my computer with lot more official and company related contacts and other data which I do not wish to transfer onto new iPhone.I would like to transfer only the same old data fro iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4.How can I do this, preferable without going thru computer or icloud.
I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
My computer crashed and we lost the hard drive. I did back up to carbonite, but essentially it is like having a whole new computer. I need to sync my phone to my restored / rebuilt mac, but the phone will think I am syncing to a brand new computer. How do I prevent loosing the following;
1) Photo's taken on my phone.
2) Contact's on my phone
3) Calenderon my phone
My iTunes library should be OK, and I'm assuming my app's will be too. If not couldn't I just download the purchases again?
