IPhone :: Syncing To Someone's Other Computer Without Losing His Photos?
May 29, 2012
My friend has an iPhone but her computer died. She would like to sync her phone on my computer and get the latest updates. Is there a way to do this so that she doesn't lose her photos and have her music library replaced with mine?
im trying to sync my phone to my new computer without losing all my contacts.
i dont care about the photos or music, ive got all the music on my computer anyway..... and the photos i can recover from the phone without syncing.... but as soon as i do the sync its going to clear all my contacts and and start fresh, as there is no history of my phone on my new computer.
ive gone from a broken pc ( its dead, so i cant get the old itunes history) , and now i have a MAC, and im worried that when i say YES to the sync its going to wipe the phone clean and sync it with a contact file that is blank.....
so is there a way i can get the contacts off my phone before i do the sync so i don't lose them..
im not sure if anyone has asked this question but is there a way to sync the photos from my phone to my mac? its annoying as heck to either email them or upload them to photobucket every time i want it on my mac
How do I permanently & completely change the PC I sync my iPhone 4 to? I already lost all music and data when dinosaur PC died forever. I have a new laptop and want to be able to sync again without losing the only music and data I have -- the stuff still on my iPhone. I sync contacts through Exchange and email, calendars and notes to Gmail.
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???
I no Can my iPhone 4 be synced to a new computer without losing all the information on it, as I no longer have access to the original computer, that it was synced too? When I have tried to do this on a mac computer, nothing would happen.
After syncing pictures to an iPhone,is it possible to delete pics from the folders on the phone or do I have to always delete/move pictures around on my computer?
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.
How do I connect my I-phone 3 GS to the computer to get the latest updates without loosing all my information on my phone? Do I need to take into store.
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?
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?
I want to delete photo's from my phone as they are now in albums - but I cannot seem to do this without losing the albums as well. How do I delete from the main 'camera roll' without losing the photo's from the designated albums?
So if i update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music..correct? None of these things are saved on my computer [except some of the music]...
I Have an iPhone 5 and want to know if I can remove photos without losing them off my ipad. I have been downloading them to my old laptop but was wondering if I can stop using my laptop and replace it with another iPad mini?
I recently got a macbook pro and I was just wondering how to sync my iPhone 4 to my new mac without losing all of my contacts, pictures, etc. I have set up icloud and home sharing and all of my contacts and pictures from my phone are saved on my macbook through that, I just want some reassurance that if I plug it in I shouldn't loose that stuff before I actually tried it.
My operating system crashed last 2 weeks. That was the OS my iphone syncing with itunes. I recovered my music and videos from it and then when I reformat my laptop I put my songs and videos on the same directory as my old laptop's music and video directory. today I plugged my iPhone to my newly reformatted laptop to delete all the music but when I went to the "iPhone name" > "music". due to reason that I can't delete or even add a new music into my iphone I check the "Sync Music" checkbox and asked me "Are you sure you want to sync music? all existing songs and playlists on the ''iPhone name' will be replaced with songs and playlist from your iTunes library". So I clicked the "Sync Music" and hit the "apply" button on the lower right part of iTunes. After clicking the button I received another confirmation shown below...
If click the "Erase and Sync", what kinds of contents iTunes will erase? I'm afraid it might also erase my apps. or even my contacts.
I am trying to sync my iphone with my mac but I don't know if i need to put other stuff in itunes before i sync. I don't wanna lose the stuff on my phone.
My iMac has just completely died, I now want to sync my iphone to my work iMac, will I lose all the photos, contacts and apps? or will it transfer them to the iMac? I'm not bothered about the music because I have that on there already I'm just worried about the rest.
My friend doesn't have a personal computer and has never synced/backedup/updated software on her 3GS. I suggested using my laptop - my sister didn't check how you do this and so went ahead logging on with my friends itunes account. She now has all my contacts aswell as her own!how you sync 2 iphone on the same computer but make them completely separate?
