IPhone :: Syncing It To New Computer Without Losing Contacts
Mar 28, 2012
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..

iPhone 4

My iphone says that it is version 7.1.2 in the settings. My computer is a Dell with Windows 8.1. I was able to get the devices to sync for music and pictures, but not the contacts. Would the contacts be saved in Outlook on my computer?Â

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.

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 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've had a lot of trouble with my phone where it is constantly searching to get reception. The only way I get messages is to swipe my phone and once it has searched my messages appear. Phone calls do not come through and voicemails are not coming up. I am due for an upgrade so will do that but I wanted to import all my photos and now my phone does not sync to my computer. I really need my photos, does anyone know wny my phone would not be syncing and what I could do to fix this problem. I have completed all the updates etc

I had my iphone stolen, and vodafone are sending me a new one. I made an iphone back up on my work computer, but not on my home PC... My iphone is being delivered tomorrow (at home) and I am then off on holiday for 3 weeks, so I won't be able to get to my work computer to restore... is there a way I can get the back up information (currently on my work computer) to my home pc, so I can restore it from there tomorrow? I am at my work computer at the moment...

An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. I would like to add a ringtone, but it is synced with another computer. If I erase and sync, will I lose all my contacts and photos? I have a lot of contacts and photos and I don't want to add them all over again even though it is saved to my SIM card. I have a lot of contacts that I added myself and were not saved to my SIM card. So will it erase contacts and photos? I don't care about games and music though because I have no music and not a lot of games.

I have an iPhone which now has iOS 5 on it. Recently I had to get a new computer, but it's an old model, running Microsoft XP and Outlook 2002. I successfully synched my iPhone with everything except Outlook. Does anyone have any advice on how to get my contacts from my phone to Outlook? Note: I have tried entering a dummy contact before syncing, but that didn't work for me. Is my Outlook just too old? The syncing worked with the same version of Outlook on my old computer.
