How do I sync my iPhone to a new computer without everything being erased?

iphone photo apps new image

Neil Piar

My old PC died. I am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS with a new laptop. When I go to sync it, it prompts me to erase my iPhone and replace the data with that on the new computer- thus losing music, videos, photos, apps, etc. I am sure this must be a widespread problem. Please help me! BTW...I am not computer savvy.

Answer
Well there is a program that Apple offers called "home sharing" It allows you to Sync your iPhone/iPod to up tp five computers at a time! I am not sure if you need your old computer for it to work though...

How to sync iPhone with new itunes without losing data?

Kate M

My laptop broke and so now I have no itunes to sync my iphone with. Luckily I have all my music on a different computer. Is there a way I can sync my iphone with the other computer (to update etc) without losing all my data: contacts, notes, photos, apps etc?

Answer
Auto sync with new computer will erase iphone contents those not purchased from itunes store, but the contacts will be kept, notes not sure.
itunes blocks this function since itunes is the tool with one way to transfer files from itune to iphone. you must utilize other tools to achieve that. There're couple of tools for transferring the files between iphone and computer (for backup)depends on your demands, e.g transfer only songs/videos, transfer photos etc. You can have a look of below review site, hope it useful.
