How to connect iphone to new computer?

Hi, I'm about to buy a new laptop and am worried about how to make sure I don't lose any of my Itunes library from my phone. Please can someone talk me through the process of installing itunes on to a new computer and connecting my iphone to it so i don't lose my purchases. I recall previously everything being wiped off. Thanks ( I'm not very tech minded so simple terms please!)

If you still have your old laptop you can export your library onto a flash drive or DVD then import it into your new laptop. If you have both the old and the new laptops at the same time you can share your library from the old to the new and import via a network connection by turning on home sharing on both laptops. Look in the help file for more details on either of these.
If your old laptop has gone you will need to purchase some iPhone transfer software (google iPhone transfer software) to get your tunes of the iPhone otherwise they may be lost when you sync the iphone

To install iTunes go to the apple website
http://www.apple.com/.../download/
and download the iTunes installer for PC or Mac. Run the installer and then log into your iTunes account (don't make a new one) to authorise the new laptop.

  • With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
  • New Apple ID with new Mac computer? I want to sync my iPhone with my MacBook that I received for Christmas. However i don't want to lose the data on my apps (most of which were free apps) or my notes, reminders etc. I need to make a new Apple ID as mine was connected to my siblings when we first all got our phones. Is there a way to do it without losing my info?
  • My new iPhone 4S won't connect to the computer? Pk so I just got my new iPhone today, and I was gonna charge it on the laptop, and tether it for Internet, but it won't connect. No error messages no nothing, won't charge, but the computer makes that sound when it reconizes a USB cable being plugged in. I updated my iTunes and it still didn't work, but my phone does charge using a wall charger please help, why won't it connect to the computer?
  • IPhone won't connect charge or connect to iTunes? Well… I'm no amateur when it comes to iPhones but this problem really has me stumped. I bought this phone and replaced the screen, the person i bought it off of couldnt remember the passcode so its disabled. I've tried putting it in dfu mode, recovery mode, etc. Still nothing. If i turn it off and leave it plugged in itll charge. I also put in a new charging port because i thought that was the problem. So i can't do anything with this phone… Any ideas?
