How to sync iPhone library with iPhone with deleting phone's content?
My computer's registry became corrupted so I had to reinstall Windows. I'm running the latest version. I have the latest version of iTunes too.
When I go to sync my iPhone to my computer, it won't let me automatically update new music downloads or playlist changes from my computer to my iPhone.
iTunes says,
"Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
"Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to your iPhone from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library."
My computer is authorized for this iPhone.
Is this just a standard warning or will I love all the save data on my iPhone for my apps? Just making sure.
The warning is standard and unless you have backups of your photos and PDFs you will loose them.
iTunes on the computer can automatically download all apps directly to the pc. Just sign into to the store, click on 'purchases' select all' then begin download. Do this for apps, music, videos, tv and books.
You can also have purchases that are currently on your phone transferred to the pc by right clicking on the device name in the iTunes side bar and select transfer purchases, this will not use an internet connection.
Anything that you had ripped to iTunes from a CD, prior to the reinstall will have ripped again.
If you have an external hard drive, I suggest that once you have followed the above steps, export the library to it. It will save you a lot of time if you ever have to do a factory reset on the pc again or upgrade to a new device.
- Will deleting my iTunes library erase it from everything? I recently got an apple computer and have been switching everything over from my pc. Once done, I'm giving my old pc to someone else so I want to make sure none of my old stuff is on it. I have already imported my iTunes library to my apple computer so I want to get rid of it on the other one. If I delete all the music in the library on the windows, will it also delete from the mac and my other devices it's on? Like my iPod and phone?
- My iPhone 4 was stolen, will the thief be able to access my phone's content? My iPhone 4 was stolen unfortunately. It is locked with a passcode. If the thief syncs it to iTunes, will he able to access my iPhone's content (i.e.pictures, notes, contacts). I'm really worried he'll be able to get to my information and whatever I have stored in my phone.
