How to connect my iPhone4s to a new laptop?

I have an iPhone 4s and I use my desktop pc (Win 7 64 bit) to update the music on it through iTunes, It is set to manually manage music and when I add a new cd or downloaded album to the iPhone I delete it off the PC to save space (I have a lot of music, it's a practical solution), problem is when I plug the iPhone into my new laptop it's set to automatic sync, despite me changing this in preferences, I go to manually manage music in the iPhone main menu on iTunes and then click apply, but it tells me if I do it it'll wipe the iPhone and from doing this once before when I bought the desktop PC I don't want this to happen again as I don't have backups. Is there a way of extracting the music off the iPhone so it's not an issue if I wipe (I remember the old iPods you could go through the hidden folders and take the files) or alternatively change the laptop to manual without wiping the iPhone?

You may try the iStonsoft iPhone to computer transfer, which could help you transfer without erasing the iPhone.

  • Why won't my Iphone 4s connect to my new HP laptop? I just bought my laptop about 2 days ago and i downloaded itunes. As soon as i plugged in my iphone, a background noise popped up, and nothing happened. So i opened itunes and it would not show my iphone. Also in my computer, it did not register it either. PS: i know its not a faulty cord, because i tried 3 different ones, and every time i plug it in or unplug it makes that background noise.

The new laptop which is an acer v7 doesn't seem to work fine with the iphone. I can't transfer anything in or out of my phone i don't think its the wire cause i changed it already.
  • One laptop can connect to our home Wi-Fi network but no other devices can connect? We recently set up a wireless internet connection in our house. One laptop can connect to it (the one I'm currently on) but no other devices can connect to it. It says our "Network Security Key" is mismatched. I have tried typing in all the different codes on both the router and modem on both our second laptop and an iPhone 5. How can I fix this?
  • New sprint iphone4s contract upgrade to iPhone 5? I needed a phone for a trip I was taking so I started an new contract intending to get an iPhone 5 but I didn't have enough money at the time, so I got the 4s. Is there anyway I can trade the 4s in for a 5 or do I have to wait for my contract to end?
