How to sync my iPhone to my new laptop?
So my iPhone is originally synced to (I say sync, but I never actually sync it with iTunes because there's too much music etc in my library, so it's backed up to.) my old laptop which is now a dinosaur and does not work.
On the new laptop, I keep having to create playlists and autofill music to go onto my iPhone as that's the only way (seemingly) to do it, but it doesn't solve problems as I can't delete anything on my phone or change anything AND all the playcount stays the same so clearly nothing gets changed.
My question is, can I change the "back up" to the new laptop without having to sync it and lose all the stuff already on my phone such as music, playcounts etc? And if so, how do I go about it? I don't want to risk losing everything as it hasn't been backed up for a lifetime.
Thanks for any assistance you may be able to give.
Call the Apple Care help line they may charge you but if you iPhone is under apple care they will talk you through it. They are good.
Lol plug it in. Open iTunes…
Find a program that'll rip the music off your iphone to your new pc before hand. Xilisoft is what I use

- My IPhone won't sync with my itunes on my new laptop? I bought a new laptop recently and my iphone won't sync with it. The computer is authorised and I'm using the same iTunes account on my laptop as my phone, it does detect the phone but when I try to sync it nothing happens, it finishes in a few seconds and nothing has changed on either device. I haven't tried restoring my phone to it's factory settings yet because I'm hoping there's another option? Any help is appreciated
- I have a new laptop and have Itunes, I want to make a new, fresh account? Previously My whole family (about 7 devices) were all on one itunes account and one laptop. This caused me to get my dads bagpipe music, my moms Irish music, and my brothers horrible rap music. This laptop is all mine and i want to have my own music. I'm fine with repurchasing all the songs again. But i need to permanently delete all my old itunes files on my iphone now then add it to my new account. Can someone show me how to do that?
