How to transfer my old iPhone onto my new computer's iTunes?
So, my old laptop crashed. I got a new laptop but obviously the iTunes is completely new. How can I transfer everything from my iPhone onto the new iTunes? Without it completely wiping my phone? That's what I'm afraid of.
In the "Backup" section on iTunes it says "manually back up and restore to this computer"… Would that work? I don't want to try and then have it wipe everything clean! The option to back up, not the restore button (the two options are beside each other).
* secondary question too - I have the old harddrive for my other computer. But I didn't save any of my music in a specific folder… Did iTunes make one that i would be able to find and transfer my music from? Since I unchecked a LOT of songs on my iTunes that would be lost now since they aren't on my phone, and I'd like them on my itunes still.
You can try using software to safely transfer the music like PhoneTrans Pro the one i used,
Pros:
# brings a convenient & immediate salvage solution, it simplifies the work flow down to 1-click with iWizard, a feature unique to iMobie products.
# Besides music, it keeps your personal data like play lists, ratings, plays and artworks after downloading the iPhone music to the iTunes.
# it is developed by Apple Certified Developers so there's guarantee to the safety of digital files as well as the usability of program.
