Trying to sync my iphone to a new computer?

I took all my music files from my old computer on a flash drive to put onto my new one so I wouldn't have to lose all my music and when I downloaded iTunes I added it all to the empty library.

When I went to sync my phone it said I didn't have enough space to sync. I'm confused because it said it would remove all the music on my phone and sync the new but it doesn't have enough space, what am I doing wrong?

"what am I doing wrong?"

Trying to sync your music - it's a stupid way to put music on your computer. Stupid for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that when your iPod is set to be automatically synced, iTunes will block off all the memory on your iPhone needed to hold everything in iTunes - it's like holding a table at a popular restaurant.

Check the box for manual management of music and video. I've used MM for years on my iPod Touchy 3rd Gen. Also on my 1st Gen Nano, iPhone 5 & iPad 3, so you know that it works on old and new devices.

Hope this helps.

  • Trying to update iPhone to iOS7 on new computer? I just got this computer and never hooked up my iPhone 4 with it. I'm pretty sure I just uploaded all my files from the phone to the computer, now it's saying on the phone that I have to plug it back to iTunes, and when I do that it says "must restore and update." But when I press restore, it says I have to erase all my files, but after it I can restore all me memory back onto it. What's going on? What should I do?

  • If i sync my iPhone to my computer will it take my photos off my phone and put them on the computer? I need to have my phone synced for the app zedge but i don't want my photos to be taken off my phone. There's this bar and on it it says photos, app, ect. And next to it is a little button that says sync. So IIm guessing it will take my photos. But i don't want that to happen but i need to sync my phone. Is there anyway i can do it without having my pictures going on to the computer?
