What will happen to my iTunes library if I choose 'Set up as new iPhone'?
So, a week ago, I backed up all my music onto my laptop. There was a problem with my iPhone, so I went to the apple store and got it replaced. There's nothing on my iPhone right now. When I hooked my iPhone up to my laptop, iTunes gives me the choice of setting it up as a new iPhone, or restore from my last backup. I chose to restore from my last backup, and it told me "The backup can't be restored to this iPhone because the software on the iPhone is too old". My only other option was to set it up as a new iPhone - if I do this, will it erase everything in my iTunes library (on my laptop)?
Not your laptop but phone
No. It would not affect your computer stored music.
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- Will downloading a new iTunes ruin my old iTunes library? I tried connecting my new iPhone 5 to my iTunes but it said that it wouldn't connect because my version of iTunes was really old (from 2010) and I never updated. It said I need to download a new version of iTunes (10.7 onwards) for it to be compatible with my iPhone. But my question is, IF I download a new version of iTunes, will all my old songs on my old iTunes disappear? Because if I had to re-download my whole library, I would seriously cry. That would take the rest of my life.
- What happens if i choose to set up iPhone as new? I don't want all the pictures and other stuff from my old phone to my new one, but i do want to keep all my music, I'm iphone retarded so i'm sorry if the answer is so obvious.
- If i plug my old iphone into a new itunes library what will happen? I have my iphone, and I got a new itunes account on my new computer for other reasons. If i plug my old iphone in, will it erase all my data and text messages and photos and apps? All i want to do is download music off of my phone to the computer for other reasons also. But if i plug it in, will everything be gone?
