Cant add songs to my iphone

The iphone will sync itunes content with one and only one computer. If your sync to another, then it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.

Use your backup copy to put everything back.

The music sync is one way -computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases

It is much simpler to use your backup copy.

If you sync contacts/calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.

I completely understood.

It has always been very basic to ALWAYS have a backup of your computer, as computers/hard drives do not always announce their pending failure.

If you do not backup EVERYTHING, then you will probably lose it at some point.

If you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchase sonly from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

You can enter one unique contact and calendar entry on you computer. When you sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

You should begin today, backing up all info/file/docs/music/pics/etc.

You can ONLY transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer, as explained before.


You should be backing up EVERYTHING regularly.

You should regularly make a copy of everything on your computer to an external source - dvd, flash drive, external drive,etc.

You can just copy everything or use a backup program.

You can type "backup itunes library" into the google search bar or into the search bar at the top of this page.
