Cant sync my songs into itunes from iphone

Hi guys I rebooted my computer and I have installed iTunes again. Because I have reinstalled, my songs wont show up on the library when I go to on this phone it shows my songs but I cant sync new songs because it says remove and sync? How do I get rid of this I don't want all my songs to get deleted, Also most of my songs are not from iTunes store.... Help?

By 'rebooted' do you mean that you only rebooted it, or that you reinstalled its software ?
If rebooted then aare the songs still on your computer, just not in iTunes - by default your iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then File > Add To Library in iTunes should let you add it back.
If not then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases (including apps, films etc) back from your phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
For non-iTunes purchases (and for purchases if need be) there are some programs listed half-way down this page which can copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then add them to iTunes via File > Add To Library
If iTunes thinks that you are trying to sync the phone to a new computer : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

    How do i have iTunes only read the songs from my hard drive, rather then copying them?

  • I purchased a song off iTunes from iPhone, but has not synced with Library on home computer

    iTunes oh iPhone is not syncing with iTunes on home computer

    Syncing is from a computer to a device, not device to computer. If you want to copy it from your phone then you should be able to do so by connecting it to your computer's iTunes and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option. Or you might be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

  • Cant get my movies into itunes from my cpu

    i dont now how to get movies i have into itunes!!!!
    ive tried dragging them over but still wont work...
    tried converting the movies into mp4 still wont work..

    Try opening one of your "converted to mp4" movies in Quicktime. If it won't open in Quicktime ... then iTunes won't add it because the file is incorrectly converted and/or corrupt.

  • Problem syncing voice memos to ITunes from IPhone 4?

    Recorded Voice Memos will not sync to Voice Memos in ITunes. After connecting the IPhone, I tried Transferring Purchases, then Backup, but they do not appear in the ITunes library. Have been having this issue since latest update on 25/4/2014. I tried unticking and reticking reference to Voice Memos under Music.
    Your advice would be greatly appreciated

    Hi mallee fowl,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to transfer Voice Memos to your iTunes Library. On the Summary pane in the sync settings make sure your Manually manage music and videos in not check marked and when you sync your iPhone a playlist should be created called Voice Memos in iTunes. Please use the following article for reference. 
    iPod: Recording voice memos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
    I hope this helps,

  • How to download non purchase songs to itunes from iphone

    I have a lot of songs, downloaded from CDs, on my iPhone. I am syncing the phone to a new laptop. How do I get these songs onto the new laptop?

    Hi barbarafromoh,
    As you probably know, songs on an iPhone that are not from the iTunes store can not be downloaded directly from the iPhone to a computer or another device. One way to do what you are asking is to use iTunes Match. See this article -
    iCloud: iTunes Match
    This article tells you how to start using iTunes Match -

    If you still have access to a computer that has the songs on it in iTunes, you can use the methods described in this article to transfer them -

  • Computer Full System Restore,Need to sync old songs into XP from IPOD Touch

    My Computer had nasty virus, Removed by full system restore to out of the box settings. Itunes 9 downloaded but empty. I have a 8GB Ipod touch with 450 songs i dont want to loose. If i sync will i loose all my old library? Or should i purchase something like media/widgit to fix this?

    Hi,
    This can be done with some third party software.

  • After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

    Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

  • Ipod icons shows up on itunes but i cant sync any songs.

    there was a corruption with my ipod so i deleted all my songs till there was nothing left in my ipod and when i was done cleaning out my ipod i had to start from scratch updated the latest itunes 7.5 i think and even updated my pod.....the problem is that i ran diagnostics for ipod and the ports show that it connected and i myself see the ipod icon YET i cant sync any songs i have?? can someone please help me i need help and i need someone to give me the steps to fix this.

    That is because you are in manual mode and there is no "sync" for manually managed iPods. YOU do the transfer by dragging and dropping songs onto the iPod and remove them by selecting them and deleting them from the iPod.
    So if you dragged and dropped tunes from the iTunes library into the iPod list, then the songs should be on your iPod. Check and see.

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • My iPhone 4 won't let me download apps or sign into iTunes from the app

    Everytime I try and download an app I type in my password and nothing happens. If I click it again then it asks for my password again then retupe and have the same problem. It's the same when trying to log into iTunes from the app and the same when I try updating an app, If I type the password wrong then it tells me it's wrong. I've tried resetting the phone bye holding the two buttons for ten seconds but no joy? Oh and for some reason podcasts have dissapeared from my phone completely?

    Please update your profile. The iPhone 4 cannot run iOS 6.0.2
    Do you have any restrictions set?
    i.e. Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allowed Content) Apps > 4+

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I have many thousands of songs in my itunes library. Unfortunately, most are now pointing toward .jpgs instead of the m4a files in my itunes library. Is there anyway to fix this without reimporting all the files into itunes from scratch??

    OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.
