Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    The application ITunes presumes that the information, data, music, etc in its database is the correct master. In doing so, it will overwrite and replace any information previously on the phone. You probably will want to transfer the iTunes data directory from it's original location (presumably the system yoiu used to sync with your iPhone previously), the the new system.
    If your iPhone has data from a different Apple ID, than the ID you will use on the new notebook, then be prepared to lose the data on the phone if you sync. It's meant to work that way.

  • How can I sync my iPhone with a new iTunes library and not loose apps?

    Up until a few days ago I was syncing my iPhone with my PC notebook. Long story short, the machine crashed and I had to re-install. luckily I had a backup of all of the music from my iTunes library which is now hosted on my Mac Mini, but I didn't have a copy of my apps (why iTunes keeps these files outside of the folder I kept my library in I don't know).
    Now I'm syncing music and video with my Mac Mini, but when I select that I want to sync apps I get the message that everything on the phone will be deleted.. Is there a way to back up the apps so I can add them to the library and sync them back to the phone without losing them?

    I had the same issue with a withdrawn app. Just copy all the .app files from the old directory to somewhere on the new machine, then drag them onto the Application menu item on the left hand side and iTunes will import them as long as you've already registered iTunes for the same account.
    Job done! Worked a treat for me - including the app that wasn't available any more.....

  • I can't sync my iPhone with my macbook pro?

    its a long story but what happened was a few months ago in June of 2014 I found out my macbook pro had a virus. I have had my mac for almost a year before June so I had synced my iPhone which was running 7.0.6 and still is since I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 8. So the only way to get rid of the virus I had to erase my entire mac. I basically returned it to factory settings. I lost all my data. Lucky I saved some of my data on an external hard drive. Now fast forward to today Nov 27 and I had downloaded music from iTunes on the same iPhone and i wanted to sync my music on iTunes and my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and it says that my iPhone 5s is synced with another computer but in reality its the same computer its just I restarted my mac to factory settings. I've tried going online to see if there's a way to bypass it and trick my iPhone into thinking its syncing the with the same iTunes cause thats the reason it won't sync with two computers but my problem is I'm using the same mac and i can't find a way to fix my problem. PLEASE HELP ME.

    Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

  • I accidentally synced my iPhone with a different iTunes, now I lost all my purchased music. How do I get it back?

    I had synced my phone onto a different iTunes account without thinking about it. I had purchased a few songs and episodes from the iTunes library and now I'm having a hard time recovering them. The new iTunes lets you purchase previously downloaded apps and books but I can't find anywhere to download my songs and tv shows. I have the list items in my previous purchases history but every time I go to download it again it asks to buy again. Is there anyway of getting them back for download or will I have to suck it up and pay again? I have an iPhone 3GS if that helps. Thanks for your time.

    Not 100% sure, but I think even though it says "buy", it will recognize that you have already bought it and it won't charge you again.
    Maybe someone here can confirm that that is indeed the case?

  • I can't print two-sided with my macbook air. i've tried to look for the driver in the settings of printer and faxes but there is none, my printer is able to print for that kind of option. please help

    Canon MP280 Series

    When you select print you should see a menu option labeled Printer Settings (or Printer Options). This may be hidden in 2 different ways. First, the program may have minimized the print dialog box. Look for a button labeled Show Details. If you see it you'll need to click on the button to see all the printer options that are available. Having done this you'll see more options. Typically you'd look for the Printer Settings under a popup menu labeled Layout but sometimes something else is showing. For example, below you'll see that Safari hides it under Safari.

  • I'm having trouble syncing my Iphone to my MacBook Air.  First time I have had this problem.

    This is the first time I am having a problem syncing my IPhone with my MacBook Air.  It has always worked in the past but dates/times I have input into my phone will not transfer to my MacBook??

    My contacts are all on my iMac, but the iPhone5c won't sync w it or iCloud.  I only get a partial list.  I have no idea where the partial list is coming from.  The old iPhone had all of my contacts.

  • Can I sync my iPhone with my MBP via BlueTooth?

    Hey All..
    I'd love to sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro via bluetooth but when I use the Bluetooth set-up assistant to add a device it doesn't even find my iPhone. I wondered if maybe it wasn't possible to link the two. Also...when I was in bluetooth and "browse device" my bluetooth kept quitting. Not sure if a)Bluetooth cant connect the phone yet b)my bluetooth on my MBP isn't functioning.
    If anyone who can help with suggestions it would be great..
    ~RICKY

    Transferring music, video and photos is slow to me with USB 2.0 instead of using Firewire, so it would be like watching paint try trying to transfer such data via Bluetooth file transfer.
    Not supported with the iPhone regardless.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • I can't sync my iPhone with iOS5 with my Mac Book Pro for Wi-fi.

    I can't sync my iPhone with iOS5 with my Mac Book Pro for Wi-fi. The message error is: that's not compatible or something like this. But in the iPhone and the video of iOS 5 says that this it's possible. What can I do? Thanks for helping

    Might be easier to post numbers so other people with exact same settings can compare directly.  Also helps to post screenshots before and after getting the error.

  • TS1627 All of a sudden, I can't sync my Iphone with Outlook. The phone just says "no calendar"

    All of a sudden, I can't sync my IPhone with Outlook. The calendar on the phone is now blank.

    Similar problem.
    No problem with the imac G5 but tower Power PC allows only the initial sync (ie after erasing all contacts and events in my phone and reseting device in bluetooth syst pref and in isync).
    For the following syncings I always get the same message.
    [K800i] Connection to the phone failed.
    Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.
    Restarting my phone does not help.
    Anyone an idea?

    From tt2:
    In brief...
    You can sync as many devices as you like to a single library.
    Up to five computers can be authorized for your account's protected content.
    Each device can hold protected content from up to five different accounts.
    Managing apps purchased with more than one account is a chore.
    A combination of up to 10 iOS devices and computers can be authorized for automatic downloads of your purchases.
