I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that.  Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

    Restore your phone as a new device in iTunes, this "should" remove the jailbreak & restore all default apps to your phone.

    Do you have a Delicious extension installed? <br />
    If so, look for that option in that extensions options. <br />
    If not, look at the extension s that you ''do'' have installed for that preference.

  • I have a new computer, and a new iTunes. My old computer crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I switch over my iPod and iPad to my new iTunes?

    My laptop crashed and I cannot access the harddrive. How can I transfer everything to my new iTunes to be able to sync my products with having to "erase" and start from scratch on evrything? Any insight will be greatly appreciatted!  Thank you!!

    Your iPad is married to its now deceased old computer. This is the reason for the necessity of a backup for your computer, which your iPad is not.
    Your iTunes Store and App Store purchases will not be lost. Just don't "erase and sync" when you sync your iPad to your new Mac:
    If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.

  • Synch Audiobooks:  How to get them off my iPhone but keep them in iTunes?

    I'd like to keep my audiobooks on iTunes but not have them take up space on my iPod and iPhone. How do I delete them from just the iPod & iPhone?

    If you set your iphone to manually manage on the summary screen, you can drag and drop what you want to the iphone and delete directly from the iphone.
    The option to manually manage is on the summary screen when you connect the iphone to itunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have an iPhone and i used to be on a joined account with my mom.  I am now trying to get on to my own account but i want to keep the music and apps that have already downloaded with my mom's account.  How can i do this?

    Hi my name is Scott,
    I'm trying to get my old information (apps, music) from my iphone that was previously on a different account to sync on a new account.  I just got a new macbook pro and got a new account to go with it.  Now i have tried to homeshare the accounts and drag the music over to download it onto this new account but i can't get the homesharing to work because it says the password doesn't match even though i have used the same one to log on and off of homesharing on my mom's account.  I have recently tried to back up my phone onto this new account and it asks if i want to authorize it and asks for the password for my mom's account.  I have the password but i am hesitant to authorize it with my mom's apple ID and password because i don't want her account to be on this computer.  I want it to be my own account just with my personal music from my iphone on it.  I dont know if it will just sync my iphone's information to my new account or just add my mom's apple ID account to my itunes on my computer.  What should i do to get my information from my iphone from my mom's account onto my new account? Thank you

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

  • HT4527 While upgrading my operating system to Windows 7, I backed up everything on external drive.  However the drive is corrupt and lost my music.  Since I have an iPhone I had the music there as well, I synced it and it erased everything. How can I get

    While upgrading to Windows 7, I backed up everything on a external drive; it became corrupt so I could not access my music library for iTunes.  However, I had my music on my iPhone as well so I assumed it will sync.  It did sync but not the way I thought, so I lost years of music and favorite uploaded CDs.  How can I recover it?  I lknow you can acess iTunes from 4 computers so the database is there somewhere.  Unfortunately all I was able to recover is the music purchased from iTunes directly.  It makes me wonder about the iCloud product; if I cannot find my music what is my incentive to buy iCloud?  It seems like they are starting to charge for something that they provided before freely, then messed up the updates and software so that we need to pay for this service now.

    iCloud never stored music. That is what the iTunes Match service is for.
    The only way to get back non-iTunes-purchased music is to import them to your new iTunes library however you did it on your old computer.

  • I updated my iphone to OS 5.0 and now cant sync with my computer/itunes

    I just updated my iphone to OS 5 and I have the updated version of Itunes.  But now I cant get my iphone to sync with my itunes and all I have are the apps (the rest of my music and videos was wiped with the update and I cant get the music because it wont sync.
    I get the message:  Your iphone cannot by synced.  The required disk cannot be found.

    Have you tried disconnecting the phone and reconnecting it? I've had to do that on several occasions, just randomly when I've tried connecting the phone. Also, sometimes exiting out of iTunes and then re-opening works. I once even got a random message telling me that I needed to set my phone up as new because it couldn't read it. Which totally freaked me out. I disconnected, exited and then reconnected and it was back to normal.

  • HT6378 How can I delete photos from my phone and keep them on Icloud?

    I want to make room for more photos on my phone without loosing the photos

    Use services like dropbox, Google drive or One Drive to back up your pictures and then delete it from your phone or save it to your computer.
    You cant do it with icloud because, its like a sync service. if you delete it from your phone, it'll be deleted from icloud too..

  • My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
    How can I correct this?

    I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.
