If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

  • I updated my phone and it has deleted the factory apps off of it and i dont know how to get them back help please

    i updated my phone and it deleted everything even the factory apps how do i get them back

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • HT203167 hey folks has anyone else lost all their ring tones from your library cause mine has disappeared and now i have no ring tones and i dont know how to get them back can some one please help me thanks

    Hey can you guys advise me on how to find missing ringtones please

    Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so they won't appear in the Purchased link for re-downloading. Are they in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library - by default your 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
    And if you have ringtones in your library then there should be a Tones Directory underneath that.
    If they aren't there then do you have them on your backup of your downloads ?
    If not, and they are still in the store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download of them

  • Hey sorry I just got my Iphone and i downladed a game on my computer from itunes store for my iphone 4 and i dont know how to get it from my computer to my iphone... can yall help

    Hey sorry I just got my new Iphone 4 and i downloaded a game from itunes off my computer and i dont know how to get it onto my iphone 4 please help

    There are two ways, you can sign into the app store from your iPhone, select upgrades at the bottom, select purchased, select not on this iPhone and download from their or plug your iPhone into iTunes, left click on your iphone in the left pannel, select the apps heading, select the game you downloaded and select sync at the bottom of the screen (make sure there is a check mark in the box beside sync apps). If the game is over 20mb you will have to be connected to wifi to download it directly on your iphone

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

    You have a backup of your computer, or at the very least of your iTunes media, correct?
    Simply copy your backup of your iTunes media into the iTunes library on your new computer.
    Connecting and syncing your device to the new computer without first recovering your iTunes media is a really, really, really bad idea.  iDevices are designed to ONLY sync with one computer.  When you plug your device into a new computer, it will wipe all media on the device when it syncs.  The only media you may be able to salvage and transfer to the new computer would be anything bought directly on the device.
    If you do not have a backup of your iTunes media, then you will want to either look at a way (using software from a third party company)  to either extract the media from you iDevice or your old computer (assuming the hard drive is not toast).

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

  • All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
    Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
    First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
    If you still see nothing, try this in order:
    1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
    2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
    3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
    4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

    Why were you never able to sync? You should be reguarly syncing
    Try putting it into recovery mode

    You can reload apps but as you don't have a backup of your iPod all data will be lost

    Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
    There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences.  But you only need to change a setting in one location.

  • Purchased songs from iTunes via iPhone 4 but files not found on comp after sync

    I purchased an entire album and one additional song from iTunes on my phone while at work on a wireless network.  When I got home it started the transfer/purchase updates or whatever.  I don't know what happened I don't think there was an interruption at any point but now I find that most of the songs from that particular album plus the additional song are seen in my library with the "!" next to them.  For the life of me I cannot find the files, they just don't exist on my computer or the external drive on which I keep my iTunes.
    With all this being said I can listen to all of the songs on my iPhone without issue... ***?
    How can I get the proper files back on my computer without having to repurchase the songs?
    I'm on Mac 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on iPhone 4
