My itunes will not sync any of my music onto my iphone 4s. It also has this huge "other" category that is about 4 gb long. How can I get my music to sync back onto my iPhone?

I just want to figure out how I can resync all of my music back onto my iphone using itunes.

Texas Mac Man post (2/10/2012) on "Other" data on iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19861751
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20053939 - "If it is much more than a gb or so, then it indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve." "If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20054011

  • TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • OS X 10.6.7 Canon All-in-One 480 Printer will not print files, only blank pages. Have to go to Utilities, Disk Utility  and Repair permissions for a temporary fix. How can I get a permanent fix?

    After upgrading to OS X 10.6.7., my Canon All-in One MP 480 printer will not print. it says it is printing, but the sheet of paper just runs through the printer and comes out blank. I finally went online to just answers.com and got a fix involving the System preferences, printer and fax. i was told to go to Applications in the HD, thenUtilities, then Disk Utilities, highlight the HD and check on Verify Disk. If it says Disk is OK, click on Repair Permissions. At first, that worked, but the next time I went to print after turning the printer off, it refused to print and just ran the sheet of paper through blank. Once that happens, there is no way to go back to printing the file that failed. I fiinally had to copy and paste the info from the file that would not print and put it in an email to myself and then print that. This is very frustrating, and I would really like a final solution for the problem.

    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • HT4759 I lost all my contacts in my iphone. How can I get them from my icloud back to my iphone?

    All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I get my previously purchased ringtone back on my Iphone after being replaced under warrenty?

    I just got my phone replaced under warrenty and all of my music purchases, contacts and everything transfered over through icloud except for my ringtone that I paid for. I cant seem to figure out how to get it back on my phone. Help please?

    Doesn't work. The problem is with step 7 of the instructions you referenced (http://support....apple....com/kb/HT2519  ).  Step 7 reads,  "click on the download icon to download that item."
    The problem is that there is no "download icon" and yes, my country ( USA) permits re-downloads.
    Apple support says, "click the iCloud download button next to each item to download them one by one, or click the iCloud Download All button at the bottom."
    Unfortunately, there is no "iCloud download button" at all. On the "purchases" tab under the iTunes store= music, all the tabs are greyed out and read "downloaded". There are no other options.

  • HT1918 how  can i get the user manual  info back  which has  been  erased  from my  settings  icon  pafe  after  a restore from itunes

    how  can i   get  my user  manual info  back onto  my  settings   menu 
    this  heading  did  not  appear  on the settings  menu following  a  restore  necessitated  bt  a  freezing screen  glitch  thanks

    I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to, there isn't a user manual section in the iPad's Settings app. If you want an iPad then you can either download it from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
    Or if you download the iBooks app then there should be a copy in the ibookstore in it

  • I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.
