  • When i try to preview a song using my iphone and computer, it just loads quickly and there is no sound.

    Ive been trying to preview songs on itunes, using my iphone and computer. Typically when previewing a song, it loads and its a blue color and it will play. Now when i try to preview, it stays black, and loads super fast and theres no sound. And I seem to be getting different prices on albums every time i click on one. Its just being really weird.
    any tips or tricks?? ive tried resetting my phone and everything else. nothing is working.and i can play all the music on my phone with no problem. i just cant preview anything in itunes.

    The number of devices authorized on an account and the number that an iPhone can sync to are two different things. You can now authorize up to 5 computers or 10 devices to play your content, but still an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can only be tied to one computer at a time. You can copy content from other computers to the computer used for syncing, and get it on the iPhone that way.
    Connect the phone to that computer, whichever you want to be the "master" of the iPhone. Click on its name in iTunes. On the right there is a Summary screen. Scroll down it and you will see several checkboxes. One of them is "Manually manage music and videos". If this is checked you must drag content from iTunes to the iPhone. If you have a large library, however, this can be cumbersome.
    The alternative is to leave this box unchecked, and instead click on the "Music" tab when the phone is connected. You can then just check the content you want on the phone, by artist, genre, title, playlist, etc. After checking you click the "Update" or "Sync" button and everything you have checked syncs automatically.

  • How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?  I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

    How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both?  I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

    If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
    There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

    I have different account ID's with my iphone and computer.
    I would like to standardize both to just the one.
    One of the ID's doesn't work, when I tried to list this second email with the preferred one a message telling me that this email is already in use pops up.. yes it is, with me??
    Is there an easy to fix this please, Fabfitz

    If the email address you want to use is being used as the primary email address on a different ID you have to manage that ID and change it to a different primary email address.  This explains how: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support.
    If it is being used as an alternate or rescue address on a different ID, you manage the ID and either remove it or change it to a different email address.  This explains how: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support.

  • Iphone and computer died, need to get the files from hard drive

    Iphone and computer died at the same time, my hard drive on the computer is ok, i did a external connection of my hard drive to my laptop, my iphone was backed up on itunes on the computer which are on the hard drive, how do i extract contacts and other files from the hard drive thanks

    If the old drive is not accessible then, no, you will not be able to access all your files on it. In this case you may need to look at the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • HT4539 I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

    Need help, I want to download all the music I purchased through my iphone and computer from the first date i had iphone to date, and keep it in both my computer and iphone.

    You cannot synch the other way, with the exception of songs purchased on iTunes.
    What you need to do is move the iTunes library from the computer to which you've been synching your phone and put it on your new MacBook. 

  • The iphone has a picture of the itune symbol and the picture of the connect cord. When i connect the cord to iphone and computer it doesn't acknowledge the connect.

    Hello JBH 1162
    Check out the articles below to get your iPhone to show up in iTunes so it can be restored. Start with the first one to see if you can make any change to show up in iTunes and if it does not, then pick either the second or third article for the type of computer that you have.

  • Linking ipad, icloud, iphone and computer with changed email address and password?

    I changed my email address and password on Apple and am now having trouble getting my ipad, iphone, icloud and computer to accept changes. What should I do? Thanks.

    Hello gmille1,
    It sounds like you no longer have access to the email address that is also your Apple ID and you cannot remember the password for it. According to the following article you may be able to reset the password either by answering your security questions or sending a password reset email to your rescue email address if you had one setup.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Answer your security questions
    Select “Answer security questions,” then select Next.
    Select your birth date, then select Next.
    Answer your security questions.
    Set a new password and select Reset Password.
    Use email authentication
    Select “Email authentication,” then select Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
    Open the email and select the link to change your password.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.
    Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • HT1296 iphone and computer not syncing calendar

    I have a new iphone 5 and use a macbook with os 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.1. When I connect with my usb to sync phone and computer, the calendar will not delete things or add things that I have on the computer or on the phone. I have all calendars marked and I've tried just checking other specific calendars and nothing is working. Is there a setting or something I might be missing??

    What if there is no "Info" tab?  When I connect my iPhone 5S, I see  "Summary-Apps-Tones-Mucis-Movies-TV Shows-iTunesU-Books-Photos".  I'm on Mavericks...?

  • How to set up Bluetooth with iPhone and computer

    Hi there.
    I am now the proud owner of a brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB and I'm in love...
    I'm trying to set it up with Bluetooth. I used to be able to "Bluetooth" files to and from my computer with other mobile devices but I have difficulties with the iPhone. It won't connect. Anybody knows what I need to do? Cheers.

    The iPhone _does not_ support Bluetooth file transfer. You must use the USB cable for syncing, or there are file transfer/storage apps in the App Store (Files, File Magnet, Air Sharing, there are lots) that use Wi-Fi.
    On the iPhone, Bluetooth is limited to voice calls, music streaming to stereo headphones, and tethering (using the phone as a cellular modem). Tethering requires carrier support - O2 and Orange support it, Tesco does not.

  • Already tried FAQ, keep getting this message on iPhone and computer: iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)

    Only happened after I got a new iPhone *(upgraded from 4 to 5c) and I downloaded the iOS 8.1.2 update.
    I've already tried everything on the FAQ page for this error, and nothing's worked yet.
    Error looks like this iTunes on my computer: iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)
    Also won't connect on my iPhone after signing in.
    Just changed my password so it's not that, and I've already restarted my iPhone twice.
    PLEASE help. I just got an iPhone 5c and I want to download my old ring tones and alert tones!!!

  • I need help connecting my iPhone and computer together.

    I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

    Howdy sprinklemk,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
    To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
    An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
    A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
       OS X version 10.6.8 or later
       Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
    Cheers,
    -Jason
