All music wiped out during sync

I'm a brand new iPhone user and synched for the first time not knowing what I was doing. I share a computer with my daughter and when I synched it completely wiped out ALL her music. We have synched again over and over, and cannot get her music back on her iPhone. Can anyone give me guidance?

Eyedoc, I feel your pain. The iPhone does not backup your Bento Data. From your first sentence, I take it that you used Bento for iPhone and then used the Mac Desktop ver. to sync. If thats the case, then your blank database will sync to your iphone. If your data was already on your desktop Bento then Bento would have reminded you to Backup your data. If you indeed did a backup, then that file will be where ever you chose to save it where you can then reimport. I hope this helps. Please check Bento discussions
for further info.

Itunes removes all music from iphone during sync

Every other time I connect my iPhone to my computer the sync with iTunes causes the iPhone to lose all music. I only sync one playlist ("On-the-go") which contains all the albums I want on my phone and for my purposes is sufficient. I do not use iTunes Match (not even subscribed), only use iCloud for "Find My iPhone" and have very few "purchased" items as part of the playlist. All other purchases have been moved off the iPhone. In iTunes "Sync only checked songs and videos" is checked. When I discover that the music is gone I can see in the Music pane of iTunes that none of the playlists are now checked. This is something that iTunes is doing by itself, I always leave one playlist checked. I'm getting a bit fed up of this - its been going on for several weeks now and takes far too long to copy the music back and then re-set alarms and other apps that use the music.
Any constructive suggestions would be gratefully received.
iPhone 4S iOS 8.1.3
iTunes 12.1.0.50

I fixed this problem by dumping iTunes altogether and going with Amazon Cloud player app on the iPhone. Much better experience than iTunes and iTunes Match.

Contact Ringtones & Photos getting wiped out during sync

I hope someone else has experienced this issue and can help me. I get on my iPhone 3G and assign ringtones and photos to my contacts, but the photos and ringtones don't "push" to MobileMe, so that every time I do a sync with iTunes for new music and videos, the photos and ringtones get wiped out and everything goes back to Default. I can go in and set Contact photos in MobileMe, but I have no way to set ringtones for those contacts there. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with Entourage -- every time I sync, all of my specific iPhone info is lost: ringtone and photo specifically. In order to use Entourage, it has to be synced through Address Book and iCal. What a kludge this is! Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable workaround and I refuse to use Apple's horrible little Mail, Address Book and iCal apps in place of the rather elegant (dare I say this) Microsoft Entourage.

Contacts and address book wiped out when syncing iphone

HELP!! All my address book contacts on my computer and all my iphone contacts were wiped out after syncing. Sadly, I have never backed up. I've gotten as far as library>app support>address book, but the files are computer mumbo jumbo with bits and pieces of my old info thrown in. Is there any way to convert this to human speak??? Thanks,
Desperately seeking my info back

Contact info is included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process - if any of the data on your iPhone that is included with the backup has changed since the last sync.
If you haven't synced your iPhone again since the contact info was lost with the last sync, do not sync again and try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
If this restores your contact info, before syncing contact info with the Address Book on your Mac, enter one unique contact in the Address Book on your Mac. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This should provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info, which you want to select.

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

IPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar

I need some help.
iPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar.
Unable to restore from backup as my iPhone was backed-up before I realised my calendar info was gone.
I found an old backup file in my old disk but was unable to move the old calendar data to the empty outlook after restore. It just keep wiping out after I sync.
Thanks.

I have managed to find an old back up to restore my iPhone. However even with at least one entry in my outlook, my calendar details on my iPhone was still wiped out and was not transferred to my outlook.

Got my Iphone unlocked recently and now when inserted new sim, all the apps got wiped out, tried syncing it again from itunes but still it isnt getting installed. Can someone help?

Hi,
Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?

Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

Exported slideshow to Quicktime, music now out of sync

Hello: I created a slideshow in iPhoto with music and transitions in sync, then exported it to Quicktime. When I play it in Quicktime, the music track is slightly out of sync with the slides. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

slhmca:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I think that problem was fixed with 10.4.8 and the newest Quicktime version. Download and use the 10.4.8 COMBO updater as opposed the the Software Update method. I'd do the same with the Quicktime version. QT 7.1.3 is required if you need to access videos from the iTMS. Otherwise QuickTime 7.1.2 for Mac will suffice. It depends on your iTunes situation.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

IOS5/Itunes 5 sync issues - music greyed out, not syncing across

Hello,
I am having issues syncing music from iTunes to my iphone and ipad. I use autofill, but have had the same issue when using the sync all music option. All the files are listed in the music tab under the device, but half are greyed out and unplayable on the device (they are greyed out on the device too). There is a sync icon next to the files, but clicking on it does nothing.... I did a clean restore to ios5 and it copied my apps over, but none of my music, pictures etc. This is really annoying can anyone help?

Itunes 5

I have been fighting this problem with both my iPhone, my partner's, and my nephew's. It seems to have something to do with music purchased in iTunes vs. music that is ripped, since all my ripped music transfers fine and stays put.
On the other hand, downloaded content shows up doubled (one black, one grey) when I look at my music through the iTunes, just like that screen cap. As long as there's a "black copy" showing, it plays fine on my iPhone 4s, but I find I have to remove the greyed out copies manually and then manually transfer from my iTunes library or from the purchased option on the phone itself. In other words, if the music on the phone in only greyed out copies, and it's not on the phone, it doesn't transfer manually unless I first delete the greyed out versions. -- And then the greyed out versions magically reappear after it contacts the cloud and backs up.
I also sometimes end up with doubled copies, and my albums don't all sort the way they should -- so for example some Diane Schuur shows up under the artist name, and some shows up under albums. To put it all together I had to make a playlist, which is stupid.
Finally, there are some 46 items it tries to sync everytime I do any wi fi syncing of anything with my phone. I have no idea what that is.
I'm tempted to wipe and let all iTunes content be restored from the iCloud, a process that would require an overnight restore. I'm guessing that might solve the problem, but why should it all be this hard? Does Apple look at these comments, because I notice there are several different threads on this site concerning the music app and the iTunes/syncing issue?

Timed Out during sync.

All too often when I am trying to sync/dowlnoad some music from my WIndows PC to my iPod Touch, I get an error message "Timed Out"; this sync could not be completed. This can happen within a few Seconds of the Sync starting, so I cannot have used excessive time. What it going on? What am I doing wrong? and how can I stop this happening?

Did you check your security software settings? See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

Music wiped out w/ iTunes download

Am I the only person whose music from my own CDs is wiped out when I download the latest version of iTunes? This is the 2nd time this has happened. It only retains what I've purchased from the iTunes store.

That is unusual and should not be happening. Did you backup your songs via TimeMachine or some other method prior to updating?

Music slightly out of sync when exporting in Premiere CS6, format problem?

Hi guys, i have a quick question.
I edited together a promo for a local band and everything is perfect in the sequence as far as being on point with the music at certain beats and such. However when I export it the music is slightly out of sync, which is bad when you edited everything specificly to the song. I am not using ANY audio from the footage but instead layed a music track over everything. I'm not sure what else to do, could it be a format problem? I am using h.264 (see below), but would AVI or anything else work better? any help is appreciated thank you!
I am exporting directly from inside Premiere CS6 using a custom H.264 preset. 24fps, VBR 2 pass encoding. Target 7MB, Max 11MB. (with render at maxium bit depth, and render at highest quaility selected.)
I put the audio settings to high, 320kbs AAC format.
I use a custom built PC with an i7-3770K, 32 GB RAM, and I exported to a 120GB SSD.
Any other info you need just ask.any types for uploading to vimeo so it doesn't get out of sync there? thank you in advance!
Also, any types for uploading to vimeo so it doesn't get out of sync there? thank you in advance!

Hi,
I dont think that you will really get a problem while exporting in any of the given formats. But i would really like to check if the audio layer is exactly same as of the video. for eg - if my audio is 00:05:30 and my video is 00:05:20 , we might face issue with the sync.
We can try to put more black video to make it a match with the audio and then try to export.
Where do you have the media files , on a internal drive like c: or desktop? In case not , try to move the media files to desktop and then try to export.
Also instead of exporting the files to your 120GB SSD , try to export it on the desktop.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

"Device timed out" during sync

I'm running Windows XP SP2, iTunes 7.5, and iPod software 1.1.2 and I keep getting this error message when trying to sync my new Touch. It worked fine on my old 3rd Gen iPod. I have USB 2.0 also. Anyone else getting the "Device timed out" during the sync process?

I'm still having problems, I can't even update to 1.1.3 because of this problem. Most of the time I don't get any songs on there before it times out but some times two or three songs will go on and it will time out. This is really a problem, I have to go to a new computer just to try and restore because this one gets an error.
Friday I am going to the genius bar, I am hoping they can work it out.

All Video Streams out of sync

A few months back I noticed that when I watched online movies on Netflix about 10 minutes in the video becomes choppy and then the voice/video are out of sync. I thought it was just Netflix (called them - they told me my PROCESSOR needed to be updated bc it was too slow!). NOW all videos (youtube too) are messed up - 5-10 min in.
I have a Macbook Pro, 8 GB Ram, 2.26 Processor. It is a mid 2009 laptop.
Should I just go to Genius Bar???
Thanks for ANY suggestions!
