Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books.....No!

Hi all, iTunes Sync help ...please?
I bought a MacMini having been a iPhone & iPad user with a winPC for many years and i fail to understand what iTunes wants to do with my suff on my iPhones etc. It appears to want to wipe it and start new and from previous blogs i cant see that this has actually been addressed.
I have tried to get Apple to call me by logging a case several times but they never ring and then just send me a mail saying we tried to call (they dont) so i am hoping someone can help me...please?
When i pug my iPhone or iPad in non of the apps appear in the simulation on the second tab and non of my music are there. When i hit 'Sync' a pop up says'Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to “Chr15h’s iPhone5” from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library.'
I realy dont want to loose all my data. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction...please?
Thanks (i hope) Chr15h

ITunes is not syncing my music properly, and asks if I'm sure I want to "remove existing music, films...." no!

I have researched similar questions for this issue, but none of the solved answers seem to apply for me!
This is what shows up when I click on 'music' on 'my device' (which is an iPhone 4s ios 8) it looks fine, but as you can see- some recently purchased songs have not synced properly, despite me already transferring purchased files. I wanted to delete and organize songs, but when I select a song- there's no option to delete i1! as well as this, the music shown here is not up to date with the music on my actual iPhone.
I then clicked on to the itunes library, and my music has not been synced there either. When I click sync music, it asks if I was to delete all of my existing music, films etc and I do not want that!
I searched for a similar scenario to this one, and one answer was to transfer devices and back up music before syncing and removing everything, but it didn't work for?
In desperate need of some help, I'm pretty clueless with the new iTunes and I just want to be able to have all of my music up to date and in sync!

Everything that is on your device should be in your library too. If that is not the case then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. See also Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
Once you have secured your content you can work on resolving the sync issue.
When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
Restore the chosen backup.
In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

I am trying to sync my IPOD after having my laptop repaired as it wiped clean and I keep getting a message "are you sure you want to remove existing music etc from this IPOD and sync with this ITunes library", if I say yes half of the music is lost.

How can I sync my IPOD to my home computer after it was wiped without losing all my existing music?

By following these instructions.
You can only sync with one computer

Downloaded iBooks on my Macbook Pro but when I tried to sync it on my iPhone, this appeared: "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPhone "My iPhone" will be removed". Love the iBooks as well as music. HELP!

From the message you are receiving, it sounds like you either, 1) haven't synced your iPhone with that computer before, 2) are using two different iTunes accounts, or 3) both. If you have purchased music or movies through your iPhone with a certain iTunes account and purchased books through iBooks on your MacBook through a different iTunes account then there is no having both on the phone.
Apple doesn't allow content from two different accounts on a device at the same time. Also if two "libraries" have been created, one on the iPhone and one on the Macbook then syncing will erase data that is not associated with that particular library.
If you are using the same iTunes account for both, then you should be able to redownload any purchased items (music, books, etc.) from iCloud, assuming you have set that up.
I hope this helps!

"are you sure you want to remove existing photos.."?

I just had to get a new hard drive (for my 2/12 year old Imac!)   Did the time machine backup, all seems good. Now trying to sync photos from Imac to the Ipad.   I'm getting this message:
"Are you sure you want to remove existing photos and sync photos from this computer? Photos synced to "xyz" from other photo libraries or folders will be removed and photos will be synced from this computer. Photos taken with "xyz" Ipad will not be affected"    Choices are "cancel" or "remove and sync".
Does this mean that if I "remove and sync" that photos on my Ipad that say, I played around with in some photo app and are now in my camera roll,.. will be lost??   I'm confused by this message.
also, I turned off photo stream because it was driving me nuts.
Can anyone please help me?   There are about 350 photos on my Imac that I want on my Ipad..     thanks!!

An iPod can only be synced with one iPhoto library. If it has been synced with another library previously, the photos synced from that library will be removed from the iPod. Have you been switching between iPhoto libraries? You need to switch back to the iPhoto library that you want to sync with, before connecting your iPod.
The library you are using for syncing, needs to contail all photos that you want to sync to your iPod.

When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder. When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library. When I hit "apply" I got this message:
Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
(By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
Thanks for your help - Pat

I have the same problem. I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad - clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad. WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I have recently upgraded our portal to 7.3 sps10 and we are using the Ajax framework
I have a requirement to Remove the Logoff Dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I am able to Import masthead.war into NWDS and get the project ready for development with the appropriate jar and libraries.
I am able to deploy the project also. I need help finding How to turn this dialog box off and just log the user off. I was able to accomplish this in Classic frame work page HeaderiView.jsp.
I have looked at afpmasthead.org.sj and masthead.jsp. I am not a js/jsp developer.
I can see the logoff dialog box being created but I am having trouble finding the logoff code.
Please advise me on the code changes required to remove the Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?" from the Ajax framework.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Sarah

Thank you Troy for your Helpful Threads.
Problem Solution:
Followed the thread on How to download and change AFP Masthead on SAP Portal 7.3
Located the file which contains the logoff code from thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3265584
The File with the Logoff coding in it is a Javascript file afpmasthead.js
Identified logoff code without dialog box using this thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/3307601
NovaDialogBox.performLogout(); (perform logoff)
I was able to remove the Logoff dialog box Do you really want to logoff? And replace it with logging the user off.
afpmasthead.js All the code is on 1 line, To fix this go to -->Source -->Format
Comment out the following lines of code and replace with logoff code
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
NovaDialogBox.performLogout();

A newer version of app "5-0 Radio" exists in your iTunes library. Are you sure you want to replace it with the one you are moving?

When I connect my iPad or iPod to my compuer running iTunes I get the following message for most of the apps. "A newer version of app "5-0 Radio" exists in your iTunes library. Are you sure you want to replace it with the one you are moving?"
How can I fix this?
Many thanks

When I Tick Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps and press sync it says are you sure you want to remove apps. Help please

Hi, I recently put music on my ipad (manually, I do not sync because I dont like leaving music in my itunes) I realised they take up a lot of space because of the bit rate so I went into iTunes and pressed "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" Then I pressed apply and I got the message "Are you sure you want to remover 113 apps......." I have checked and sync Apps is unticked so my question is why does it say this and is there a way around it. Also if i tick convert to AAC will it convert the songs already on my ipad or just ones I add from now on.

Why not? That's what it is for.
So Restoring your iPad when it crashes and losing all your music is acceptable to you?

Since you now want to sync the iPad and have told it you do not want to sync apps, it will remove them all.
Check the apps you want on the iPad.
Also if i tick convert to AAC will it convert the songs already on my ipad or just ones I add from now on.
It will only convert new songs added to the iPad.

It sounds like you need a new battery. Does it show any charge left when you unplug AC?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)? To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Audiobooks there. To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE: if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list. Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list. You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

Hi ...
I followed your instructions, went back a page but no warning on Safari. Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

"Are you sure you want to leave this page?" on saving Publishing Page

Hi all,
we're getting some ... interesting ... behavior in IE.
Setup:
We have a page layout based on some content type. Both contain (besides other fields) a DateTimeField which is shown in edit mode.
When a user clicks "Save" after editing the page, he is presented a modal dialog saying "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" with the options to "stay" or "leave".
When a user clicks "leave" the following behaviour is as expected (changes are saved, page is working). When a user clicks "stay" he sometimes gets prompted for conflicts.
As soon as the DateTimeField is removed from the page layout (but is kept in the content type) there are no more such pop-up dialogues.
This happens only in IE 9/10/11. FF and Chrome work fine.
Do you have any suggestions, on how to fix this? Not the conflicts part, but the fact that this dialogue box is shown at all.
- Ben

I already tried seeting IE (Security) Settings back to deafault and disabling add-ons. It did not help.
The site is accessed via https and is in the Trusted Sites list in IE.

Hi SomeTallGuy,
According to your description, my understanding is that the model dialog appears after you click Save.
My suggestion as below:
1. Set the Internet Explorer Security Setting to low.
2. If you have add your site to trusted sites, try to delete all the browser data, such as cookie, temporary files to test whether it works.

HELP!!! Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) How do I get this to stop?

I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank You

This was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books.....No!
