"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.

  • Are you sure you want to remove existing photos and sync photos from this computer?

    I have a 64Gb iPad running the current version of ios7 on which I store around 15,000+ photos. Every time I add a few new photos to iPhoto and then try to sync the iPad through iTunes (current version) I get the message in the title. It takes about 6 hours every time I want to sync my photos because it erases and re-loads all 15,000+ onto the iPad. Also when I sync my iPad the process fills up the Home>Pictures>iPhoto>(show package contents)> iPod backup file with about 80+ Gb of backup files so I can never fully sync my iPad in one go as the process fills up the 70 or so Gb of free space on my hard drive. Every time I sync I have to stop halfway through delete the file and sync the rest. Why can't my iPad just sync the new photos? Please help. Note: this is not a new iPad, this is not a new mac. It used to work fine befor why not now?

  • 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.'

    Thanks (i hope) Chr15h

  • 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

  • Recently I am getting a message when I try to sync photos to my iPad from my PC in iTunes suggesting that photos already on the iPad will be removed if I sync.  I don't want to remove existing photos.  Any ideas?I

    I am trying to copy photos from a recent vacation to my iPad2.  The process was straightforward using iTunes until recently. Now I am getting a message warning me that if I sync photos from the folder on my PC to iTunes and my iPad, photos already on the iPad (except ones taken by the iPad) will be removed.  I am running iOS 8.0.2 and the most recent iTunes update. I do not want to remove all the other photos from my iPad, so I cancel the sync.  I have tried copying the photos using the Apple SD card connector, but it does not recognize my SD card (it does recognize an SDHC card, but I am unable to copy the photos to that card).  Is anyone else gettinga message like what I describe above when trying to sync photos to an iPad2 in iTunes?

    It is really a very simple fix. Place ALL of the photos that you want to sync to the iPad into one photos folder and sync that folder to the iPad. In your case, place the next set of photos that you want to sync, into the folder with the first set of photos that you already synced to the iPad. You can only sync from one main photos folder and if you choose another folder that does not include the photos that you previously synced, those photos will be erased from the iPad - as you have now discovered.
    You can sync one level of sub folders with the main photos folder. You can have as many sub folders as you want (as long as you have the storage space available on the iPad) but you can only sync from one main photos folder. After you place all of the photos into the one main folder, when you go to the Sync Photos From drop down menu in iTunes, select that main photos folder and all of the sub folders that you placed in there will appear and you can select each sub folder to sync as well.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?
    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.
    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.

  • Keep getting the message "An error occurred with the publication of album - Do you want to remove the album from your library?" don't know why

    I don't know why I keep getting the following messge for a recent album I created in iphoto:
    "An error occurred with the publication of album (name of album).  Do you want to remove the album from your library?" In smaller letters under that message, is "The feed could not be found or is invalid."  There are 2 buttons to click - either "Remove Album" or "Keep Album".  Never had this issue before, did not do anything different this time. 
    Mac OS X v. 10.6.8
    iphoto 09 v. 8.1.2 (424)

    Is this an album you're publishing as a MMe Gallery?  If so delete the album and gallery,  create a new album and  gallery and try publishing again.

  • When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly.  Do you want to remove this short cut?  The program has opened and worked fi

    When trying to open lightroom I get a message that says, "The lightroom.exe that the short cut refers to has been changed or moved, so the short cut will no longer work properly.  Do you want to remove this short cut?  The program has opened and worked fine in the past.

    You have (probably accidentally) moved or deleted the Lightroom program. You need to find it (have your operating system search for lightroom.exe) and move it back to where the shortcut expects it to be.

    Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
    But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out

  • How are you supposed to play a photo cd on a macbook pro?

    how are you supposed to play a photo cd on a macbook pro? when i put it in my drive, it says something like disk type not supported when i open up the dvd player. please tell me if theres some kind of software i have to download..please and thank you

    when you insert the disk it should be in the side bar of finder. double clickt he disk and you should have some sort of file in it. I'm not sure what softwware was used to create the slideshow but if it's a movie you'll have to figure out what type of media it is. I think VLC media player will be your best bet to play this CD/dvd though.
