Are you sure you want to sync?
when I try to sync music or shows to my 80GB video ipod- it advises that everything is going to be erased & replaced. why is this? (that all existing content will be removed) why does itunes want to remove all of my music?
This can happen if the iPod is linked to another iTunes library; you can use these instructions to transfer music from multiple libraries to an iPod other than the iPod shuffle.

when i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?
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. -
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. I really don't want to loose my 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! -
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 - PatI 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

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. -
I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks
I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.
Here is a picture of what I get -
"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 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?

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) Chr15hZesty.Zooma wrote:
But will I be able to keep the data stored in the applications, photos, books and also the sorting and the folder arrangements the same way they were, after erasing all the data and synchornizing with the new library?
That is the aim of the process set out here: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Message "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now"
I am in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro. I get repeated message upon start-up "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Restarting does not stop the message. Nor does canceling it. It keeps occuring, blocking my ability to do applications. Because it comes to the front all the time, and the "shutdown" button is lit, if I inadvertently hit a return key while typing something else, the computer shuts down. I have a western digital backup disk-dismounting that has no effect. I have also run the disk utility permissions repair a few times to no avail.
Thanks for any advice.
Nov 26, 2013This might happen if your power button is malfunctioning. Remember a slight tap of the power button will bring up that screen. Bring it in for service if it is readily reproducible.

"Are you sure you want to shut down your computer?" prompt pops up for no reason and continues to pop up after selecting Cancel. How can I stop this?
Mac Pro. OS 10.6.8Then I suggest you read this thread regarding the 30" Apple Cinema Display and that particular message pop up... several possible causes... common denominator, the display.

I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window
Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time. -
My safari is blocked. When I press a window comes up sasking Are you sure you want to submit this form again? and it will not allow me to cancel or submit
These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost. -

Given that the turn off javascript option will be disabled - how do I close a page that does not allow me to leave by giving a "are you sure you want to leave" pop up question but then redirects to itself where it again asks that question perpetually?
The only way to kill a page like that sofar was to disable javascript and then close the tab.
Now I will have to close the browser - and possibly loose all the tabs I have open.
I want a javascript quick switch - allowing me to easily disable javascript for any page at will.
(esp for some of my older, slower netbooks)
Or at least a "FORCE CLOSE" option for malicious webpages.Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.'' -

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine: "Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on?" I've reformatted in Disk Utilities...not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure what you mean by "booted" from it.
If the Mac OS is installed on the external drive, then it's possible to start up from it, just as you do from your internal drive. Please open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and verify that your internal drive is selected as the startup disk.
Assuming that's the case, then it may be that your TM settings have been corrupted. Turn off TM, then move or delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. Turn TM back on, recreate your settings, and try again.
