Birthdays disappeared from iCal. New iTunes?

I installed the new iTunes today and my birthdays disappeared from my MacPro iCal, but still show in my iPad and iPhone4.
In iCal I found Prefs > General > Show Birthdays Calendar which I never had checked before, so I checked to troubleshoot and the birthdays appeared but instead of having the usual little red icon to the left of the birthday text as before and still in Calendar on my iPhone and iPad, there is a lime green background under each birthday in iCal only.
Also there is now "Subscriptions" in the left iCal column after checking Show Birthday Calendar which I never saw before.
So I don't seem to have a problem, just wondering if iTunes changed these things above?
Steven

Thanks Madison. I definitely will change the color
For some reason I was getting the red gift icon in iCal until I downloaded this last lastest version of iTunes, then I got the green backgrounds.
Perhaps it was a bug or something related to the fact that I had birthdays in two places. Some via Addressbook and some created as independent events within iCal?
The gift icons only showed up for the birthdays created from Address book and imported into iCal. It was that way from the first time I added a birthday in Address book. I know it was in this way on my computer as the Addressbook birthdays had the icon and the iCal birthday events had a blue background because I set them as all day since there wasn't a time associated with any of them.
I also had the same icons in my iPad and iPhone, again just for the Addressbook entries.
But now that I've deleted all the iCal birthday events and have all birthdays input into the Addressbook Birthday field, all birthdays are being read and imported into iCal and Calendar so no gift icons show any more in my computer's iCal, but they continue to show in Calendar on my iPhone and iPad.
Thx again,
Steven

I can't find the duplicates tab that i always found useful, it seems to have disappeared from the new iTunes, does anybody know what to do next?

Where has the find duplicates function gone in the new iTunes? It use to be in a drop down task bar menu in the old versions but i can't find it in the latest.
Also while i am in iTunes mode, when i open iTunes i get a message
I have checked the Firewall pane of Security & Privacy preferences and the light is green as in allow, yet the message keeps coming up every time i open iTunes, any idea on how to get rid?
All useful information greatly appreciated.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Events Syncing, Then Disappearing from iCal

I first noticed a strange thing, in that an event I'd put in several days ago had disappeared from iCal but still appeared in MobileMe and on the iPad, even after running a manual sync.
While thinking about that, I entered a new event on a different calendar but in that same weekly view. It was entered normally, all seemed fine. A few minutes later I once again was looking at the iPad, saw the new event had already appeared there and then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something on the iMac screen blink. When I looked, that event had now disappeared from iCal! Again, it still existed in MobileMe as it should have done.
Two perhaps significant facts:
The two which disappeared were the last two events I had entered, and
all prior events seem to be still present everywhere as they should be.
As for testing in real time while writing this, this is what has happened so far:
Entered a test event into iCal, failed to sync to anywhere are all despite auto & manual tries. It has failed to show up elsewhere in all the following testing.
Tried a second test event, on a different day, and it did sync normally.
In addition, one of the two originally missing events now popped back into view on iCal, momentarily blinking off and then back on on iPad.
Several subsequent test events all quickly synced through as they should, but the first test event has never appeared elsewhere and the second of the original events to disappear from ical remains missing.
Beyond " .... ain't working right ...", I don't have a clue. Hopefully it's just a momentary hiccup, but I thought I'd pop this out in case anyone else was seeing anything similar.

Hi Michael,
Initially I suggest you quit iCal and delete the calendar cache.
Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu.
Open the Library folder. (If you are using OS X Lion, you will need to hold the Option key while clicking the Go menu in order to access the Library folder.)
Open the Calendars folder.
In the Finder, delete the Calendar Cache files, including any that also display a -1 (or -2, -3, and so forth) directly after their filename.
Open iCal and wait for the calendars to be rebuilt.
Let us know how this goes.
Best wishes

ICal won't take data. Data disappeared from iCal

iCal won't take data. All events disappeared from iCal. Help!

I have the same issue. Recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now have the problem.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

Music disappearing from iPhone after iTunes Wifi Sync

I have an iPhone 4S and a Mac Mini (2010). On four or five occasions since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6, after a wi-fi sync, all or almost all of my music has disappeared from my phone (sometimes the most recent podcasts remain).
Simply syncing again (over wi-fi or USB) doesn't fix it. To fix it, I need to uncheck "Sync Music" and "Sync Podcasts" on the Mac, sync, recheck them, and sync again. Then it works for a while.
Additional context: like others, I've been experiencing other issues with wi-fi sync since installing iOS 6. In general, I can't initiate a sync from the phone, either manually or by plugging it in. I can sync from the Mac, but sometimes the Mac becomes unable to find the iPhone on the network. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on again seems to fix this and allow the Mac to initiate a sync.
Shortly after installing iOS 6, I restored the iPhone and set it up as a new phone, hoping that would fix the sync connectivity problems (it didn't). More recently, I restored from backup. Didn't help.
Is anyone else experiencing the disappearance of the music? Any suggestions? Is it likely to be an iPhone problem or a Mac problem?
Thanks
Ben

The exact same problem has been happening on my iPhone as well. Very irritating. Drives me mad.
Although unfortunately I don't have a solution, I would like to ask you something. When you were setting up your iPhone, did you choose to restore from iCloud so that your iTunes purchased musics would fly into your decive?
The reason I'm asking this is that in my opinion, a conflict happens when making a Wi-Fi sync about deciding music storage so that an erase happens by itself. And it's probably a corner case so that it doesn't happen every time.
Also, as a side note, all the countless times I Wi-Fi synced my iPad, which was not iCloud restored, nothing like this never ever happened.

Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
Thnaks in advanced.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

Downloading Songs from a new iTunes onto an old ipod

Please help me. I'm about to go on vacation and want new songs to listen to. My old iTunes program was on my laptop, which promptly broke a couple months ago and I haven't gotten around to getting the songs out of the old iTunes to put on my new computer. My NEW iTunes has about 20 songs that I've bought on it, and I would like to download those all together without deleting the 500+ songs on my iPod. every time I try to manually upload iTunes says it "has had an error and needs to close." Please help with this!

if you have your ipod has enabled disk use you can find your address book in the finder insides the your ipod in the contracts folder and most likely called iSync.vcf. Double click it and Address Book will do the rest.
As for you purchases under file in iTunes go to "Transfer Purchases from iPod"

HT1535 I want to delete all of the music on my iPhone and reload from a new iTunes library on a new computer

I acquired a new PC . I had my iPone synched to the iTunes library on the old PC. I now want to delete all of the music off of my iPhone and reload it with the new iTunes library that I am creating on the new PC.
I tried seveal times using different synch options ... all unsuccessful.

Hey finterra,
Thanks for the question. With iOS 7 you can now delete your entire music library from your device. Simply navigate to Settings > General > Usage > Music then tap Edit, tap the minus symbol, then tap Delete.

Movies disappearing from AppleTV when iTunes not running

I have synced my iTunes content to my AppleTV several times and have found that I continue to experience jerky playback of movies (AppleTV will pause to buffer data) and that the movies totally disappear from my AppleTV menu when I shut down iTunes. I believe that the movies files have been copied to AppleTV (ie I am not streaming the files). When I restart iTunes, it appears to need to re-sync only the movies with my AppleTV (music, Podcasts, and photos remain available on AppleTV while iTunes is not running). Please advise 1. why the poor flow when movie is playing on AppleTV and 2. why does it seem to need to keep re-syncing movies to the AppleTV?

Hi Drew-Bob,
iTunes should not have to re-sync your purchased movies if they transferred over correctly,
You might want to try restarting the Apple TV, or restoring it. Information on how to perform this is in knowledge base article 305190 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305190).
Cheers,
John

Why can't I move songs from my old iPod to my new iTunes acct and why can't i move new songs from my new iTunes acct to my old iPod?? Help please!

I forgot my user name and password to my old iTunes account. Apple was unable to assist me in recovering the old account so I opened a new iTunes account. I connected my old iPod to my new iTunes account but cannot move music from the iPod to the new iTunes account, and vice versa... if anyone can help me - I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Was all of the music that is on your older iPod purchased with that older content or is some of it also other content imported originally from outside of iTunes? You won't be able to purchased content from the older account to your new iTunes library unless you can remember/regain access to that older account.
For other content, you can transfer it using one of the many suggestions mentioned in this older post by another forum member Zevoneer.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
As to not being able to sync any new content to your iPod, it's likely because you are trying to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library. iPods were designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. So your iPod does not recognize this new library as the one it was originally set up with. In order to associate the iPod with the new library, you need to restore it to factory settings in iTunes by clicking the Restore button from under the iPod's Summary tab.
Of course you won't want to do this until you have successfully moved all the older content off it into your new library.

How to i import music from the new itunes to the iphone5

i recently upgraded my iphone4 to iphone5, i used iclloud to back up everything but my music, all my music is on itunes (the new itunes - i had to download the new itunes because of the phone) i have tired several times to sync my phone to import my music onto this new iphone but its not working.
i have authorised the computer
i tried to import my music with itunes match - this didnt work
i have switched itumes match off
i tried to sync automatically - this didnt work
i also tried to manually import my music and this didnt work either
i dont know what else i can do... can anybody help?

iTunes will transfer the purchases made from the iTunes Store from your iPhone to your computer. It treats all other music syncing as a one-way street, to comply with copyright laws (wont sync stuff not purchased on iTunes from your iPhone to your computer).
But, you can import the other songs from a computer backup or rip them from a CD again. Then sync them to the new iPhone.

Why has march 2013 disappeared from ical on ipad

Why has March 2013 disappeared from my ipad?

I also had to remove all entries for April 1st . I just hope you havn't any friends on Facebook that have a birthday on that day. I think I may have just upset someone by de-friending them on Facebook, to remove the event from the calendar. There was no other way to remove it. Lets hope they fix it soon.
