Bought with iPhone, sync to computer, now unretrievable

Hi,
I am located in Germany and just bought an iPhone.
Now I have the following problem:
I bought some music via the iPhone. Everything worked fine, until I syncronized the iPhone with my computer, then uploaded some more music from CD's and tried to resync everything.
I got the music from the CD's, but the recently bought titles weren't uploaded on the iPhone again.
I tried everything, including creating new lists, copying from one folder to another, aso.
Result so far: 0
Every time I try to get the titles running, I have to give my password again, but it doesn't even play the tracks anymore.
In the explorer they are shown as locked, but I have no idea how to unlock them and to get them on my iPhone again.
Does anyone have an idea / solution for this highly frustrating situation?
Thanks for any support!

"Unfortunately I am not able to play it in iTunes on the computer. Every time I try to do that it asks me for my password again, but doesn't play it even when it is entered."
Okay, this isn't a problem with the iPhone then. You can't transfer purchases until they are authorized on that computer, and for some reason you are having trouble getting the computer authorized.
Here are the normal steps to go through (and make sure you try this all) in order to solve this problem:

If this doesn't work after trying all these then you really need to post this problem in the iTunes forum -- I know it seems like an iPhone problem, but as soon as you get the authorization issue licked the songs will sync just fine.

If it is the third party apps that you are having problems with - try downloading another app - any free app will work. See if the apps will open after you try that. Or look here for help.

HT4528 i backed up my iphone to my computer. now how do i locate the info i backed up? its nowhere to be found on my computer

i backed up the contacts (i hope) from my iphone to my computer. now how do i find out where the backed up info is?? itunes has no path, there's no icon on my desktop...what now?

Contacts and other infomration in the backup file are in a special file format. You would not be able to access them with standard programs. Also, contacts are not backed up that well, you should sync them to a supported application on the computer, such as Address Book, Windows Contacts, Outlook. That gives you acess to them, or you could use iCloud or another cloud service.This support document will tell you where the backup is. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?

Contact the carrier in the UK that the phone is locked to and put in an unlock request.
This is the only thing that you can do and the carrier to which the phone is locked to are the only ones that can unlock the phone for you - nobody else can.
Contact the UK carrier.

i already bought the iphone 4s at US. now my iphone have some problem may i sent it to malaysia apple store. i at malaysia now

Sorry.
The warranty is only good in the U.S.
This is why it is good to buy an iphone from an official seller in your country.
Have you tried basics from the manual?
restart, reset, restore.

I set up an itunes account on my laptop before I bought my iphone. Now i am in a situation where i can access my itunes on my iphone and access them on my laptop but they are not in sync as the passwords are different. Can anyone help

If you are using the same Apple ID, the passwords cannot be different. Can you explain this a little better?

The Endless Battle With Iphone Syncing

I've been having nothing but problems syncing my reasonably new iPhone with my contacts. When I first got it, I immediately entered contact info into the iPhone itself.
I put in some numbers, some names, a couple pictures for my contacts. Then when I first synced the phone, I got an error message that iTunes couldn't sync the phone with my contacts because an error occurred while merging data.
Through some experimentation, I found that I could sync the iPhone to my addressbook as long as there were no pictures in the contacts. If I tried to put a picture in a contact on the computer, it just wouldn't transfer to the phone. If I tried to put a picture on the phone, I would get an error message when trying to sync to the computer.
I tried all of the regular fixes, i.e. resetting iSync, reinstalling iTunes, trashing and rebuilding AddressBook. Nothing seemed to work. Fed up, I completely reinstalled Mac OS from my restore discs. After a lot of work and trouble, I finally had my iPhone syncing contacts back and forth with my computer, including pictures. For a week.
Until last night.
For some inexplicable reason, it just stopped. I plugged in my phone to sync, went to do something, and came back to see the dreaded popup error message about not being able to merge data. So my first instinct was to use the option to replace the contacts on the phone with the ones on the computer. In a terrible turn of events, all that did was completely erase every contact on my phone. So at this point I can't even tell who's calling me or who I'm calling without looking up their number on my computer's addressbook.
As an experiment, I made a dummy contact entry on the phone with a gibberish name and synced the phone. The contacts on the phone and computer stayed the same. I deleted the contact on the phone, and again synced to the computer using the 'replace all' option. It came back. The gibberish entry came back to my phone after I deleted it. Is it saved somewhere on my computer? Is there some secret addressbook list other than the information stored in /Library/Application Support/Address Book that iTunes ACTUALLY syncs to? I'm at my wits end here. I just want a phone that will WORK without me living in fear of doing destructive restores on my computer every week.
God, if ANYONE could help me with this it would be miraculous. I haven't found any reports of problems exactly like this, but I've found some that are similar. As I said, I tried the usual remedies like resetting iSync preferences and reinstalling iTunes, but I can't get anything to work. I've restored my phone probably a dozen times and my computer half as much. This is frustrating to no end.

I too have been fighting the same issues. Sometimes synch works and sometimes it doesn't. It is an endless process - the synch function can run for hours and never complete. I have re-installed iTunes dozens of times and have spent - to date - over 32 hours on the phone with apple support - I have two product specialists looking into it. The first three phone folks basically could do nothing - one even suggested that iPhones will not synch with Outlook 2003....the product specialists have been unable to help. I have replaced t he phone thru a warranty exchange at the store - and still nothing. When it does work it's great and then I dont synch for a day or two it loses all connectivity and will not synch. I also canot ustilize exchange....it will not recognize our network and I have had some of the best IT folks in the country try to synch it to an exchange server. I have a number of friends having the same issues - Apple has really dropped the ball on this one....it's back to a Blackberry for me.

Trouble with Iphone syncing

My Iphone has trouble syncing. Its a hand-me down phone from another friend. I cannot sync my Iphone to another computer and when I try to sync with wifi, it says it is not able to sync and sync would resume when my "friends-pc" is available. The device isnt shown in the itunes sidebar either

Have you restored the iPhone once in your possession? Since it was synced on your friends computer wifi syncing will also be looking for that computer.
As for the device not showing up in iTunes try the Assistant.

Data security with iPhone sync to First Class over Rogers network

I manage about 20 iPhones over the Rogers network in Southern Ontario. We use them to sync Contact and Calendar info to our First Class email system and to collect email via an IMAP connection to First Class. I've got some users concerned about data security when they sync their calendars and contacts and about the vulnerability of their email. Most of these concerns come from former BlackBerry users who felt their data was encrypted with a BlackBerry and now isn't with the iPhone. Oh ya, I've set up the calendar and contact sync by using instructions my Apple rep gave me. Basically you set up an Exchange account and leave out the domain name and the iPhone syncs with First Class perfectly.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

The iPhone's Mail client supports SSL for the incoming and outgoing mail server, but supporting a connection using SSL depends on the email account provider. If you control this, enable connecting to the incoming and outgoing mail server via SSL and require doing so when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
I don't know what security is included when connecting to an Exchange server via ActiveSync for over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events, but since this is used by businesses, the connection should be secure.

My Calendar doesn't update with iPhone sync even though it then updates my iPad

My Calendar on my iMac doesn't update when syncing with iPhone (the most updated device on my Calender), even though it then updates after I sync my iPad? By this I mean it updates the system on my iMac because it then passes it onto my iPad. Help PLEASE??????

Might help if you stated which App this was.
In the email iTunes receipt that you receive there is a Report a Problem link with which you can communicate a problem with each purchase to Apple.

IPhone syncing, new computer old iphone.... major issues.

I recently bough a new macbook pro, i have an old iphone 2g (dont ask me why i still have this ancient beauty, i just love it). However I havent updated my iphone in over a year and need to update it.
Since this is a new computer and I do not have the other one, which I would usually use to connect to my iPhone, the new computer won't let me sync anything without deleting everything on it.
How do I sync all my stuff (or at least all my contacts to my address book) so that i can restore and update the iphone 2g for to this new computer??? thx for the time.
o and is there any good free 3rd party software that can assist in this if apple can't... and no i do not have a backup on my new mbp, so i can't just restore and use a backup.

I already have some contacts in my address book. So I tried to look for the iPhone under >import however, nothing.... So do i just press sync on my iphone on itunes? Will it give me the option as soon as i press it or just delete everything.... dont want to press something and make a mistake that will cost me all my contacts.

Movies won't play or sync with IPhone 5 or computer

I have a macbook pro 10.84--my I iPhone is 5, updated, and iTunes has been upgraded to 11.04.
My problem is this:
I have purchased movies recently that will not play or syn shoc with my iPhone 5, all I get is a black screen. They show up in my purchases, my iTunes folder, but I do not know how to erase/fix this problem on my own. Oh, and it really ***** I can't fix my movies because I can't freakin' see them, the window is too small and hard to move. Please make this bigger--I'm gonna try not to consider the alternative to fixing my computer/phone as right now (this problem has case numbers) and been going on all week and I just have one week to use my computer--then I'm going in for brain surgery. I'd appreciate any help--there is none on the phone.

YES! I'm having this issue right now as well - did you ever figure it out?
