Can't sync tunes from windows to my iPhone, can't even drag and drop.  Very frustrating!  Any ideas?

I can't sync my music or ringtones from my iTunes account to my iPhone.  I can't even drag and drop songs! Won't let me update apps, without purchasing them again!  Very frustrating!  Help!

I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

  • 90% of pictures disappeared after new program. Time machine folders mostly empty. Downloaded my Carbonite file. Can I restore directly from this file or do I have to drag and drop 20,000 pix?

    90% of pictures disappeared after adding Maverick. My Time Machine folders were in the right order but mostly empty so useless for restore. Repair and rebuild attempts were not effective. Downloaded my Carbonite file which is now sitting on my desktop. Is there any way to use the restore command to rebuild my portfolio or do I have to drag & drop approx 20,000 pictures? Can album groupings and faces be retained?

    Do you still have the original library that was present at the time you upgraded to Mavericks?  If so apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT204150 how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    I just went to icloud-contacts- OFF.  It asks if I want to keep my contacts on the phone and I said yes.
    Thanks so much.  Saved me a ton of time.
    One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person.  That is gone now on my phone but on my computer.  Is that only in iCloud?

    Connected to a Dell 1525 laptop via usb cable

    Unplug the printer, and uninstall it. Then download the Windows 7 CP1215 plug and play driver package from www.hp.com. Install the printer using that package.

  • How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

    hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
    i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
    r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
    function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

    i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
    a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
    this motion tween covers the whole time line (  there is only 50 frames in the time line)
    i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
    and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
    every thing till now working well
    i want to make that MC dragabble
    so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
    and when i drop it i will use play()
    but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
    his motion tween movement when i drop it
    for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
    in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
    but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
    here is the example wich i am worikng on

  • Can't drag and drop to iTunes any more.

    I can't drag and drop to iTunes any more, like I have done for years.  Files are correct for iTunes.  HD's have plenty of space.  What's wrong???

    I logged in here for the first time in 4 years just to say THANK YOU!  This problem happened after my update to iTunes 12.01.  So puzzling!  Your fix worked.
    Much obliged.

  • Can you sync music from windows windows media

    I synced music from windows media player onto my ipod nano. Windows media says it's all downloded but none of the songs show up on my ipod. Why is that? Can you not sync music from windows media player even though windows media player lets you?

    Hi,
    You probably have your nano's disk-use enabled. This enables you to use your iPod as an external disk. Windows Media Player does sync music, but it only transfer it to the iPod as normal data file you put into it, which iPod Nano will not show the songs in the player, but if you access the iPod from My Computer, you might able to see the files.
    Meanwhile, iPod only read and understands files that synced into it by using iTunes. The songs are renamed and put into the iPod filesystem hiddenly. If the above information contains errors, please correct me.
    Regards,
    Siau.

  • Can't sync music from Windows PC to iPad Retina

    I've a newly purchased iPad Retina. Unfortunately I can't sync music from my Windows PC to iPad. I tried with the best practice, muisc appears with a cloud circle at the left most column in the device shown in the iTune. I'm puzzled as I'm an user of iPod and have never faced such problem earlier.

    The cloud symbol means your music is in the cloud-not on the PC.

  • How do I stop finder from opening a new window every time I download an image (drag and drop)?

    Before I updated my computer I could drag and drop a new image from the internet to wherever I wanted on the desktop. Now when I download a new image from the internet it opens the "Desktop" finder windo. Also it systematically downloads the new image to be placed underneath the last downloaded/organized file. How do I stop it from doing both of these things?

    Try relaunching the Finder > Relaunch Finder… from the Mac OS X Finder

  • How can I attach an additional action to the "reset" button in the drag and drop interaction?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to attach an additional behavior to the "reset" button in my drag and drop exercise.
    Here is the background:
    In my drag and drop exercise, when the user drops the source on a target of his choice, certain elements appear and certain elements disappear
    This means that depending on where he dropped the sources, certain elements will be visible and certain elements invisible when he is finished the activity
    Because the sources are not re-draggable once he drops them, he will have the option to reset the exercise and start again from the beginning using the reset button
    My challenge:
    I would like exercise to return to its original state when the user selects the rest button .  this means:
    the dragged objects return to their orginal starting location (this is what naturally occurs when you hit the reset button)
    any objects that had disappeared during the course of the activity reappear
    objects that were not visible in the beginning , but had appeared during the course of the activity, again become invisible
    So how can I add this action to the reset button?

    Allowing the user to redrag the souce after it has been dropped would work for my particular problem  if I could bind an action to the event redragging, namely making the elements reappear that had disappeared and the elements disappear that had appeared when the user dropped it the first time.

  • Why can't Mac users, who have multiple devices, have device icons for drag and drop, on desktop rather than iCloud, iTunes, etc. ?

    I want drag and drop in the form of icons on my iMac, from all my other Apple devices. I don't want to have to go through iCloud, iTunes and DropBox.

    What are you other apple devices?
    For an all Mac OS X set, you could write an applescript to perform the task.

  • Itunes wont sync part of album? Wont even drag and drop?

    So i had this album on my iphone 4 (ios6) and when i recently plugged my phone in it synced and when i looked at this particular album only 2 of the original 13 songs were on there now. I've tried deleting all the music and resyncing, deauthorizing and reauthorizing computer, checking itunes for updates, and dragging and dropping individual songs. Nothing will work unless i sync ONLY that album and i dont only want one album on my phone obviously and I have plenty of space. Any idea whats up? Thanks

    Unfortunately Firefox Home only receives information and doesn't upload anything. That said, if you still have the Recovery key you can save your data if that's in our servers: [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
