Cannot sync new music or movies to iphone or ipda since 7.03 update
Cannot sync new music or movies to ipad mini since updating to 7.04
Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go. Make sure you're logged in with the same Apple ID & password.

Hi, I know this question has been asked a lot but for some reason I could not get a clear understanding of what everyone was talking about and my situation might be a tad different.
So I already had an iPhone that was synced to my dell PC. I just got a new macbook pro retina and now I'm trying to transfer my contacts, movies, and music to my mac from my iPhone. However I keep getting a message that says if I sync to this mac then all of my stuff will be deleted from my iPhone. (I am now aware that they mean only iTunes content, but those are still important to me). I still own my PC but there is no way I can connect my PC and Mac together. Is there a way possible that I could "unsync" my iPhone to my PC and sync it to the Mac without erasing the stuff from my iPhone? Are there other methods of syncing my iPhone to my new mac? My last question is that is it possible to transfer purchases from my mac to my iPhone even if it is or isn't synced to the PC or erased of content?
Hopefully this sounds coherent, and thank you all in advance for your help. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate your time.It is designed so syncing is one way only (with the exception of iTunes Store purchases) computer to phone. You need to transfer the library from the old computer to the new one so the phone is syncing back to the same library it used to or else it will request you erase the phone.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
You can use flash drive for copying, breaking it down into chunks if necessary but making sure they get re-assembled correctly again.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

I don't understand this at all, I just synced an album of songs onto my ipod touch but then when I went to sync a m4v file of a Tv show, it will not sync. Itunes keeps freezing. I don't even get a "sync in progress" message.
Try resetting the iPod...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restart your iPod. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Now try the App or iTunes Store.

Cannot sync new playlist to iphone with icloud
cannot sync new playlist to iphone from PC as it tells me new playlist not in icloud. how do I get new playlist into the cloud?
Hey dr. c bruce,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the music on your device did not originate from this library, is the iPhone 5 currently synced with another iTunes Library? iPhones can only be synced with one library:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201593
iPhone can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
Thanks,

I am a new iPod shuffle 4th Generation user and I cannot sync the music in my Windows Media play to my new iPod, can someone help?
Hi Daisymae3,
The iPod shuffle does not use Windows Media Player to sync, it uses Apple’s iTunes application, available for free from this web site -
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
See also the manual for your iPod shuffle -
User Manual iPod shuffle
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide .pdf
Specifically Chapter 3 - Setting up the iPod shuffle.
iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content
on iPod shuffle.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

i manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?
If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup. -
I have a iPhone 5 but cannot sync my music to it from my iTunes on my lap top.it shows as doing it and the amount of memory it has used but when I check my phone no music is shown. The same with previous purchased music . It shows it as downloading but when it is finished no sign on the music ....any ideas .. I have a ipad and mini and it synced to this ok
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

I have upgraded to an iPhone 5 and I just cannot sync my music onto the phone. It synced with my iPad no problem (which I got after the iPhone 5) but it WILL not sync with the iPhone? I bought iTunes Match to see if that was why and that is just even more of a nightmare without constant wifi...Please help!?!?
Thanks for your suggestions Amy_lou, I have tried everything. Eventually it synced, I got in my car, plugged it in and it would not play. I switched the phone off and back on and low and behold, there was no longer any music on the phone (by which time I was cursing apple and ready to throw it out the window). A friend (a i guru) has had a go, looked up some stuff but no luck. I think it will have to be taken in to an istore. Really not happy with the iPhone 5.
Thanks again for your suggestions. Carys. -
Unable to sync new music to iphone 5; existing songs are becoming unplayable
Ever since I downloaded iOS 7.0.3 I have been unable to sync new music to my iPhone 5. Now some existing songs in my music library on my phone have become unplayable. Red circles containing red squares have appeared next to those songs. If I choose a specific album to play, it will skip through every song without playing any of them & put those red circles/squares next to every song. Those songs can no longer be played on my phone, even though they look completely normal & play just fine in iTunes on my PC. Has anyone else run into this problem?
I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple days, but on my iPod touch 5. It seemed to happen for me after I updated to iOS 7.0.2 a few weeks ago. Have you tried the solutions that other people have posted on other discussions? Nothing else seemed to work for me except a full system restore. I'm in the process of my second restore right now. iTunes shows it's downloading the apps, but my problem was with the songs, so hopefully they work after all this... When I go into my music on my iPod touch, they all have the red circles next to them. I'm not sure if they're still downloading or not. It all started with not downloading a few albums to not downloading any of my songs.
If all doesn't work, I might have to try what this guy did(check link). Though I'd rather not lose all my plays and have to start over, but I'm not even sure that's going to work. If it's caused by a bug I surely hope Apple gets their act together and fixes it soon.

If you haven't yet, check the other discussions on this topic and see if any of them work. Good luck. -
I can't sync new music onto my iPhone?
I have a black 32GB iPhone 5. I've had the phone for about 7 months and I've had no problems with it until recently. My iTunes won't sync new music onto my iPhone. I've tried switching the cable and checking and unchecking music, but it doesn't work. When I tried to uncheck all the music and sync it, the music stayed on my phone. Tracks that I've deleted stay on my phone, and new tracks won't sync to my phone. I recently downloaded an album from iTunes, and the songs on the album appeared on my phone through iCloud. However, new songs that I haven't purchased through iTunes won't sync. How can I fix this problem?
What happens when you try? We're not psychic...

I cannot sync new playlist to iphone
I cannot sync new playlist to my iphone
Hello Smithfiledhokie,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
Is the cloud you are seeing on your phone one of these icons?
Cloud with an arrow pointing down
The song is stored in iCloud and available to be downloaded to your computer.
Cloud with a diagonal slash
The song isn’t eligible to be uploaded to your iCloud library. For example, the song file might be larger than 200 MB, or encoded at 96 Kbps or less.
Two clouds with a diagonal slash
Your iTunes library contains duplicate versions of this song, and only the other version was uploaded to your iCloud library.
Cloud with dotted outline
The song is being matched, but the process hasn’t been completed yet.

My Ipod will not sync new music
ThiS problem has been going on for about a month, ever since i added another Ipod to my playlist/ computer. I can not sync new music on either Ipods that i have i have uninstalled and reinstalled and turned off my Ipod and everything and nothing has worked. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sounds like you previously synced to a different computer. Yo can only synce to one computer/iTunes Libray but you can manage music among different computer. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
If you want to permanently change syncing computers best would be to move the backup file from your old computer and move it to the new computer and then restore your iPod from that backup. For the location of the backup file see:
iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
If you do not have the backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
