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. HELP!

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!

  • Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

    Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

    Oh ok. As far as music, no i have not synced music because it would load so much. I don't have movies or tv. I have never loaded ringtones before. So i am guessing they are connected to music. My apps do sync. So the best thing is to not sync and just drop them on my devices icon???
    oh, if I check sync music the button for entire music library is selected how do I get Selected playlist, artists, ect. selected. Right now everthing is grayed out.

  • I got note saying "Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing songs, movies, and TV shows on the ipod will be removed"  what is wrong?

    I can't get my manual i got in itunes to come up in ibooks on my ipod touch (4th Generation). I can't find any answer to what is happening here. I do have music in the ipod and don't want to lose it. I hope someone can help me with this.
    I can see the manual in iTunes with my device selected and looking in Books. They are shown in grey, ( 2 manuals i have downloaded). " All Books" is selected under Sync Books. Sync Books is not selected because this is where the note above pops up if I check mark this.

  • I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop.  Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer.  How I can fix this?

    Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
    It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

    What if I do not want to use IMAP or Exchange?  I do not like being forced to use technology I do not trust.
    No, it is not a bug. It is working as designed. And there is noting in the manual that staes you can create folders for a POP account.
    You do know that any email sent through a POP account stays on the provider's server (often for years) even if you delete it from your inboxes, right? Completely beyond your control. Refusing to use an IMAP service doesn't protect you from anything.

  • My internal hard drive isn't being recognized on my macbook pro but when I put the HD in my Mac Pro (desktop), the desktop computer recognizes the HD.  When I insert the installer CD on my laptop, it also doesn't recognize my hard drive. Please help!

    I've also been getting an image with the folder and question mark. I've tried everything on the apple support page but it doesn't seem to work either.

    Well, I tried all of your suggestions and they didn't work -- no surprise because I was trying to backup to my external c.d. disk.  Duh!  The application for the home is in the mail.

  • I've updated all my software and iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I went to open iTunes it tells me it's either corrupted or not installed correctly and to reinstall it. Is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling the whole program?

  • HT1338 I am trying to download java onto my macbook pro, but for some reason this function isn't recognizing the internet.  The error message insists that I am not connected but I am.  I have tried this through both safari and firefox

    Sorry I didn't realize the above was just a subject line.
    I have been trying to download java for my macbook pro, but for some reason the function is not recognizing the internet.  I am on and have checked several times .... I have checked through both safari and firefox but to no avail.  Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Not really a reply just some added info:
    This is the error message I get saying the internet is not on, but clearly as I can send this message it has to be:
    To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.
    I am connected through Wi-fi if that makes a difference.

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.

  • HT4436 i have a problem with my Macbook Pro. When i tried to open it, something appeared : "enter your system lock PIN code to unlock this Mac". What should i do?

    i have a problem with my Macbook Pro. When i tried to open it, something appeared : "enter your system lock PIN code to unlock this Mac". What should i do?

    Question is did you lock your Mac from Find my iPhone using iCloud or is the Macbook really yours?
    If you have in fact locked your Mac using Find my iPhone on iCloud then you will need to enter the PIN you have set when you locked the Mac.
    *If you have not iniate the remote Lock then someone else has used your Apple ID and Password to lock your mac.

    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
    Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
    You can restore from backup
    If not in backup then:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

    Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them.  I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
    Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
    a) Impossible
    b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
    c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine
    d) purchase an external USB drive and plug it directly to the apple tv 3
    e) purchase a NAS drive and configure the apple tv 3 to use it
    f) [your answer here]

    Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
    I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
    ... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
    i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
    so ... can you help me (once again) ..
    you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
    "You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
    You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
    OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
    how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
    i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
    once again Obrigado (Thank You)

  • TS3276 Web through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights.

    Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.
