Downloads to iPhone gone after sync with iTunes 9 and shared libraries

I have songs that I downloaded directly to my iPhone 3g-s. After the first time I synched the iPhone to my laptop after installing iTunes 9 and sharing songs with my desktop, songs have disappeared from my iPhone. When I search the song, the title is there but when I click the song, it says to purchase the song from iTunes. The songs are on neither of the 2 computers sharing songs. However, only some of the songs that I had downloaded directly to the iPhone from iTunes have disappeared.

I read another post here and the solution is simple: goto file and select 'Transfer Purchases from iPod". It works perfectly!

  • My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at the backup phase

    My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at backing up phase. I tried to update my ios(mine is 7.1.2) and it states that the iphone update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Likewise when I try to update my iTunes through the help column(check for updates), it also says the same thing as when I try to update my ios on iTunes. Please help!

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!

    After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!
    I searched for some solutions on the internet and applied following fixes:
    1- Disconnected iphone from PC and closed itunes.
    2- Reset the iphone by holding down the On/Off button.
    3- Connected iphone back to PC to sync with itunes.
    Apparently this fixed the problem, and iphone synced with itunes.

    same here, but now you can't downgrade to iOS 7.x, since apple has closed the verification server for that version.

  • Lost 3GB of memory after Syncing with itunes, unable to locate/delete them?

    This morning, I did the regular syncing with Itunes, and suddenly I noticed that my Free memory had suddenly dropped from 9.7 to 6.7 Gb
    I also noticed while syncing that my iphone is syncing song titles that already exist on my iphone and itunes again for some reason.
    after syncing,my free Memory dropped from 9.7 GB to 6.7GB and my OTHER memory went up from 1.36 to 4.36 for some reason.while Music, photos and APP memory stayed the same.
    keep in mind the new added 3 GB are exactly the same total memory of my music.
    I usually have a total of 14.28 GB out of 16 GB 3GS
    music: 3GB
    photos 146.9MB
    APP:876MB
    Others 1.36 GB

    Music: 3 GB
    APP:876MB
    photos 146.9 MB
    Others 4.36 GB
    Free 6.7 GB
    I checked to see if I have duplicates titles of my music in my ipod, and everything was the same.no duplictaes
    I am unable to locate the additional 3GB I have under Others in my memory.
    Is there a way to break down the memory Status Other in order to see what are the new 3 GB added to my phone?
    HOw can I free my phone from the new 3Gb data?
    Hoe to locate or delete the new data? any application that can break it down in order to locate the folder with the new data either in itunes or on my iphone?
    I tried resorting but I still got the new memory status since I had synced my iphone several times trying to resolve the issue.
    any help on this issue is highly appreciated
    Regards

    Page 204 of the manual:
    "If you restore, the latest version of iPhone software is reinstalled, settings are restored
    to their defaults, and data stored on iPhone is deleted, including downloaded
    applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other
    data. If you’ve backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you can restore data
    from the backup at the end of the restore process. "

  • Music files missing after sync with iTunes

    All of my devices are updated to the last version.
    I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
    Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
    It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
    Zen style APPLE !!

    It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
    try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • MDCrashReportTool crashes every time iPhone 3G is synced with iTunes

    Every time I plug in my iPhone 3G to sync with iTunes, MDCrashReportTool unexpectedly quits.
    I've reported it a bunch of times, but I think things run a bit smoother if I just relaunch it. Is anyone else getting this? Has anyone gotten rid of this problem?

    Restoring the iPhone seems to have fixed the problem. In response to SMRS: I think that we should all qualify for the title of "newly restored" since the new OS/firmware has only been out for a week. Installing the new system was effectively a "restore" because it wiped the phone and re-wrote it from backup to begin with. I agree, though, that we shouldn't have to be restoring our phones a week after we upgrade the system. That's just nonsense.
    In any case, give the restore a try and let it load the backups; I'm curious to see if it solves the problem for you like it did for the rest of us.

  • Outlook 2007 calendar events font changes after syncing with iTunes

    I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows XP PC. I have no problems syncing Outlook calendar events with my iPhone 4 other than for one highly annoying detail. My default font in Outlook is set to Times New Roman 12 pt. Whenever I sync, all of my calendar events' text in Outlook is changed from Times New Roman 12 pt. to Calibri 11 pt., and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 pt.
    It's driving me nuts as I find Calibri to be hideous-looking. In addition to the font change, all other special formatting such as bold and italics are removed.
    Has anyone experienced this before or know what's going on? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Has no one experienced this issue? I can't understand why this happening. It's been almost two months since I posted this.
    To reiterate: After syncing with iTunes (the newest version), all custom text formatting in Outlook 2007 calendar events are changed to Calibri 11 point, and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 point. My default font is set to Times New Roman 12 point.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
