Game level deleted when syncing with new library?

I created a new library in itunes. I logged on with my apple ID. Game apps i paid for where downloaded to itunes. When i now sync my ipad with the new library, will the levels in the games still be on my ipad, or will they be deleted?

Thanks for the tip. However, the document does not contain the answer to my question. That document says that the music library is completely deleted and then new library is uploaded from the computer. I guess that the same will happen to movies and TV-shows. The questions is, if this will happen to apps also in a way that all the settings and saves will be lost. I would not want to try this without knowing what will happen, because losing all my saves would be annoying, even though there is nothing really important.

Iphone sync with new library

I orginally synced and starting using my iphone4 with one laptop. Now I want to change and always sync and manage my iphone from a new laptop. Right now I want to update the iOS, but before I can do that, I need to get all my apps from the iphone to my new laptop itunes library. How? When I try to sync with new library which has no apps, I get a message that my iphone apps will be lost.
How can I move forward??
thx.

All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer for this and several other reasons. All apps on your iPhone would be in your iTunes library if Sync Apps had been selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. With this selected, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This also provides for downloading an app with iTunes on your computer and installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, and for removing an app from your iPhone without deleting the app by deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. This also provides for transferring your entire iTunes library from one computer to another per the link provided.
First you need to authorize your new laptop with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
After confirming all 3rd party apps on your iPhone were transferred to your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab and make sure all apps below are selected. Select Apply.

IPhone & iPad sync with new library

Okay, so I just received a brand new MacBook Pro. Sweet. I hooked my phone up to sync it. I got a message saying your phone is synced with another library, can't be synced with more than one library, etc. So I emailed iTunes, explained my situation, they said you can manually sync it from the iphone page in iTunes. I clicked the little check box, but the same message come up. I emailed them back, they said it was weird, and try apple discussions. So here is the problem. I have all my music on my new MacBook Pro, but my apps never transferred over from my old computer to my new one. If I delete all the content on my iPhone, then I lose all my apps. Same thing goes for my iPad. What can I do?

You don't have to move everything from the old computer, just the files inside the iTunes folder (iTunes Library or iTunes Music Library and the .xml version, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Music, Mobile Applications, ipod Games, etc...)
If you didn't use Migration Assistant to move your data from the old computer to the new one, you may have to right click on each of the files and folder and choose "Get Info" and change the permissions to "Everyone" can "Read and Write" before you copy them to the new computer.
If 100% of your music and movie files and apps are already on the iPod, and you can't copy everything from the old Mac to new one, then you could try this:
(1) In the new Mac make sure you are logged into the iTunes store and the computer is "Authorized" under the menu "Store > Authorize This Computer"
(2) Use "File > Transfer Purchases from iPod" to get you purchased content,
(3) You may need to find a free app online called "Senuti" to transfer non-purchased music like rips from CD's, but I don't know if this will import non-purchased movies. (Senuti is iTunes spelled backwards)
(4) Then use "File > Library > Import Playlists and only import just the old "iTunes Library.xml file from the old computer into the new one. (if you want all your old playlists)
In my case I would need a 900Gb - 1Tb iPod to fit my entire library on one device, but it sounds like your library was small.

Syncing with new library?

Hello.
To improve the performance of my computer, I recently reinstalled my Windows 7. I had backed up all my iTunes data to an external hard drive, so they were easy to recover from there. However, now when I want to sync my iPad with iTunes, it says that the iPad is synced with some different library and it can only be synced with one library. I only get an option to erase all the data from the iPad first and then put all the data from my library back there. The data is exactly the same, but I'm worried that I will lose the settings and saves I have made in my apps in iPad. Is this going to happen if I will sync the apps? Or will my settings and saves still be there after the syncing?
Thanks for the answers.

How to retain chat/iMessage history when syncing with new computer?

For years, I have synced each new iPhone that I’ve purchased with an older MacPro.
Recently, I bought a new iMac to replace the MacPro.
I chose not to use Migration Assistant and have not transferred any of the data from the older MacPro to the newer iMac, primarily because I wanted to completely ignore all the AAC and mp3/mp4 (lossy) music files from the old computer and replace that music on the new iMac with Apple Lossless Encoded files ripped from my CD collection.
Meanwhile, I bought the new iPhone 6. I have never synced this new phone with the new iMac. Instead, I set it up using a backup of my iPhone 5S that was on the older MacPro (or possibly in iCoud—can’t remember). I did this because I want to preserve older texts/iMessages on my iPhone. It’s my impression that that data ‘lives’ in the backups of our phones, so syncing it with a brand new computer would erase it, right?
The problem is, I don't want to use the music files/playlists on the older MacPro. I want to load my iPhone 6 with the newer music files and playlists found in the iTunes folder on my new iMac while still retaining the text/iMessage history from previous backups. Is this possible? If so, how do I make this happen?
I do not use iTunes Match and want nothing to do with it, so that is not an acceptable solution for me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

When syncing with a new computer, technically, all information on your iPhone 6 will be erased. If you really want to keep the chat history/imessage, call history or even contacts, I suggest you backup your iPhone 6 to iCloud before the sync. After sync your iPhone 6 with your new computer, you can try Dr.Fone for iOS to extract chat history/iMessages, even contacts and notes from the iCloud backup file and save them to your iPhone 6 again.

How can I keep a playlist on phone when syncing with new computer?

When syncing my IPhone I am prompted with an ominous message that says "Are you sure you want to remove the existing music ... from this phone and sync with this ITunes library? Music .... will be removed and items will be synced from this ITunes library" The answer is no because I have a playlist I would like to keep on the phone, but add one which resides on the computer I am attempting to sync with. That is not an choice presented, the choices are Cancel or Remove and Sync. Apple should either give more options or at least a better explanation. I have synced this phone and computer combination before but have since created a new playlist in the computer (a Mac Mini).
So how can I keep a playlist on the phone and add one from the computer too? Is it possible to view the phone as a drive and move items around in that manner? I use ITunes on both Windows and Mac platforms but this issue has always been problem for me. I also have IPhone 3 (used as an IPod), IPhone 4S and Iphone 5.

Unless you can get the iPod backup file (and restore the iPod from that file on your new computer) from the "dead" computer you will lose all the app data you can export via email.
- Yu can trabsfer iTnes purchases from the iPod by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-itunes purchased music to the new computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion.
Best iPod to PC
- After you move the stuff to the new computer, either restore the iPod from the backup, or if no backup, restore to factory defaults,new iPod and sync.

ITunes wants to erase my 3GS to sync with "new" library (which is not new!)

I have a 3GS, have always used it with ONE iTunes library, on the same computer. My husband recently added a new hard drive to my computer (ThinkPad laptop running Windows Vista) and I moved my iTunes library to the new drive. Now when I plug in my iPhone and try to sync my music, it says I've connected to a new library and would I like to erase the phone and sync with this new library. I have been burned in the past with iPhone problems (updated to iOS 5 last year and lost a ton of un-backed-up pictures of my newborn. So yeah...a little gun shy with this stuff), I have iTunes set to not auto sync when I plug in my phone. I am able to back up my phone, but if I want to add music, it appears I'm going to have to erase everything and start over? I guess that's my question. Do I have to just re-do the whole thing?

It is now a new library. You can't just "move" your library.... (it is possible, but it's a little more complicated than just moving it).

Previous photo's deleted when syncing a new folder.

Trying to sync photos with Itunes (windows 7)into separate albums, but when syncing a group or folder it deletes the previous album or photos. I can't see anything in Itunes to change to avoid this. Apple is not making "Photo" PC friendly.
Any ideas???

I have a 16GB 3G iPad. I sync it to an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.6.3.
I have a desktop folder that I use for syncing photos with the iPad. Recently I modified some of the photos in the desktop folder and when I try to sync, I get a dialog saying: “The iPad is synced with another photo library or folder. Do you want to sync with your photo library and replace all existing photos on this iPad with those from your photo library?”
When I open the iPad Photos pane in iTunes, the “Sync Photos from:...” check box shows only iPhoto and when I check the box, a dialog pops up saying, “Are you sure you want to sync photos? All existing photos and albums on iPad will be replaced with photos and albums from the current photo library.” I don’t WANT to sync to an iPhoto library, I want to sync to the photo folder on my iMac’s desktop. I am not given the opportunity to pull down the menu beside the “Sync Photos from:...” menu.
Help, please?

Apps purchased on iPad are being deleted when syncing with iTunes

Hi,
I am having a problem with the apps that I purchase using my iPad not syncing with iTunes. I have purchased several apps and books. When I use my iPad to make the purchase and then plug the device into my computer to allow it to sync, iTunes goes through the process of backing up the iPad and then transfering purchases over. When it gets to the step for syncing tracks it goes and removes all of the apps that it just said it was transfering the purchases over for. Nothing I do seems to work to fix this issue so that the apps aren't removed when I sync. So far the only ones that stay on my computer and device are the apps that I used my computer to buy and then are synced onto my iPad. Please let me know what to do about this as I have lost several apps.
Thanks
Josef

I am not sure what the problem could be.
You may want to try disabling auto-sync, make some purchases on your iPad, and then transfering the purchases and see if they show up in your iTunes library and the checkbox for the apps are checked for syncing to your iPad. If they are then you can try syncing and see if that deletes them from your iTunes library.
The link for instructions on transfering your purchase is as follows:

Will iTunes-bought music be deleted when syncing with a computer?

Let's say I buy a few songs on my iPad. Will they be deleted when I sync with iTunes on my computer?

They should not be, they should be synced to the computer.
Before syncing , click File>Transfer Purchases if you want to be sure.

Restored Iphone App always deleted when synced with iTunes

I inadverantly deleted the iPhone App, 1Password. Although I am able to re-install it by either a new download from the Apple Store or by a full iTunes Restore, the app keeps getting purged from my iPhone everytime I sync with iTunes. How do I correct this?

Check your list of applications in iTunes. If it isn't there go to the App store and download it again. Connect your iPhone and before syncing starts select the iPhone in the sidebar to the left and then select the applications tab across the top. Find 1Password in the list and make sure it has a checkmark.

IPad calendar problems when syncing with new operating system

I downloaded iOS snow leopard to my computer and then when I performed a sync with my IPAD the calendar got messed up with several old appointments and things cluttering it up. Is there a way to revert back to what I had before I performed the sync?

Hi Techno bozo!
You should see if you have a backup of your device in iTunes. If you do, you can restore from that backup and get the correct information as it was at that time back onto your iPad. This article can help explain a little about restoring from a backup:

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Older iPod doesn't show podcasts when syncing with new iTunes

Although I have had my older iPod for approximately 7 years, I have never had any problems with it until this latest iTunes update. Since the update, I my podcasts are not showing up on the iPod. When I click on "sync" it completes almost immediately (in the past it has taken time for my weekly podcasts to transfer). I think this might have something to do with the new podcast app organization that is used with my iPhone and newer devices that utilizes aps. However, I use my iPod for my daily commute, and if I can't find my podasts to listen to, I am going to be VERY disappointed in Apple's latest change. I am hoping that there is an answer to this problem, but am afraid my old iPod may be be in the process of becoming outdated...
Yes, I did scroll through my albums and artists to see if I could find the podcasts, but without success (unless I am just looking in the wrong place).
Help!! Has anyone else experienced and/or resolved this issue?
Thanks!

Hi Arryla
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Take a look at the following link. It should tell you how to do what you want.

Podcast photo thumbnail image deletes when syncing with computer

Subject line says it all.
Download a podcast via wifi direct to phone, no problems. Podcast image (logo, host photo) visible on phone.
Download podcast to iTunes, image visible on computer in iTunes, sync phone with itunes/computer, image does not get to phone and any existing images on the phone go away - Podcast audio makes it to the phone, but the image associated with the podcast, all gone - Just an empty black box where the image should be.
How to fix?
Keeps me from syncing my phone with my computer.

I would assume that your restore should have done everything a Reset would, nevertheless, try the Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! You have nothing to lose in more ways than one!
