Hard drive was replaced - no longer able to sync iphone with iTunes
Could use some help. My hard drive crashed & needed to be replaced. I did not back up my hard drive so ...
I am recreating everything again. My iTunes will not sync with my iPhone and when I try it tells me that it will basically wipe my iPhone clean of all contacts, songs, etc.
Any recommendations ?
Thanks -
Launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer
If the content is saved on the iPhone > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hard drive crashed... How to sync Iphone with New Drive?
My hard drive crashed on my Macbook, I installed a new drive... How to I sync my Iphone without loosing applications, photos, pix,movies and contacts?
You should have a back-up of important info/music/pix/etc on an external source fro this very reason.
The iphone is not a storage device.
Assuming you don't back-up your info:
I think you can re-download Apps from the same itunes account.
Itunes purchased music can be transferred with iphone attached - in itunes click File>Transfer Purchases.
Pix can be e-mailed to yourself one at a time. The photos are optimized for viewing on iphone and will be of much lower quality than the original.
If you enter at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, before syncing, you will get the option to merge.
The pic and music sync is one-way, computer to iphone.
Unless you can find a 3rd party app that you can trust, the rest is lost.
This would be a good time to begin backing up your important info. -
No longer able to sync Iphone with computer?
I recently bought a new Macbook Pro, and now itunes doesn't allow me to sync the music I have on my phone onto m computer. When I try to sync, iTunes wants to transfer things from computer to phone, instad of phone to computer. I never had this problem with older versions of iTunes on my old Macbook.
This is correct. As has been the case from the very first iphone, it will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another computer will erase the current content form the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -

My hard drive was replaced last week on my macbook pro. The geek squad from Best Buy backed up all my information prior to replacing the hard drive. They reinstalled everything on the new hard drive including iTunes. When I opened I tunes, i had some but not all my songs listed. All my playlists and purchases were missing. I attempted to sync my iPod so my playlist and information would be reinstalled but iTunes does not recognize the iPod to allow it to sync.
Hello Boylen33,
I was very disappointed to read about your experience when taking your phone in to the Geek Squad for service. I agree with avm5689, purchasing the Geek Squad Protection plan is a great way to protect your investment in a product that is so necessary to our everyday lives. The agent should have known exactly what steps to make the exchange an easy, and smooth process, and I sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you received instead.
I assure you every single post on the forum from our customers is of utmost importance to us, and we are always happy to help in anyway we can. As per the terms and conditions of your Geek Squad Protection plan, you should receive one battery per the life of the plan, and you can order it simply by calling our Partstore. As I mentioned previously, this is something the Geek Squad agent should have explained to you, or as the mobile specialist did, call them for you, and I'm truly sorry this wasn't handled in that manner causing you to waste a lot of time at the store. Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate the service order, and I will be documenting your experience for further training opportunities.
Once again, I am very sorry for any disappointment this has caused, and I appreciate very much you bringing this to our attention. I hope you will give us another in chance to offer you a much better experience.
Respectfully,

Hard drive was replaced, lost everything
My hard drive was replaced and I lost all of my songs in my account. Now that Im trying to sync my iPod its telling me that my iPod is already sync'd to a different account and I have to erase what's already on my iPod?? I dont even care about the few songs I lost, but I have alot of songs that were uploaded from CDs to my old account that are on my iPod now,..not erase them and only be able to upload what I originally purchased. Weird thing is, I didnt open a new account, Ive been logging into my existing accont with the same user name/password. Only difference is, now when I log on,..all plalists are empty? Thoughts????

My win8 pc hard drive failed. After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used). ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help! The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection. I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that. Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes? Thanks!!
This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

How to reinstall iWork '09 (part of Mac Box Set) after recalled mac hard drive was replaced?
imac 27" late 2009 OSX 10.8.2
Have spent a week trying to get iwork opened ( use Pages for my business ) - read almost every support, tried all options to no avail - earlier restore using Time Machine after affected Seagate hard drive was replaced no charge.
The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
Can any one confirm a simple ...
1)
2)
3)
4) answer
or am I better to $buy another box??
Unfortunately I find the multitude of support suggestions too beside the point - yet to sight a sound solution!Hi Kappy -
Yes, thought you had the answer .... but .... NO !!!
I purchased Pages to upgrade but no go .... alas .... message, should have guessed it? .... yes -
'Pages already installed on this computer. Choose Software update from the Apple menu to check for available updates !'
HELLO ? I have no software updates or even record of purchase.
I now realise this matter will never ever be resolved .... soooooo .... plan B -
1) I will sue APPLE for $US80k because my business is based around PAGES and has lost approx $US15k to date over 31/2 weeks - unfortunately, this loss of opportunity will quickly balloon with 2012 closing.
2) If recompense is not forthcoming by negotiation I will initiate a campaign on all Social Networks to let the world know that Apple may sell you an unreliable toxic hard drive which will cost your business a truck load of money .... they openly admit that some of their 1TB Seagate hard drive's ( probably millions ) sold in an historic space were corrupted and should be replaced free of charge. Hey, that's the worry free bit ! I employ people who need to be paid! I didn't order their belighted hard drive!!
3) Failing which I will link with another operator and retain my campaign for $repayment from APPLE.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!
iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1. -

Serial Number does not work after hard drive was replaced

You posted your question in the Final Cut Pro X forum.
You should repost it in the Final Cut Studio forum. -
My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?
Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
Best of luck. -
My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?
The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. This is my first computer so don't know anything about trouble shooting. A week before the warranty expired, I took my computer to Apple to be checked. I was told that my hard drive was bad and they replaced the hard drive. Since then, my computer runs hot most of the time and the fan is constantly coming on, which is good My computer rarely ran hot with the original hard drive. What would be causing this?
racergirl,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference with the heat?
