Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

It is not an option in my iTunes to "Choose Store Update iTunes Match.

I wish to add some new tunes I have ripped from original cd's and it is not an option in my iTunes after I choose " store " to " Update Match "

Do you have iTunes match turned on? You don't need to select update match when you add new tracks. Match will after a short time automatically update.

"Run Diagnostics" not an option in the iTunes Help menu

I'm running into several issurs with my iTunes, but I need to start at the top I guess. When researching how to fix my other issues, I read to run diagnostics in iTunes, but that is not an option in the Help pull down menu. I've attached a picture of what I see. Thank you for any assistance.
I am running iTunes 11.0.2

I believe that "Run diagnostics" is only available on iTunes for Windows.

I plugged my iphone into my laptop and the option to sync does not come up on my itunes or phone

I tried everything from restarting my phone, my laptop, unistalling itunes and reinstalling it and still do not know wy I can not sync my phone. The option never comes up when i plug in my phone. I literally did all I could HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HELP SYNC is Not working properly, very frustrated

I have a first gen I pod touch.
I just uninstalled Itunes 10.5.2.11 and installed 10.5.3.3
Untill just 3 days ago, everything worked fine.
Then I tried to create a play list for some videos and found out I could not do so.
Then I found out some of my play list files were not being transfered and some were.
So here is the problem
I have several play lists.
Bellemy
Workout
are just 2 of them. Bellemy is not syncing one of the 2 songs in that folder unless I check it. If I leave it unchecked, it will not appear in my play list in intunes after I sync my I pod.
The workout one, will only transfer all the songs, if I leave the ones the IPod has on it, unchecked in itunes.
This is really starting to get to me. Every time I have to do a software upgrade to this thing, or to the computer, something always goes wrong..
and I have no idea how to get my play lists to sync properly to my ipod touch.
Any help apprecated.

Hey Suresh1118,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes Authorization when syncing your iPhone. The following articles provide the most relevant troubleshooting:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

No Back Ups when Syncing and "Back Up" options VANISHED from iTunes menu!

iTunes 8.2.1
iPhone 3GS 3.0.1
My iphone used to back up every single time it synced. Now, not only won't it do so, but right clicking on the iphone icon in the itunes contextual menu no longer even shows "back up" as an option.
Deleted the backups in the preferences window (there were two) as a post somewhere else online suggested this would "force" a backup during the next sync, but it still won't back up.
Before deleting the backups there was a "restore from back up" option in the menu, now there is no mention of back ups whatsoever.
About a week or so ago, during a sync I manually quit a backup since i was in a rush (just adding a few apps) and I've read that is always an option if you need a speedy sync. Since my iphone was often synced a dozen plus times a day, I didn't think anything of missing one backup.
Not sure if that's what caused the behavior but I'm guessing it started around that time since the most recent dated backup I saw before deleting them was from over a week ago.
Have rebooted and tried hard reset. Have restarted iTunes and my computer. Still no back up.
Have also tried connecting and disconnecting with "automatically sync when this iphone is connected" both on and off, with no effect on backing up either way.
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated! I hate going without a backup altogether. Thanks!

Help: Songs Do Not Appear When Importing an itunes Library XML file

I have 2 apple IDs and 2 libraries I want to combine. I've been working on this for hours. I found detailed instructions on making sure all the right preferences are checked, locations are in public folders, and so on. There are no error messages when I import the file but no songs appear/download. I also cannot get files into windows media player using any of the directions I've found online. I have windows 8.1
On a side note, I, like everyone else grew up with computers so most basic problems I've always been able to troubleshoot. Windows 8.1 and Itunes software is so unecessarily complicated and hard to work with. If this is how advanced software is going to work, I have a new found appreciation for my Grandma because I don't understand it at all. How about we go back to folders with artist names instead of giant XML files. How about we drag and drop. I'm so ****** off at this point. I just don't understand how this is going to be fixed and my 1000s I've spent on music is all down the toilet beause of ****** programs and no customer service.

Two things contribute to this.
One is that some songs might be tagged as Part Of A Compilation (see the Get Info on those songs/albums) in which case they will not show up under the artist.
Second, is that an artist needs at least two different Albums identified for their songs to all list under the artist. In other words, if you import a CD with album name then add a handful of misc songs without album names associated, those handful will not show up under the artist name.
But add an album name to at least one of those handful of misc. songs and then ALL of the songs should show up under the artist.
You don't have to do it for all of them, just enough to have two different albums identified with the artist. But in general, it is a good idea to make sure your tunes have Song name, artist name, and album name associated with them as a minimum.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

Help..can not sync address book on macbook with iphone

not sure, but the iphone will not sync with the address book on my macbook, what am i doing wrong?
help
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have never synchronized your Address Book before, you must first configure your computer to do so.
• launch iSync [that's right: iSync]
• open the Preferences… dialog
• check the Enable Syncing on this computer option
• launch the Address Book
• open the Preferences… dialog
• check the Synchronize my contacts with other computers using .Mac option
To synchronize events, you'll need to configure iCal in a similar manner.
