How do I get my music to sync after the iS5O update?

I can't synce my music back on my iPhone after the new update (iS5O)

Always back up your computer before installing updates. You may need to rebuild it with a pre-update library file. Details really depend upon exactly what you lost.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

How do I get my music playlists back after the new update?

After the new iTunes Update this week, the update deleted my personalized music playlists, went back to the default playlists, and all the albums I deleted doubles of songs are all back since the new update! Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to go back through and reorganize my entire library by hand again? It still shows up on correct on my iPhone, it's just on my mac that I'm having the issue.
P.s. iTunes comment: I don't like how if an album has multiple artists on different songs, iTunes separates the album's songs and shows them separated in the Albums list. I have an album to listen to the ALBUM, not separated by artists. Is there a setting or something to change that?

How to I get missing music files back after itunes 11 update?

The following error i appears " The song “ -------------- ” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". It appears on about 40% of my tracks. No problem before the update.

You should always make a bootable backup BEFORE you do major updates.
If things go wrong you can always revert to what you had previously.
You can do this with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I use CCC for a long time, and I'm very satisfied about it, I can recommend it)
It used to be donation ware, but now you need to pay a small fee. Not a big price for always knowing you're safely backed up.
If you don't have a bootable clone from before the update, and would like to revert to 10.7, check this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4560565
seems to work.
didn't need it myself since I waited to update, I always check this forums first to find out what are the issues/bugs. When there seems to be none or little problems, I update. I've learned my lesson long time ago. Patience is a good thing...
So, always backup. More important than your changing underwear daily. Time machine isn't enough. Make two bootable clones. One at your place and one at a different location (theft, fire, ...), you can always revert from there.

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

I cant seem to get my music to sync to the iphone 5 help?

I found this response to the problem in the MacRumors forum:
"Syncing of music via iCloud (iTunes Match) precludes syncing of music via iTunes. This is not a bug, you simply must decide whether to use iTunes OR iTunes Match but not both, to sync music on your phone. To stop syncing music via iCloud and use iTunes to configure what is synced, on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match and turn that OFF. Then go back to iTunes on your computer, then Devices / [Phone name], select Music from the top menu, configure your sync settings, and click Sync.
"Alternatively, if you wish to use iCloud/iTunes Match to sync but only via Wi-Fi, then on your phone go to Settings / Music / iTunes Match, make sure it's on, and change its subsetting "Use Cellular Data" to OFF. However, this may prevent you from listening to your music via phone when you are away from a Wi-Fi network."
I unchecked the iTunes Match on the iPhone and the music synced fine.

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons.<br />
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
You can open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.<br />
Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes log in and pass so we created a new one. My question is how to i get that music that is on the shuffle on the computer?

I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes login and pass so we created a new one. My question is how do we transfer that music that is on the shuffle to the computer? It will not let me do anything... The music titles are all dulled out, the only thing i can do is listen to them but I cannot do anything else.
Please help thanks!

You do not. Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
Sign out of the computer with the new Apple ID. STOP using the new Apple ID.
Sign in with the original Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

How do I get my music to sync with iTunes?

I couldn't find this answer, Basically, I added 2xSSD's in my Windows PC and reinstalled iTunes. I had certain songs on my ipod touch (about 900) and I have about 3000 in my iTunes that are all checked now after the reinstall of iTunes. I never created a list, but rather just chose music along the way and sync'd them that way. How can I get just the Music on my iPod touch to sync with itunes in a way that I don't have to uncheck all the songs in iTunes? Or do I have to start all over again?

Try to Maually Add/Delete songs from your iPod.

I just decommissioned my windows pc for a mac power book. How can I get my ipad to sync with the new computer without erasing all the apps and data on the ipad?

I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro. When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer. How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?

Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005.
