There is no selective restore from backup so set it up as a new one and then sync your music.

    Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab.  This article should be able to assist you with this.

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

  • How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old computer?

    How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
    Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
    Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
    I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
    Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
    Need help?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can I sync the music on my iphone to a new itunes on a new computer without losing everything?

    Just recently I got a new laptop which means a fresh, new itunes. The old computer had all my songs but it's a really slow old computer so i can no longer sync my iphone to it anymore. so i was wondering how could i sync the music i have on my iphone to my new itunes on my laptop? the only option i've seen is syncing the 3 sample songs i have on my itunes to my iphone but then i would lose all my other songs. help.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • HT4623 how can i sync my music from my apple pc to my iPhone 4s

    how can i sync my music from my apple pc to my iphone 4s

    Syncing with iTunes
    Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
    sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
    Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For information
    about syncing iPhone with your computer, open iTunes, then choose iTunes Help from the
    Help menu.
    Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on the computer,
    select your iPhone (under Devices), click Summary, then turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection.”
    When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs every day. iPhone must be connected to a power
    source, iPhone and your computer must both be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must
    be open on your computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 136.
    Tips for syncing with iTunes
    • If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them
    to your device using iTunes.
    • Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPhone are synced back to your
    iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on
    your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.
    • In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync when your device is
    attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and
    Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.
    • In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the
    information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are
    indicated by a lock icon  , and a separate password is required to restore the backup. If you
    don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in
    the backup and will have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore the device.
    • In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from
    your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t affect the
    account on your computer.
    • In the device’s Info pane, click Advanced to select options to let you replace the information on
    iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.
    • If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, the place you left off is included if you sync
    the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPhone, you can pick up where you left off
    using iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
    • In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

  • How do i sync the music library on my iPhone 5s to my macbook air

    how do i sync the music library on my iPhone 5s to my macbook air. The original sync was on a work computer i no longer have. Please help!

    You will have to search on the Internet for third party software that will allow you to do that.  For business reasons, Apple has made the update process a one way street: ie: from the computer to the iPod/iPhone only.
    Ciao.

  • Someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"

    someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"

    You must be trying to sync it with a different computer than the one it used last. No, there is no other way to do this.
    The iPhone may be synced to one and only one computer at any given time. If you choose to sync it to another, you can do that as often as you wish, but its content is erased first.

  • How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?

    I sync various Aperture photo albums to my IPad and iPhone. The problem is that when I have 'stacked' images (eg. one image showing in the album and two other copies 'hidden' underneath), all of the photos in the stack are copied to the ipad and iPhone. So instead of seeing just one version of an image, I see as many as are in the stack. How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
    Thanks for your help!

    I solved my own problem.
    The sync problem seemed to only occur on smart albums. There is a new check box option in Aperture 3 when making a smart album: "sync stack pick only." One click and the problem is solved!

    iTunes sync is one way from your computer to your iOS device.
    You will need a third party software such as TouchCopy to do that.

  • How do I sync only 40 of my 500 photos in iPhoto to my iPhone?

    Question: How do I sync only 40 of my 500 photos in iPhoto to my iPhone?
    This is what I did:
    1-Created a "New Album" in iPhoto
    2-Named it "iPhone"
    3-Dragged in the 40 photos (of the 500 photos in my iPhoto library) into the "New Album" named iPhone
    4-Synced.
    Result: Now when I go to the "Photo" widget on my iPhone I see:
    "Camera Roll" "iPhoto (40)" and "iPhone (40)"
    Why is it showing that I have the same 40 photos in under "iPhoto" and "IPhone"?
    Shouldn't it say only "Camera Roll" and iPhone (40)"? Thanks!

    You only have 40 photos on the phone, and there are not 40 duplicates.
    What you're seeing is not unlike iTunes, where you have Library, and under it, playlists. Think of the album "iPhone" as a playlist, and "iPhoto" as the Library.
    If you added another album called "iPhone2" and synched again, you would see "iPhoto", "iPhone", and "iPhone2". "iPhoto" would show all the photos from both "iPhone" and "iPhone2".
    Make sense?
