How do I undo an iPhone iTunes sync? Most of my apps were deleted!
I am migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. I restored my iTunes Music and Video library, now I'm trying to setup iPhone and iPad sync'ing.
When I tried to sync music to my iPhone, iTunes gave me an error saying this phone is associated with another iTunes Library. This is
referreing to my old XP library.
When I did a "sync" of my music, most of my apps were deleted. How do I restore these? How do I tell iTunes that I want that the
"other" iTunes library (under XP) is gone. Do I need to restore some other files/directories to get devices to sync without deleting
stuff?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am VERY frustrated right now!
Thanks,
Gary
You should have put all of your apps on the new computer.
Whatever is not on the new computer will not be on your iphone.
If you failed to put your apps on your new computer, then you will have to redownlaod them.

As already described I started a WiFi Sync with iTunes. In about 3 seconds all apps were deleted. So all apps that were installed. Some apps waited for download. They are still on...
Now how can I backup to before the sync. The newest datas are in iCloud, maybe that will help! Otherwise I would also try to get it from iTunes. How is that possible?
I really hope someone can help me!I would check and see if the apps are still in iTunes on your computer and sync with the computer again. Just because we now have WiFi sync at our disposal does not mean that you can't sync with the computer again.
If you have a backup on your computer, you can restore from the backup first and sync any apps that are still missing. I think you can only restore from iCloud if you restore your iPad to factory settings using iTunes on the computer anyway. I see no way to restore from iCloud simply by using the device itself. I'm pretty sure that is how you must do it. Perhaps you have to erase all content and settings on the device and then restore with iCloud and I assume that would work as well. I see no setting in iCloud on the iPad that lets you restore from the backup, so you still have to restore to factory settings some way.
So while we are free from the computer in some ways, IMHO - it still handy to be reliant on your computer. I may be missing something - but after watching a couple of videos about restoring from the cloud, that is the way I think it works. -

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?
Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync? -

Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)
Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

Some how my bookmarks on my iphone got synced to my pc and i dont want that how can i reverse it
Some how my bookmarks on my iphone got synced to my pc and i dont like that how can i reverse the sync or take them off my comp
It cannot be reversed once initiated. However, if you also checked the "Notify me when found" option, if it comes online in order for it to erase, you may get notified of its location first.

If you have been regularly syncing/backing up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you may try restoring it from the last backup.

I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted. I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work. Help!
Try ReSynching to iTunes. If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC. That should bring them back. You can then turn on sync to cloud again.
You may, however, want to re-think that. There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues. Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
Good Luck. -
The other day I was writing an essay while listening to my iTunes. Then all of a sudden, the power of my house went out. When we finally got power back, and I was able to open up itunes, over 700 songs of mine were deleted. When I looked in the trash, I saw two things labled "iTunes library extras", and "iTunes library genius". When I tried opening them, it said that I needed to open them with an application, and that I needed to chose one. I chose iTunes. When I tried double clicking on "iTunes library extras" after this, all it did was open up iTunes. Nothing else. Someone please help me because I had a lot of songs that I liked, and recently downloaded. And it will be a pain to get them all back if no one can help me.
Are the files still physically on your HD?
[User]/Music/iTunes/Media/Music is the default location. Unless you suddenly have a bunch of new "free space" on your hard drive, they're still where they were, you just need to create a new library file. -
Recently when I connect my iphone 4 to my Mac for normal synchronising i found after a few minutes all my purchased apps were deleted and gone ? I have no problem to retrieve them back but that is exhausting and I am feeling sick ? what is the problem ? please help me and thank you
Make sure Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and that all the apps are checked that you want on your phone. Also be sure that your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your apps (and other media) in Store>Authorize this Computer.

I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on, all my apps were deleted. I tried to reinstall my apps, but it wouldn't let me. My storage still remained the same even though, all my apps were deleted. How can I get my apps back?
Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.
