How to sync music back on to iphone 4 from iTunes library after restore

Troubleshooting (this may or may not work with other Apple devices)
Step 1: Select the music you want to sync to your iphone.
You may find some are missing (flagged). When you try to play it will let you try to locate it and hopefully it should still be on your pc. Luckily for those no longer on pc I had backups on USB drive which I pasted back into iTunes media folder. Always best to keep iTunes library music in the iTunes media folder.
Step 2: Click on your device and select the summary page.
Step 3: Scroll down to options page and make sure that the only thing ticked in the options box is 'syn only ticked music and videos'.
Step 4: Whilst still on your device, select the music page and tick sync music and entire library.
Step 5: Then click sync at the bottom of the page.
All music selected and not missing (location could not found) from your iTunes library should be synced to your iphone.

Um, "slide"?
Have you tried going to this tab (see image)?
Then choose to "Sync Music" and then "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres."
Then remember to click the "Sync" button at the bottom right.

The iphone is not storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Hi .. How can I get my photos on iphone, who went missing after restore.

If they were in your camera roll when you lasted backed up your phone, restoring the backup should recover them.

Good Afternoon irish357,
I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
I have attached a link below for your reference.

I hope this information is helpful in resolving your concerns.

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up pictures

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

I want my music back on my iPhone which was deleted after I signed up for iTunes match. Was never told this would happen--it was said that one COULD delete the music, not that apple would. I use it in my car.

How do I get my music back on my iPhone 5s after signing up for match? No one said it would deleted from my ios device. That was an option for space. I have the large iphone and I use it in my car.

Blue
It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers

Warning! Songs were removed from iTunes Library after installing new iTunes and iPad/iPod Sync

I purchased the iPad 2 yesterday, updated my itunes software, and itunes messages indicated that it would not allow certain songs to be included in my library any longer since these were not purchased from iTunes. Many of the songs were from CDs that I stored on this library for several years. Only after I upgraded iTunes with this new iPad was my music removed. Luckily I still have my music on my iPod, but my iTunes library on my laptop contains only the music I have purchased from iTunes with the last 18 months. Weirdly, except for one particular song that iTunes said was not purchased from them, but it was part of an entire album purchase from iTunes. Also, all of the movies I purchased from iTunes were also removed. I am not able to sync any movies onto my iPad.
I restored the iPad a second time, reinstalled the itunes and have the same result. All of my older archived music is gone from the iTunes library.
Warning, if you want your music, back it up before installing the latest iTunes particularly if you have the new iPad 2.

Hmm, it is only very recently (about 6 months ago I think) that the policy on Music changed. Prior to that you would be routinely reminded to back up all purchases (immediately after the successfully completed download), unless of course you ticked an option not to be reminded again. The change in policy (in our favour) would have been noted in the small print that neither you or I read when upgrading iTunes, though we say that we have.
Again I'm still not certain if audiobooks are excluded from both "Music" and "Books". One would hope that they belonged to one category or the other in respect of redownloading. In the past, in the event of an absolute disaster, fatal hard-drive crash, fire etc. some users have been able to prevail upon the charity of the iTunes store staff who would occasionaly grant a second, but never a third, download of past purchases.
The restictions on different types of media are ultimately imposed by the rights holders, not Apple. It is in Apple's interests to offer the same terms as their competitors, so my guess is that nobody currently offers unlimited repeat downloads of movies. Certainly the unique codes you get on some DVDs/Blu-Rays are one-time only.
Backup all (or at least the non-replaceable parts) of your library with this User Tip.

HOW DO I CREATE A 30GB SHUFFLE PLAYLIST FROM ITUNES LIBRARY TO FILL MY IPOD

is it possible to generate a playlist lets call it, that is like a shuffle playlist but able to fill an ipod? where would i find the command like, " fill ipod randomly from itunes library"? wouldn't it be great !! just hook up the pod and have it filled with random songs from your library. every day you could have a new playlist, but a really big and different one.
g4 power mac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just create a new Smart playlist.
Limit it to 27.5GB at Random.
Also, set it to My rating is not One Star.
Rate songs you do not want on the iPod to One star.
Connect the iPod & select it as the Source.
Go to the Music tab and set to Sync only this playlist.
To change the music, select this playlist in iTunes.
Select all songs and press Delete. It will fill up again at random.

How can I get my music back onto my iPhone from the the cloud

I have a new primary PC. My music Library is on an old dying laptop. I have found all my music has disappeared from my phone. Some is on the cloud, but it appears to only be the music purchased on iTunes, only about 1/3 of my collection. Now I find all the songs on my iPhone are ONLY iTunes songs and I have to download them each time I want to play them. Since I'm in a regional area with poor coverage, having to download my own songs every time through cellular is ridiculous! How can I copy my entire collection back onto my iPhone? And then where's the rest of my collection? Will I have to rip all my cd's again? If so NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Have also lost all my ringtones which were a Podcast that WAS purchased through iTunes - now gone.

I did this last night, and copied all the music from old laptop onto new one. But there was still a lot of stuff missing, mainly from my own CDs that I'd ripped. Also I'm still getting the icon on my iPhone that the music is on the iCloud. This doesn't suit me because it will cost me a fortune to download each song by cellular when I'm out driving. I need all my stuff on my iphone. Do you know how I can get it to download everything i need apart from clicking on every album and selecting "download" from cloud one at a time?

HT201303 how to downloading videos music applications in my iphone from itune ?

how to downloading videos music applications from itune to my iphone

How did you get it onto the phone in the first place? You had to have synced it from a computer if it wasn't purchased from the iTunes store. You should still have it in your iTunes library...
Other than for items purchased from the iTunes store, media sync is one way, computer to iPhone. There is no supported method of getting other music off of the phone to a computer. If you google, you may find some useful utilities that will help.
If the media resides on a different computer and you're changing the one you are going to sync with, just back up the iTunes library and transfer it to the new computer.

How do i unsync my iphone from itunes library and sync it to a different one without wiping my phone

I bought an iphone 5c and synced it to a windows 7 thinkpad laptop. I backed it up on this device and transferred music off there to my iphone. I recently had an acer aspire e15 laptop and downloaded itunes so i could now do everything i did on my old laptop on to this one, but it isn't letting me unless i sync my phone and wipe its memory. Although i can restore my phone it doesn't restore the music. So is there a way to unsync from one itunes library to another without wiping my data, or is there a way to transfer the music off my phone to my new itunes library so when i restore my phone its easy to restore the music i had on it previously.

The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.

Two separate iPhones syncing and backing up to one centralized iTunes library?

Hi all,
My wife and I have two iPhone 5s' and am wondering if we can sync and back these two separte iPhones to one iTunes library? The library is located on a NAS drive on a share just labeled Music.
Ideally I would like to keep the two backups and syncs separately but have the ability to load playlists and albums from the centralized iTunes and iPhoto library.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

This article covers what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
As long as the phones have different names you can set different sync settings for them in iTunes. However, if they have the same Apple ID for iCloud any iCloud content (mail, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders) will be duplicated. The way to deal with this is to have different iCloud accounts on each device, but use the same Apple ID for the iTunes & App Stores. This way you can share music and apps.

How to get music back on a computer from an Ipod
