How to undo itunes sync
How do I undo an itunes sync on my iPad?
You don't. If the phone was back up before syncing, you can try restoring the phone to that back up.

I need to know how to deauthorize a computer for itunes sync but don't have any of the other computers where itunes was previously synced.
Read this. You will need to deauthorize all computers. If you don't have all 5 computers authorized, apparently this will not work. You have to reach the 5 computer limit first.

How to view iTunes sync history
I'm trying to figure out how to view the history of device syncs for itunes. I've found other websites that show file directories for Windows computers, but I haven't come across a way to view the history on a mac.
P.S.-I'm not trying to erase my history, I want to VIEW it.Well my iPod screen is cracked. However I haven't dropped it or done anything to it that would crack it. I keep it in my pocket by itself so that keys or pens can't stab it. I had my ipod syncing on my computer, and I went to practice my violin for a good 30 mins or so, then afterwards I went to get back on my computer and I looked down at my ipod. And lo and behold a crack was on there. I have a younger brother who breaks EVERYTHING. And switching my ipod with his if he broke it is something I wouldn't put past him. However I want to check to see if I'm right or not, so I need to look at the history to see if the serial number of the ipod changed recently (meaning he switched them.)

I want to be able to sync the pod so it will record any iTunes changes without having to recopy everything.
If that can be done, instructions should be in the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual or iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips

How to create and sync to 3 different peoples libraries on the same pc?
You can open iTunes while holding the Option Key and "Create new library." You can then name them accordingly. You will need to go to iTunes presences > advanced and uncheck copy files to iTunes library and afterwards drag the iTunes media folder back into the newly created iTunes library.
After all new libraries are created, and the content added to it, you will be able to open iTunes while holding the Option Key down and "Choose Library" and swap between the separate libraries.
A better way maybe to create each user their own account with their own libraries. Either way would work.
Hope that helps! -
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? -
How can I just sync the checked songs from my iTunes to my iPod?
Okay, I cannot figure out how to sync my iPod (5th gen touch) with only the checked items.
I noticed on the summary page it says, "sync only checked songs and videos" well I have that box checked.
I have all my music checked that I want on my Ipod as well. So what am I doing wrong?
No music is syncing to my iPod?What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod -
Long story short: A sequence of bad decisions on my part caused me to delete my entire iTunes library (song files, apps, itl file, everything in the music folder). Another bad decision left me without a Time Machine backup of this folder. I have a backup of my music and I can redownload audiobooks from Audible, so I'm not stressed out about my audio.
The problem is my iPhone and iPad. I've downloaded >400 apps and have over 100 on each device. How can I begin syncing them to this new, app-free library without having every app deleted (along with their organization, settings and related-documents). I use these devices heavily so this is a huge conundrum for me.
The next step would seem to be to restore my audio files to a new iTunes library, but how do I then sync my devices to that library without wiping out every app on my iDevices? I'm a pretty technical user and am willing to hand edit the ITL files if necessary. I think that i _may_ be able to find a version of the itl file that's about a year old from an ancient backup. But that still doesn't solve the whole problem.
Thank you,
SpencerI managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
Documents say
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
And my Ipad (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc) shows a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
Both are in the same network,
Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
. iTunes is open on the computer
what can i Do ???Hi Skydiver119, and tks for four interest.
I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
You indicated " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
I disconnect the wire,
and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
So, I can not sync via wi-fi
I appreciate if you can help me. -
I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.
Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan. -
Had an ipod touch and an iphone in iTunes. Spouse added their iphone and it deleted/ignored the first 2 (ipod touch and iphone). Deleted iTunes from computer, reloaded to start over. How do I "reverse" sync my iphone and ipod touch?? Do not want to lose all the info.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc. Where did it go, and how do I get it back? Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off. (Nice).
Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

My daughter logged me out of my Itunes account and maybe did some other things!! My Ipod is now not synced to the account and now no device appears in Itunes for me. How can I re-sync it again. I am not computer savvy so the simpler the answer the better. Thanks.
See if this previous discussion helps.
