HT1296 Having difficulty getting music from my old 4S to transfer to my new 5S. I go through a Sync process and when it gets to the last step of Sync, the blue Audio bar shrinks back to show the few albums that are already on the phone.

I've been trying to get songs from my old 4S to my new 5S. I am using a computer to accomplish this. My 5s has a few albums I purchased from iTUnes. I see all the music I want to transfer to my new phone. I go through a Sync process and it cycles through the steps but the music will not get to my new phone. I used the Manage my music configuration.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

How do I stop Genius from recommending songs and albums that are already in my iTunes music library?

With greater and greater frequency, Genius is recommending songs and albums that are already in my music library. Up to 80% of the recommendations!. I am hesitant to give these suggestions a thumbs down, as I like the songs (afterall, I own them) and don't want to give the impression that I don't like the artist, genre, etc. as I appreciate how Genius works, when it does work.
I have updated Genius and updated iTunes Match, to no avail.
This quirk -- recommending music already in my library -- used to be a rare event. Now, most of the recommendations I get are for music I already own.
How can I fix this?

To be a little bit more accurate the said book sits in my Documents on my Macbook, purchased through iTune for free in iTunes Store>Books. I can find it with Finder on my Macbook. It says it is in my Documents but it does not appear in the Documents folder in my Dock. Great! Even the iTunes Store says it is downloaded already. And why when I search for it with Finder on my Mac and click on the result does a window open up full of comoter language? I need some help.

You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

How do I transfer music from an old iphone/dated account to my new account?

I have an old iphone that has music from an old itunes account. I would like to transfer the songs to my mac which my new account is setup on. How do I do this?
Thanks!

Also keep in mind that unless the media are DRM protected (all movies, and all music prior to about 2009) once you have the files on your computer (which you should if you purchased these) then their use is pretty flexible. It is really when you start getting into re-downloading or trying to use iCloud services that multi-account services are tough. Even then you can try using Family Sharing or Home Sharing to facilitate using media from different accounts.

Restoring music from my old iPhone 5 backup to a new iPhone 6

I've just got an iPhone 6 with 64GB memory to replace my old iPhone 5 (with the same 64GB memory). I took a full backup of my iPhone 5 before buying the new 6, and both are using the same iOS 8.0.2 version. My apps are all restored just fine, whether I try a restore from iCloud or my local computer (a MacBook Pro running 10.9.5 and iTunes 11.4 (18). But my music just doesn't get put on the new phone, no matter what I try.
I have a music library of around 4000 songs taking up 19.8GB of space on my old phone. If I restore from iCloud, it only downloads songs I have bought from the iTunes music store. If I restore from my local backup on iTunes, it copies around 1000 songs before crashing (done twice so far) - and when I try and sync again it halts at 'preparing to copy items' and happily does nothing for hours on end (left it overnight last night, no discernible difference in terms of the amount of music on the phone).
I'm trying exactly the same method of restoring from my local backup that I used a few months ago after I had to get my iPhone 5 repaired by Apple. But nothing seems to be working. I can use iTunes match (which I have on my computer, but never used on my iPhone 5), but then I have to download all the songs via the internet that I could just sync a lot faster over my local wifi connection.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to restore the music on it?

Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

HT1351 How do I put old music from an old library on my iPod onto new library in new computer?

I do not want to lose my music on my older ipod. How do I upload it to my new library?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

iTunes 10 for Windows: Move items to another computer

Help: Is there a way to move all the music from my old 30GB classic ipod to my new 160GB classic?

I recently filled up my 30GB ipod classic so I got a new 160GB classic. My 30GB is synced to an old Windows PC and my new ipod is synced to a Mac. Can I move all the music on my old ipod (even if some songs aren't in my old library) to my new ipod?

You can't trasfer music between different accounts. If both computers use the same iTunes account, simply sync them to the same computer.
Music from old ipod goes to that computer, then select which tunes you want added to the new ipod and sync it.

Can apple transfer music from my old dead ipod touch to a new one?, can apple transfer music from my old dead ipod touch to a new one?

my ipod touch died and i had some music my husband made for me .. i didnt have a back up ..
im going to buy a new ipod .. and i was wondering if the can put the music i had in the old one in the new one!!!

All of your media should already be in iTunes on your computer. iPods and iPhones are not storage devices for your content.

My iPhone never had a problem syncing with my iTunes. I check all the songs I want and when I manually connect the phone to the computer via USB, i would select "sync only checked songs and videos". No music will sync now and I've tried everything?

Normally my phone would connect with my computer and replace all the songs on my phone with all the songs available in my library. Now it seems as if the songs on my phone are permanently there, and nothing from my iTunes library will sync. I tried syncing with another library on another computer and nothing would sync onto my iPhone from that one either. I feel like it's a problem with the phone, not the iTunes, but I'm not sure. Ive been trying things for the last 8 hours. Why won't my music sync to my phone??

1. Open iTunes.
2. Click the View option in the iTunes menu.
3. Select the Show Sidebar option.
Connect your phone, select it in the Sidebar...the various tabs will now show as before.

I am attempting to recover my old bookmarks (and, hopefully, history) from my old computer to transfer to my new computer.

I recovered the hard drive from my old computer and am in the process of transferring my old files from it, but I am unsure where to find the old bookmark files. It would be wonderful if you could also help me recover the history -- I was in the habit of keeping a lot of tabs open and simply restoring them whenever I restarted my computer, so a lot of data was lost when my computer crashed.

Hi,
If the backup files are intact, then you would be able to copy the required files from the backup after installing Firefox and running it at least once in the new PC.
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s Backup]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]
You have to copy and overwrite the needed files from the old profile folder into the same folder structure in the new profile. Some of the important files could be '''places.sqlite''' which holds the bookmarks and history, '''cert8.db''' which stores personal and additional certificates, '''key3.db''' + '''signons.sqlite''' which stores the saved websites usernames/passwords etc. To open the new profile folder, in Firefox, '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''' and exit Firefox.

I recently got a 5S, and when I am using the phone, my cheek seems to tap the screen, and calls other people, or mutes, or enables some of the other features that are not shutting down when I am talking to someone. Can someone help, please!

I recently got the iPhone 5S, and when I am talking, my cheek will touch the various buttons on the scene, and I am calling, going mute, or touching the keypad, and such. How can I get the phone screen to stop doing this while I am talking. I have IOS 8. Thank you. Please reply in simple terms, as I am not the best at understanding how to fix things. Thanks again.

First, try a reset to see if that clears it up:
Hold down the home button and the power button together until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears, then let go of the buttons. This will not cause any data loss and is like a reboot for your phone.

I am having difficulty deleting music from my iPad. I tried to delete 2 songs while I was playing those songs. I can't get rid of those songs. What can I do without resetting the iPad?

Last night while I was trying clean out my music library on my iPad, I attempted to delete a song while it was playing. The device allowed me to swipe from right to left, it even gave me the delete key. I hit the delete key, but the song is still there. Now, the ipad doesn't give me the swipe from right to left. The song doesn't appear to be deletable. I really don't want to reset my ipad. Is there anything that I can do to remove the song with out resetting the iPad?

Please pardon the intrusion…
