HT1296 My iPad music syncs to my computer but when I connect my iPhone it doesn't sync?

My iPad music transfers to my laptop but when I connect my iPhone, none of the music is available to sync. The phone is almost empty and I have over 2000 songs on my iPad I cannot transfer across?

Ok I think i'm starting to understand the issue a bit more... So you have music on your iPad you want to transfer to iTunes on your computer so that you can put the songs on your phone?
Bear with me as i'm not exactly an official apple rep, i'm just trying to help. But, I have 2 possible solutions that I can think of.
Firstly connect the iPad and go to it on iTunes. In the "summary" tab tick "manually manage music and videos". Then go to the "music" tab and scroll down to "manually added songs" and add all of the songs from your laptop. Then try syncing and it should work fine, after asking if you'd like to transfer the music from your iPad to iTunes (i assume you do). After you have synced, go back to the summary tab and untick the "manually manage music and videos" and it should then sync as normal. Good luck!
If that doesn't work I'd take a look at this article as another option: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

I was on iTunes on my computer trying to drag a song from my iPhone 4 to my computer but when I connected my phone to the computer using a USB cable then it said that it couldn't connect to my phone because I need to get the later version of iTunes. How?

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

My main computer died where i was keeping tohusands of songs, never had a icloud account to share with all my computers I authorized for my account. I do have just about all of the music ononeofmy ipod nanos. Can I set up a cloud account and then upload all of my music from the nano? Right now it will not allow me to "push" my musicfrom thenano to one of my working computers that I have Itunes on. What can Ido?

No. An iPod Nano has no internet access.

ITunes 10.1.0.56 Distorts Computer Sounds When I Connect My iPhone 4

I have an ASUS Notebook. Attached to a USB port is an M-Audio Fast Track Pro, which I use as an external Sound Card, and which is connected to external speakers.
When I hook up my iPhone 4 to iTunes, all sound is distorted out of my speakers, and I have to re-start my computer again for the sound to be right. Does anyone else have this problem? I tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, but that didn't work. Thanks.

If you go through that article and it still doesn't start normally, start working with the security software on your computer.

I want to be able to sync my iPhone 5 to my new iTunes library (new computer) and erase old music. When I connect my iPhone I have no option to "erase and sync."

So I have the iPhone 5. My old computer crashed so I ended up purchasing a new computer and re-installing and downloading all my old music and new music.
When I connect my iPhone to my new computer I can sync music but the old music still remains on my iPhone as well as the new music.
There's a lot on the phone that I don't want anymore but I can't seem to figure out how to erase it.
I don't want to restore the iPhone so I don't lose all my old messages and so forth.
I have all of the latest updates for the iPhone and well as iTunes.
If anyone has any answers to help that would be awesome!
Thanks.

Hey there,
It sounds like you are not getting the prompt to erase and sync your device. This indicates to me that Manual Syncing was enabled on the original iTunes Library, and becuase of that it is also now enabled on your new computer.
This is changable in the Summary tab of iTunes when you have your device selected, and this article will help you do that:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
To manually manage the content, follow these instructions:
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling
