  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • I can't sync my iPod Touch with my new Macbook.

    I'm having trouble syncing my iPod touch with my new Macbook Air and I don't know what to do. I've managed to get all my music and films etc. off my old iTunes library but when I plug my iPod into the computer, it doesn't come up with the typical 'erase/replace or transfer' message that you get when you plug it into other computers. Someone please help because it is driving me insane. The iPod was originally synced with a Windows computer and I think this might be what is causing my problem but I really need help fixing it. Thanks!

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.
    but when I plug my iPod into the computer, it doesn't come up with the typical 'erase/replace or transfer' message that you get when you plug it into other computers.
    What does happen?

  • I have sync'ed my ipad with my new mac book air, but some of the images did not download!

    I have sync'ed my ipad with my new mac book air, but some of the images did not download to the computer. 
    I need these pictures! 
    Iphoto does not see these images.  How can I download them into my computer?
    I have tried using a PC to view the iPad as a HD, but it also does not find the images... yet I can visualize them!!!  I need to make sure I do not lose these pictures!!!!  How can I get them into my new computer?

    In iOS 7 you cannot transfer photos and videos anymore to or from your iPad as if it were a USB device.
    You must sync them using iTunes:

  • After syncing my ipod touch with a new computer, will an icloud backup restore my app data including game progress?

    I have an ipod touch which I have USB synced in the past on my Windows Vista laptop.
    Now I want to stop USB Syncing with the laptop and USB start syncing instead with my Windows 7 Desktop machine instead.
    Both PCs have the latest version of itunes running and I have transferred all purchases from the ipod to the Windows 7 desktop machine.
    Home sharing is turned on on both PCs, so now their libraries appear identical.
    The ipod has the latest IOS installed, and I have set up automatic icloud back ups for the ipod.
    If i USB sync the ipod with the windows 7 desktop PC it warns me that all data will be erased, and replaced with data from that computer. I know that this will mean that all game progress is lost since it is not included in a USB sync backup and virgin copies of all the apps will be loaded onto the ipod.
    My Question is this;
    What is the best way to keep the app data intact on the ipod?
    Do I simply carry out a USB sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC, let it wipe all the game save info away, and then resore an icloud backup onto the ipod?
    Will this result in me being able to sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC and keep my game save data intact?
    Thanks

    Two ways.
    - You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions

    All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
    - Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

  • I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But I don't want to lose any data from my apps.

    I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But i don't want to lose any data from my apps. If i erase and sync does it only erase music and videos or does it include apps as well? I specifically don't want to lose any data from Instagram, I don't want to have to start over. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks

    Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

  • HT1386 How do I sync my iphone 5s with my imac because it is only 10.6.8 and doesn't support icloud.  Apple tell me that my beautiful imac is vintage and I should ditch it!!!!  Where is their eco conscience.  I have been using mac for years and years now

    Does anyone know how to sync my iphone 5S with my imac 10.6.8 - which doesn't support icloud and can't be updated to do so.
    Apple tell me that it is a vintage computer now and I must throw it away and buy a new one.  Where is their social/eco conscience ...
    we are living in hard times trying to survive and trying to keep our businesses healthy.  Now is not the time to buy a new computer.
    What is Apple playing at??????

    You plug the phone into your computer and go to the Info Tab for the device in iTunes. Select what you want to sync. You should not attempt to sync with both iCloud and the local contacts on the Mac.
    Are you having some kind of problem doing this?

  • HT1386 Podcast will not sync to iphone

    It's 3/11/14 and I just realized one of my podcasts has not been synching to my phone.  I just thought they stopped the podcast because the show is not live anymore.
    My other podcast is still synching up so I didn't notice.
    I've unsubscribed and resubscribed to the podcast.  No help.
    I can see all the episodes on itunes but they do not show up on my iphone. 
    I've read other threads and have tried their suggestions and only one has worked so far.  I thought I would post the solution just in case it helps someone else.
    Go to Podcast in itunes
    Select the list option
    Right click on the podcast that is not syncing
    Get info, select yes, when it asks you if you want to make changes
    Go to the Options
    Change the Media type to "itunes u"
    Of course you have to have the itunes u app.  It's free and a great app.
    My podcast showed up and I can listen to it now. 
    It's very strange and I hope Apple will fix this problem soon. 
    I haven't synced it to any new episodes yets so I don't know if I'll have to change the settings for all new episodes each week or it'll just follow the other ones into the itunes U app.
    Just in case anyone is wondering, I have a iphone4 and have been listening to these podcasts for years with no problem.  I didn't change any settings except for all these updates itunes suggests.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
    It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
    - If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
    --- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
    iOS: How to back up
    --- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

    Use iPhone as designed. Like any digital camera, download your photos to your computer and delete from the iPhone to create space required for iOS upgrade.

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my iphone to my computer for some time.  All of the sudden, it will not sync and shows an alarm on the screen that says "the sync session failed to start".  What happened?

    When i try to sync my iphone to my computer, itunes tells me that the sync session failed to start.  What does this mean?

    Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives?

  • HT1386 How do I sync my iphone when my computer keeps giving me a "you don't have enough access priviliges" message

    How do I sync my iphone when keep getting a "you don't have enough access priviliges" message?

    I don't know all the details but will ask some basic questions:
    Did you download iTunes on your computer? You sync your phone to your computer by starting iTunes on your computer and connecting your phone.
    Another tip is to use the View menu in iTunes on your computer to View Sidebar. Your phone should show up in the left sidebar of iTunes on your computer when connected to your computer. You select it there and then use the tabs to the right to select items to sync to your iPhone.
    Sorry if these suggestions are too obvious.
