HT1386 Remove and sync?

When I opened iTunes to sync my phone to the computer, it asked me if i wanted to remove and sync my songs. Does this mean that the songs will be put on the computer? Or will they be erased completely?

Have you copied your library over from your old computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 ?
There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Everytime i Sync ipad or iphone after restarting computer the music and movie boxes have been automatically unchecked. Then if i check it it ask remove and sync.Why is this happening?

    As question the says itunes keeps unchecking the movies and music boxes and i then have to "remove and Sync" then reselect the movies i want to watch. Movies is set to allow me to selct only what I want and music is sync all music. I appreciate any help.

    Hmm. That sounds easy enough... but how do I backup to the new computer when it doesn't give me the option? When I connect the iPad via USB, it asks me to:
    • set up as a new IPad
    • restore from a previous backup (where the only backup listed in the drop down menu is a stolen iPad with outdated information, dated April of 2011. It doesn't ask to restore from iCloud where this current iPad is backed up.)
    If you're suggesting that I back up both devices to iCloud and then wipe them, then plug them into the new computer and restore from the iCloud backup, so that my new computer considers these new devices, that makes sense... except that I don't see an option to restore from iCloud. Does that option appear later? And is it absolutely certain that any app I have entered data into will restore that information as well, and not just the app? For example, if I have an index card app which I make essay notes in, will those notes definitely be backed up along with the app? Or just the app? I can't afford to lose all my work data.
    Thanks.

  • I have an old Ipod and am trying to sync the music from it onto my new (Windows) Computer. When it links us it says it must remove and sync the music. Does this mean I will lose the music from my ipod forever?

    Yes, that is exactly what it means.
    The right way to do it is to first rebuild your library on the new computer, and then sync the iPod. 
    You can rebuild your library by copying the library from the old computer or from your backup.
    If neither of those options is available, you can extract the songs from the iPod, although the process is a bit hairy.  See this guide for the procedure, written by Forum member Steve/turingtest2.

  • Will my music and what not be transferred back onto my ipod if i select "Remove and Sync" after backing up my device?

    I have recently been trying to set my ipod up on my nwe laptop (windows). Today when I installed iTunes to my computer, it gave me the option to Remove and sync all of my music and what not from my ipod and sync whatever was already on my computer. I backed up my ipod, but will I still lose all of my music and apps and such if I remove and sync?

    Yes.
    If your iPod was synced initially with another computer it will replace whatever is on it now with what is in iTunes.
    If you have access to your ols computer you can move your iTunes library to the new one by copying the whole iTunes folder from My Music and putting it in the My Music folder of the new one.
    iTunes purchases can be redownloaed. Any ripped CDs will to be transfered into your current iTunes library via third party software.

  • End of my tether trying to sync 4S after using remove and sync - help?

    Ok so this could have been caused by 2 things - firstly my dad managed to create a new library when he was trying to save a new folder for his photos to go into therefore I had to track down the new library delete it and then reimport our old library from our external hard drive. Since then my 4S keeps saying "erase and sync" which I have done numerous times and still can't sync to this 'new' (even though it's the one we were using three days ago) what can I do other than throw my phone at the wall lol.
    Strangely enough i did the erase ot remove whatever it an sync on my ipad 2 and it worked however im a bit scared to use it on my mums new 5 or ipad mini so I am waiting for some sort of help before trying it.
    Open to anything so even if it means restore to factory settings that's fine.
    But of course secondly it could be a iOS 7 issue which hasn't shown up till now.
    Oh and ps even though my iPad is synced it's suddenly decided to stick on the syncing screen

    CalenGoo and BusyCal get good reviews, and claim to keep the colours the same.  I haven't used them myself; I don't need that level of detail.  iCal on your Mac will sync with Google, but only in one colour, so far as I can tell.  
    If you can wait a few months, it will be interesting to see what iCloud is like.  Hopefully it should be seamless and invisible, like you'd expect.

  • HT1386 iCloud and syncing with iPod

    I purchased iCloud to use as a back up for my iPod music library.  Now I can no longer access my music.  My music is in my computer library but when I try syncing it to my phone, only the titles show up. When I click on a song, it is no longer highlighted and will not play.  Maybe I misunderstood iCloud and how it works.  I didn't want to actually store all my music and have to have Wi-Fi available to play it. That would not be possible if you are traveling in a car with no access to Wi-Fi.  I thought iCloud would just back up my music in case my computer crashed.
    Anyone know how I can get my music to play on my iPod now?

  • Are you sure you want to remove existing photos and sync photos from this computer?

    I have a 64Gb iPad running the current version of ios7 on which I store around 15,000+ photos. Every time I add a few new photos to iPhoto and then try to sync the iPad through iTunes (current version) I get the message in the title. It takes about 6 hours every time I want to sync my photos because it erases and re-loads all 15,000+ onto the iPad. Also when I sync my iPad the process fills up the Home>Pictures>iPhoto>(show package contents)> iPod backup file with about 80+ Gb of backup files so I can never fully sync my iPad in one go as the process fills up the 70 or so Gb of free space on my hard drive. Every time I sync I have to stop halfway through delete the file and sync the rest. Why can't my iPad just sync the new photos? Please help. Note: this is not a new iPad, this is not a new mac. It used to work fine befor why not now?

    An iPod can only be synced with one iPhoto library. If it has been synced with another library previously, the photos synced from that library will be removed from the iPod. Have you been switching between iPhoto libraries? You need to switch back to the iPhoto library that you want to sync with, before connecting your iPod.
    The library you are using for syncing, needs to contail all photos that you want to sync to your iPod.

  • HELLLPPPP!!!! If I remove all existing music from my ipod and sync to iTunes library i wont be able to get any music back?

    So my ipod is still iOS 4 or somthing and I'm was going to update it on my laptop

    Follow these instructions to not lose any data. When you restore from backup as the article says the iPod will also be updated.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • Cannot remove a sync group and provisioning never stops

    I try to remove my sync group in Azure DataSync , but get a message "Cannot remove this sync group because one or more databases are currently provisioning, re-provisioning, de-provisioning, canceling sync or synchronizing. TracingId=cc4af9b5-f6c5-2ca9-9412-acbaee44f87b"
    My sync group is Sync Group ID: b9dfb07f-5415-487d-a6c7-c7caccf473b8_East / Subscription ID: 31e2bcf5-8078-4bf3-8898-ba771ea860ac
    And before I try to remove it, it has a trouble that Provisioning never finishes.
    The provisioning was adding reference new servers and the provisioning is continuing for more than 10 days.
    While removing the sync group, I had deleted all reference database other than the hub database, and applied DeprovisioningUtil.exe to the hub database.
    In the sync group, all databases were Azure SQL.  The sync group didn't use sync agent.
    The hub database seems to have no tables relating datasync like as "_dss" or "_traking" after I applied DeprovisioningUtil.exe.
    I had no more idea to do other than waiting, any other ideas?
    Best regards,

    Hi Kamiyn,
    Regarding to the error message and your description, it seems that you tried to remove sync group failed , I assume you only have one sync group, when you used DeprovisioningUtil tool, you should manually clean up all objects by running the deprovisioning
    utility from the same folder where the Data Sync Agent gets installed.
    Here is a similar issue about this error, you can refer to the post.

  • TS1702 I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FRONM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

    I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FROM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

    That's because app content is stored in the iPhone backup, not the app. What you should have done, is first restore from backup, then sync your iTunes content...the app in question...back to your phone. That would have restored the app data. However, if you've synced, since restoring the app to your phone, the app data is gone.
