HT1386 Using Sync to copy a PDF to iBooks has removed all my music.  How do I copy it back?

After being told by Apple Care support that the only way to get a PDF onto my ipad was to use the Sync function, almost all of my music disappeared. It is still in the iTunes library on my PC and in the folder where it has always been.  When I try to use iTunes to copy it back to the iPad, iTunes says the file(s) can't be found and then promptly starts to play the file in question!  Ironically, the 3 files that remained on the iPad after the Sync were the only ones I've purchased from iTunes.  The 200 or so from other sources (CDs I'e owned for many years and files purchased directly from publishers) were removed and can't be added back. Is this normal?????  This is my first Apple device and at the moment, I'm not completely thrilled with it :-(

Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?

  • HT4623 ios7 has removed ALL my music. Will not sync

    Upgraded? to IOS7 and have now lost ALL my Music from my iPhone 4S.
    It will not sync the selected music lists in my itunes library that was on the phone in IOS6!
    Help please?

    I have just run into the same problem with my iphone 4s. The update has somehow added over 800 songs to my iphone that were never there to start with. It has strangely taken most of my husbands music choices (all in the same itunes program with my music) and added them to my phone.
    I tried deleting them manually via the phone but it just wont let me. It just keeps flipping through the songs like it thinks I want to see whats available. The only way to stop it scrolling was to close down the music app.
    I also tried deleting them via itunes and although itunes tells me (via the usage bar at the bottom of the screen) that I have no music on my iphone the music is all still there.
    I am now also trying the system restore as I can't see any other way to fix it. Why is it always so hard with these phones??
    I am looking forward to the end of this phone contract so that I can finally go get a Samsung. I'm over the eternal iphone problems and friends with other brand smartphones do not go through this much pain over and over again. It's just not worth it.

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • The creation of the shadow copy on the backup destination has failed. Detailed Error: The Volume Shadow Copy operation failed with the error 0x80042316

    When using Microsoft Backup on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 (not R2 - [Microsoft version 6.0.6002]) I get the error "The creation of the shadow copy on the backup destination has failed. Detailed Error: The Volume Shadow Copy operation failed with the
    error 0x80042316"
    The odd thing is that when I start the backup manually, it works fine. When  it runs automatically the error appears.
    When doing a SFC /scannow I do get errors that can't be corrected.
    Is there anything short of rebuilding this machine (It's a DC and the only one this office has) I can do to fix this?

    Hi,
    0x80042316 means "Another shadow copy creation is already in progress". This error could occur when another VSS instance is running.
    Is there any third party backup application installed? Try to uninstall it to see the result. And please also check if there is another backup schedule which causes the conflict.
    Meanwhile please provide the result of:
    vssadmin list providers
    vssadmin list writers
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected].
    Hi,
    I do have Crashplan ProE running. It started at 1900 and the Windows Backup starts at 2000. I have modified Crashplan not to start until 2300 to see if that helps.

  • When i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

    when i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

    no, and i have spent my entire spring break with a dead iphone 4s, no access to my iphone mail accounts, can't get into my text service app, and can't get into notes. oh yeah, all of my music is gone. thanks a bunch for this wonderful upgrade.
    i am never upgrading again until i am sure all the bugs are out. this is a waste of my time and what's the use of having a cellphone if it only stays charged for two hours?
    one of the apple forums said that iox is "expanvie" and gave us tips on how to lengthen battery life. i was already doing all that stuff. so it seemed to me that apple was just taking the stand that  ios is just more "expansive." this is lipservice hogwash. if that is the case, then we need to get new phones with batteries strong enough to accommodate running these power apps and updates.
    my iphone makes a **** good coaster though. right now i am just ready to start sending smoke signals!

    ''''' "My bookmarks from firefox were all on IE. " '''''
    That wouldn't happen automatically, Firefox doesn't synchronize bookmarks with IE favorites.
    Any chance you were using Google Bookmarks in Firefox? And then with the Google Toolbar not working any longer you just can't access your Google Bookmarks from within Firefox ??

  • HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer.  'Sync' doesn't do it.  What do I do?

    I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7.  Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer.  I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad).  ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else.  So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa.  It doesn't do that anymore.  So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album).  What is going on?
    Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
    How can I download my iPad to my computer?

    -Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

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

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.

    As far as I am aware an iPhone that has been associated with one library cannot be assoicated with a new one without iTunes wanting to erase and reload content from the local library. This normally means the loss of non-store purchases unless they are recovered first with third party tools. Setting the device to manual management on anything other than the "current" home library of the device will trigger the deletion of content.
