  • 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?

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

  • I accidentally synced my iPhone with a different iTunes, now I lost all my purchased music. How do I get it back?

    I had synced my phone onto a different iTunes account without thinking about it. I had purchased a few songs and episodes from the iTunes library and now I'm having a hard time recovering them. The new iTunes lets you purchase previously downloaded apps and books but I can't find anywhere to download my songs and tv shows. I have the list items in my previous purchases history but every time I go to download it again it asks to buy again. Is there anyway of getting them back for download or will I have to suck it up and pay again? I have an iPhone 3GS if that helps. Thanks for your time.

    Not 100% sure, but I think even though it says "buy", it will recognize that you have already bought it and it won't charge you again.
    Maybe someone here can confirm that that is indeed the case?

  • Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps

    Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps.
    Why no tleave them spread out I hear you ask... That is not practicable. I then have 12 pages to scan rather than just two. I need a solution... :-P

    I realize this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem after upgrading my software today. Kinda surprised there are no solutions at all with 88 views.  I have an iPod touch btw, not an iPhone, but it prob wouldn't make much difference in this case.
    The thing is, I get the screen(s) looking EXACTLY as I want on iTunes...just perfect (which is what I believe everyone else is experiencing as well).  When we go to sync tho, it does whatever it wants to do.  After syncing, all the apps are there, it's just that for me, it puts them in some type of random order.  I have 72 apps and this is absolutely ridiculous!
    Thanks in advance for any fixes anyone might have...

  • Why when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show inmy computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

    Hi,
    can any one tell me why  when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show in my computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

    Not simple enough. Please read the original concern.
    The issue is not "getting music to the new machine" or "authorizing the new machine" or "transferring purchases from an idevice". The issue is that after doing all those things, even creating a backup using the new iTunes/Mac, syncing my device with the new library erases all the app data from the iPhone, as well as folder structure and page layout. Music is expendable in this situation as it's just a matter of moving the files around. (Which I did before I ever started this exercise.)
    The problem is that everything from email accounts to folders are lost when I sync the device with a new computer. I tried this on my iPad first and spent a good deal of time re-arranging everything and getting all the data back. The pictures are just gone. Good thing I backed them up on the old PC.
    It won't be as simple on my iPhone as I have a ton of stuff on it and can't afford to lose anything. Some of the data is gave saves and such, but other things are more important. And I don't want to lose those game saves either.

  • When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps.  How do I get mine back?

    When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps.  How do I get mine back?

    Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x.  You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom).  If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.  Then you should be good to go.

  • I want to hide an application so that it doesn't show up on the iPhone (4S w/ iOS 6.1) or on the Apps screen when I sync my iPhone to the computer.  I used to be able to do this before the upgrade.  Is there a way?

    Before I upgraded to iOS 6, there was a way to hide an application on my phone.  When you did this is only showed up in Featured Apps in the App Store and specifically, would only appear in "Hidden Apps".  Also, the app wouldn't show up at all on my device when I sync to the computer.  I can't figure out how to hide an app anymore.  Can anyone help?  Oh and I'm talking about purchased apps...not the ones that come standard with the iPhone.

    Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone.  Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

  • What **** I'm going to loose exactly, when I sync my iPhone with "different" computer?

    Sorry for using crude language, but no freaking patience, when google-fu didn't brought any results; what files I am exactly going to loose, when I'm syncing my old iPhone full of my personal infomation (pics, videos, contacts, messages, emails, ton of app relative cache data, so on) with my computer?
    I have synchronized my iPhone before, however, it was the same computer, different account (which doesn't exist any longer). iTunes is giving hard time accepting this little detail, and while wanting to sync some new songs on my iPhone, nope, no can do without emptying and then syncing my iPhone. Which is naturally out of question because earlier mentioned amount of data loss in so many freaking places.
    Also, tips around "Sync music to iPhone WITHOUT using iTunes, wuup wuup" are welcome as long as they don't include subscription for service to do that (i.e. Spotify).

    This is the first hit I got when I did a Google search:
    http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-sync-iphone-itunes-without-era sing-content-3523862/
    Perhaps that will point you in the right direction.
    Best of luck. 

  • When I sync my iPhone to my computer the songs don't display

    This has happened to me a few times and I'm not sure how to fix it.
    Sometimes when I would sync my iPhone to my iTunes it would sync correctly but my songs would not be displayed. The songs are still on my iPhone but I am not able to work with anything on my iTunes unless it's in my general library.
    Here is what it looks like
    Up until now I've just been restoring my iPhone but now it's telling me that I don't have any room left on my computer to do a restore.
    I don't really know what to do but I'm too scared to do anything in case I lose everything on my iPhone.
    Please help!

    No, I don't see a red badge. There were so many that are not updating, I started deleting them. They just kept saying installing, but didn't for the past few days, so I've been deleting he ones I don't use often.
    Again, my FB app disappeared. When I go to the App Store, it says it is installed. I can't find it. When I go to purchased apps it says installed. Still can't find it. Can't delete. Candy crush is just sitting I the updates saying installing for the last 3 days. The number of apps that needs to be updated just keeps growing, but won't update.

  • I downloaded a ringtone ap, picked out several ringtones and downloaded them to itunes.  When I synced my iphone with the computer they did not appear on my phone.  It says to go to custom but I don't see that on my phone in ringtone settings.  next step.

    I downloaded a ringtone ap, picked out my ringtones and sent them to myself, got them in itunes and then synced my iphone.  No new ringtones on my iphone.  It said to look in custom, I do not have that listed under ringtones in sounds.  What do I do or can I get different ringtones on my phone?

    You must have somehow restored your iPhone from an iPod Touch backup file.
    To recover you should restore your iPhone from the last iPhone backup file you have or from the Cloud if you were using it.
