YOu can get all your pictures back by restoring from your backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  assuming you have one, if not then your pictures are gone.

    You mean you imported or transferred photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your computer?
    If so, what did you use on your computer for the import?

    An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library.

    You might have better luck in the iPhone community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

    Have you tried syncing the iPhone to your computer and restoring from the backup to see if you can get your other songs back? If you purchased the new album with your Apple ID, you should be able to download it to your computer to sync.

  • Syncing my iPhone 4s on both iMac and MacBook

    Help!
    When I got my iphone I only had our iMac, which was what I org. synced my phone to.  Since then I have purchased a MacBook and connected it to my MacBook (without any data loss, that I know of)  I do remember receiving messages of such the first time I plugged it in but have been syncing it to my MacBook for over a year now.  My iphone is still on OS 6.0.1, I want/need to update to the new OS but it tells me I need 4.0 GB of storage for the update.  Well when I connect my iphone to my Macbook it shows I have 6.74GB of (OTHER DATA) I had a WHOLE bunch of pics and vids in my messages.... I have went through and deleted a TON/MOST of my messages, I still have 6.74GB off (OTHER DATA).  However well over half of my apps are not showing up in my itunes acct. on my macbook and when I try to do the update it, it says you have purchased material on your iphone that has not been backed up and that I will lose if I do the update. 
    So to simplify
    1. How do I get rid of the almost 7 GB of Other Data so I can do the update
    2. Is there a way to get everything on my macbook so I can simplify down to just it without losing everything in the process, again so I can do the update.
    I have macs but do not fully understand the way they work together, however, love how they work together!  Is that possible?  LOL
    If I haven't provided enough info please ask!
    Thanks In Advance

    When I sync from my phone to macbook it does not sync over half of my apps that I have on the phone?  Will I lose them if I do the restore from my macbook?  Or should I connect to my iMac and do restore?  How and where do I copy my iTunes info from?  where is it hidden on my hard drive?

  • Syncing multiple iphones to the same imac and sharing the same ical

    I have 3 iphones in my household. is there a way to sync all of these to share the same ical?

    Yes.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each iPhone can be synced with iCal and the Address Book under the same computer login account. Each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes and iTunes will maintain a separate backup for each iPhone, which will be updated for each iPhone as the first step during the iTunes sync process.

    hi my laptop with my itunes lubrary has crashed so i got a new one but i dont want to sync my iphone to the new laptop incase i lose all my songs on my iphone. how do i sync to a new one without losing everything

    The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
    In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

  • When I went to sync my iPhone, I accidently hit restore and it made my iPhone have all of the settings of my iPod Touch, erasing my iPhone pictures and contacts. Is there any way to get everything back?

    When I went to sync my iPhone, I accidently hit restore and it made my iPhone have all of the settings of my iPod Touch, erasing my iPhone pictures and contacts. Is there any way to get everything back?

    Not to doubt you, but something sounds fishy. I can see accidentally clicking Restore, but to load your Touch's information you would have had to select your Touch's backup file after restoring, which would be hard to do by accident -- unless your iPhone and Touch have the same name?
    In any case, your iPhone should have its own backup file on your computer. You can click Restore again and this time select the iPhone's backup file (there should be a device name and date associated with the pop-up window at the end of the restore process). This process will erase your iPhone, reload the OS, and then when you select your backup file then all your iPhone settings, data, sync options, etc. will be re-loaded, including your media (if you auto-sync ... if you manually manage music and video on the iPhone then you'll need to re-select the items you want loaded onto it).

  • I just synced my iphone to a new computer and lost all my itunes libary.  It's on the computer but not on the phone.

    I justtryed to sync my iPhone with a new laptop and lost my itunes library from the phone.  I'd already moved iTunes to the laptop.  What did I do wrong, and is there a way to reclaim the library?

    Was the music purchased from iTunes?
    Can you sync other music to the iPod?
    What happens when you try to sync?
    When you switch syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the new computer. Did you do that?
    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computers. See:

  • How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

    How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
    I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be.  When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
    If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

    I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this):  first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing).  Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars.  Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
    Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

  • I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac.  Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others.  How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

  • I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but  over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

    I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

    HELP!! my babysitter synced her iphone 4s with my computer and i didnt notice she deleted all my contacts when she did this. so when i synced mine it deleted all the contacts on my phone! is there any way to restore from before the sync? HELP!!!

    if you see the option to restore in itunes, click it.  Your phone will give you the option to restore as new, or restore from backup.

    The above article walks you through it, and has pictures. As for your contacts, if you had them saved to Outlook (windows contacts?) you can follow this other article for getting them back. I know it says ipod, but it will work the same.

    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

  • I synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?

    how do i get them on my new mac now?
    Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily  be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo  Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well.  Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
    Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically".  Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.
