iPhone 5 & iPad 3 library & individual books don't synch properly . Problem began when changed from iphone4s to 5. Help!
Hi Ryguy2303,
As far as I understand, syncing photos TO an iPhone and FROM iPhoto on your MBP is determined purely on your sync settings for your iPhone in iTunes.
Step by Step...?
Here is a screenshot of the sync settings for my iPad 2 in iTunes... Note at the top of the page that I have selected to "Sync Photos from iPhoto". My iPad 2 only has 16GB memory, so I have to be selective with the number of photos I copy across, and choose to sync "Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include Events from the last 3 months" in the dropdown option box.
It is important to note here that iTunes provides many different combinations of syncing photos to your iPhone.
If you want all your photos in iPhoto on your MBP to be copied to your iPhone, it is as simple as clicking the option circle for "All photos, albums, Events, and Faces". Once you have selected this option, click the "Apply" button in the bottom right corner of iTunes and a sync with your iPhone should commence. Sit back, grab a drink and relax, cause if you have a lot of photos this will take some time, even with the lightening cable connection.
If you want selected photos, then play around with the options... you cannot do any damage here... you are simply asking iTunes to manage to process of copying photos from a location on your MBP (shown as iPhoto in my screenshot above) to your iPhone. No photos are harmed in this process.
If I have missed the point completely, please let me know.

What happened to my entire 3000+ songs in my library I used to see when I opened iTunes? I only see the most recently purchased. How do I get them back? I don't have an I phone to play they on, only a droid.
Pammie49Hi Sarah,
It sounds like the songs have either not yet synced over to the iPhone, or something went wrong when attempting to sync to the iPhone. My recommendation is to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox.
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

My macbook pro synchs to iphone, but iphone notes and address book do not synch with my laptop
When I enter contacts on my iphone 4 they do not go accross to laptop, but do go from laptop to iphone. On previous MBP it worked, as did notes that appeared in my inbox. I am running lion, all boxes are ticked, apps synch ok but not address book and notes
I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

Spouses, Assistants, etc... don´t synch to IPhone "Contact" App. Why not? Is there a solution?
The Addressbook in Lion has entry blanks that enable one to list a person's relatives and work colleagues. This feature was also available in Snow Leopard and Leopard. These also exist in MobileMe, so when one synchs, the information from these entries are transferred to the Adressbook there. However there are no such entries on the IPhone's "Contact" App. so this valuable data does not get tranferred to the IPhone when synching. And the option to add fields doesn´t include these. Will Apple cure this annoying inconsistency? Do you experience the same problem? What do you recommend as an interim solution?.
Someone posted this solution that was provided in a different thread which so far has worked. For step # 4) I just put the iPhone in Airplane Mode which seemed to work fine:
Here is the summary of the steps I took to correct the issue:
1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix.
If you are still broken, kill the Message App again, then reboot your phone.

New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S. This a new problem. No problem in the past
Purchased new apps on ipad. Purchases did not synch with iphone 4. Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s. this is a new problem. I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.
It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

Time Machine backup fails if you are synching your iPhone?
Time Machine has been running fine on my 10.5.4 system, but today a backup failed
with the message "...error occurred while copying files..." Looking through the
forums, I saw a mention that one should not use iTunes during a backup. In fact,
I was synching my iPhone during the failed backup. Looking at the log using
"sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log", I saw that it failed to back up
/Users/levoy/Pictures/.DS_Store. My iPhone has lots of photos on it, which are
stored in Pictures/. This comes close to a smoking gun. Lesson: don't synch your
iPhone during a Time Machine backup. Apple should track down and fix this bug.
By the way, my iPhone software is version 2.0.2, and my backup drive is a 1TB WD
drive from Apple. I have disabled sleeping the drive, as suggested elsewhere in
these forums, to avoid hangs.Time Machine has been running fine on my 10.5.4 system, but today a backup failed

is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?
Hello KM47,
It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
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 iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
I got a new computer a while ago and tried to sync my iPhone 3. I thought my library was housed at iTunes, but when I sync, it does not sync the previous library. I can see my apps, but they are "grayed" out and I cannot maneuver them on my computer. When I click to sync the apps currently on my iPhone, I get a message saying that by doing so will erase what is on the phone and replace it with what is in the library. Please help!
You need to copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
The iphone will sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, then it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
The music sync is one - way -computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.
Copy everything from the old computer. -
IPhone won't sync to new computer w/library from old computer HELP!
Got an iPhone4 for Christmas... already had many, many Gs of music on my PC. Installed iTunes, purchased some music from iTunes, Amazon, sync'd some to my iPhone. Backed up *all* my music onto flash drive(s). (PC was +10yrs old). PC dies. Get new-to-me computer replacement from my husband's office (some ghosts from previous user still exist). Do my best to locate all previous owners music and delete. Load all my music from my flash drive onto new-to-me PC. iTunes can't 'see' my music. Figure out where library from previous PC owner is, re-direct iTunes from that library to my data. Go onto iTunes and authorize new-to-me computer using same userid so now all library history info related to that userid should now be linked w/this newer-to-me PC, right? Purchase more music from iTunes. Try to sync iPhone to my iTunes account using new-to-me computer, and it wants to erase my iPod and associate it with "this iTunes library." Crap. I just want to put 3 newest songs onto my iPhone, which I purchased, fair & square.
1)How do I 'de-authorize' my old PC? It is no longer alive or bootable.
2)How can I convince iTunes that the library on this newer-to-me PC is the library from my old PC, plus more added while on this newer-to-me PC and the library on my iPhone are really one-and-the-same library all belonging to me fair and square?
3)Is there a way to transfer songs onto my iPhone without iTunes running an inventory on my iPhone to try to automatically add or delete songs that are checked or unchecked? I don't want my entire library on my iPhone.
4)Will I have to remember to ensure every song that I want to stay on my iPhone are always checked in iTunes before syncing my iPhone to my iTunes, even when I only want to make a couple of changes? (if yes, I'll just skip that step and insert the pins in my eyes now.)
Don't get me wrong, I really LOVE my iPhone, I just really don't love a lot of the built-in 'features' of iTunes as I currently understand things. I'd be a lot happier if iTunes were a dummer program and totally manual, in the way the older vs of MSWindows Media Player is. (I cannot beleive I just had to admit that I like a Windows SW product over an Apple one! Deffinitely a sign of the appololypse - hope you're a 'prepper.')
Please help me. I am so weary of the days and hours I've spent trying to find/read the answers to my questions on my own. Many thanks.
BrianneHey Roaming Gnome,
hope you're having a good day! Thanks so much for the info... although I don't really like the reality of the answers... The answers were depressing (through no fault of your own-you were just passing on the info I asked for-I get that part and appreciate your help) so I went away to lick my wounds and gain the strength to tackle this project. So, here's the deal, I did back up all the songs that were on my old PC, both the "My Music" folder and the "iTunes" folder within. All on flash drive. That computer died, cannot be resuscitated, drive HD erased/shredded, PC now in pieces... fine, I have my music, what do I care, right? (yeah, I know, wrong) I loaded all my music onto my new-ish/replacement PC. Not yet syncing my iPhone... Then, from my new-ish PC, I purchased some music and a few TV shows from iTunes and some music from Amazon (I had gift cards). Then I purchased more music from the iTunes store using my phone. Also, before my old PC died, I had downloaded (I thought), an app and some free ringtones using my iPhone. However, I eventually discovered that they aren't *really* installed/downloaded (only the free app I got off the iTunes store is downloaded/installed). Found this out when I went to try to use a ringtone, couldn't locate them on my phone, and weren't showing up on my PC in my iTunes library... I finally found something on the app that said something about I have to sync my phone to my iTunes library, in some different way... (?) then download them from my iTunes library back to my phone. (huh?) This didn't make sense to me, so I never did it, because I just didn't have the time to figure it out, then execute it.... at that time.
I also never took the time to set up the free part of my iCloud account because, again I didn't have time to try to figure it out, and didn't think I'd really have to have it I had all my music on my flash drive (wrong again).
1) So, how can I get my purchases (the ones that exist only on my iPhone, including rights to the free ring-tones) into my iTunes library, and or iCloud, without losing them all?
Once I do this, I can back everything up, then sync my iPhone to my only iTunes library, which I realize will wipe my phone clean, then re-copy everything back onto my iPhone. (I can't wait to start this process... do you think it will be done before Christmas?)
2)Also, will syncing my iPhone to what it thinks is a 'new' library, will it delete anything on my computer that wasn't in the library last time I sync'd my phone to my library? I really don't want to pay for the TV shows again, or spend the stupid hours I spent/lost searching through and collecting the ringtones that I wanted? I burned the hours thinking, "if I just spend the time now, I'll never have to do this again."
3)On a slightly separate issue, the iCloud listing on my iPhone in the 'Settings' menu is light gray, and does not respond when I tap on it or hold my finger on it. Ideas?
4) In the future, if I get a new computer to replace the one I'm using, what are the steps I should take to keep me from losing music I own, existing in my iTunes library, on my PC and/or iPhone, And, cause me the least amount of heartburn possible when migrating my music world over to a replacement PC? I don't expect this will be my last PC in life - or I'd like to think I'll outlive this PC. Can I avoid all problems by just naming the new computer the same thing as the last one? Or does the iPhone/iTunes SW know more than just the name of the computer? Sorry this is so long. It would be shorter if iPhone/iTunes SW were dumb... we'd all be enjoying chips & margaritas by now. ;^}

Hi- I keep getting an error message show up when I sync my iPhone to my Mac Book Pro. the message is that I can't copy to the Macintosh disc because I don' have enough access privileges. Then when I click ok my phone gets stuck syncing. any thoughts?
Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
You can open Disk Utility several ways.
1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
- Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
3. Click on the Finder
- Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
- Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
(By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
Click on it to highlight it.
There should then be a few buttons you can click
- Verify Disk Permissions
- Repair Disk Permissions
- Verify Disk
- Repair Disk
Click Repair Disk Permissions -

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.
