I can't sync my iphone to my mac air, how do I do this? My iphone is not showing up on itunes as it use to on my pc.
Hello, I am a newbie to the world of Mac laptops. I have plugged my iphone into my new Mac Air but when I start up iTunes, it is not showing as it use to on my PC. I have followed other instructions and it is telling me that it is being transferred by air but they are not in my contacts list. It has told me to check the settings on my phone but I can not see hwere to do this or how to sync them onto my macair book. Please help!
Is it because the new itunes looks different.
View > Show Sidebar
Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

I have an iPod which I currently sync on my iMac, but I want to sync it on my Apple mac pro, how do I do this? Is there a way of doing it without restoring my iPod?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I had to restore my iphone 4 for some reason (my mac said it could not read it) so i did. I then restored my iphone to my icloud back up. All was well i still have all my contacts, messages, settings etc. However now for some reason when i plug my iphone into my mac it tries to put all my photos back onto my Iphone. Iv tried looking for syncing preferences to stop it doing so but cant see anything. Also the photos that are being synced do not appear under my iphone icon under 'devices' in iphoto and itunes says that there are no photos on my iphone :s but i CAN see the photos on my iphone and its been saying 'Syncing 132 of 255' for the last 24 hours! can someone please help??
Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod
Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time. -

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have a sync key, and have a new computer terminal, but when I enter the account details I created, it syncs nothing with my new computer. How do I fix this? There is nothing showing up when I sync with the sync key from my old terminal.

I recently had to do a wipe on my laptop. I saved the sync key but there was no mention of a sync account prior to doing the wipe. I saved the key and when I did the wipe it asked me to make an account, which I had not done, but now I am seeing no where to put in a sync key code. did they make them unusable now or something?
</blockquote>
You are probably trying to use old Sync with Firefox newer than version 29,
and they did make old Sync unusable on fresh installations of newer Firefox.
You can uninstall that newer Firefox, then install Firefox 29 from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0.1/
Apply your sync key code, then update that installation to current Firefox,
then migrate to new Sync:

IPhone does not show up un iTunes
I just got my iPhone yesterday and when I connect it to my MacBook Pro, it does not show up in iTunes. The computer does recognize the device because it automatically tries to get the photos off of the phone. I have done all of the software updates and restarted the computer and phone. I'm not sure what else to do, or if I need to update my operating system. I currently am using 10.6.8.
If you're iPhone is connected to a keyboard or hard drive, it might not show up in iTunes. Try connecting it to the back of your Mac.
If that doesn't do it, try following along with this Apple doc -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X -
I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!
Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?
I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library. -

TS1363 my iphone does not show up in itunes for me to sync
My iPhone 5 does not show up in iTunes so that I can sync it. I have Windows 8.1.
Try this
Go into the control panel, programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application supprt
Then go to apple.com and redownload iTunes and reinstall it and try again.
It shouldn't affect your content at all (didn't mine) but may help with iTunes seeing your device. -
I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts. I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.

I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)
Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.
