I have I phone 5. Somehow I lost my music when trying to find an audio book I had bought on itunes. I tried syncing with my mac but didn't work. I match was switched on . How do I get my music back on my phone? Can anyone help?

I have an iPhone 5. Whilst trying unsuccessfully to find an audiobook I bought from the iTunes Store on my phone, I lost all my music . Now iTunes Match just keeps trying to load, but nothing happens. I still have my music on my ipad and my computer so I tried syncing to get it back on my phone, but that didn't work. Does anyone know what to do please?

turn match off and then sync
syncing itunes mac
first open itunes on mac computer
At top left you have an apple - itunes- file edit view ect...
go under view and show side bar
go under iTunes and check for updates (11.1.3 current) - update if needed
plug in iphone (or ipad, ipod ect..)
when the device shows up in the sidebar click on the name of device not the arrow
this opens up a summary page
across top says info, apps, music, photos, ect...
click on what you want to sync ie music
check the top box that says sync music select -entire library or selected songs and pick what you want by checking
now apply or sync at bottom
Peace, Clyde

  • I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, they aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC).  How do I get my music loaded?

  • New firefox install. Setting up sync, used correct email but wrong password. New account was created. How do I get sync from the old account?

    I did a re-install of Firefox. When setting up the sync, I accidentally created a new account on the e-mail I was using for sync. The system did not prompt me that this account is already in use. Now there is a new sync data set up on this account.
    How can I access the sync data that was previously linked to this e-mail address?

    This is the proper method to update your Sync account for the new Sync, aka '''FxA'''.

    Unfortunately the data in the old version of that account was overwritten when you accidentally created a new account using the same "username" / email address.
    Are you certain that you used the same exact email address?

  • HT203167 I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  They are still on my computer, but won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account.  How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?

    How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
    I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4.  The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone.  I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone.  In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files.  I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either.  I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone.  It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. 

    Ignore.  I figured it out:)

  • Had to restore, now how do i get my stuff back on my phone?

    I hate sounding stupid, but apparently I am. I had to restore my iPhone 3GS to original settings. It said it was going to restore all my contacts, but it did not, it is like a brand new phone. On my iTunes, it shows all my apps, and I'm hoping it still has all my contacts, but how do I get all that back on my phone?
    I knew I was depending way to much on my iPhone, I feel totally lost! Can I get back everything that was on my calendar, etc?

    As mentioned, you should have your contacts backed up on your computer or with a program, such as Address Book for Mac OS X, because they are not backed up with iTunes, even you did backup and restore. It only saves settings, app settings and saved games and that's pretty much it. If you only have the contacts on the iPhone, then you pretty much lost them.

    How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

    I just lost all contacts. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
    Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me $69 to purchase key number to download my info.
    All contacts info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
    Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • How do I get my information back on my phone after updating itunes

    how do I get my information back on my phone after updating I Tunes.  I up dated it this morning and when it was complete, all my contacts and my pics and my screen savers and sounds were from my daughters phone. I can not locate any of my information on my phone?

    All iTunes content they you have selected to be transferred to your existing iPhone - music/video/podcasts including 3rd party apps remain in your iTunes library on your computer. Photos transferred to your existing iPhone via the iTunes sync process also remain on your computer.
    If you are syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, this data also remains on your computer.
    You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library and iTunes account with each device having its own sync settings.
    When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone that has been synced with iTunes. After the backup for your existing iPhone is transferred to your new iPhone, this must be followed by a sync to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps and any photos on your computer selected to be transferred to your iPhone. You select sync contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal under the Info tab for your new iPhone sync preferences and this data will be transferred to your new iPhone.

    Well there's two ways of doing it. If you have iOS 5.0, onwards then you can go to 'Updates' 'Purchased' and search for the App there. If you have't got iOS 5.0 onwards, then connect the device to iTunes and search for the App there. If it helped please rate up, thanks.

  • I backed up everything to icloud, wiped my phone, synced to that backup, and only some of my photos are there. How do I get those photos back?

    I backed up everything to icloud, wiped my phone, synced to that backup, and only some of my photos are there. How do I get those photos back?
    I went to apple store and they walked me through this except for the syncing part. I went to sync everything at home and a lot of my photos aren't there. When I scroll all the way down, its just a loading spiral thing.
    Also, now I have new stuff, that I don't want to get deleted.
    Is there some way to put my icloud pictures on my computer as well?

    If the restore process is done, or seems to have stalled, and it didnt' restore your camera roll photos, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  If it's still restoring, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring at the bottom.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.
    Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.  You might want to move it closer to your wifi router for the strongest signal possible.

    How do I get my contacts back in my phone??

    Have you tried iCloud yet? If not, go to setting>iCloud and make sure the switch is green for contacts. That will do the trick if you had your contacts set to back up to iCloud before

  • I bought an app from the app store, it said there was an error downloading and it did not download but apple still took money off my apple account, how do i get my money back?

    From the App Store meny bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    And check your Applications folder for the app.
    Apple's policy > All Sales Are Final >  iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    Note... it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help.

  • The lock rotation has turned on I have no idea how there is no icon on the bottom task bar can anyone help please

    The lock rotation has turned on I have no idea how there is no icon on the bottom task bar can anyone help please

    You have the lock icon towards the top right of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If you do then which iPad do you have ? If it's not the iPad Air 2 then you should have a Settings > General > Use Side Switch To option which controls what the switch on the side of the iPad, above the volume control does - if that is set to 'Lock Rotation' then you use that switch on the side to turn rotation on/off
    If there isn't a lock icon at the top right then try a soft-reset and see if that gets the iPad to rotate again : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I gifted a ringtone to my sister that I purchased from the iTunes store, and it is on her phone, but we can't figure out how to get it moved to her ringtones.  Can anyone help?

    I gifted a ringtone to my sister that I purchased from the iTunes store, and it is on her phone, but we can't figure out how to get it moved to her ringtones.  Can anyone help?

    Edit > Preferences.  Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes. 
    Not sure that really answers your question though.
