I just got my dads old iPhone 4. I restored it to factory settings and set it up with my apple id. The albums in my music are fine in iTunes but on my phone the albums are split and each song is its own album. Does anybody know how to fix this?

My dad has recently gotten a new phone and I got his old one. With his permission I restored it to factory settings and set up the iPhone 4 as a new phone with my apple id. Everything has downloaded fine but I have had many problems with my music. First it was where my phone didnt recognise my apple id, but I  figured that out. Then it was where iTunes took one of my albums and split it so all the songs where their own albums. I fixed the album split on iTunes but its still like that on my iPhone. I have looked online everywhere and I still haven't found a solution! I'm getting super frustrated! Does anybody know how to fix this?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    Hey skyshade13,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.
    No content shows up in iTunes after updating

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • Call waiting says "multiple calls" rather than listing the number or the contact.  Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Call waiting says "multiple calls" rather than listing the number or the contact.  This error is not consistent, sometimes it says "multiple calls" and other times it lists the contact.  This is happening on a coworker's iPhone 4s.  Does anyone know how to get it to list the contact every time?
    Thank you,
    Dan

    It sounds as though it may not be ending calls correctly, I would try restarting the phone, and then resetting all settings.

  • My iphone 4s works, but the screen is completely black... does anybody know how to fix this?

    Hi i woke up three days ago to my iphone 4s not working, assuming it had no charge i plugged it in and fully charged the battery.
    when i returned the screen was still black, but the phone was functioning (ringing and accepting text messages etc)...
    The screen has been blank since and have tried things like restoring and hard resets, but this has not worked. a very very vague image appears when in use but it is almost impossible to see.
    Can anybody suggest a way to maybe fix this issue if it is possible?
    If it is not possible would i be entitled to a replacement or free repairs as I have had the phone less than 1 year and should still qualify for the warranty?
    Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced. It sounds like the backlight has failed.
    If it's under warranty, there will be no charge so long as the phone isn't physically damaged.

    Apple TV no longer works after I upgraded the latest patch.  It shows a picture of the USB plugging into iTunes but doesn't do anything.  Can anybody tell me how to either reset Apple TV or explain how to get it working again?

    You need a microUSB cable to connect to computer running iTunes (no other leads).  See:

    can anybody help me please.....

    How did you go about restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service? Also, when you uninstalled iTunes did you uninstall all of its components as well?
    Make sure you're using a rear-facing USB port and also temporarily disable any security software.

    Just create a new AppleID for your work.
    As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
    However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.

  • My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case.  If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

    My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File.  For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!
