I Lost my contacts . I don't sync. Why should I have too? Very frustrating. I read on this forum iPhone was designed to work with computer. Then I guess this phone is not for me.
My fb and my iMessage would not open. So I turned of my phone and turned it back on. Bang ! They were gone. Funny how I never have problems with my itouch.

Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.

I was syncing music to my phone and when i plugged it in my pictures were gone and left me with only the ones i had on my previous iphone how can i get them back

I was syncing music to my phone and when i plugged it in my pictures on my phone were gone and gave me the pictures i use to have on my old iphone how can i get my pictures back

This did not happen by syncing with iTunes alone. The Camera Roll is not included or touched with the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that has been used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up as a new iPhone or don't transfer the backup for the previous or old iPhone. You chose the former, which replaced the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with the Camera Roll for your previous iPhone. This was followed by a sync with iTunes.
If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with your computer as with any other digital camera before you chose to transfer the backup for your old or previous iPhone to your new iPhone, the photos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are gone.

Rip CD not showing up in Library and I don't want to sync with devices

I would like to rip CD's to my iTunes Library but I don't want to sync with devices. Ripped CDs are not showing up in the physical folder location I have designated in the Preferences Tab...t's an exyernal drive...Any help would be appreciated...

As you know, you can designate an external drive to be your iTunes Media folder location. However, if you ever start iTunes when the external is disconnected or unavailable, iTunes will revert back to the local drive.

I don't want to sync my new ipod nano with all my music on my mac. i only want to put on certain albums. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

i want to add music to my new ipod nano but i don't want to sync all the music onto the nano from my mac. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

Hello,
It is 2015 and iTunes still wants to tell me what to listen to. This problem still persists. The only solution I have found is to select "Manual ..." and pick one by one the items to sync.
When I select items to sync by artist or genre they do copy to the device. Then iTunes continues randomly selecting music until the device is full. When I want to load the Nano for a road trip I don't want 20% of the tracks to be Chakra meditation. When little Nano is docked on the nightstand alarm clock I DON'T want to hear Motorhead, Ministry, etc.
For all the effort aPple puts into seamless integration and ease of use ... Why the heck is it so hard to say NO? Sync these tracks and NOT those. Stop asking me to log in to your cloud service BTW. I do not want it.
Thanks,
Disgruntled Sour aPple User

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps

I DON'T want to sync my apps, why do I have to?

I had large apps downloaded (TomTom GPS, etc) on my 3GS, and I never had them backed up. I got an iPhone 4 today, and for some reason, when I re-downloaded and did my first sync, it is making me sync them to my MacBook.
I don't want GB's upon GB's of apps on my computer, because they take up too much space that I don't need/want on my MacBook.
I've tried manually managing music/videos, un-clicking sync apps, EVERYTHING, and no matter what, my apps keep on re-syncing to my iPhone, and then getting deleted when I don't want to sync them, help me out or I'll probably end up selling this thing (which I don't want to do)!

Very few apps - very few are 500MB in size. Most apps are very small in size. If you have 4 apps on your iPhone now with each being 500MB in size, I'd like to know the apps. A GPS app will be much larger than the overwhelming majority of apps since maps are included with the app.
If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, an app downloaded with your iPhone should not be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
If you don't have the apps available in your iTunes library, if you restore your iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, you will need to re-download every app on your iPhone again one by one and you will probably lose all 3rd party app settings and any data created and stored by a 3rd party app.

I don't want to sync my ipod touch applications!!!!

I downloaded a bunch of applications directly using my ipod touch. Later, I connected it to my computer to update music and itunes began to sync all those applications and copied them from the ipod to the computer. When I selected that I don't want to sync applications, itunes proceeded to delete all of them from my ipod.
I don't sync my music or videos and I manipulate the content manually. I should be able to do the same with my applications. I don't need them on the computer. I just want to be able to use them on the ipod.
The entire thing makes no sense. I downloaded apps to my ipod, the only place that I can and will use them and yet I am forced to always transfer them to my computer, where they are of no use. And on top of that, they get deleted from the ipod if I don't want to sync.
Isn't there any way around this? Shouldn't there be a way to manually manage applications? If there is, I don't see it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I think the idea is that an application downloaded directly to the iPod from the store is backed up into iTunes and then copied back onto the iPod. This way, if you lose the content of the iPod (one example, due to a restore) the application (that you have paid for - no differentiation between free and paid!) is not lost.
The basic premise of an iPod is that it's a copy of your iTunes Library, and it's always recommended that your iPod is not the only place your content is stored.

I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
Pasted from another thread
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

DON'T Want to sync contacts

I have two Macs and an iPhone; the two Mac are one at home and one at work. I want my iPhone and home Mac to sync up and they do nicely. However the problem comes with my work Mac-- the ONLY thing I want to sync to my work mac is my Notes.
The only way I've been able to do this is via iCloud which works fine for the Notes, however even though I have everything except notes diabled I still have a problem with my home contacts appearing at work and vice versa. I do NOT want this at all; my work and home lives are completely separate and I do not need a work contact accidentally getting emails meant for a home contact and vice versa. However nothing I can find will allow me to fix this.
How do I get my contacts to stay separate?
As a clarification, my address books are not syncing but it's the previous recipients list in my Mail apps that are getting synced. If I remove someone from my previous recipients it does it for both home and work, even if I only do it on one. At this point I'd be willing to clear all previous recipients if that'll help (if you can even do that), but I have a feeling that things would continue to sync after that unless I change something else.

I apologize for the delay. I did this on my work email and I'll see if my personal email previous recipients start showing up again.
I've also noticed that spam email that I've never responded to other than to delete is also showing up in my previous recipients list. It's getting massively frustrating.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2. When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing). If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad. I don't know why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.
