I lost my hardrive, got new computer, tried to sync with itunes and my personal music (not purchased) does not show up. Do i have to re-download all my personal music once again?
I lost my hardrive, got new computer, reloaded itunes, tried to sync with ipod nano and only my purchased music shows up - how do I get my downloaded music back. message says ipod is sync'd with other library - the one I lost on my old computer! Help!
Sue,
I recommend an external drive to maintain your music. All your purchases are held in iCloud...so redownloading should be easy. Also, Home sharing is a great way to transfer to a new computer, but in the case of hard drive failure your options are limited. Home sharing is specifically for transferring to another pc. Good luck!

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!
In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer. -

My new ipod won't sync with itunes and does not show on windows
Hi
I got a new ipod nano gen 7 to replace 2 old ipods that were stolen. the problem is that it won't sync at all. When I plug it in it charges, but my windows 7 browser doesn't see it, and neither does my itunes. I have Mcafee security and I have updated itunes, windows and checked my mcafee settings as per other users issues on the web and it still isn't working! If I plug it into another computer though it works fine.
Have tried - resetting ipod, downloading upgrades, switching firewall off.
No idea what else i can do!

Several times and with several different iPods I've been trying to sync with iTunes and it gets to 653 of 661 and freezes up. Nothing will work I have to power down and reboot. Even if I do a smaller selection with just a few songs it is freezing up a few songs away from finishing. I've updated and run diagnostics, now both my iPods are empty and I can't figure out what to do next. Can anyone help me out here?
Try this,
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I have a new iphone 5. Trying to sync with itunes on my computer. Prior to plugging in new phone i made sure my other phone had synced with computer so all data was current. My old iphone does sync with cloud. When i plug in my iphone 5 for syncing it gets to step 5 and continues on for eternity...it has never completed syncing. This has been over a hour. Any ideas...ps old phone 4s backed up to cloud also and syncs would only take a minute or 2.
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
It's so annoying!! I have created a new Apple ID but after I click verify it just goes back to the previous page!!! It''s really frustrating I have tried for more than 4H, and the problem is not about the apple ID. I can download apps with the apple ID, which means IMessage is the problem! I restarted my iPad, I logged in and out of the apple ID in the store, AND YET IT STILL WON'T WORK, PLEASE HELP!
Hi Vmanfromusa!
It sounds like you are having an issue with activating your iMessage app on your iPad. An article outlining some troubleshooting steps for this issue can be found here:

I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode". Seems like the only option is to restore? Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?
No.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

IPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes
iPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes.
Since IOS 8, my iPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes on my Mac. It will start running the backup and reboot, it will reboot many times when updating packages. It can take 12 hours to finish a sync with the mac. The phone gets hot during this. I keep deleting more and more pictures and apps, hoping that maybe it doesn't have enough space, but iTunes shows I have 4.9 Gbytes free, which I think should be enough. I am on IOS 8.0.2, I thought maybe I would try to upgrade to the latest IOS today, but I am worried that I will end up with a non working phone.
Is anyone else having these problems?
EdWell thats Od... I have never experienced that problem.. Maybe you should try to backup your phone and then wipe it by going to Settings<General<Reset

My new iphone won't sync with itunes
I bought the iphone while on holiday in the US, promised by salesperson that the phone was unlocked. Back home in Australia, put my Virgin SIM into the phone. No service. Tried to sync with itunes, no go. Message says that SIM is not authorised. Does this mean that the sales person lied to get a sale? How can I get it unlocked if this is the case?
I have downloaded all the latest updates for iphone and itunes.
Help..You're welcome.
Apple began selling the iPhone as officially unlocked via their online store on June 14th and I assume the same was/is available via Apple's retail stores as well. This is not available via Apple's official retailers in the US such as at Best Buy, Walmart, and Radio Shack stores.
Doubtful if this mobile shop in NY is an official Apple retailer for the iPhone but regardless, they would not be selling the officially unlocked iPhone.
There is nothing indicating ATT anywhere on the retail sales box?
If it shows ATT as the carrier when selecting the phone icon - I'm not sure what this means since my iPhone does not show ATT when I select the Phone icon with my iPhone which is carrier locked with ATT, this obviously means you did not purchase an unlocked iPhone. If this iPhone is unlocked, it was hacked to be unlocked.
The Apple store there will not help. The iPhone's warranty is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only.
Why didn't you purchase an iPhone in your country where it is sold as officially unlocked and where you would have Apple support and a warranty? -
Help! New Computer, trying to sync
So, I downloaded I Tunes to my new computer, no problem. Authorized it with the ITunes Store, no problem, the problem is, (Sorry if this is a stupid question), I am trying to sync and put all my music currently on my I Phone on to the ITunes in my new computer. But whenever I select Sync, this message appears saying: "Are you sure? all music on I phone will be erased and replaced with music on I Tunes (which is none). How do I transfer my music from my I Phone to I Tunes on my new computer?

I would like to know if there is a way to update the phones software using the new computer without loosing the music that is already on the iphone.
Not unless you have access to the original iTunes library where the music is stored.
the update process involves backing up the phone to the last computer that it synced with, deleting the entire phone content, updating and then restoring the phone.
If you cannot create a backup before updating, you will lose the phone content. You need to be able to back the phone up first - have you never synced it with iTunes on a computer ?
