I synced my iPhone and lost purchased songs
I synchronized my iPhone yesterday and realized that recently downloaded song disappeared after the sync.
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

Syncing my iphone and lost my song ratings and play counts
Hi,
everytime I lost all the song ratings that I made and play counts in my iphone and my mac itunes overwrites with its one...
so if I want to have a 5 stars song I have to rate in the Mac to keep in the iphone.... but I want to change it I have to do it again in my itunes in my mac
do you where I could change the preference from MAC to Iphone?
thanks in advance
Im kinda newbie on this thing
I have a MacBook Pro
Itunes 11.0.5.
iphone 4s
IOS 6.1.3JoeleMoore,
You just need to re-authorize your computer to play those purchases, then they will be able to sync to your iPhone.
1. Open iTunes.
2. From the Store menu (at the top of the iTunes window), choose Deauthorize Computer.
3. Enter your Apple ID and password and click Deauthorize.
4. From the Store menu (at the top of the iTunes window), choose Authorize Computer.
5. Enter your Apple ID and password and click Authorize.
6. Repeat these steps for each Apple ID you use.
Hope this helps,

I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks
It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine. -
Synced my iPhone and lost some data
Synced my iPhone and lost some data (not all) in contacts. Sync worked before. How do I get back to before sync?
You're welcome.
Does having Outlook 2007 mean you are syncing your iPhone Contacts with Outlook 2007 and the contacts were lost there as well?
If so and if your routine computer backup includes your Outlook data, restore your Outlook contacts from your Outlook data backup. -

I had my computer worked on recently. When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes. I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?
Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone. -
I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?
Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

I just purchased a new computer and downloaded I tunes but when I go to sync my iphone and ipad touch my library from my old computer doesn't show up on the new one. Only the purchased itune songs come up. How do I get my original itunes library?
Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

I had to restore my iPhone and lost a lot of music!!! How can I get it back?! No cloud appears next to the songs, just buy!
You should be storing everything on your computer and you should always backup your computer. Have you failed to do these things?
If so, not good, then you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries. Open iTunes store, click Purchased under Quick links -

In iTunes, go to File>Add File to Library or File>Add Folder to Library.

I synced my iphone and have now lost all of my contacts and calendar data. How do I get this back?
It should all be on your computer in whatever program you have been syncing.

i was on windows 7 and i had to format my computer i put windows vista on and when i downloaded itunes and sync my iphone i lost all my photos music and apps that was on my phone,my itunes account says i have got to accounts on two computers?? is there anyway i can get anything back? please help me. i have tried restore to back up but it is the same????
If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child. -
i updated my iphone and lost all my notes there is lots of important notes, how can i get em back especially that on itunes when i sync my iphone a note appear that there is no back up on icloud,and i cannot restore?
Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes. Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

I have two ext HDD intended to ensure I don't lose my photos( iPhoto 08). I disconnected my HDD temporarily when relocating.
I then synced my iphone and iPhoto it seems has rebuilt the library from the old copy of the library (2011. I have Time Machine but I can't restore the last 3y photos as I guess Time machine does not back up the other HDD.
Any chance of finding my treasured photos somebody?Sounds like you have another iPhoto library someplace - under no conditions would iPhoto revert a library to an older one - you just need to find and open the correct one
Depress and hold the option key, launch iPhoto and use the resulting select library to look st the libraries you have
