I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new. I pressed old and lost recent photos and apps. what can i do to undo this mess
An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes. In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps. Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?
So, what i need to is
1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
Is it correct?
After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
Or need to do manually?
Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?
You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes
My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes using a new user account on my PC. Nothing is syncing, but iTunes keeps telling me it has synced. My ulitmate goal is to backup contacts, etc. before updating the phone's software.
You need to use the same Apple ID you used when you synced your contacts intitially.
That kind of data cannot be transferred to another account nor can accounts be merged. -
Please can anyone help? I am trying to sync my iphone music with itunes, but am finding that as soon as the sync is complete the data bar shrinks back from almost full (my entire music library) to just 100 songs, which happen to be the contents of one playlist I have. i cannot seem to change the music content on my phone no matter what? PS when I hit sync the capacity bar fills up, but when I apply, it drops back to just those songs I already mentioned :- (
thank you randers4, unfortunately these restrictions aren't to blame. Now I realise the problem - I tried to play some of the music and found out that the source data wasn't attached. The computer was rebuilt and backed up - and it seems perhaps hasn't all been copied back. I am currently attempting to copy accross some itunes files from my backup drive. Bit confused, too many itunes files of different types but fingers crossed getting closer to the solution......?

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -

I can not sync my iphone with Itunes 5c
took several days trying to sync my iphone with itunes and I can not ...... When I connect the iphone itunes does not recognize it and after a few minutes a message appears Error
What's the full error message that you are getting (and is this on your computer or phone ?), and are you using a PC or a Mac - and is your computer's operating system and iTunes up-to-date ?
There is some troubleshooting for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :
PC : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Mac : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
If they don't fix it then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Mac or iTunes For Windows forum on here (this forum is for questions about the iTunes store). -
I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes for Windows. Even if the computer is authorized, it keeps on displaying an error message that tells that this computer is not authorized. I already tried to do the resolutions you have given in case this situation happens.
It's an endless circle.
See if these instructions help: iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases -
Trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I am getting this message:"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the ipod"... I have deauthorized and reauthorized the account and still getting the same error. I have read and followed the instructions in the support article TS1389. I do NOT have an SC info folder at /Users/Shared/ directory to delete.
I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4. First attempt to sync since upgrade.
Thanks
DanYup,
Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
Yes I am very, very, very mad. -
I'm trying to sync my iPhone with my iTunes account, but they are on two different emails, help!
I really don't know what this means.
What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail? and for what reason?
Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.
As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it. There is nothing else we can suggest. -
I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?
I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

I have imported a new CD into my iTunes library on my PC. When I sync my iPhone with iTunes (on my pc), I don't get the new songs (or new CD). I have them on my PC but not on my iPhone. This just started to act this way. It was working in January 2013.
Read this on how to do that https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
