IOS 5 & iTunes upgrade 12/11/2011

Since upgrading my iPhone 3GS and ipAD 2 and iMac to iOS 5 update yesterday I no longer have any music in the iTunes library on either iPhone or iPad 2. Also all my Apps have reappeared on my iPhone despite deleting some on my iTunes library.

Same here, and I have a 3gs too.

Confused: IOS = iTunes? No/yes?

Ok I have the iPhone 4, love it, love it, love it. Works very well! I've had it since Feb thru Verizon. I hook it to iTunes once in a while. I've seen the discussions about upgrading IOS & then basically your phone is useless. Well when I hooked up my phone to iTunes this am it said an upgrade was available. I said cancel -huge red flag after reading stuff on here. But then I was wondering -are the iTunes upgrades what's killing everyone's phones? I'm due to upgrade to iTunes 4.2.8 but am really apprehensive about it. My theory is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not having any issues downloading apps or them not working. Would I be better off to leave well enough alone? Does IOS & iTunes upgrade mean the same thing?

You mean you came to a support forum and found people talking about problems. That is what it is here for, people really only make a noise when something isn't right.
When you buy a new car and have issues with it you complain to the dealer for as long as the issue is current, (or maybe even longer). If that car was absolutely perfect how many times do you think you'd be making a trip to the dealer to shake his hand?
That said, it's your device and it's difficult not to be swayed by negativity. Just bear in mind that many thousands of people, (or more even), have had no upgrade problems at all.
Although I can only guess at that number and can't speak for anybody else on here, one thing I can confirm is that there have been at least two trouble free upgrades. In Apples IOS history. Mine and my partners.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

Itunes taking more time to Sync after IOS 6 upgrade

itunes taking more time to Sync apps data after IOS 6 upgrade in iphone 4s. Also itunes is getting hanged and is very slow. I tried twice and still having the same issue.

I also noticed that. Even with a cable connection. Just a small pdf file hangs forever.
Forever ... 12/15 seconds maybe? It's a long time really, for such a small sync.
File transfer not so much! That behaves normally here, as one would expect with iOS5 and previous versions before iTunes 10.7.
It's the first steps. Doing whatever it is doing. Those are definitely slower now. It takes a while until it starts the actual transfer.

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes.

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes. Apparently I cannot downgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone. Please tell me I don't have to pay anything to be able to use my products......

Which version of iTunes?
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Unless this is a new iPhone 5 I believe the older ones will work with iOS6 and iTunes 10.6.3. If it won't, you will need to upgrade operating system version.

After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

Cannot load iTunes on ipad after iOS 7 upgrade

Why does itunes not lauch on ipad 2 after iOS 7 upgrade?

I had the same problem as kurt185. But now I found the solution. It is a bug in the iTunes app:
You have to go to Settings>Safari>BlockCookies and must change from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers".
After that iTunes works perfectly.

The itunes ios 5 upgrade ate my entire "My Documents" contents.. now what?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

After iPad ios 5 upgrade, itunes "interrupted while restoring" restore gets error -50. iPad starts in 'configure' mode - can I configure as 'New iPad' and then restore?

After iPad ios 5 upgrade on Win7 64bit pc (x386 iTunes), iTunes gave me error "iTunes was interrupted while restoring, restore again now?" I try to restore but iTunes immediately gives error -50. Apple website says -50 is a timeout, but I have tried all fixes: changed usb ports, new cable, reset iPad, restart pc, remove sim... no good.
iPad starts in 'configure' mode, but won't restore from any of the several iTunes backups I have. Ready to giveup on 'restore'! iPad is sync'ed in iTunes, connects and syncs ok, so I don't want to lose that info.
Can someone from Apple advise - can I 'configure' as 'New iPad' and then restore or sync to recover my Apps and data etc? OR if I 'Restore' from iTunes 'Summary' tab, will I still be able to Sync to restore the iPad Apps and data?
I'm seeing a lot of frustrated Apple users online, hoping that a fix for this problem will help a few of us!! An iOS upgrade should not cause this much pain and wasted effort.

You might already have tried all of these, but just in case:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
2. If you're on a Windows PC, consider uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime, restarting the PC, then reinstalling. This sometimes fixes oddities.
3. Make sure you have no firewall or anti-virus running/active.
4. Try different USB cable; if you're using a cable via a hub, try connecting without the hub. On desktop PCs, the direct (non-internal-hub) USB sockets are usually at the back.
5. If yoiu haven't already done so, download the iOS5 update via the direct links I posted above
6. If using Update doesn't work, use Restore. Option-click (Mac) or Shift-Click (Windows) the Restore button in itunes.
7. Before you to the Restore, right-lick the entry for your device in iTunes and choose Backup from the drop-down menu. You may need this backup later.
If you're srtuck in recovery mode:
- There are some tips here for Windows users
http://thehowto.wikidot.com/ipad-stuck-recovery-mode
- If your device is stuck in Recovery mode, you can try putting it into DFU mode, from which iTunes should be able to Restore, as above. Details here:

Phone frozen after itunes upgrade

Ran the itunes upgrade today. My phone was connected to the computer at the time. Got a text message during the intall and called a friend. Phone has been frozen ever since. Tried to do a restore but cannot. Get an error saying the phone is in "recovery mode". When I run the restore get an "unknown error" message. The only thing that is visible on my screen is the itune logo and the usb cable, suggesting I should connect the phone to itunes. Followed all the suggestion to restore on two computers and no dice! What up Apple?!

if you have taken back up of the iphone before you attempted software update, then yuor photoes are already in itunes as back up. After getting it jailbroken, i synced my phone with itunes and got all the data, including games, data, emails and everything from itunes.
So iOS 6 has issues with software, rather i feel apple has done it with an intention so that people can replace the same handset for USD 200.
hi Apple team, please dont penalise customer for bugs in your software. There are millions you trust you as company of repute, I am unfortuanetly happy after jailbreaking iphone 3GS.

Problems after itunes upgrade.

I recently upgraded itunes to the current version on two of my windows/xp pc's.
On the first one I didn't have any problems.
On the second one, after the pc rebooted, all of the personal settings for the administrator account that was used to do the upgrade were gone, and the itunes library for the account was gone.
After some looking around on the pc, I found that the path for My Documents for the account had been changed from C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\My Documents to C:\Document and Settings\TEST\My Documents.
Everything under the original path for the account is still there, so all I need to do is get the My Documents path pointed back to where it originally was, but when I try to do this, I get a message saying that the path I am trying to point to is not authorized.
Does anyone know why the itunes upgrade would have changed the My Documents path? And does anyone know how I can change it back to where it should be pointing to?

Good news
I had no problems updating my ipod and iphone to iOS4. But all I wanted was the folder option, I knew that my 3G does not support multitasking due to the slower CPU and build in memory.
Here's a little help to decide about your update, in case you haven't see this yet.
Enjoy your ipod.
Compatibility
The iOS 4 Software Update works with the second- and third-generation iPod touch. Not all features are compatible with all devices.
Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.
Books are available on the iBookstore. Title availability is subject to change.
Faces works only with iPhoto on the Mac.
