Iphone 4 wont sync to itunes anymore. Itunes opens then a message comes up saying I need to restore it. I want to avoid doing this as I've noticed some of my purchases since updating itunes are missing from computer but they are on my phone.

I have reset my phone, put the latest updates on itunes and iphone and thought it might work then, but no luck. I am trying to avoid restoring it as I dont want to loose the data I have purchased that is missing off my itunes since I updated that. I'm not sure how to contact itunes to get my data put back on my itunes on computer. All my purcahsed data from itunes still comes up on my phone as it hasnt been able to sync to the update. DOes anyone know how to contact itunes to have bought data re-put back on. It comes up in my itunes acocount with the date and purchase number but these items are missing from my itunes purcahsed items. Weird?
I am on an imac. Is there anyway I can get around the issue of syncing again or should I just restore once I have contacted itunes about them deleting my paid for items! I feel very ripped off, its like buyoing something from target and having the manager come to your house and retrieve it! lol

  • I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this since yesterday. Is this right??

    I've installed iPhoto11 and when opening for the 1st time it says that needs to upgrade my library and it is doing this task since yesterday. Is this right??

    No. Quit and try again. If that fails again,
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Hi there kushfromgbr,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful.
    About SyncServices

    OS X Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later do not use SyncServices. Instead, Mavericks supports sharing your information using several network-based and cloud-based solutions. If you want to sync your information across multiple devices and computers, you should use one or more of these methods. These include iCloud, CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol.

  • When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update.  How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?

    When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update.  How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?
    OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

    It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1.  Here is a link to purchase the update.

  • New iPhone 4s wont sync with iTunes

    Hi All and Happy New Year!
    I purchased a new iphone 4s just before Christmas, and have yet to get it to sync completely with my itunes. I downloaded the newest itunes to my PC, plugged in my new phone and itunes stops responding. Typically i get to step 5, where the phone is syncing my apps. Mainly I'd like to sync my itunes music to my phone. I am using the icloud to backup my contacts and calendar.
    I have removed itunes, and reinstalled, but still no luck.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • Iphone ISO7 wont sync to itunes with OS X 10.5.8

    After installing ISO7 via wifi onto my phone the other day I thought I best sync it to my computer to update everything. Now it wont sync due to it needing itunes11.1 minimum???
    Other threads have said you need Leopard 10.6 to sync but have to buy it!!!! No way in **** should I (or any member of public) have to pay because apple updated there software. Thats a grade 1 joke!!! If thats the case i'd rather have ISO6 back as it was better looking in any case.
    I havent obviously connect it to itunes as im unable so im thinking if I whipe my phone and reconnect it to itunes as a new phone it may just install the old itunes from backup and all be ok but anyone have any suggestions on how else to get over this without paying more into the apple pocket???????

    Is your problem that you do not see your iPod in iTunes? If that is the case try these:

    Also, make sure you update to the latest iTunes and Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is now up to 10.6.5 and you said you only have 10.6.3.

    I downloaded new iTunes verson last night as well as new iphone software update.  However now my itunes won't sync.  I even unstalled itunes and reinstalled it.  It still won't sync.  Can anyone help?

    Try disabling automatic importing to iPhoto: open iPhoto, go to Preferences, on the General tab change Camera Connection Opens to No Application.  Close iPhoto and try syncing again.
