Iphone 4s / itunes question...

I just got my first iphone and when I look at itunes there are only 700 songs showing. Those songs are only the ones I have purchased through itunes. I have 2500 songs from cd's when I started my itunes account. Why don't they show up? Can I make them?

Follow these instructions: Syncing music to iPod or iPhone, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

New iphone and itunes question

Hi all,
I just upgraded to the 4s from a 3gs. I have synched the new phone itunes. it all seems to be ok except that itunes seems to think that my phone is new every time i connect it. it brings up the lets get started screen. when i go into icloud and send my phone a test message it goes to the old on even though the number i am using for the new phone is the same i used for the old one. so im not sure where i am going wrong. it seems like itunes does not see my new phone as my primary device.
any help is appreciated!

We've run into the "authorization loop" problem with iPhone syncing as well. After moving the user account to the new MacBook Pro, iTunes keeps asking us to authorize the computer, then tells us that it is already authorized (which it should be). When you click "ok" to the already authorized message, it pops up with a new request to authorize the computer.
This was a minor problem with songs purchased with iTunes, but now if we sync the iPhone on the new laptop, it says it will delete all the apps and their data unless we authorize the computer. But we run into the same loop described above. This is a real problem, and if anyone can point me to a good working solution, I'd appreciate it. I hope Apple is listening!

Iphone and itunes questions

When my iphone 4 is connected to my mac book and i try to change some of the settings such as manually manage music for my iphone, when i click the box then hit apply a warning comes up saying are you sure you want to delete 22 apps from my iphone. I only want to change the fact the my iphone automatically syncs with my library every time I plug my phone in. Any ideas?

Well first go to Preferences in iTunes menus and in there is where you turn off auto sync. Manually manage is something else.
Then also choose Transfer Purchased content from File menu to ensure every app on the phone is transfered to iTunes.

Hard drive crash...sync iPhone with iTunes Questions

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10891082#10891082
any info is helpful
thanks

While they are not supported by Apple (use at your own risk) there are likely third party apps that may help. You can do a forum or Google search.
Itunes purchases can be transfered to the new machine - File>Transfer Purchases
Apps can be re-downloaded for free - unlike music.
Pics can be e-mailed to yourself.
If you have at least one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, you should get the option to merge the data.

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

Following is a link to instructions on how to backup (either via iTunes and via iCloud) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

Syncing Apps from Iphone to Itunes and vice versa, quick question.

Hello, so I had a small question to ask about transferring apps from both the iphone to itunes.
Basically, I downloaded an app from the app store ON my iphone.
I've made a lot of progress and have a lot of data in this app.
The(Sync app) box was never checked on my itunes, so I transferred my purchases from my iphone to my itunes, and now i've downloaded a few more apps (over 20mb) ON itunes that I want to put on my iphone.
Thing is, when I click "sync apps" it gives me a warning saying something along the lines of "Apps in itunes will replace all in iphone, including data"
Now, i've already transferred my purchases, so all the apps from my phone are on itunes, but if I sync, will I lose the DATA in my apps on my iphone? Or will the data remain in those apps?
Basically, will syncing my apps replace my settings/data/progress of the apps I have on my iphone?

There is no data in the apps themselves. Your app data is stored in the backup file iTunes creates. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
From Page 179 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iphone_userguide.pdf, "You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data."
So, make a backup before you click the "Sync apps button. Then, you may have to restore your phone from that backup to reload the data.

Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G using iTunes question....

New! Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G with iTunes question
Posted: Aug 14, 2008 9:07 AM Reply Email
So letme get this striaght...
You first create an album in iPhoto 08 with just the images you want put onto your iPhone 3G.
NEXT: you connect tou iPhone 3G and iTunews will open. You go to the iPhone in iTunes and select the photo tag and then select the album you had made for import and sync it with you iPhone. Will large image files automatically be resized for use on the iPhone 3G?
Most of my .JPG files are from 4 -5 MB each in size. What will it do with a RAW image file?

I am not 100% sure, but i BELIEVE that they do get resized because as it's syncing with the iPhone, iTunes will state that it is optimizing the selected photos for the iPhone, just like we would see for the iPod.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I just got a new iPhone and iTunes won't let me make purchases, I don't remember the answers to my security questions. What can I do to reset them?

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

How do I set up my wife's iphone in itunes ,on her user account on same laptop as mine?

Hi, sorry if this is a common question but I couldn't see it pop up when I started typing it...
Basically I already have my iphone working nicely with itunes on my laptop. Up until now my wife has been happy with doing the absolute minimum with her iphone but now wants to get some music put on there,
I've created a user account in her name on my laptop and installed itunes there as well.
I've added some music to her media file.
But when I plug her phone in, nothing happens.
If I then open itunes manually, it shows the music in the library, but there's no option to sync with the phone and nowhere I can see to set it up as a new device etc.
The computer is authorised.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
Many thanks

Hey there RedRock1966,
It sounds like you are unable to see your wifes iPhone in iTunes when you connect it on her account. I would start with this article to help troubleshoot that named:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
If the issue persists, I would use the troubleshooting in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Install software updates on your Mac.
Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Restart your Mac.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How to keep multiple backups of an iphone in itunes

I have two iPhones, both of which are iPhone 4 with latest iOS 6.1.2. Everytime I connect one iPhone with iTunes on my windows-based computer, it generates a new backup on the computer thus now there exist more than ten backups of this iPhone (labeled with different dates in iTunes->Preference->Devices). However, everytime I connect the other iPhone with iTunes, it updates the latest backup on the computer thus now there exist only two backups of that iPhone. I've not found any setting different betwee those two iPhones. Since sometimes I need to restore iPhone from an old backup, how can I explicitly ask iTunes to keep multiple backups like the former iPhone?
I know this can be done manually if I rename the corresponding backup folder in ...\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup. I'm just looking a more "automatic" way in iTunes setting.
Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Why u want to do with CM25?
Do you have to do splitting before dispatching the operations?
If not you can do the same through CM27
Just need to select all the operations of the order(By pressing shift) then click on Dispatch(press F5)
Still iam doubtful about your question,pls revert
Regards,
SVP

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing.

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.
