IPHONE AND SYNCING FROM ITUNES

07/15/2010 I PURCHASED A SEASON OF A TV SHOW VIA ITUNES. I TRIED TO SYNC THE SHOWS TO MY IPHONE BUT IT WON'T. I DO SEE THAT SEASON OF SHOWS HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND ARE ON MY COMPUTER. HOW CAN I GET THESE SHOWS ON MY IPHONE. I'VE PUCHASED BEFORE AND NO PROBLEM, SYNCED TO IPHONE EASILY BUT NOT NOW.

did u perhaps change your settings to "sync only selected songs/videos" and forget to select that video?
I did that when I went from an 80 G iPod to an 8G iPhone and couldn't just sync the entire music library. Then when I added a new CD to iTunes, I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't sync and then I noticed that....
just a thought

  • Bought a new iPhone 6 and synced from iTunes but vibration doesn't work.

    Bought a new iPhone 6 and synced from iTunes but vibration doesn't work. I did the reset option using side and home buttons but in vain. Please don't tell me to set up a new device coz its gonna be a hassle restoring apps, emails, contacs...etc.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • HELP!!! Syncing iPhone 4 with iTunes says "wants to erase iPhone and sync to iTunes"

    I created a ringtone in iTunes and I wanted to transfer it to my iPhone 4. It says my iPhone is assocated with another iTunes library and it needs to erase the iPhone and sync it with this iTunes. Is it going to erase EVERYTHING on my phone if I click erase and sync or just the music?

    It will erase everything unless you use the iTunes library to which the iPhone was originally synced to.

  • Updating Apps on iPhone via Sync from iTunes

    I am accustomed to updating the apps on my iPhone by first downloading the new versions to iTunes and then syncing my phone. This is how I've done it for years. It no longer works this way. Now, when I download the update to my computer and sync, the iPhone still indicates that apps are waiting to be updated. So then I need to update the iPhone.
    Is there a way to get the updated version of these apps to sync over to iPhone? It was easier that way. If I cannot do this, then can anyone even tell me the purpose of downloading app updates to the computer? If they just sit there without syncing over to the phone, what's the point????

    OK, now it's on. But will this transfer app updates or just new apps? I really don't want to transfer all new apps to my iPhone. My kids often download apps that I don't want on my phone. Let's see what happens...
    You can have it off then if you don't want the kid's stuff.
    With your iPhone selected & connected to Mac iTunes Sidebar (iTunes menu > View > Show Sidebar), check if in Apps pane the apps you're interested in selected?

  • How can I delete a podcast thats only on my iPhone, not synced from iTunes.

    I have two podcast episodes that will not delete from my iPhone. They are from a show that I update (by syncing) everyday and appear on the iPhone (since October) but will not erase or appear on iTunes. Can I delete them straight from the iPhone or do I need to connect it with iTunes to delete? It is more of a nuisance than anything else. Thanks for the help.

    Yes, you can delete from iphone:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
    It is covered in the manual.
    Page 172:
    "Delete a podcast: In the Podcasts list in iPod, swipe left or right over the podcast, then
    tap Delete. "

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    Right click 'computer' in your PC/laptop (whichever).  Click 'Manage', then 'Services and Applications', then 'Services', you should see 'Apple Mobile Device' running or stopped.  If you couldn't find 'Apple Mobile Device', it means you haven't download iTunes into your PC/laptop (whichever).

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

  • Audio books will not sync from itunes to iphone

    I have four audio books on ITunes that at one time were synced to Iphone.  Now they are not on the phone and I can not sync from Itunes, even though they are in Itunes as a purchase.  I have gone to book and audiobooks and checked sync all on both.
    thanks.

    Thank you very much, that worked.  I learned something as I never tryied to right click on my phone in Itunes before.
    Thanks again.

  • Extremely slow sync from iTunes to iPhone 5

    It's taking HOURS (>10 hours so far) to sync my new iPhone 5 to iTunes 10.7.  The process is stalled at "Step 5 of 5 Waiting for items to copy".  I am manually managing content on the phone, and I had a small fraction of my total iTunes content on my iPhone 4 that was deactivated yesterday when my new iPhone 5 became active.  I've tried a restore on the new iPhone 5, shutdown/restart of the computer (new Mac Mini running 10.8.2), hard reset of the iPhone 5, ejecting and reconnecting the iPhone 5.  I'm using the same AppleID as before.
    I've got many greyed-out songs on my iPhone 5.  It appears that all the songs that were on my iPhone 4 have been or are in the process of being moved to my iPhone 5.  The greyed out songs have the double-arrow circular icon next to them on the left side, but the icon isn't moving. 
    The topline message at Step 5 of 5 has changed - now it reads "Syncing Genius Data to Bob's iPhone".  So smething seems to be happening and the process isn't stalled, but it's taking way too long!
    I called Apple Support, and they blame iTunes and had me contact them.  I'm not very satisfied with this, as it doesn't really explain the very long time the sync has taken. 
    Ideas on how to fix this and keep it from happening again would be appreciated.  Is this a one-time thing or will I be faced with this every time I connect to iTunes?

    I had a very similar problem when syncing my iPhone 5 with iTunes 10.7.
    Here's what I did to fix it after spending a whole afternoon reading what others have done:
    - Perform a soft reset on your iPhone by holding down the home key and the power off button until your phone restarts
    - Turn off Airport wifi on your Mac
    - Restart your Mac
    - Turn Airport wifi back on
    Now, try to sync your iPhone.  iTunes should immediately see your iPhone and sync very quickly.
    It works for me.  Just don't ask me why or how it works.
    Good luck!

  • Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

    Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

    You will need a SIM to activate it. There is no way around that. The SIM does not have to be active, but it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked. Once activated, it can be removed and used like an iPod touch, but if you ever have to restore or update iOS, you will need the SIM to re-activate it.

  • Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?

    Why ON EARTH would I want to do this??  Come on Apple, copy protection aside, this is the stupidest prompt in the history of prompts.
    The basic problem (if you Google it) that many many many many legitimate purchaser's of music are running into is this prompt.  And here is why:
    1.  We have an iPhone with a bunch of purchased songs on it and was at one point working with another iTunes library.
    2.  For whatever reason our computer crashes, the computer is gone/sold, not available, dead, pick your poison, it happens.
    3.  We setup a new computer and install iTunes and get a prompt to "Authorize" this computer (apparently we get 5 authorizations total).
    4.  We try to get all the songs from our iPhone back into iTunes and click the Sync button and ...
    5.  We get the following:
    The iPhone "Your iPhone's name" is synced with another iTunes library.  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Really?  This is what I have to do, wipe out all my purchased songs so that iTunes and sync with a new library?  At what point did Apple think this idea was even remotely in the best interest of their customers?  Seriously?
    So now I'm stuck with an iPhone with songs on it, a computer with songs on it, but neither able transfer songs ... Happy Happy Joy Joy.  This is NUTS!?  Why punish people that you can verify they've purchased their songs with this bizarre scheme ... and further more, what if some of my songs on my iPhone were brought in from a valid CD purchase?
    So my only way out of this craziness, is to use a 3rd party app that will hack the transfer for me?  This is good how?  I'm sorry, but at what point did Apple's $40 Billion (yes Billion) profit for 2012 instigated this sort of treatment to valid paying customers?
    So ... here I am, anyone have a solution to this using "valid" means (without losing all my music) or is 3rd party hacks my only option?

    tt2,
    So if I understand you correctly ... I can't move or sync content that was imported via my own CD's that is now on my iPhone back over to my computer?
    Not with iTunes as your only tool, no.
    The ONLY way I can proceed is with an iPhone backup and then restore that iPhone backup to my computer rather than my iPhone?  I assume this will trigger yet another "used activation"?
    No you need a third party tool that will copy your other non-iTunes purchased media and photos not in the cameral roll across to your computer. (Some are listed, you can search the web for others).
    When you have recovered all the media you want you can then backup the iPhone to the computer (this backup ONLY includes application data and settings, and the cameral roll. After you have backed up this data to the computer you can then immediately restore the recently made backup to the iPhone. The data in the backup will obviously be copied back but all media must have been added to the library or it will be removed from the device.
    Your lost computer will count as an "activation" as will the new one. Apple devices don't add to the count. You can reset all your activations (including those you can't physically access) every 12 months should the need arise.
    Am I the only one that thinks this is the most crazy and bizarre process of simply moving a music file from one of my devices to another of my devices?  Especially ones that were imported from CDs.
    You still have the CDs? You can import them again. You sold, gave away, threw away the originals? Technically you no longer have the right to listen to the tracks you ripped. Is it inconvenient? Sure. One might argue that the very reason Apple & iTunes were able to drive the move to digital music to start with is that their system was designed to prevent the casual use of their devices as a means for "the kids" to simply "gift" their music libraries to each other without the tediously time-wasting efforts that the previous generation had to go through with home-taping. This no doubt helped get the content owners on board. Of course memory sticks and portable hard drives now make it trivially easy to copy content from one computer to another and indeed to simply backup your own content against a disaster but most people don't do either. Likewise they don't read instructions or terms and conditions until they are inconvenienced, and then complain. You and I might both wish iTunes made it easier, but it doesn't. And this isn't the place to complain about it. Use iTunes Feedback. You want help, it has been offered. Please read and inwardly digest it all properly this time. It does explain what you need to do to recover your data and safeguard it for the future.

  • Computer says: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on "localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"

    Hi,
    I just bought an I-Phone 5S. When plugging it to my Macbook for the 1st time to copy music from my I-Tunes, this message comes up: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on “localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
    Pls help. I'm always so scared I can loose all my contacts if i am to answer "yes". Also, why am I being told the IPhone is synced with another ITunes Library when it's litterally not been connected to any at all? I dont get it.
    What shall I do?
    Thanks for your help,
    Myzin.

    This would indicate that you bought a Used iPhone and/or have Connected it to another iTunes Library.
    By design an iPhone can only sync to One iTunes Library at a time.
