Iphone to computer sync not working

i just purchased a new desk top. my old one was windows xp. this one is windows 7. i installed itunes, but cannot get the stuff from my iphone into the itunes library on my computer. i was able to sync the items purhcased on my ipod, but i can't get everything else. HELP???? i haven't had this issue in the past with getting a new computer and reinstalling itunes.

Hi, sorry to butt in on your conversation, but you sound like you might know the answer to my question too. I was recently away, without my laptop and I purchased a seried of tv episodes via my iphone. This is all well and good, I used wireless to downlaod the new episodes and they are on my phone and they play which is great, but I am unable to shift them from my iphone to my computer, even though it's synced with the same account. Is there anything I can do about it? Or should I just complain to Apple directly? Its reidiculous. Fair enough if they were purchased from someone else, but when I purchased them and I cant even move them between devices synced with the same acount? very annoying! I dont want to delete them but they are taking up too much space on my device. Any ideas?

  • My computer crashed hard drive was replaced and now I have lost my music.  Am trying to sync with my music from my iPad and iPhone but it is not working what is the problem

    I need help please!  My computer crashed lost all data including my music.  Want to sync music from my ipad and/or iphone but it is not working.  What could be the problem how do I tackle it?

    Syncing only works from your computer to your iPad/iPhone, not the other way around.  So you can only transfer your purchased music from the iPhone to your computer.

    How bad was the crash? Had the drive to be replaced? Or is there a possibility to use data recovery software on that drive?

  • Wifi Sync not working on iOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 with iPhone 4S

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit but WiFi Sync is not working on either my iPhone 4S or my wife's iPhone 4S.  Worked fine before upgrading.  All settings look correct in iTunes 10.7 and on our iPhones 4S's.  Already tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple programs (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc) and reinstalling iTunes but no help.  Temporarily disabling Norton Firewall did not help.  If I hook up either of our two 4S phones via USB wire, they Sync and Backup fine.  Just WiFi Sync not working.  Can't initiate sync from iPhones because button is ghosted stating it is waiting for PC to be present.  Phones don't show up under Devices in iTunes unless hard-wired via USB cable.  Any suggestions?

    I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

  • Aperture to iPhone sync not working

    I am trying to sync photos from Aperture to my iPhone and something is not working. The photos and albums that show up in iTunes when I select the iPhone are old and have been deleted from Aperture. Most of them are sample bird photos that came with Aperture. Those are long gone but they still show up in iTunes and my new albums don't. iPhoto sync works though. Any suggestions on what to try would be appreciated.

    If I had this problem, I'd try shaking things up by following instructions to create a new Aperture library, and then checking whether iTunes reflects the projects of the new library. If so, there's a good chance the problem will correct itself when Aperture is instructed to open the main library.
    I'd also see if there's an old library on my hard drive (with the demo bird photos) and I would delete that library and check whether iTunes now lists no projects at all.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Good luck.

    No sound through stereo headset1
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    Best of luck,

  • ITunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working.

    iTunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working. Updated to IOS8.0 (not running 8.0.1) a few days go but was fine up until today. Now, when attempting to play a list of songs (artist, playlist or album) it rapidly shuffles through all of them without playing and then it displays a red square next to songs and won't play them at all. It seems to sync with my MBP but then new playlists I've created don't appear on the iPhone even though iTunes on the MBP has them appearing when I click the "on my iPhone tab. Tried the obvious quit and restart approach. No effect. Does anyone have any ideas?

    It's not a hardware problem. The same exact thing just happened to me. My husband reset all settings, not erase all content and settings, after the phone started back up, everything worked like normal again. You just have to redo your settings.
    General>Reset>Reset all settings
    Hope this helps you!
