IPhone vanishes from iTunes
In the last couple of weeks I have been having a hard time syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. When I place the phone in the dock it starts charging right away, but sometimes it doesn't show in the itunes device list. Other times it does show for a few moments and then vanishes, without any error message, even half way through a sync operation. I have to remove it from the dock and place it again several times, until I finally get it to completely backup and sync. I have iTunes 9.0.3 and the iPhone has OS 3.1.3.
Is anybody having the same problem?
Thanks.
Thank you for your help. Yes, I had the dock connected through a USB hub. I have been testing different connection setups and I now believe that the problem is in the USB hub (and not the dock), although it doesn't happen every time. Probably some conflict with some other device, but I can't say which one. Still, when connected directly to the macMini USB port works without any problem.
Thanks again.

Hello.
I did not touch my computer the past week, I've only been messing with my laptop. I had my computer off a whole day. I turn it on, open iTunes, and everything is gone.
Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data . -

how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?
You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone, please help!!
You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here. -
How do I remove data from my broken iPhone 3GS from iTunes, iCal, contacts?
Help .....
I recently fried my iPhone 3GS and the data used to be synced using iTunes. I have iPad and iMac, which data are synced using iCloud. The data in iMac are duplicated by the iPhone and iPad. Can any one guide me how to remove the iPhone data from iTunes, iCal and address book please. ThanksTurning your email off in settings doesn't remove the email from your account. You have to delete it from your device or from icloud.com, then empty the trash to remove it from your account. Same thing with contacts.
This article provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 -

Can't add music to iPhone 5 from iTunes 11
I am trying to manually add music to my iPhone 5 from iTunes 11. After dragging and dropping music onto the device, it appears under the music section of the device, except it is greyed out. I can't play the music, and when I check on the phone, the music isn't there.
I figured it out...
Go to the playlist on your computer that you want to add to your device.
1. Hightlight the song so you see the arrow and click on it.
2. Click "Add To" and select the device and playlist you want to add it to.
You may have to create a new playlist on the device first and THEN add the music from your computer to the device.
Or highlight all the songs, right-click on the selection, and tell it to add to the playlist on the device...

I installed iphone 5 from itunes back up and get a pop up [ ! ] app not installed can not find file. I have looked through everything that have with "CANADA" in the app title. That is the only info there is.
If you haven't found out which app it is then if you go into list view in the Apps part of your library do any of the apps have an exclamantion mark against them ? If they do then they are the one(s) that iTunes can't find the actual app file(s) for - if you delete that app from your library then if it is still in then you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can just download it directly on your phone via the Purchased tab in its App Store app
