Is it necessary to back up music on iCloud, or does it just use storage? I still want my music to sync but does iCloud have to be on to do so...

Thoughts?

You can't use iCloud back up to back up your music, iCloud isn't involved when you sync your music.

I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not. Current software on Mac and iPod.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

HT1535 The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?

Edit: classic Apple.

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

I recently purchased an iPad Mini. I went to sync it to my Mac Book, and everything synced up except my music. It keeps showing that the music is syncing, but once it is complete, I have no music on my iPad. Everything else synced up fine. How do I iPad?

How do I sync my iTunes Library to my iPad mini. I have an iPhone 4, and a Mac Book. Those synced fine. Everything else is syncing, but my music. Help!

Do you have your itunes for ios account set up on your ipad? And when you sync with your Mac Book are you doing it via itunes on your Mac Book? (When we got ipads, we had to set up an ios itunes app so it would sync to get music from itunes.)

Back up music on computer but Ipod won't sync my music to itunes library

I backed up all of my music on my computer in the "My Music" folder. I did a restore on my ipod. Now itunes won't pick up my music saved to the My Music folder. I've reinstalled Itunes and restored the ipod a few times, but no matter what, it only picks up 300 of my 2009 songs. Please help.

Drag the folder with the music into the open iTunes application window.

We have an Apple id that has a bunch of purchased music on it, but our children have changed the account details and the password, and the secret questions and now we can't remember any of that information, even our birthdays are not correct. HELP???

we have an apple ID that was set up in my wife's name. The kids have changed the account details and no-one can remember the password. They have also changed the account data and none of our birthdays are recognised by apple. We have no way of re-setting the account. The secondary email address we used when setting up the account is no longer accessible so even this option doesnt work..
What can we do as we have a large amount of purchased music on this account???

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

HT4623 how do i back up my iphone 4 that does not have any current upgrades

My Iphone 4 still has system version 4.2.10. How do I back it up so I don't lose my current apps and notes and pictures on my phone and then how do I get all the current software?

Follow the instructions in the article from which you posted this question.
It explains in detail how to upgrade from the device (if running iOS5) and how to upgrade from iTunes on the computer for all versions of iOS.

How to i get my norton toolbar back??????? Just downloaded 7.01 and want my norton toolbar back

how do i get the norton toolbar back? Just installed firefox 7.01. If u guys can't support the number one security tab i'll switch to a different browser!

If only it was that easy. I've done all the updates and reboots and it still isn't there. I don't have time to keep doing this with no result. I used to love Firefox and recommended it to all my friends. But now I'm very reluctantly going back to IE because Norton Identity Safe is irreplaceable ... and Firefox (with its constant warnings to upgrade) isn't.

Hi! I accidentally deleted my app store from the phone....how to retrieve it back...pls help me...just using the iphone

Hi everyone
I am a new user of iphone 4...i've accidentally deleted the app store from the iphone...pls tell me how to retrieve it back...pls help...tq

To restore the missing App Store Icon, or other original Apple Icons on the iPhone, go to Settings / General / Reset (Don't worry, you will be presented with a number of options concerning resetting before anything happens. The iPhone will NOT reset just by selecting this option).
Choose "Reset Home Screen Layout". This will restore the App Store Icon as well as other Apple Icons you may have removed or placed into folders.
Please note. This also removes any folders you have set up and rearranges all of the apps you have, so it takes awhile to put everything back where it was.
Unfortunately, I did not capture the placement of my Icons, so I had to recreate from memory...not that big a deal. If you elect to follow this procedure, make a note of where all of your icons are placed and then proceed.
I followed links that talked about restoring through iTunes...never could make anything like that work. This is a quick and simple fix.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.
