Contacts, texts, photos all fine. Just all itunes content that is missiing. It isn't showing in my itunes account on my computer or on my phone. Any idea how to get it back? (No point synching with itunes on my computer as it isn't there either!)

I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.

I am unable to get beyond the "sync with iTunes" splash page after connecting my iPhone; every tab is grey. What gives?

Is the computer the one the device normally syncs with?
If not, sync with the computer it normally syncs with.
If it is, place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

HT1766 I have the latest version of iTunes. When I plug my iPhone into the computer, it never comes up under the "Devices" tab in iTunes. How can I perform a restore/backup if it won't come up under "Devices" ?

Why cant I see "On this Iphone" tab in Itunes with 5s?

I have just purchased a new iphone 5s and backed it up with a previous iphones data, but when i go to manually manage my music in itunes i cannot see the "On This Iphone" tab which would show me the music list on the iphone. I have plugged in a brand new ipod mini and the tab appears, so it is not my itunes version. Any ideas?

You mean Restored.
Did you then sync the iPhone?
Restoring form a previous backup does not put apps, music/photos etc. onto the new device.

That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

Importing iTunes TV Shows and how they appear on the iPhone tab

I just moved some TV Shows purchased on iTunes from my local computer to a network drive and re-imported them back into iTunes using the file->Add Folder To Library menu.
After doing so, the TV shows tab under the iPhone has duplicate entries for each episode (one for the HD version the other for the SD version). I can only sync the SD versions to the iPhone and previously only the SD versions showed up on the iPhone tab. Although I want both the HD and SD versions in my library, I would like to get back to the iPhone tab showing only the SD syncable versions like it did before. Of course I can go into the iPhone tab and manually deselect the HD version but I should not have to. It ought to be straight forward to get the iPhone to so only the SD ones.
Does anyone know how to do this? I am using iTunes 9.02 and an Iphone 3GS.

It all depends on how your e-mail provider talks to the iPad. Some allow a lot of control, others not so much. My Yahoo works seamlessly between my Touch, iPad and computer. My hotmail, however, won't show up as 'read' on all devices, i have to open it on each one.
Some e-mails will allow you to tweak those settings and let your device alter what's on the server, others won't.
What e-mail program/provider are you dealing with?

ITunes TV Shows are out of order in iPhone tab.

I've been importing a TV Show Season from DVD into iTunes so I can watch the TV show on my iPhone at the gym. Everything works well, the TV shows are imported, I enter the meta-data for each show, title, episode #, etc.... When I look at my TV shows in the TV Shows tab in the side bar, they are all listed in order by episode number. Yet when I go to the iPhone tab in the sidebar, and the select the TV Shows tab to try and sync, all of the episodes are random and in no particular order at all. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it, but I want to watch the seasons in order and now I have no way to do this? Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Just discovered your post, I made a similar post with the same problem, only concerning Podcasts and not TV Shows. I don't think you're being OCD about it at all. It's only logical to expect that if you can put the songs of a music album in a certain order and listen to them that way, that you should be able to do the same with a TV show or Podcast series.
Check to make sure all of the following are set:
Info tab: Track number
Video tab: Show, Season Number, Episode ID, Episode Number
The TV shows on my iPod are in the correct order, but the Podcasts are not. Unexpectedly, I think it may be the Track number from the info tab that keeps them in order. I just removed the track number from an episode and it went out of order.

I can't delete songs off of my iPhone while in the "On this iPhone" tab in iTunes?

Well what I'd like to be able to do is to delete songs while in the "on this iPhone" tab. It's the one that allows you to add songs straight to your phone without going through the trouble of syncing or selecting playlists and all that. I believe it is more convenient to do this than to have only certain things sync because I can add or delete only a couple songs at a time. The issue is that there does not seem to be a delete option in this menu. I've searched and can only find solutions that talk about going through a whole syncing process. Hopefully there is an easy way to delete so I don't have to go through the giant mess of syncing everything.

Hello bval2016,
Thank you for the question. If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone 4s, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
To delete songs from the "On this iPhone" section, highlight the songs and press the delete key on your keyboard. You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod

ITunes 8 Doesn't Recognize my iPhone

Since upgrading to iTunes 8, the application no longer recognizes my iPhone -- so I am unable to sync it. It still shows up in the Windows Explorer and the phone appears perfectly functional. My 80GB iPod video shows up no problem when I plug it in. Additionally, every time I plug in the iPhone, a Windows dialogue box pops up saying "Camera connected" and asking me if I want to launch any of a variety of listed programs. This also happened before I upgraded iTunes; however, I would just hit cancel and there seemed to be no ill effect as it would connect to iTunes with no issue.
Any suggestions?
On a side note, I really should learn not to upgrade to the latest version until a patch to it has come out... this has bitten me far too many times for me to agree to install a new version right away.
Additional info: I just tried it on another computer that has the previous version of iTunes installed. It recognized the iPhone just fine and told me there was a firmware upgrade to 2.1 available but that I would require iTunes 8 to install it. I don't think 'upgrading' both machines to version 8 at this point is a good idea...

I found the answer to my problem:
Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
4. Update the driver:
o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
then click Next.
You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.

I get an error from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone"

I just upgraded to itunes 7.6.0.29, after that got a pop up with a message from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone" and to detach it and try again.
Just for verification uninstalled 7.6 and reinstalled 7.5. The problem went away. Then upgraded the iPod Touch software to version 1.1.3
Thinking that with the new SW version in the iPod maybe the problem went away upgraded again iTunes to 7.6 just to get the same error again.
Any way to "fix" this? or should I re-install 7.5 and wait for 7.7?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there,
follow the following steps below and it shud sort ur problem.
"THE FIRST AND FOREMOST BLUNDER THAT WE HAVE DONE IS OUR ITUNES VERSION SHOULD BE 7.6 IN ORDER TO UPDATE THE IPOD SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE TO 1.1.3 FROM WHAT EVER OLDER VERSION WE HAVE."
*MAKE SURE THE ACTUAL EXISTING VERSION OF THE ITUNES ON YOUR
COMPUTER/LAPTOP
STEP 1:Friends what I have done is I disconnected my IPOD from my laptop and
firstly downloaded the ACTUAL (EXISTING OLDER) ITUNES version (7.5) that I
initially had while i was DOING THE BLUNDER OF UPDATING THE FIRMWARE TO
1.1.3.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE OLDER VERSIONS FROM THIS SITE:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?3694
STEP 2: Once the ITUNES (older version) dump is available on your computer
uninstall the ITUNES and all the IPOD related stuff from your computer
from Start>Control panel>ADD/Remove programs.
Step 3: Restart ur computer and reinstall that older version ITUNES software
again.
Open the ITUNES software.
Step 4: Now connect your IPOD and the ITUNES will prompt you that an IPOD in
recovery mode is detected. It will ask you if u want to recover it to the
factory settings by clicking on "restore" under the "summary" tab on
ITUNES. Before doing this the very important step we need to do is to
UPDATE THE ITUNES VERSION FROM THE EXISTING OLDER VERSION TO 7.6 WHICH IS
VERY IMPORTANT.
STEP 5: To do this click on the HELP menu on the top and click on CHECK FOR
UPDATES. Thats it the ITUNES will be updated to latest version which will
allow us to update the IPOD'S FIRMWARE to 1.1.3 as well.
STEP 6: Now go to the summary tab of the IPOD and click on restore> wait for the
restoration process to carry on and the IPOD should be running back to
normal.
WELL FRIENDS THIS WHAT I HAVE DONE ON MY IPOD AND THE PROBLEM IS SORTED.
I HOPE THIS SHOULD SORT YOUR PROBLEMS AS WELL.

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.
