I updated to Ios5 on Ipad2 but all pictures on computer did not sync back

I updated Ipad2 to Osi5 but all my pictures did not sync back. How do I get them all back

I had to Restore the iPad (rather than update), then Restore from Backup.
Aftere it booted, there was nothing on it except default stuff. I had to select Sync and it put everything back on as it was.

I spent hrs fixing my iTunes since I did the update and it wiped out everything! I have put all of my iTunes on my external hard drive and it works but I got a new computer. I installed iTunes on the new computer but now the folders on my ehd are empty!

I am having a very hard time. First I finally got all of my music back into iTunes and then moved them all to my external hard drive. I set up iTunes to automatically put and get music from the external hard drive and whenever I open the drive al of the music is there. Now, I bought a new computer and went ahead and got iTunes all set up then tried to add folder to import from the external hard drive but all the music folders are empty! They show the names of the artists and the albums but there is nothing inside. Please help!!

If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.

Apple TV does not see other iTunes

My Apple TV and my iTunes get along great. A friend showed up with his iTunes (on an XP PC). My iTunes and his work fine together, we are both on 7.3.1. So I know network, sharing and connections all are fine. itunes is working as it should for both of us.
But the Apple TV does not see his iTunes to stream. It is supposed to be able to steam from 5 other iTunes, but my Apple TV only sees mine (the one it syncs with). Note that it can also stream from mine just fine.
Any ideas?

This may reflect my lack of understanding.
His iTunes does not see the Apple TV at all. It does not show up in his iTunes. There is no "devices" list and no Apple TV.
However, even if it did, if you register the Apple TV with another iTunes, doesn't that mean the Apple TV is now going to sync with that new iTunes? Don't you only want to register the Apple TV with one iTunes? I assumed it would stream with any iTunes on the network (up to five).
But we are not there yet. His iTunes does not see the TV and the TV does not see him.
I double checked, he is looking for Apple TV in his settings.

Apple TV does not work after trying to update software. Main light keeps blinking and on the screen shows itunes icon and a usb cable. What does that means?

I am a PC user using 3 PCs w/ iTunes Match. 2 of my PCs sync fine, but my new PC (used to remove duplicates, cover art, update playlists) does not sync with Match. Whats the problem?

So, to begin I own 3 PCs and the latest iPad/iPhone running iTunes on all 3 PCs. For simplicity, I will refer to the PCs as old, laptop, and new.
My laptop was my primary PC which i used to set up iTunes match. The old PC had all of my music files which have appeared to have been uploaded to Match. Note that I had already transferred most (if not all) of the music to my laptop but I enabled match so that I could download new files to my old PC. Note that I did quite a bit of cleaning, retagging, and ordering files and that I was told by Apple that Match would recognize duplicates, and as such, would not upload these files to the cloud in Match (this does not appear to be the case, however). My laptop PC (originally set up on Match) indicates there are alot of files in the clould (Match) to download. These seem to be duplicate files which were already cleaned on the Laptop and were uploaded on the old PC machine. Thus, it appears that Apples matching alogorythm is not strong enough to detect minor differences (i.e. cover art) in files and decides to upload them anyway (quite annonying if you ask me).
Now, to my problem; I purchased a new PC and have been removing the last duplicate songs, updating cover-art, playlists, among other things. My new PC (which I will refer to as "new") is not recognized by iTunes Match. I have tried uninstalling each app associated with iTunes, starting fresh with a new playlist and library to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Apple Care does not seem to have much knowledge about Match, which is a bit frustrating. All I wish to do is tell Match that my New PC should be the primary PC which will be used to deliver playlists, music, etc since the other 2 machines have many duplicates and the playlists have errors within them. I thought about these solutions (none of which are no appealing) 1) using the laptop as my primary iTunes Match PC since this was the PC Match was created on (this would require rebuilding playlists and removing a massive amount of duplicates, again), 2) creating a new iTunes Match account based on my New PC (basically starting over), 3) forgetting Match all together and going back to the old school store & sync.
Anyone have better ideas or experiencing similar issues? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx!

After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

My problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications

I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync.

After updating my iphone 4 to ios5, my iphone does not sync

After updating my iphone 4 to ios5, my iphone does not sync music and contacts with itunes. These are the one i noticed so far!!
My new music in itunes will not update on my iphone?
My new contacts will not update on my computer address book?
Any ideas on whats the problem?

Did you check how many entries do you sync in the iPhone? Under "Mail, calendar and contacts" options on the Settings app, you need to make sure that you have enough entries syncing in your iCal.
By default I think it's the last 30 entries, but you can set it up to view all entries.
Also make sure that your calendars are selected as viewed.
Good luck,
Sergio

TS1425 itunes software locks up when I plug in ipod and it does not sync or appear in software?

iTune Software locks up when I connect my iPod Classic and it does not recognize iPod is connected and does not sync musice as it use to. Looking for ideas to try. Running updated iTune software and have reset iPod?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
It also could be due to a defective Lightning cable. Other uses have had problems with the cable.

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro? There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id. How do I switch it to a newer id?

It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products. Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago. I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode. I have been working on this for hours! I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good. Driver is showing up good with no problems.
I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button. This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton. All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
Please help. I am without a phone.

I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
I will update if everything works correctly
