Itunes says no room for music on iphone but there is 26gb free!

I have an ipod with about 14 gb of music on it, just bought an iphone (32gb).
My apps transfered OK but itunes refuses to transfer any music saying
there is no room although the iphone claims 26gb free..

Sims sometimes go bad. You might want to visit your cellular provider, get a new SIM. You'll have to go through the activation process. If it still does the same thing, you might have an issue with the phone.

HT1212 trying to restore my phone because forgot passcode and iTunes says I must turn off "Find iPhone" but since I can't get into my phone what do I do now?

How do I Restore iPhone4s when iTunes is telling me to turn off "Find iPhone" but I can get into the phone because its disabled?

Go to a computer or another mobile device. Logon to iCloud.com with your Apple ID. You can remove or erase your device from there.

Itunes says i must enter passcode on iphone but iphone only gives option for emergency calls

My sim card is inserted and when I turn the iphone on it only gives the option for emergncy calls, when i connect to itunes it says the phone is locked and i need to enter the passcode on the phone but i cannot enter pass cose on phone as it doesnt give me the option.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You're gonna have to force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

Itunes says it is installed successfully on computer, but there is no itunes on computer.

Okay so I decided to download the latest itunes (10.5 I think). My computer is a Dell equipped with Windows XP. First, I had the issue of "Error 127". Looked it up on this forum and was told to uninstall itunes and anything Apple related on my computer. So once that was done, I downloaded Itunes again and installed it. I thought something was off when it installed way too quickly and this was confirmed when it said it installed successfully, but then there was no shortcut nor could I find itunes or any affiliated programs in the Start menu. So first I tried to restart my computer to see if everything would be there and it wasnt. I have never had this problem before with Itunes. As of know I am really disappointed with Itunes. I am begging for someone to help me with this. I have a new ipod and now I can't even use it.

Go to add and remove programs (control panel) and make sure you remove itunes and quicktime.Make sure your restart computer and that you don't have itunes nor quicktime installed anymore. Then, try to install any other or newer version of itunes and that should do. It happened to me too.

ITunes shows 2,700 photos on my iPhone, but there's only 161 on the phone.

My iPhone's disc space is suddenly full. iTunes shows I have 7gb of photos (2,700)on my iPhone when I connect it, but my phone really only has 161.
I recently updated to iOS 4.0.1 on iPhone 3GS and iTunes 9.2.0.61 on Windows Vista. I was previously using iOS 3.1.3 and iTunes 9.0.xxx (not sure of which 9.0 version) and I had been using an App called Goodreader. I would transfer my files via USB with an .exe file called GoodreaderUSB to my iPhone. Now I can't since iTunes has been cracking down on that, and Goodreader uses iTunes to USB transfer with their new version and iTunes 9.2.xxx. I have a feeling my old USB transfers are all still in my phone, just unaccessible but iTunes is showing them as photos as far as disc space goes. This could be completely unrelated to Goodreader, but I have a strong suspicion it's the problem.
I've attempted multiple backups and syncs and I'm only syncing 84 photos (part of the 161 on my phone).
I also just realized it's showing 5.8gb of apps, when I did the math quick and only have 2gb of apps.
My iPhone also shows that I have used this much disc space when I run the app "System Activity Monitor."
Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.

ITunes says no SIM card, can't activate. but there is.

iPhone has been working perfectly but went completely flat yesterday. When I stuck it on the charger today it displayed the original multi-lingual connect to iTunes to activate screen instead of recovering. iTunes said couldn't read the phone contents and undertook a restore. Restore went through fine but I'm now stuck trying to activate with iTunes message "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate." The original SIM is in the iPhone though.
I've tried:
- rebooting everything
- activating with a different cable, different Mac and different internet connection
- activating with my wife's SIM in the phone (same account, same carrier)
- confirmed my SIM works fine in my wife's iPhone4
- putting the phone in dfu mode and restoring again
All with no change. First available Genius bar appointment isn't until next Friday. I suspect there's probably a hardware fault and I know the Genius will probably swap the phone out. It's a week away though - is there anything else to try?
Cheers,
Steve.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop. How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

I bought a new computer, and iTunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what i do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything, and I want all that on my laptop..

I bought a new computer, and downloaded iTunes, therefore the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?

I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost.
The only options are:
Restore the device to get it functional.
Enjoy the paper weight.
For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?

Shutdown of itunes program when searching for music. How to fix this proble

I have a problem with itunes. When I go into the itunes store and search for music it shows the loading bar at the top that shows its progess and when it is finished a screen pops up that says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and itunes closes. I have tried to change settings but nothing works.

^ I did everything you said except download the new itunes (I have dialup and can't tie up my phone line for 4 hours) and nothing is different.
When I send the error report it "says" that apple has a solution for the problem and it provides a link provided by apple (which by the way is crap and just sends you to the store which has 0 solutions to this problem). I try to look through the help files but it is extreemly anti-helpful.
If no one can help me then can someone please post the phone number to the support line for apple products (another thing they forgot to put anywhere in my ipod manuals which is stupid).
Thanks
(sorry if I sound ****** off but I am cus I baught an Ipod but I can't even use itunes)

Welcome to the Apple community.
Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do. Bear in mind that iTunes has nothing to do with your iCloud account.
