ITunes want me to remove all of my data

I had gotten a ringtone maker app because I dont want to pay for the ringtones Apple has. I had made the ringtone and pluged my phone in to my computer, but when I want to "Sync Tunes", it says, "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Please help! Anyone can ask any question because I know i didnt give out much information.

Have you been syncing your phone to iTunes in the past? Do you have music on your device? How did you get it there? If you were using Manually Manage Music and try to sync ringtones, then yes, it would warn you about deleting music, since syncing ringtones is part of the music section and changing from manually manage music to sync will delete current content from the phone.

How can I sync my iPad with a new laptop (same itunes account) and not lose all my app data, i.e. games data stored on the ipad, not the app itself?

I want to sync my iPad with a new laptop, so I can get rid of the old computer. I have already downloaded all the itunes content on the new laptop, but when i go to sync, it tells me that itunes will erase and copy all the apps from the new library. The 2 computers are on the same account, so is there a way to copy the apps (including app data) onto the new laptop, instead of vice versa?

Removing all the hidden data from photos

If I export a photo to share, I often want to remove all the extra hidden stored data such as date taken exposures etc. Is this easy?

Hi rod,
By accident I found that a little app I use (ImageWell) to add connotations and text to my screenshots also strips most if not all the EXIF data from an image that you drag out of the Image well.
I just checked it out again. I dragged an image into the well, changed the name of the image and dragged it out. The EXIF data was gone when I opened it with Preview and did Tools/Get info.

How can I remove all Time Machine data from an external HD, while retaining the other folders/files on the disk?

I recently replaced my old Macbook Pro with a new Macbook Pro Retina.
The original MBP had Time Machine set up on an external HD, and I also had some manually saved/backed up files (stuff that didn't need incremental backups; very old stuff) on the disk as well, in folders. This worked fine and well for the life of the original MBP.
When I set up the MBPr, I did not elect to transfer everything over from a Time Machine disk, as I wanted a Fresh Install; I chose to just re-download/install the apps I needed from the App Store. Much cleaner, more stable. I updated to Yosemite immediately so, it gave me more of a clean install.
The problem is, Time Machine now won't read any Time Machine backups from that disk. Migration assistant can pull data from it, but it's a bit wonky. It was easier to just manually copy over what I needed.
Now, I just want to "reset", and completely remove the old Time Machine data from the external hard drive, since it is completely useless to me now (I can't access it on this computer, and it's taking up space). I want to remove the Time Machine data, as if it were never there, but keep my other folders/files that are on the disk (so, a format is not feasible).
I will then set the disk up as a new, fresh Time Machine disk for the new MBPr.
What is the proper method for removing Time Machine data from an external disk (which doesn't seem to be associated with this machine anyway)? I know a simple rm -rf will cause problems.
Thanks for any help provided.

I have succesfully migrated my data from my 2006 MacBook to a new 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I delete ALL of my personal data from the MacBook so my girlfriend can use it to support iTunes and her iPod?

Order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from The Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

I recently removed duplicate songs in iTunes. Now my library has a bunch of songs with exclamation marks by them. How do I get all my iTunes working again, but remove all the duplicate files?

I had manually deleted a number of duplicate iTunes that I originally have as mp3s. I want to only have one iTune of each song, but they do need to be working copies. However now, I have a bunch of iTunes that will not play now and they have an exclamation mark beside them. How do I get these working again and still only have one copy of them?

I suspect you might have been suffering from logical duplicates. See this thread for a discussion of the topic. Restore any files that are in your recycle bin, import any disconnected media either by adding the media folder to your library or using a tool such as iTunes Folder Watch. Once the files are back in your libray you can use the methods I outline in that thread or my DeDuper script to tidy up.

ITunes 11.1 update removed all uninstalled updates for my Apps

I just installed the iTunes 11.1 update on a Mac running 10.8.5, and all went fine (overall it seems faster and more responsive) until I went to check on some App updates I had pending for my Apps (purchased from the iTunes store). I had 3 or 4 unapplied ones before the update, but now it says there are no updates available for my Apps (even though there are). I restarted and logged in and out of iTunes, but still no App updates. If I go to the associated iDevices, they all show the updates as before. If I go to the iTunes Store to the particular app that has an update, it shows "update" as opposed to the "$ Buy" as shown for unpurchased apps. So the iDevices and iTunes directly show the updates, but not if I go to the App Category in the Library (where Music, TV Shows, etc. are listed) and go to updates - nothing (All Apps Are Up to Date). So I can get updates, it's just a more convoluted process and iTunes is not doing what it's supposed to do.
Some birth pangs for the new iTunes update or has anyone else seen this issue?

Update: As of this morning the updates were GONE again, so I'm thinking this may recur on and off until all settles after the launch of new software and iDevices this week.

I want to remove all my sync data and delete my account,

I have tried on numerous occasions to do this within the account management facility, but every time I get a server error (dinosaurs/treadmills etc!).
Is there any other way I can have my account deleted?

Deleting mail account does not completely remove all of its data from iPhone

Hi
I'm using iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.3. I used a number of email accounts on the built-in Mail app and recently deleted one Gmail account. I thought that all its data will be removed from the iPhone, however, when I used the Spotlight Search, I found that the iPhone still retains some of the account's draft email. So I tried to add back the account to the Mail then delete it once again, but the draft email is still there, although these draft emails no longer exist in the actual Gmail account. I tried resending them but only ended up with sent mail that also refuses to get deleted (still found them on Spotlight) after deleting the Gmail account. Is there any way to remove these useless mail to free up space?

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

Restore Safari Keychain data after Remove All

Restore Safari Keychain data after Remove All
I mistakenly removed all Safari Keychain data, which, of course, also removed the data from my iOS devices. I attempted a restore with a "Keychain" folder. It's on my desktop, but I'm not sure what to do with it or if it's even the right data. Can anyone help with how to restore keychain with Mozy? Thanks!!

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the AutoFill tab.
Select: User names and passwords
Visit a website. Enter the login data. You will be prompted tos save that data to a new keychain.
Restore... as I mentioned previously, Mozy is not compatible with Keychain Access. There is no way to restore with Mozy.
In the future, you may want to use iCloud Keycahin to store login data.

In case anyone else is having this issue, AppleCare confirmed this is erroneous behavior and asked me to do a full restore through iTunes. They suspect that something might have gotten corrupted in the software when I imported all my settings and content from my iPhone 5.
