ITunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password??

iTunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password?? I've never set a password for my old iPhone 3gs but tried my old Apple ID sign-in passwords to no avail. I've simply sat here so frustrated....my husband sync'd his new iPhone 4 no problem, somehow the checkbox shows Encrypted password and I'm at a loss on how to change this/find the password and transfer my old backup onto my new phone so I can use it. Can anyone help? Tnx

John,
buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

    i have reinstalled my itunes and and restarted my computer and nothing is working

    Drew,
    Are you sure that those are regular playlists (music note symbol) and not smart playlists (gear symbol)?  Smart playlists populate themselves according to their rules, and you cannot drag songs into them.

  • ITunes will not let me sync my iPad 2...

    iTunes will not let me sync my 8 month old, previously synced iPad 2.  It is no longer recognized over Wi-Fi and when i plug it in via USB I am given the 'Set Up Your iPad' screen.  I have tried restoring from a backup, and that successfully restores my iPad but iTunes still will not recognize this.  My only options remain 'setup as a new iPad' or 'Restore from the backup...'
    Any ideas what I should do?  I have tried both soft and hard reboots, closed/reopened itunes, rebooted my MacBook...nothing has worked.  Should I suck it up and try resetting to the factory settings?  Or does this sound more like an issue with the iPad?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated - Thanks

    ISSURE RESOLVED - there was an interupted/corrupt backup of this device that had to be deleted.  After deleting this backup file, iPad was recognized without issue...only wish is hadnt tried 'restoring from backup' first since my settings were reverted to that previous date once issue was resolved.

    Try this:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT4623 My daughter forgot her passcode for her 3GS, and iTunes will not let me change the passcode or even update.  Please help!!!

    My daughter forgot her passcode for her 3GS, and iTunes will not let me change the passcode or even update.  Please help!!!

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

    I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

  • TS1424 my itunes will NOT let me buy any explicit music and i dont know why can anyone help me?

    my itunes will NOT let me buy any explicit music and i dont know why can anyone help me?

    Either:
    iTunes is trying to protect you from the ugly side of the adult world
    Your parents are trying to protect you from the ugly side of the adult world
    You've turned on the Parental/Content Restrictions by mistake
    Look in iTunes at Edit/Preferences/Parental>Content Restrictions>Restrict explicit content and make sure the tick is not in the checkbox.

  • I updated to a newer itunes version and now itunes will not let me play a bunch of my music.  ***? anyone know what the deal is with that?

    I  updated to a newer itunes version and now itunes will not let me play a bunch of my music.  ***? anyone know what the deal is with that?

    How could anyone possibly know as you've provided no details.
    What happens when trying to play the media in question?
    Any errors?
    Is there an ! to the left of the media?  If so, this means iTunes is unable to locate the media file.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.
