Itunes wiped and now I can't Sync my Iphone help??
Basically one day I opened my Itunes and all my music, videos, apps, playlists, podcasts and purchases had disappeared. I have most of my songs back but there's some things I can't get back so I'm not willing to sync my phone. I didn't have the manually manage option ticked before it crashed (silly me) so is there any way for me to add my songs and videos now? I'm really desperate to add my new songs as I need them on there for my work... any suggestions?
also any reason why this may have happened to begin with? Thankyou
There are third-party apps that allow you to go both ways with an ipod. Hopefully there are some apps that allow you to do the same with the iPhone. Then you could save your tunes. If you bought any from the iTunes store, you'll be able to re-download them.
Definately back-up. If you're running a Mac and have signed up for .Mac, you'll have 10 gig there you can use as off-site storage. If not, portable HDDs are pretty cheap now and make a great backup.

I tried updating my itunes and it stopped working so I restored my pc to before the update but now I can't sync my iphone to it. It keeps saying I need to sync but it wont and everytime I try clicking on something the side bar it shuts down.
Cancel that... I uninstalled Quicktime and it started working. Will cross the reinstalling of quicktime down the track I suppose... thanks again

Hello,
I recently signed up for I tunes Match and have succesfully added my iPhone 4 and iPad.
But I can no longer sync my music into my iPod Nano.
I assume it has something to do with iTunes Match???
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,

I want to sync my iphone in the same manner as I sync my ipod. Since i purchased the cloud, it seems I can only download my library using the cloud. How can I just sync my library by just plugging into my mac?
You will have to use recovery mode, losing all data.

Hello xtremejoe
I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

Upgraded to iTunes 11. Now, I can not sync my music to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1). Apps, movies and videos sync OK. Music is the problem. Tags are correctly check-marked. NO ERROR MESSAGE THOUGH. Just a No Content in the Music App in the iPhone. Any ideas ???
Bump!

Recently I updated iTunes on my PC and now the "Summary" for syncing my iPhone with iTunes no longer appears near the top of my iTunes window. "Summary" lists items I can sync such as "Music, Photos, Apps", etc with drop-down boxes I can use to manage how I sync those items. An icon for my iPhone does appear near the top right corner of the iTunes window; however, when I click on the icon, the sync automatically begins and there is no display of what is syncing or how much space has been used or how much space is left for syncing music, photos, apps, etc. The new iTunes window no longer lists "Devices" on the left-hand side of the window. Has anyone had the same issue?
In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar.

I updated the OS on my Macbook pro and now I can't sync the calender to my iphone...it no lonver gives me the option. What happened?
OS X Mavericks takes away the ability for calendar/contacts syncing through the computer. You'll have to use iCloud, or manually type them in.

So i just got a new Iphone 5s 64 GB. I plugged it into my friends computer and pressed sync with this device only as opposed to sync with other devices and now I can't sync my music from my personal laptop..Is there any way around this?? I'm using Mavericks and newest version of Itunes
Also, I can sync my apps from my laptop but not my music so i'm really confused.. Help pleaseI have the same problem. I bought a 3rd party software (tunejack) and it allowed me to transfer my songs to my new pc. Now I can't play them because I am not authorized. It says I am but then it says im not.
