Just updated my OS to os5...why did all of my music and video file turn into an "other" file and how do I fix it?

I just updated to OS5 and all of my video and music files are gone and now I have an inaccessible "other" file about the size of the of the old music and video files. When I go to sync music files in itunes they never show up on the phone. Help!

Never mind. Just read some similar questions and tried restoring it to backed up version and now everything seems to be working. What a relief!

How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore! And this was lucky that i was able to see it as pdf file - all other attachments i have recieved since using my new ip6 all turn into winmail.dat
this is really incovinient and frustrating for work. i cant believe i cannot just open a pdf file as a pdf file on my ip6 in the emails i recieve. I was on ip4 before this and never have anything like this happened.
Solution needed asap please.
Thankyou!

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch does not display attachment in email - Apple Support

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. How do I Get my songs back?

I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. I thought sinced i "Backed - Up" my ipod that my songs would return after the update. WHere are my songs? Whats the purpose of a back-up if i cant get my tunes back? I have about 2000 songs.

The backup does not contain music or the apps themselves and some other things. Those need to be in your iTunes library so then can be synced to the iPod during a latter stage of the update process.
If you are in a country where iCloud has be implimentd then you can redownload music by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
It list s the countrys where there is iCloud.
If the music wee from CDs, you have to go back to the source.

I just updated my iPhone 4s to iOS7. I had an old iCloud account on it that I have closed. How do i delete the account on the iPhone and update it to my new account?

I keep having this problem too, no one seems to know how to fix it. Can't delete the account without turning off the 'find my iphone' app. Cant' turn it off without the ID....it's a vicious cycle.

If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Sweet... all better now.
I was looking in my FINDER preferences, not my APPLE preferences.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7.0.3. my iPad music downloads are messed-up, the regular album tracklist is disorganised...can't get them "back on track" who can help me out? Greets Alex

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7.0.3 > my iTunes music downloads are messed up....the regular tracklist of the albums are in chaos, can someone help me out to get them " in line" again!?

Well I basically answered my own question. I just ended up deleteing the tracks from the albums missing artwork (I highlighted all of them and right clicked delete) then just dragged over the album again that had the artwork already set and it worked like a charm.
Couldn't figure out any other way to do it. Still open to ideas for the future if anyone has any.

I just updated my iphone to ios5 now when i go to music it says 'no content' when i checked my capacity it shows 7.9gb in 'other' . i can also see all my music is on the 'device' only when i go on the computer

i just updated my iphone to ios5 now when i go to music it says 'no content' when i checked my capacity it shows 7.9gb in 'other' . i can also see all my music and apps on the device menue in itunes.

I went to the Summary page of iTunes and checked "Sync only checked songs and videos". Synced again, and no songs were playable. Unchecked my only playlist and synced again. All the songs were gone as expected. Checked my playlist again, and all the songs were there. Looked at them under the music tab, but they were all grayed out. Tried to play any of them, but could not. Tried to sync again and received the message, "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
Every time I connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes, it says "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone ____. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?" I click "Continue Restore" (I'm tempted to click "delete backup.) It then says, "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-54). I click OK. I'm redirected to the "Set up your iPhone screen". It's already selected to "Restore from backup of ___'s iPhone". Click continue. It restores for about 2 minutes. iTunes says my settings have been restored and wait for it to restart. And again the message that "iTunes was interrupted..." (see above). Crap.
How do i get this back to where it belongs?

TS2529 just updated my iphone 4; now I cannot sync with my music on my mac nor download music from itunes. all other items: photos, calendar, email syncs; not music. how do i get music on my iPhone?

I just updated my iPhone 4. I now cannot synch with music on my iMac nor can I download from iTunes. All other syncing activity works: calendars, email, ibooks and contacts are all automatically updated across all devices. Not music.
How do I get music to download and sync?

Plug your phone into itunes.
Click the iphone there, and go to the music tab.
Is the Sync Music tab checked off? And is the entire music library selected?

I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

I have just updated my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 My in Design CS2 will no longer work. How do I up

I have just updated my OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 My in Design CS2 will no longer work. How do I update the software?

What you could do if you have to stick with CS2 is to have a bootable hard drive that is setup to be on Snow Leopard (10.6). For the times you need to use old software such as InDesign CS2, then restart the Mac and boot from the external hard drive into 10.6 and then you're OK. I use this method for any PowerPC programs I rarely use.

Why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

why did all my music on my iphone get erased when i tried to sync to the iTunes on my new laptop?

As a rule syncing is one way, from the library to the device. There should have been a warning that media content on the device would be removed and replaced with that in the local library. If the content were still on the device it could be recovered with the steps in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You can redownload your qualifying past purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon store, etc. Do you have the previous computer your device synced with, or a backup, from which the library could be recovered?
