Losing music and movies while syncing with the new itunes 7!
Several times I have lost my movies and music when I have connected my ipod and it synced with itunes. I synced earlier in the day (or the day before in other cases) and it worked fine. I didn't change any options on the ipod. After I lose the files I click on my ipod in itunes and the sync check boxes have been unchecked. when I recheck the sync boxes it will reload all of my stuff but it is a hassel, especially if i'm in a hurry. I never had this problem with the earlier version of itunes. What is making it lose the files when I sync?
Are you syncing it to more than one computer? If so it is operating normally. If you want to sync to more than one, you must opt to Manually manage your music. If you opt to do this, then be sure you have a backup of your music somewhere other than your iPod as you might have to restore it.

Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes
My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!
i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

How do I get my iPod classic 160GB to sync with the new iTunes 11.4 (64-bit)
None of the solutions I tried have worked:
I reinstalled iTunes.
I reauthorized my computer
I restored my iPod
Each time I sync, it says that sync is complete, but no songs are on my iPod.
Since restoring my iPod, I get this error message when I attempt to eject it: "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
Please help! I miss my potable music.Hi YumaGal,
The easiest way to do what you are asking would be to restore the iPod nano's software, which erases all music and other content from the iPod. The process is described in this manual -
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA629/en_US/iPod_nano_4th_gen_UserGuide .pdf
See at the bottom of page 69 -
To update or restore iPod nano:
1 Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/ipod/start.
2 Connect iPod nano to your computer.
3 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list and click the Summary tab.
The Version section tells you whether iPod nano is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
4 Click Update to install the latest version of the software.
5 If necessary, click Restore to restore iPod nano to its original settings (this erases all data
from iPod nano). Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Why can't I copy and paste album artwork with the new iTunes?
I updated to the new 10.5.1.(42) iTunes. Now I can't add album artwork like I always have. I open the artwork window in the lower left corner to access artwork. I used to be able to right click/copy and right click/paste. Now I can't. This is a backwards step. I'm getting fed up with Apple making changes for the worse.
I can add artwork with many more steps but the method I mentioned above is(was) the quickest and easiest.
Quit making changes just to make a change, Apple!
And, yes, I submotted feedback to Apple through the link in iTunes.
TracyI went through updates on my three newest Macs this week. As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42). I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available. I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
15 minutes later:
I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out. I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed. I'm happy again.

i have two ipods that are synced to my previous itunes account that was on my macbook before the hard drive crashed. i can't sync with the new itunes on the new hard drive - help!
Why did you start a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer to your new hard drive.
Ipod will sync to one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the ipod. -
I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in AppleCorrect. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -
How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.
The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with? -
I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro. When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer. How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?
Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005. -
I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD? thanks
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library. -
