Lost Audiobooks when "syncing"

I downloaded an audiobook in iTunes that wouldn't transfer to my iPhone. To try and solve the problem, I tried to "Sync Audiobook" under the "Devices", "Books" category. Now, the new audiobook is on my iphone but all the other audiobooks have been deleted on both my iphone and itunes. Is there any way to get them back?

ok, I've now found the missing Audiobooks with my Music. The problem now is that I have no way to choose which Audiobook...the only box selects all the Audiobooks. Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks...Bill

Lost notes when syncing

When syncing to new 4 i-phone everything synced but notes

I just lost all my notes on my iPhone 4S when I synced. They disappeared on my computer too but remain on my iPad? Checked both and have Notes synced to iCloud. Before I synced, the iPhone has been missing all but one recent note and I couldn't figure out why it was different from the iPad and computer. That is why I synced only to lose the one that was on there. Afraid to sync iPad since it is the only one left with all the notes intact.

Lost info when syncing iphone 5

I got a new I phone 5, 2 months ago.The salesperson transferred all my info to new phone. I had been charging my phone by an outlet. I finally got around to plugging it into my computer to sync it. I have seemed to have deleted all my music and some contacts and several apps by doing this. I have no idea what I did or how to retrieve anything. Help.

You're welcome.
You obviously don't know what a run-on sentence is and there are only two questions.
I'll try to be more precise or put this in a way you can understand.
There is not an iTunes contact list.
iTunes does not store contacts.
iTunes serves as the sync conduit for syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer only.
This must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This cannot be selected all by itself.
If this was the first time you connected your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, the syncing did not start all by itself.
If you want to transfer music via the iTunes sync process, this is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Do not sync your iPhone with iTunes again before doing so and when prompted to update your iPhone's backup as the first step after selecting Restore, decline the prompt or your iPhone's backup will be overwritten and the contacts lost.

Lost Contacts when syncing

When I synced my phone today I lost my contacts, how can I recover them? Where does iTunes store them if I don't have outlook or a similar app?

If you have done a backup of your BB phone through the Desktop Manager software before the sync, you can restore your phone and its original contacts.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that your Mac address book did replace the exisiting ones on your BB ... according to what you describe. Was the sync really tuned to "Bi-directional" when you connected your phone to the Mac?
If positive, then they should be present on both devices.
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

I purchased songs via my iPhone but lost it when syncing with itunes. How do I get them back?

Hi everyone,
I'm sure this happened to some of you before but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I purchased music direct via my iPhone but when I synced with iTunes some of my albums were missing. What is also weird is that the digital booklets have synced but I can't find the songs. How do I get them back?
I know that Apple has a policy to not downloading twice but I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm not all that confident either so would really appreciate the help.
Cheers.

TS2776 can't download purchased audiobook when syncing my iphone 4s

Lost music when syncing

Can anyone tell me what happened when i synced my phone to my boyfriends computer to download a movie on Itunes and all my music in my IPOD app disappeared and got replaced by his music? Now I can't get my music back. Does anyone know how to get my music back?

Iphone will sync itunes content to one computer. If you sync to another, ti will erase the current content from iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
Your music should be on the computer with which you normally sync. Just sync it back to the iphone.

Lost Apps when syncing

Hi,
When I synced mt iPad to my itunes account to upload pictures to the iPad it for some reason decided to delete all my Apps!
Does anyone know why this happened? Will it happen again, as i don't want to keep paying for apps and then losing them.
Is there a way to get my purchased apps back?

same thing happened to me. i'm a real beginner here. do i have to repurchase all my ipad apps? or is there some kind of history log that allows me to reload them all without paying for them. should i "restore" my ipad to it's original settings?

Lost pictures when syncing from camera and iPhoto crashed.

I was syncing my photos (around 900), and iPhoto crashed. They are no longer on my camera and not on iPhoto. Any way to recover it?

maybe
you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
you may be able to recover the phtos on the SD card using media recover
for the future a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

Music on my phone lost. When I sync to I Tunes it doesn't add the music. phone updated to 6.1. how do I get the music back in the phone.

Music loaded to my phone is lost. When I resync to I Tunes it doesn't add the lost music. My phone was updated to 6.1. Any suggestions on how to restore the music to the I Phone?

If the music is in iTunes you should be able to sync it back to your iPhone.
What settings do you have in the iTunes Music tab for your device?
Is Sync Music set?
Is Entire music library checked?
What happens when you sync?
If iTunes is confused and thinks the music actually is on your iPhone you could try unchecking Sync Music and then sync. Follow this by checking Sync Music and then sync again.

Items purchased on my iPad lost when synced to MacBook Pro

I purchased music and TV shows on my iPad which downloaded fine. When I synced my iPad to my MacBook Pro they have all disappeared. I did nothing different to what I normally do when syncing and am really annoyed. I 'reported a problem' via my order in the iTunes store on the 8 things that have disappeared, several of them being albums which means I am missing a lot of what I have paid for through no fault of my own. iTunes support have responded to 2 of the 'reported problems' one was relisted in my downloads and the TV series has apparently been refunded, have to wait 5 days for that to show. The rest I have heard nothing on. Has anybody had this problem and if so how did you resolve it? How can I contact the iTunes store to chase this up and get an answer??
All help gratefully received.

You are not alone! This happened to me this evening. I had purchased an album on my iPad and went to back up this purchase on my computer. After the sync I went back to my iPad to play off the album and all but three songs were missing! The horror continued when they were not on my computer either. How am I supposed to be held accountable to "back up my music" if my music is lost in the process?! I hope someone has some ideas for us.

Lost my apps when sync iPad with iTunes

when sync iPad with iTunes, apps purchased in iPad by another account were lost, and the apps can't be seen when check for available downloads. How to get back the purchased apps? thanks.

If you lost all your apps on both the iPad and the computer, you can download the apps again at no cost. You can search your emails for app store purchases if you can't remember all the apps that you have downloaded.

I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!
