Lost Some iTunes when Synced with iPhone

When I switched to a Mac (because my Windows based computer was stolen) I used my iPhone to download all my iTunes to my new MB Pro. However, when I purchased iTunes on the phone they would not sync. So when I synced together, I lost some music and audiobooks. I can't tell what didn't sync but I just know when a song, album, or audiobook is missing. All this is still on an iPod that is formatted with Windows, but that is the only place it is backed up. How can I restore the lost iTunes?

I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS7. Now my podcasts I have added to ITunes and synced with iPhone do not open. When I touch the screen like in the old iOS6, nothing happens.

Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes

Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network. The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start. With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes. Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

No events listed when syncing with iPhone

When syncing with iTunes, events are no longer listed when choosing option s photos on the iPhone?? Why

I confirmed that I have the radio button checked that says "Sync all Contacts", but not the one that specifically shows Yahoo! Address Book. So the question remains, why does iTunes consistently prompt me to sync Yahoo! Address Book? How can I stop that from happening?

Why can't I get my iTunes to sync with iPhone 5

ITunes doesn't show some playlists for sync with iPhone ...

I've got a few smart playlists.
The annoying thing now is that some of them do not show up under "my iphone" / Music / Playlists.
So I can't sync them to my iPhone ;-(
I used to have this smart playlist in the iPhone section of iTunes - but I can't remember when it disappeared.
For instance, I've got a smart playlist that contains some of the latest episodes of some podcasts.
It is populated fine, but it does not show up in the playlists for sync with my iPhone.
Another smart playlist (which I call "random pop") contains some music from my music collection.
This one does show up in the iPhone section of iTunes ...
BTW, just in case you wonder why I have this smart playlist containing some episodes of the podcasts: first, there are some episodes that I don't care for on my iPhone; second, with this little trick I can jump by a simple double-click to the next episode, no matter which podcast it belongs to, while listening to my iPhone.
Any insights, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Mystery solved: the playlist is now under "my Iphone" / Podcasts / Include Episodes from Playlist ...

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Missing some address book data when syncing with iphone

Hi,
I sync my iphone 3G with software version 3.0 on my Imac with Leopard 10.5.7 I have used it for over a year without any problem.
Recently, the sync of address book has been omitting some phone numbers. Say a contact has an office phone, a handphone and a fax, I will only find the fax on my iphone. The number "sellected" for syncing with the iphone is not always the same... sometimes the fax, sometimes the office, etc. Most contacts are only allowed 1 phone number on the iphone, but some have none and some have them all. Last, the land address, the email and other fields are never affected.
Of course, before posting, I already restored my Iphone, but the problem remained.
This problem is in fact very serious since I must carry at all time a printed copy of my 600 contacts...
Thank you in advance for help

I have seen a similar problem on my setup (Outlook and Windows XP). In my case, I found out the iPhone doesn't like certain types of phone field names. When you create a new contact on the iPhone, you can choose mobile, iPhone, home, work, main, home fax, work fax, pager, and other. If, for example, your source data has a contact with a "main" phone number, that number doesn't sync properly.
If you go to Google Maps and find a new address and add it to your contacts, it uses the "Phone" name for the phone field. Oddly, that field is not one on the iPhone list. The phone shows up, but when you edit the contact and try to edit the phone, it automatically switches that field to "Mobile". I think that is an attempt by the iPhone to make sure you have a valid field name for your phone numbers.
The way I see it, it is a bug. I have never had a similar issue with other devices and sync software. Try going into a contact on your computer you are having problems with, and change the field name of one of the missing phone numbers to "work" and resync. See if that makes it sync.

Re: iTunes 11.1.2 keeps crashing when sync with iPhone 5

I'd updated iOS7 (the latest), Maverick and iTunes 11.1.2. While everything is working fine independently, when I try to sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes, it just hangs at "Finishing Syncing..." forever. A few minutes later, iTunes just quit unexpectedly (crashed!!!).
I repeated syncing a few more times but same thing happens. I have no luck so far but wonder if anyone has similar experience with iPhone 5 or any other model and if a solution is found.
I will not sync any more until Apple has an update for any of their software to fix this. iPhone is backed up in iCloud so I am safe but I would like to change music from time to time but it seems a little unstable so far

I have discovered the specific cause of my issue (cannot sync photos).
We have two networked computers. All the latest versions are on both computers. (Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.2, iPhoto 9.5, IOS 7.0.3)
The iPhoto library is on a separate hard drive attached to Computer1 via firewire. Syncing to IOS devices works fine from Computer1.
Computer 2 on the network (ethernet) uses the same photo library for iPhoto (iPhoto on Computer2 accesses the iPhoto library on hard drive attached to Computer1). iPhoto works fine on Computer2, no issues. However, when trying to sync photos to an IOS device via iTunes from Computer 2, the photo part of the sync hangs up on "Importing Photos", runs forever, and always causes an iTunes crash after awhile.
I copied the iPhoto library directly to the hard drive on Computer2, and redirected iPhoto on Computer2 to use that copied library now on Computer2. iTunes could then complete syncing from Computer2, including photos, with no problem.
So iTunes has a bug syncing photos to an IOS device when the photo library used by iPhoto on that computer resides on a different networked computer (accessed over a home network). Note this all worked fine prior to upgrading Mavericks, iTunes, and iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto has no problem with this configuration.

Apps purchased on itunes not syncing with iphone

I recently purchased some apps from the App Store using iTunes but when I synced it with my iPhone it didn't work. This is the first time it's happened. All the other times I purchased apps through my macbook, they synced perfectly once I connected my iPhone, except for the ones I downloaded last night. I tried downloading them straight from the App Store in my iPhone, and when asked "You already purchased this, would you like to download it again for free?" I clicked Ok, but still nothing happened. Now I have five apps missing which I paid for and haven't even used.
Any suggestions as to what else I should try?

Similar problem. Apps downloaded to iTunes do not sync to my iPhone (Edge/2.0) despite clicking "Sync" in iTunes. The icons do not appear on the iPhone. My account shows the apps ordered in the receipt, but they only remain on my Mac.
Workaround: I had to download the apps directly (wirelessly) to the iPhone. I did not restart the iPhone.
Expected behaviour: the apps should appear on the iPhone after syncing with iTunes.

Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
Natalie

I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

Events disappearing from Outlook Calendar when synced with iPhone 4

Hi,
I have just switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. I have the same iTunes and Apple ID on both the iPhones (the other one is used by my wife) but I created different iCloud ID for both the iPhones. When I synced the new iPhone 4S with my laptop, I found that my calender events on my laptop dissappeared.
This never happened with iPhone 4. Can you please help to find out the reason?
Thanks

When you created a new Apple ID and logged the phones in you disconnected them from the account where your calendars etc are, use your original ID.

Updated apps on iTunes not syncing with iPhone 4S

Hello!
I've synced the iPhone 4S with iTunes 10.5, and in iTunes there are 53 apps with available updates (I'm choosing not to update some), but in the App Store app on the phone there's a badge saying there are 87 available updates. I've never experienced this discrepancy before. Some of the apps in the phone's Updates section of the App Store are apps that I've already updated in iTunes. So the sync doesn't seem to be installing them in the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

Crashing when syncing with iPhone

Hi,
Recently Aperture keeps crashing when I connect and sync with my iPhone 4. As soon as Aperture has started up the beachball appears. Sometimes it hangs on 'updating FB' and some times it hangs on 'face detection'.
Every time I have to force quit and to rebuild my library in order to use Aperture in a normal way (and not being connected to iPhone).
Anyone any idea what I can do/ need to do???
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks Jim for the answer.
I can keep it running but then the next morning I still have the beachball.............:-(
After rebuilding the library all goes well and there seem to be no problems. Problems start after closing down in a normal way and starting up the next time......
And it has been running for a long time without problems. Didn't touch any settings/preferences.
Maybe the OS update??
Peter

IPhoto immediately freezes when synced with iPhone.

When I open iPhoto and sync my iPhone 4 to my Mac, the program freezes immediately. I have updated both phone, computer, and iPhoto to all the current versions. This problem has occured every single time I've tried to sync the two for the past 3 months. It does not crash, it just freezes, and I have to force quit the program.
