Lost sync with itunes

Hi, I've just updated to itunes 9.0.2 and apple tv version 3 and have lost sync between them now. I have done a factory reset on apple tv and now it doesn't even show up in the devise menu on itunes...any ideas?? Thanks very much

Not really at this time, it's difficult when it comes to networks because there is so much involved and there are so many differences between peoples networks. Certainly tending towards the idea it's a network related issue on the basis that it works on wifi and not ethernet and also that it can't be seen by two computers.
It's perhaps worth seeing if your router issues static addresses to each device and maybe even trying to remove the tv from the routers list of devices and letting it set it up again.

Hi,
I had my iphone stolen a few weeks ago which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes via my phone but had not synced with itunes on my computer.
Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost? Thanks x

By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. Lost everything I put on it this weekend (including ALL my pics). Is there any way to unsync it so I can get all of that back?

In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

HT1212 I followed the I have never synced with itunes directions, and I appear to have lost everything that was on my itouch. Now what?

This is the most frustrating site and instructions. I got locked out of my iTouch and had to do a system restore. I followed the directions for having never synced with itunes directions, as I inheireted this itouch from my dad and when I tryed to sync before it looked like I would wipe out everything on it, which I DID NOT want to do. Now, after following the directions, I have wiped out everything that was on it, pictures, songs,...is there anyway to restore what was on the itouch?

Looking at those directions I am not seeing the device in itunes. Here is what I followed from: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode under if you have never synced your device with itunes.
"Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device."
From: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229504
So I followed these directions and in step number 5 it was uploading (I believe) for about 30 minutes. When that was over there was no other directions and the device was still locked. So I repeated the steps. This time it restored the device, but when I get on it, I lost all music and pictures, along with a few apps. The apps are no big deal as they were free downloads, so I can redo those with no problems. Trying to follow your directions above and clicking through the links, my main problem is that I have no devices showing in itunes. I just down loaded it today, so it is the latest version. So what now?

HT1535 My ipod touch will not sync with itunes I have restored it to factory settings and have now lost all my music how do I get it to sync to get it back it keeps saying it has timed out whilst waiting to sync...

Lost 3GB of memory after Syncing with itunes, unable to locate/delete them?

This morning, I did the regular syncing with Itunes, and suddenly I noticed that my Free memory had suddenly dropped from 9.7 to 6.7 Gb
I also noticed while syncing that my iphone is syncing song titles that already exist on my iphone and itunes again for some reason.
after syncing,my free Memory dropped from 9.7 GB to 6.7GB and my OTHER memory went up from 1.36 to 4.36 for some reason.while Music, photos and APP memory stayed the same.
keep in mind the new added 3 GB are exactly the same total memory of my music.

music: 3GB
photos 146.9MB
APP:876MB

Free 9.7 GB
After this morning Sync I Have
Music: 3 GB
APP:876MB

Free 6.7 GB
I checked to see if I have duplicates titles of my music in my ipod, and everything was the same.no duplictaes
I am unable to locate the additional 3GB I have under Others in my memory.
Is there a way to break down the memory Status Other in order to see what are the new 3 GB added to my phone?
HOw can I free my phone from the new 3Gb data?
Hoe to locate or delete the new data? any application that can break it down in order to locate the folder with the new data either in itunes or on my iphone?
I tried resorting but I still got the new memory status since I had synced my iphone several times trying to resolve the issue.
any help on this issue is highly appreciated

IPhone is lost while syncing with iTunes

Hi there,
for the longest time my iPhone hasnt been very friendly when syncing with iTunes.
It often disconnects, the iPhone plays that "I'm connected" sound out of nothing, then a few seconds later iTunes hangs and displays various error messages like "can't sync the device '', there is none" or so (in German of course, sorry for my bad translation).
Here's what Console.app tells me:

(note: the items after 20:58:17 are after I physically disconnected the iPhone)
This has long been a problem for me (since I had it), I've been re-installing iTunes for several times - it only got better once when I had 8.1 fresh reinstalled, but that's history now since there's iOS 3.0 and iTunes 8.2.
I've also checked this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1988855&start=0&tstart=0
The error messages are not quite the same, it also didn't fix my problem. Have removed all stuff from MobileDeviceService and MobileDevice.framework and so on rebooted afterwards, reinstalled iTunes 8.2 - nothing helps - it only keeps getting worse.
What can I do to make my iPhone sync again!?
Thanks in advance,

HT1535 How do I get my album cover's back on my IPad 2?,I sync with iTunes & lost all my album cover's

Each time my iPad sync with iTunes,I lose my album cover's,sometime's my video cover's
How can I get them back & stop it from happening in the future?

does it show up when you start itunes?
does it show up in my computer as a camera?

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.

IPod won't sync with iTunes on Windows 7/64 bit PC

I just updated my PC to Windows 7/64 bit. iPod will not sync with iTunes. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, and tried all the suggestions on the Internet (except restoring the iPod, too scary; and modifying registry on the PC, too too scary). The device thinks it has the most current software. The iPod tries to connect and appears briefly but then disconnects. A Windows message appears asking the following: "Do you want to scan and fix My iPod? There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it." If I tell it yes to scan it gives another error message that is it not recognized. If I tell it to skip the scan, the device disconnects and nothing happens. No syncing. I am at a loss as to how to fix this. Has anyone encountered this type of issue and if so - how did you resolve it. I don't want to restore the iPod as I do not know if it will ever connect and sync again and all the music on it now would be lost and the device would be useless. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Tikimom

HT1386 I have a new Iphone 5. Have downloaded 6.0.1 am in the process of syncing with itunes and it is taking hours to sync. I do backup to the cloud. I synced my iphone4s to computer prior to plugging iphone 5 so the latest data would be on system.

I have a new iphone 5. Trying to sync with itunes on my computer. Prior to plugging in new phone i made sure my other phone had synced with computer so all data was current. My old iphone does sync with cloud. When i plug in my iphone 5 for syncing it gets to step 5 and continues on for eternity...it has never completed syncing. This has been over a hour. Any ideas...ps old phone 4s backed up to cloud also and syncs would only take a minute or 2.

Correct. 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.

HT1212 my daughter has a brand new ipod touch - never used - she entered a passcode then immediately forgot it and now she has tried to enter one too many times and ipod is locked for 1 hour - she has never synced with itunes HELP

my daughter has a brand new ipod touch - latest one - she started to input a passcode then didn't finish the process then turned off ipod. she turned it back on and it is asking for a passcode - she doesn't remember what she typed. Ipod is now disabled for one hour. Can we override the disable. How do we reset passcode when we don't klnow the original. It has never been synced to Itunes. I am completely lost.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
