Lost top rated and playlists while trying to sync
somehow when i reloaded my library, all my top rated songs were gone. they were still on my pod. and i tried to sync (as per other posts) my top rated but it ended up taking them OFF my pod!!!! i had about 700 songs rated. It took a long time. now all i have is a couple of previous itunes library files which i'm hoping i can use to restore some of the ratings.
anyone know how to do this?
also is there a better player that actually syncs correctly (ie checking for duplicates ratings in itunes and ipod and then filling in the gaps so that it is the same for both itunes and ipod)
This is a very weak point of itunes. I need a program that can sync one playlist like my top rated and also let me manage manually.
Thanks.
There are never any contacts or photos in itunes. Itunes is for music/movies/books.
You should have been syncing contacts to your computer regularly (Outlook for example) and you should have been importing photos taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
If you have failed to do this, then all is likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

Unknown error (-48 and -208) while trying to sync ipod
I plug in my ipod to sync it and several things happen. First, it will flash in and out of itunes every few minutes, as if sometimes it is not recognizing that it is connected. When it does recognize it, I get a -48 or a -208 error message saying it cannot be synced. Occasionally it will stay connected for a few minutes, and the status bar at the top will say "updating ipod," but it really isn't. Any ideas?
see if this helps

Can my Wife and I have separate 'My Top Rated' Smart Playlists using the Same iTunes Match Library?
My wife and I would like to have separate 'My Top Rated' Smart Playlists in iTunes Match. We use the same library, and this seems to be the glitch. I've heard that you can configure this type of thing, but how?
Hi,
I don't think this would work if you wanted to have the same song on the list.
Instead of the smart playlist option, I think you need to create a standard play list by identifying your top rated songs and create playlist from the selection.

While trying to sync my calendar to my new mac, I lost all my calendar events on my iPhone. Best guess is I didn't set up icloud on my phone first and my computer deleted them. Is there any way to recover my calendar from iCloud?
Your music will only be where you put it.
Did you copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one? -
Now that I installed Match and icloud I tried to sync my ipod and the previous songs that i transferred to my lap top from CD's will not transfer to my ipod.
That is correct. This

"Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi"
"Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi" I have been having this problem now and then for some time. Now, I can't run any audio files without a lot of popping. I tried all the suggestions on the support document for this issue. I even downloaded new drivers from Motu for my Express XT Midi interface and my 828MK11 Audio interface. There has been no change. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!
Also, I have tried reseting the 828 to factory default and that does not help.
Jonathan JenkinsHi,
I solved my own problem by resetting the factory presets:
Follow these steps to restore the MOTU 828mkII to Factory Default Settings.
Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
Press the Setup knob
Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
Press the Select knob
Press the Value knob
Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable back in
Power the interface back on
The same steps can be followed to restore the Factory Default Settings on a Traveler.

My new purchases will not sync into my playlist and get and will not show up on my iphone playlist of the same name, and I just tried to sync a new cd into my library and it is not showing up on my iphone.
Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

we have 2 I phones and when I tried to sync my I phone to the computer for a back up(have only 1 account) i lost all my phone contents and my phone has all the contacts/messages etc of my daughter's phone. I had ok'd to "restore settings" in the process. How do get all the contents/contacts of my phone back?
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:

I do not think it included audio books. -

Sincere, The Silver ConductorCheck the clock source on your audio interface if you're using one. It should be set to internal. What's your setup?

I have lost IMEI number and WIFI while downgrading on Iphone 3GS 8GB.Would I get back IMEI while resotring?
Since you attempted to downgrade the phone, you have no warranty and your ability to get support here or from Apple has been forfeited.
You're on your own. A Missing IMEI is generally unfixable. Buy a new phone. -

you can check your saved backups in iTunes/settings/devices
then choose restore ipod and select your old backup to restore from.

Game room doesn't work, as it tries to save nickname and hangs while trying to save nickname info
Game room doesn't work, as it tries to save nickname and hangs while trying to save nickname info
From my understanding, trying to save apple server specific attributes on Active Directory users in the WGM will not work unless the AD schema has been extended to include these attributes.
What you can do in leopard server is to export the list of AD users in WGM and then import them into open directory in WGM.
From my testing the open directory will automatically authenticate with AD for those imported users. You can save Apple server attributes on those imported users.

2. It's wiped -
I was trying to contact my wife in another country on a trip as I have several times since she has been away. Today we connected and then lost the signal and when I tried her again I got connected to someone in CA. How does that happen??
Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
