Music, photos, and apps lost after upgrading on new computer

Someone please help! I just upgraded 3G to 3.1.3 on new computer and lost all my music, photos, and apps. Is there anyway I can get them back. I backed up my phone before the upgrade, the phone was wiped clean, then retored to original settings, then it restored to back up, but I lost all the above in the process. Thanks Sheila

By design, the iPhone syncs iTunes-managed media content (music, videos, apps, photos) with _one and only one_ computer. That content was erased from the phone. The backup won't help - iTunes content is not backed up. You need to sync to the computer you synced to +prior to+ upgrading (the 'old computer'). Or, move your iTunes library, etc., from the old computer to the new computer and sync to that.

  • All contacts, photos and apps deleted after updating to IOS 6

    After updating my 4s to IOS 6 all my contacts, photos and apps were deleted.  I even tried connecting to itunes and restoring to backup with no luck.  Any idea how I can re-gain all my contacts, photos and apps?

    Use iTune to update your apps.
    Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • ITunes and Audible compatibility after transfer to new computer

    I've had a serious compatibility problem between iTunes and Audible eversince transferring to a new computer. This after iTunes and Audible worked seamlessly for two+ years on my old computer.
    At first iTunes would not accept my Audible username/password, then after reinstalling and updating both iTunes and Audible Manager I received a "you cannot authorize any more computers for this account. You must deauthorize at least one other computer . ." error message. I've deauthorized, then authorized my computer twice in an attempt to correct whatever is causing this (two computers are automatically authorized when I've done this) but I still get the "you cannot authorize . . " error message whenever I try to import my Audible files.
    I'm using an external HD (from the old computer)as my music folder location for iTunes, however Audible is downloading to my computer's HD. Can this have something to do what's going on? I've also tried disabling the firewall with no success. Have also made sure Audible and Apple are both "allowed" in Firefox's content. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

    I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.

  • Moving photos and associated tags, etc. to a new computer

    I have just updated APE-7 to APE-11 on my old computer which is running Windows 7.    The transition went well.   All photos and tags moved seamlessly to the new programs format.   I need advice on how best to transfer all of that to a new computer which is also running Windows-7.    You can think of the new computer as a clean slate, other than the fact that I installed APE-11 on it as well.
    Question 1:   Should I begin by manually transfer all photos from the "My Pictures" folder on the old computer to the "My Pictures" folder on the new computer prior to using the "Restore Catalog" function or does that automatically happen when I use the "Restore Catalog" function within APE-11 to transfer Keywords and Tags?
    Question 2:   I would appreciate it if someone would provide a link to an Adobe document that might give a detailed explanation as to how to use the "Restore Catalog" function, to a new, computer.   Or, perhaps a detailed step-by-step description of how to accomplish it in a way that all Keywords and Tags will remain associated with each picture.

    You need to perform a backup in PSE7 and then move the backup you create in PSE7 (which includes photos and the catalog and associated files) to the new computer, then restore.

    I cannot figure out where I did wrong, honestly speaking.
    Or, maybe it is because of the automatic sync function in iTunes? This time when I connected the iPhone with the computer, I was reminded to update iTunes - then I did so; by default, "Automatic sync when this iPhone is connected" is checked so the computer was syncing with the iPhone via iTunes. However I remember that there were notifications saying something like "this iPhone was synced to another iTunes library" and I needed to erase this iPhone to sync it to the new library - then I followed; if I cancel, I wouldn't have any option to sync my iPhone with my computer.
    Do you think it is because this operation that iTunes gave me the previous sync data that didn't contain the latest photos/videos?
    iphone are meant to be sync to only one iTunes library.
    so you went ahead with the sync and it erase all your data?

  • How can I sync apps again after getting a new computer without deleting?

    HI folks. So I had to reinstall my computer but I have a backup of everything on a hard drive. My question is what I need to copy over to make sure that my apps can sync again without deleting my apps on my iPad currently. Every time I got to check the apps for sync it tells me the ones on my iPad will be deleted which I do not want. Looking for assistance. Thanks.

    Itunes remembers what u have downloaded (free and paid apps) so if u have to 'authorize' the computer again as a new computer, (u r allowed 5) itunes will just reinstall apps and app info eg saved games scores etc will be still there after restore or update.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC Crashes on startup after upgrading to new computer monitors

    Hey everybody, I am tech-savvy so go ahead and throw detailed answers at me. I recently updated to Windows 8.1 because Premiere Pro CC (version 7.2.1) crashed on startup in Windows 8. After the update to Win8.1, it worked fine with my old 19in. VGA full-screen monitors. However, after I installed new HD wide-screen monitors yesterday, I opened Premiere Pro and it started up just fine and is stable until it processes a video file. If I'm fast enough, it will successfully import a file from the media browser, but as soon as it "processes" the video in the media browser or the video in the timeline, Windows gives me the error "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has encountered an error and must be shut down". I tried every trick in the book- including changing the monitor refresh rate down from 144Hz to 60Hz, tried using an HDMI cable instead of DVI-D, and tried reinstalling Premiere Pro (restarting the computer at the proper points in the process), and tried setting it to render using no GPU acceleration (Mercury software only). Nothing seems to work. Below are the specs on my computer:
    CPU: AMD FX-8120, GPU: Dual AMD HD Radeon 6670's 1GB GDDR3 each outputting to its own monitor via DVI-D Dual Link, Monitors are ASUS VG248QE 24" running 1920x1080p resolution @ 144Hz, 7200RPM Western Digital HDD.

    I had this same problem on my HP laptop that has two video cards. I had to dissable the Intel 4000 in order to get Premiere CC to function. However, once this one done, it was no longer possible to use the external monitor (even when I closed the lid, it simply would not recognize the external monitor). Thus, each time I'm using Premiere CC then I have to disconnect the monitor and use device managre in Win8.1 to dissable Intel. It's really a huge pain in the arse. Also, I do not have an option to choose to choose a second monitor in Win8 once the Intel is dissabled. I've updated both drivers - so, I guess that's the only solution there is for my laptop. I'd suggest not using this software with a HP laptop that has two graphics cards.

    After i Updated itunes al my ipod apps including safari and music, photos and all of them went away and i cannot do anything on it anymore please help?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
    - If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • After system restore to back up have lost texts, photos and app data

    Speakers not working on iphone all of a sudden and volume switches not working (just the volume comes up but no bars at the bottom).  So did system restore and more problems.
    After I did this restore (to my backup done today) to my iphone 4s, I now have no text messages on my phone, no photos and no data on my nike running app (6months of records of runs).  Have searched through these forums and still stuck.
    I think I'm going to have to take my iphone somewhere for the speaker issue, but have no idea where as optus sent it out to me directly via mai l(Adelaide, Australia).  
    In the meantime, I really want my texts, photos and app data back on my phone.
    any help HUGELY appreciated..

    thanks for your reply.  I am trying the restore again now.
    But no, I still have no sound, so it was all for naught.  Its fine if I have headphones in, and fine if its in a dock or connected to bluetooth, the phone also rings and I can hear people on the phone:  the only sound that doesnt work is music playing through the speaker, and video.  Also when I press the volume up and down buttons, nothing works.  I suspect there is something wrong with the docking connection as far as I can see from other peoples questions on here.
    But the loss of texts and app data is just the icing on the cake

  • I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new.  I pressed old and lost  recent photos and apps.  what can i do to undo this mess

    An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes.  In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps.  Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

    So, what i need to is
    1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
    2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
    Is it correct?
    After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
    1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
    Or need to do manually?
    Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
    How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
