My computer died, so trying to connect my phone on a new computer and download all my music to the new computer/itunes?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is oen way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purhases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Connect in recovery mode and restore, as described in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

Hi NYYJMM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?

Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

You don't download it to your iphone.
It is for your computer, not your iphone.
Update itunes on your computer.

I had itunes installed on a notebook, then installed on my new notebook and now all my music has disappeared off my iphone 5. ANd when i tried updating itunes on old notebook it didn't install. Help

I had itunes installed on my old ACer and went to install itunes on my new HP. It has removed all my music from my phone.and when I tried earlier to update itunes on old acer it wouldn't install properly.

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.

How can I transfer the application Keynote from my old computer to a new one and get rid of it on the old computer?

My MBP from 2008 is being retired by my university and they gave me a new MBP. They transferred everything from their image and all my iWork documents were transferred. However, since I added Keynote, Numbers, and Pages, they did not transfer. He said they cannot transfer them since they are not part of their image and active directory.
How can I get the iWork apps to my new computer and disengage them on the old computer without paying another $60?
Thanks so much for any advice.
Best,
HED

If you installed them from a DVD, you need to install that DVD onto the new computer. If you got them from the Mac App Store, redownload them from there for free.
Having previously purchased an application on DVD or from the iTunes App Store does not allow a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

I have an Ipod that I downloaded my own music from the old computer. I would like to add them to my Itune account, but more importantly I would like to get them onto my new computer. Any solutions?

I have a Ipod that has my personal music on it from a previous computer. I would like to sync the music from the Ipod to my new computer. How can I do this?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
Use your backup copy of your old comptuer to put everything on the new one.

HT4527 In trying to consolidate all my music on the old computer, I got this message: "Copy files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." What can i do to consolidate?

How can i fix this?

Go to the songs view sorted as Album by Artist. Select, for example, the songs of artists whose names begin A-E. Right-click and click consolidate files. Assuming this group consolidate without error move on to another group, say F-J. If there is an error divide the original group into smaller chunks until you can isolate which tracks are causing a problem.

I purchased a new iPhone and synced all of my apps from my computer. Now my Facebook app isn't displaying my friends under my friends list. If I scroll down below Z it's says that I have 600 friends but I'm not sure why the list is blank. How do I fix?

I synced my new iPhone from my computer. When I log into my Facebook app my friends list appears blank. How do I fix this?

Try deleting the FB app and reinstalling it. That seems to have fixed the problem for me.

HT4914 can i download all my music again back to my computer?

Can i download all my music back to my computer from Itunes Match?

Hello ekundayo95,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
Best of luck,
Mario
