My iPhone5 has music on it but I've unclicked "Sync Music" in iTunes.

My iPhone5 has music on it but I've unclicked "Sync Music" in iTunes. If I do sync music, I get all sorts of duplicates. How to fix?

If your phone was originally synced with another library and you are trying to sync with a new one it will delete the data on the phone. However if you select to just sync your apps and not your mucic then you will be fine.

Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My phone has version 2.0 but it still doesnt sync?

my phone has 2.0 but it still doesnt sync. it gives the message: itunes unable to load dataclass info from sync services. anyone know whatsup? thanks.

Try this:
Uninstall your version of iTunes. Then, go to the Apple website and download the iTunes 7.7 to your desktop and reinstall. **Do not** use the auto update feature to install the software. You MUST download it yourself and then run the installer. Then, open iTunes again and it should prompt you to restore your phone. *Very important*, choose the back up file from just before you installed 2.0 if you want your latest data. Good luck!

I have a ton of music in my iTunes directory, but it won't sync to my iTunes

I used to have three playlists - Husband's list, my list, and purchased, but now all I can see are my purchased list and it seems like I no longer have the other playlists. But I have all of the music I've copied from my own CDs to iTunes stored here - C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, however the only music that shows up in my iTunes Library are the songs/albums I've purchased from iTunes store.
I found a link on the forum to locate "lost" playlists, and I do have three here C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries, but I'm not sure what to do from there. An honestly, the largest size file is 52KB and I know that is way too small to store all of the music referenced above.
I feel like this all happened when the last major iOS upgrade came out for my iPad (original iPad).
Thanks!!

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Iphone5 problem - music from iTunes won't go onto phone

iphone5problems
29-Sep-2012 13:04
MY PROBLEM:
got the iphone 5 yesterday and when i connect my iphone to itunes in the capacity bar it seems to say 5.9gb of music is on my phone after ive synced it etc when i check my phone though it says ive no songs in my music library.
I bought a song on itunes on the app on my phone to see if that would atleat go into my music library and that wont either.
When i go into about it says I have 0 songs so they are obviously not hidden anywhere but they just wont go on either
Im scared this is a software problem and when i read apples warranty it said software problems are not covered even though my phones a day old and i got it for my birthday:(:(
Tried restoring phone too and it wouldnt let me restore it, it said it had to download one iphone update before it could restore and just at the end of the iphone update every time i tried the update failed so i cant even restore my phone
Any suggestions? 50 mins on the phone to apple and they werent much help
*using iphone 5 ios 6 and 10.7 itunes
*some songs on my laptop from cds/illegal downloads others downloaded from itunes NONE will go on phone

I have the same problem, when I try to sync it starts off fine (connected via USB) and after a few seconds it ejects the phone and then tells me off for disconnecting it without doing it properly. Phone works fine by itself but will not sync - this is just part of a whole host of problems I'm getting with iTunes though so I've pretty much moved onto Spotify with teh premium package as that actually works!
Will try the restart as suggested though!

New computer but synced to old itunes on old hard drive

Hi i had to get a new hard drive on my home computer and itunes had to be reloaded to new computer. I tried to upload my ipod but it states its synced to another itunes but that hard drive no longer exists and it wont transfer from my ipod now when i plug it in. how do i solve this problem?!!

transfer your ipod directly to the new pc and there you go. itunes won't tell you that your ipod has been synced with another library. Just follow these instructions: http://www.ehow.com/how4451912transfer-ipod-itunes.html

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
Thanks

I get this problem every day or two when trying to connect my ATV 2 running 5.1.1 to iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.8.2 (though it started happening with earlier releases of both ATV software and iTunes. I think it started happening regularly following the installation of the ATV 5.0 software, with I think iTunes 10.6 or thereabouts.) They're connected over WiFi via an Airport Extreme basestation.
The TV simply shows a black screen with:
'Could not connect to "<iTunes library name>"'. 'Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV , the iTunes version is up to date, and iTunes is running.'
I've found the way to fix this problem when it happens is to restart the Apple TV (Settings>General>Restart). This always seems to correct it and allows me to connect to iTunes successfully once again, but the problem always returns sooner or later and I've not been able to determine what triggers it exactly. It seems to happen more often if the iMac running iTunes has been put to sleep with iTunes running and subsequently woken, but it also happens sometimes when I wake ATV and try to connect it to a freshly booted iMac and newly launched iTunes.
I keep hoping a new release of ATV software will fix it but neither 5.1 nor 5.1.1 made any noticable difference and neither have newer releases of iTunes.
