My iPod playlists are deleted every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro.

Every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro, my iPod playlists are deleted. I have all the sync features turned off on both the iPod and computer. What is happening? I hate having to remake my "Workout" playlist everytime I plug in!

Correct. All sync features are turned off and if is 'manually manage' somewhere, I have checked the box to do so. So basically everything is set for me to manage manually, yet my iPod playlists are still being deleted.

IPhoto launches every time i plug my iPad into my iMac

Every time I plug my ipad into my imac to sync it launches iphoto. Not sure why this continues to happen. Anyone have any ideas that can help me??

No promises but a system Reset cures many ills and takes but a minute to perform:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A Reset does NOT delete apps, photos, movies, music or any other data. A Reset does NOT delete any settings for email, network access, etc.
Also, you might wish to download the 4.2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 170.

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do?

Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do? i have even verified my appleID account..please help

Hey there Mark,
If this is indeed the first time that you have used your Apple ID in the iTunes or App store you do need to have a payment method the first time you set it up:
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment methodafter you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? Also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

No and Yes
Don't use TM for this purpose, clone your drive to an external, plug the external into another MBP and reboot from it. Please note that booting a machine that came with Lion may not be possible from a drive with Snow Leopard.

I am trying to upload photos from my iPhone to my macbook but each time I plug my iPhone into the macbook, a message comes up which says my device is locked with a passcode and I cannot load the photos. When I plug my phone in, it is on the home screen and unlocked so I don't understand what I am doing wrong. This has never occurred before. Please help.

Get a powered USB hub.

Every time i plug the phone into the computer i get a popup saying "the usb plugged in is drawing too much power". how am i going to get the song off that old phone and into my new mac

I recently got both an iphone 5 and a macbook air. im trying to take the songs off my old phone (iphone 4s) and get them onto my mac's itunes and then be able to sync them to my new 5. every time i plug in the 4s into the mac, it says that the USB is drawing too much power and has to be shut off. what should i do to recover my songs?

Are you using a usb hub or anything like that? If so, try without. Otherwise unplug everything from your mac and reboot with your iphone 4s plugged in and nothing else.
Hope it works!

Why does my phone sync every time I plug my phone into my computer?

Every time I plug my phone through my computer it sync's it. I takes a long time for my phone to sync with my computer. I was wondering why this was happening all the time and why does it take so long to sync?

Because that is the way Apple made it.
Whenever your phone is connected and iTunes is open it syncs.
If for whatever reason you do not want iTunes to open and synch with the iPhone, go into iTunes and turn that feature off.

Hey nataliexcupcakes,
If your iPhone isn't appearing under Devices in iTunes after you connect it, and it can't be restored, you'll want to follow along with this article for a resolution:

Itunes play lists are deleted every time I reboot my PC

Hi there,
I've recently purchased a Sony Vaio laptop and have installed the latest version of itunes. Only problem is every time I create new playlists, itunes forgets them / erases them when I reboot! I also have to import my library every time I reboot as no songs come up. Any ideas why this is? It's a real pain as I need playlists to organise my huge song collection.
Many thanks,
Miksweety

Many Vaio owners have seen this exact problem. There is some Sony media management software that causes a conflict with itunes saving its library database file.

Every time i plug my iphone into computer it wants to erase and sync

iphone was originally linked to my laptop... however i never transferred anything from the laptop to the iphone. i now want to use my desktop to transfer music. so i plug in the iphone, click the checkmark next to sync music. it says that the iphone is currently synced to another library and do i want to erase and sync? so i erase and sync and pick the music i want and transfer it to my phone. I unplug the phone, plug it back in again. in itunes it shows the music sync as unchecked... so i click the box to sync music and it says its associated with another library and it needs to erase and sync.
i have done this 4 times now. and everytime it wants me to erase and sync even though i just did it on the same computer with the same i phone 3 times in a row. i don't get it, why won't itunes/iphone sync with the new itunes library on my desktop??? what can i do to fix this issue?
i'm using newest itunes 11 on windows 8.1 computer. the computer has not been authorized... does this make a difference as to why the sync won't stick?
BTW i also hate how apple makes you sync your phone, android is so much easier to just plug the phone in and transfer your music/videos manually. never have a problem doing that. Only when apple tries to make it so easy it gets way more complicated than it needs to be!

Hi joy145,
If you are having issues syncing and would like to manually manage your content, you may find the following article helpful:
Apple Support: Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you are still having issues or continually prompted to erase and sync, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings before moving your data over (either via syncing or manually):
Apple Support: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Every time I plug my phone into my computer it starts to sync, but when I try to click on the info page, it says "Cannot sync calenders, or contacts' and then randomly crashes. Any help?

OK. So this started just, maybe 2 days ago, and I haven't done anything with it. Actually, it just started happening AFTER I updated iTunes (Silly iTunes!), which would have been 2 days ago. I really need some help!

Every time I close my lid to my Macbook Pro, the computer screen goes black and restarts before I can use it again. Any idea how I can fix this?

It's been going on recently and even though I've tried to do an Software Update and click "sleep" before closing the lid, nothing seems to work...
Has anyone else had this problem and would have recommendations on how to fix it?
Thank you!

I think the behaviour of closing the lid has changed between "before Lion" and "since Lion" - which OS version do you have? There is a free utility called InsomniaX that help control this behaviour - see http://semaja2.net/archives/206 for more info.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
