  • HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

    I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

    Thanks Turingtest2,
    I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it.  I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
    However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then.  Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
    It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
    If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

    You should have transferred them to your computer regularly and included them in your backup copy of your computer.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • TS1702 I lost all of my apps when i updated my iphone 4.  How can I get them back on my phone?

    I updated my phone and lost all of my apps.  How can I get the apps on iTunes back on my phone?

    I lost all of my apps icons today as well.  I have to go to the Apps Store and click on the the app.  Can't re-dowload and the app. store says that all of my apps. updates were applied.  Where is this Synch Apps and the Apps Tab?  On the phone or in iTunes.  I hope that this works for me, too.
    PS - every update that I have done has required a restore, and I only have a couple dozen apps.  The Apple rep. I spoke with today said that I have to redownload the apps, but can't do that and even if I could I would loose my data.  Grrrrrrr.

  • I've managed to delete the NoScript menu bar and the NoScript option when I right click a page, how do I get them back?

    I was trying to allow a website on the NoScript menu, when I must have accidentally pressed something and the entire menu bar disappeared. While I was trying to correct this, I then managed to remove the NoScript option from the right-click menu. So now I cannot access my NoScript and I've tried re-installing it but nothing works. How do I get them back?

    menu bar is missing:

  • I was cleaning out my itunes and a bunch of music that I didn't delete is gone. how can I get it back?

    I was under the impression that I needed more space to use the new version of IOS 8 on my iMac, which is 8 years old. So I was getting rid of a lot of the music that I had in my iTunes that I had burned and already owned on CD and accidentally deleted a ton that I downloaded from iTunes. Is there any way to get that music back without buying it again?

    Yes. Anything you purchased from iTunes can be downloaded again free of charge: Download past purchases

  • All of the font on my webpages is in italics. How can I get it back to normal? I tried going through the Troubleshooting steps, and opening it in Safe Mode; that did not fix the problem.

    I went through an Adobe update and when my computer rebooted, the default font for everything was in italics. For example, when I go to Yahoo.com, the headings for all the news articles and tabs are in italics. I tried going through the Troubleshooting steps to no avail. I am frustrated because I followed the advice of checking the default font under Tools, then I opened the browser in Safe Mode, then I checked to make sure all the fonts were available. So how can I get my fonts back to normal? The italics gives me a headache.

    The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
    As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
    you will have to reinstall that corrupted font.

  • I have lost all of my FAVORITES (tabs, not bookmarks) after an update! How do I get them back now?

    After an update of Firefox, I lost all my tabs (not bookmarks). I searched all the help info and found nothing that said how to replace tabs only bookmarks. Please help, this is most frustrating!

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Lost all my thumbnails - new tabs open only a blank page. How do I get them back?

    The support topic on this question says to look for a "pin" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs page with the thumbnails, but it is no longer doing that, and I don't know how to fix it.
    I downloaded some freeware that changed a number of browsing options (default browser, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Got that all removed but then Firefox wasn't working well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumbnails are gone and I can neither get them back nor create new ones.
    Help!
    Cheers, Dolly

    MOST EXCELLENT. Not only did this work, but I was able to do it all very easily AND it brought back all my previously set up thumbnails in the order I had them arranged on the new tab pages! Wonderful.
    I will definitely keep these instructions for future reference, but I had already gone in and deleted all apps and extensions that I did not recognize as from Firefox or that I hadn't added myself. So I'm pretty sure I got rid of the pesky malware that caused the problem already. Great links for that task however.
    Thank you SO much!!
    Cheers, Dolly

  • I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.

  • I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?  I stupidly synced the wrong one.

    I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage when I thought I was syncing correctly I wasn't so I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? 

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

    Open the mail app then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slide to power off thing appears. Without sliding the bar, press and hold the home button until the app quits.
    Also clear the mail app from multitasking bar too. Then open mail app and check again

  • I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this?

    I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this? i have an ipod 5 with ios 7.1.2. ive tried restarting my computer restarting my ipod and restoring it. i also tried to delete apps nothing works.

    This happened to me with the same device. I wouldn't worry about having it just say other as that is just information, if you really need to know what is using the most of your device's storage to to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage and that will tell you what apps are using in terms of your storage. Besides that, "other" is just iTunes knowing that there is information, how much there is, just not what it is. So syncing your device a few times and letting it stay plugged in should allow iTunes to recognize what information is on your iPod. Hope I could help!
