My iTunes and iPhone have completely different music libraries, how do I get them together?

My iTunes music library and iPhone4 songs are completely different. How do I get the songs I've purchased on my phone into my iTunes library without wiping something out?

File>Transfer Purchases
How did you get different content?
The iphone is designed to mirror the selected content of your computer. It is not a storage device.

Hi All,

All of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

I synced my phone to the new iTunes, and all my purchased songs disappeared. How to I get them to show up?

You should have been sycning them with your computer all along. Sync them from your computer back to the iphone.

My websites and UI have suddenly become huge. How can I get them back to a normal, smaller size?

Yesterday all of a sudden my webpages and UI appeared to be magnified. While I can zoom out on websites, I cannot find any option to adjust the size of the UI.
I noticed that Firefox 22 (which I am running) has a new feature: "Windows: Firefox now follows display scaling options to render text larger on high-res displays". Is it possible to adjust how Firefox responds to the display scaling options perhaps?
''07-27-13 - moderator locked this due to the length of this two month old thread - please post in one of the other threads discussing this issue''

WARNING!!!
This is extremely bad advice! =(
I tried 0.05 and and that broke my FF 22 installation irreversibly, since all text became unreadable.
==Please Note==
This is explained in the next post but is not visible from all pages so I am adding it in directly
''The steps have a resolution of 0.05 (0.95 0.9 0.85 0.8)
Of course you shouldn't go back all the way to 0.05 or you would have to edit the prefs.js file ''
 A forum moderator ~J99
Then don't post "0.05" as a value, when people ask what to put in that variable.
Of course people will try it.
And of course nobody would expect 0.05 to be '''smaller '''than both -1 '''and '''1, on an unknown scale.

Fortunately i could go back to version 21.
I spent a couple of hours googling this problem, and trying various workarounds, which the web is now overflowing with.
But it seems impossible to completely get FF22 not looking like shit and distorting the crap out of all websites.
Now i have turned off updating, and will stick with 21 until this idiotic garbage is removed from Firefox.
And besides, even IF i could have applied some hack, SO WHAT?
99.99999% of all users wont be able to, or wont bother to do it, or wont know its even an option, which means we then have to start designing websites that both look good on non-swollen AND swollen (Firefox) browsers!
Congratulation to making FF the new IE6.
OBVI-FU**ING-OUSLY its NOT a good idea to start telling people to apply various hacks to work around this, since this will fragment the way the same sites look in the same browsers (even more so).
The correct response is to grasp that this "feature" is broken and remove it, or fix it, an stop rolling out the broken version before it does even more damage.
How the F can they roll out something THIS epically broken?
I have found posts dating back months, from people using beta versions, who reported exactly this problem.
And STILL it was rolled out?

The message function on my Ipad just quit working. I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit. I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work. How do I get this function to work again?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Extract the hard drive from the faulty computer and recover the library from it or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. (At least one link in there may be useful even if you don't have such a device.)

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

Have you synced back up to your iTunes account? This happened to me too, and when I synced back up with iTunes, all of my photos were backed up to my iTunes account and loaded back onto my iPhone.

I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.

Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
