My music disappeared while trying to sync from iPhone to Mac??

I recently got a new Macbook Pro so I tried syncing all the songs from my iPhone to the laptop, however, when I tried doing that nearly all of my songs disappeared from my phone and didn't appear on the Mac at all... I had 1,500+ songs on my phone and that has gone down to 327 and I still only have like 14 songs on my iTunes on my Mac. I have another laptop with all of my songs on it so will I be able to get them back on my phone?
Also, will home sharing work for transferring the songs from my other laptop to my Mac because they use different apple ID's..

Please see this:

Follow the directions carefully!

  • While trying to sync my iPhone to iTunes, I'm stuck at Step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync"

    While trying to sync iPhone to iTunes, iTunes is stuck on step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync".  What should I do?

    Give it a lot of time.  If it just doesn't move on, then click the small disconnect icon in the left panel of itunes and reconnect and try again.

    Yes, I'm running ESET NOD32. I've disabled NOD temporarily but it still hangs on Calanders when syncing! Any ideas?
    Many thanks. There's a couple of alternatives.
    Either try the procedure in Samoreen's post:
    Re: iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
    Or, see if you can get hold of the Eset beta addressing the problem. As Samoreen notes in another post:
    ESET have a workaround for this issue. They gave me access to a test version of the HIPS module and this fixed the problem. So I could re-enable the ESET_OPTIONS environment variable (although I still consider that it's a questionable idea). I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5.5 and there was no problem.
    So maybe you should get in touch with ESET support and request the new module ? Just send a message to Marcos in the ESET forum.

  • Can't prevent books from being synced from iPhone to Mac

    Now that we have iCloud I can finally return my iTunes into being just a music jukebox. Apps, books, tv shows don't belong in iTunes in my Mac.
    I have been able to clear everything that is not audio from my iTunes. Keeping just music and audiobooks. Except for Books.
    Every time my iTunes syncs my iPhone through WiFi with iTunes it brings the purchased books back from the iPhone.
    If I uncheck the box to sync books, next time it rechecks it by itself and re-adds those books. Its quite frustrating. Then the books tab in the sidebar re-appers.
    I am assuming this is a bug. Anyone else having this issue? I looking forward for what I think will be iTunes 11 redesigned with iCloud in mind.

    Welp, I found a silly but working solution. Check out the post from RuleRulez on this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404369?start=15&tstart=0
    Basically, connect the phone to iTunes, go to the Info tab, and check the box to sync mail settings. It doesn't sync any accounts, only the settings for the accounts that are on both devices. Fixed mine. Crazy.
    Anyway, good luck! Hope that helps you guys!

  • I cannot get past backup while trying to sync the iphone 4s with itunes 10 using windows xp.  How do i fix this?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it is still not syncing right through past backing up.

    Did you try another USB cable to rule out a hardware problem?

  • Trying to sync from windows to MAC but not near my windows computer?

    Hello, I had Firefox Sync set up at work on my work computer (windows). I want to set up sync at home on my MAC. I no longer work at my previous job...so, I have no access to that particular computer. I didn't realize that sync was specific to the device...I thought I could just sign on to Firefox at home and sync but nothing happens when I do. I haven't paired this MAC...don't think I was asked too and can't find directions that work. Is it a MAC to PC issue or am I missing something? Thanks so much for the help.

    With the new Sync version used in current Firefox releases you enter the name and password of the Firefox account on each computer to connect to the Sync account.
    You can no longer pair a new device by entering a pairing key on a connected device.

  • Some Voice Memos do not sync from iPhone to Mac?

    I recorded a number of meetings to my iPhone using the Voice Memo app. When I sync with my Mac, most of these transfer to iTunes, but a handful don't, for no reason I can see. I did not record them any differently from the ones that made it across. I tried emailing the missing memos to myself from within Voice Memo, but the email silently failed, perhaps because the files are too large (almost an hour).
    I've seen other similar threads on the web - the suggestion to uncheck and re-check the "Include Voice Memos" box did not help.
    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
    (My suggestion for Apple is that iTunes and Voice Memo need a big usability upgrade.)

    In the music part of your iphone in itunes, uncheck the box for syncing voice memos. Then apply changes. Check that it is all gone on your iphone. Go back to itunes and check the box for voice memos and sync. Itunes would copy the voice memos back to your iphone in the process.
    that worked for me. +Don't forget to update to ios 6 latest, as apple fixed (at least improved) the bug causing wrongly sync music/voice memos not appearing.

  • Contacts won't sync from iPhone to Mac Air

    I have had an iPhone 5C for the past year with iOS 7.1.2 (the most recent iOS).
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air with OS X version 10.9.4.
    My issue is that none of my newly created contacts will sync with my Mac's contacts. Every time I go to iTunes to sync my contacts it says my contacts are automatically synced over iCloud, which isn't a problem for me, except it doesn't work... I've checked my iCloud settings. My contacts from all my accounts are supposed to be synced, and yet I am missing about 70 contacts from my Mac contacts. I also tried to turn off Contact sync, and then see no way to manually sync my contacts.
    I use both my mac and phone to message people frequently, and its irritating and confusing when I have no idea who I am messaging on my Mac. Does anyone know where I need to start to fix this problem?

    Hello samaras,
    if you turned on iCloud Contacts Sync, then you shouldn't use iTunes for syncing your contacts between your devices.
    Please make sure that your (the same) iCloud account is set up on all your devices:
    iOS: Settings > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
    Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
    BTW: Make sure that you saved your contacts in the iCloud section of your address book and not only locally.
    For more information regarding setting up iCloud on your devices please see also the following website: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • Would a backup occur if I was downloading pictures to Picassa 3. Did a real backup take place w/I-Tunes ? I don't remember if I saw that. Three days later while trying to sync I had a msg "iTnes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

    Would a backup occur if I was downloading pictures to Picassa 3 ??? Did a real backup take place w/I-Tunes, at that same time ???   I don't remember if I saw that on the screen.  Three days later while trying to sync my iPHone,  I had a msg "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Concern:  Will I lose all my media and other data ?  Just hate to push the RESTORE & UPDATE button, only to find out I have LOST all that stuff.  My son says it should be backed up when I did the 4.3.2 of iPhone. Concerned a ton over this problem. 
    Thanks to anyone out there who might be able to help.  Would appreciate any ideas.
      PLS HELP

    Syncing photos does NOT sync the phone; the camera is considered a separate device from the rest of the iPhone. You sync with iTunes, and should do it often enough so you don't cry if you lose all data on the phone.
    At this point you have no choice; there is no way to NOT restore it. If the last backup is not corrupt it should restore the phone as of the time of the last backup.

  • I'm trying to sync my iPhone 5 with music from my iTunes library!

    I'm trying to sync my iPhone 5 with music from my iTunes library and when i click "sync selected playlists" it tells me i have 501 songs when i know those playlists only contain 120 max! When i untick the playlists the number of songs doesn't change. Nor does it change when i re click the playlists i want! Surely if i do not tick any playlists i'm choosing not to sync any songs? My 16GB phone keeps telling me my interal storage is full. I seem to constantly be backing up and then deleting photos to make room. I have 5.02 GB take up by "other" can anyone tell me what this is? TIA

    Hi Rennagade,
    If you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer in iTunes, even after you have already done so, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:

  • PleaHi, se help, ive just tried to sync my Iphone with my PC and it wouldnt allow me to for some reason. I disconnected and just tried to play some of my music from my Iphone and loads of my playlists have completely vanished, im gutted.

    HI, PLEASE HELP I'VE JUST TRIED TO SYNC MY IPHONE WITH MY PC, IT WOULD'NT ALLOW ME, LATER WHEN I DISCONNECTED AND TRIED TO PLAY SOME MUSIC THROUGH MY PHONE ALMOST ALL MY MUSIC HAS GONE PLEASE HELP !!!!!!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
