My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago (never bothered to fix it as the dvd drive had also failed so not worth it). Nevertheless, I finally decided to sync my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music
My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago. I finally synced my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music on the phone including most of the purchases. Can I get the music back (restore didn't help)?
Okay, I finally got the couple of songs left on the phone to play by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the pc and re syncing. The last version I installed (just prior to my original post) failed to start due to some unspecified error?!?. Great!. But I still couldn't sync the itunes purchases from the PC to the iPhone. Then, after about an hour of googling and reading assorted posts mostly about using google to resolve the issue, I finally figured out that I have to actually download ALL the purchased albums from iCloud back onto the iPhone! There are hundreds of them, and some are not even available anymore.
Why do I have to do that when I originally purchased and downloaded all the music to the phone? Why are they all on the PC to begin with and why won't they go to the phone via the USB cable? Why didn't all the music get wiped out on the phone when I synced with the dodgy itunes I had to uninstall. never mind.
I accept that all my original music from cds and shared collections is gone on the failed mbp hard drive, but how come this once okay experience has become a trauma? Hundreds of songs to download all over again, sheesh, this has not exactlybeen a "That Was Easy" experience guys.

I synced my iPhone to my husband's computer not knowing that it would wipe out his iTunes account and replace his content with mine. Obviously, not good. Any ideas on how to fix this??
Syncing an iphone should have no effect at all on the content of the computer.
Are you saying the the itunes library on the computer was effected? -
When are the faster i7 quad core (2.7ghz) chips going to ship in the MacBook Pros, Intel announced them over a month ago. Trying to make a buying decision.

Are these mobile processors? Because that will answer your question right there. -
I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down by itself and dont work anymore. From apple say even a year has not passed it is not under garancy and I should pay to fix it without ans issue.

I had to do a restore on my IPhone yesterday. It wiped out all my music. How do I get it back?
With the phone connected to the computer and iTunes, sync the music back.

Airplay and airfoil cut out all the time
Whenever I stream music from my mba via either iTunes or AirFoil to my speakers the sound will cut out all the time. If I switch the sound output in sound preferences to the airplay speakers then everything works fine and there's no cutting out. How can this be fixed so that I don't have to change the system preferences everytime I want to play music to the airplay speakers?

I have a new laptop and i have authorized it with my apple ID but I can't sync my iphone with it because it is currently synced to another computer. Every time I try and sync my music it comes up with the message ' are you sure you want to remove existing music, films, tv programmes,books and tones from this iphone and sync with this itunes library' which i DONOT want to do! Also on my laptop none of my apps are there so I would assume i would lose all of those from my Iphone as well!
Please help, looked at other threads and all they suggest is to click on 'transfer purchases' but this is not an option anywhere on itunes..!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!what does "Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications on your computer(iCal & Address Book on a Mac, Windows Address Book or Outlook if using Windows). These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty" mean???

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy
Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start. -
Match lost my entire music library. It isn't in my music on my phone. That's over $1500 in music, lost Please help.
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
After upgrading my iPad 1 to 5.0 OS it seemed to reboot and set my system back to the factory default. I lost all my music, photos, and apps. What the heck did I do wrong? How do I get them back? Nothing transfers when I sync.
Just experienced the same problem. If there was fine print saying "by the way we'll wipe out all our apps and content in your tools" I must have missed it.

I accidentally wiped out all the songs on my iTunes a few weeks ago! Help!
I accidentally turned off my computer without selecting shut down, and when I got back on it while connecting my iPod, my entire library and previous libraries were completely wiped out and iTunes thinks my ipod is from a different computer. Now everythings on my mini, but it still thinks it's from a different computer, so I can only add songs. Is there anything I can do?

please help, i am wondering if i can have both an itunes account from the usa and canada on the same ipod without wiping out my music and apps.???
You can retain the apps and music for the USA account. However, you can only use the iTunes store in the country you are physically located. Thus, you can't update the USA purchased app when in Canada. See the following too:

Problem started after I unintentionally downloaded some adware 4 days ago. After lots of aggressive ads slowed down my browser I downloaded and ran AdwareMedic which seemed to do the job and browser was back to normal. Then, possibly a coincidence, everything on the computer started running slower. I've backed up everything and have run a EtreCheck report.
When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Another thing is that I can't get into my iPhone, as in I can only get to the shiny Apple screen and nothing else.
