New 4s will not sync properly with existing 3gs data in itunes

I just purchased a new 4s to replace my old 3GS. When i connect my new 4s and trying to sync to i-tunes to apps from my 3gs snyc will not come into my 4s. I also have a i-pad2 that also snyc's to the same computer.
Should i un-install my itunes, re-install i-tunes on my PC, sync my old 3gs again and then try to sync my 4s again?

I have a problem with sorting playlists using iPhone 4/iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5. I use the field "comments" to sort my playlists, when sorting by the field "comments" ascending everything is OK, but when "sorting" by the field "comments" descending it keeps appearing ascending.
I also notice that the name of the playlists appear inverted between iTunes and iPhone.
I did not have this problem before, this a new issue with iTunes 10.5/iOS 5. Need help to fix these sorting issue problems in iTunes 10.5.

  • My old computer is broken, my ipod will not sync properly with the new PC. Old purchases

    My old computer has broken and I have replaced it with a new one.  I have the latest version of Itunes on the new one, which is running windows 8.
    Old music which was already on the IPOD, and any purchases through Itunes appear on both the IPOD and the ITunes account on the PC, however a new CD which I am trying to upload to ITunes appears only on the computer and does not appear to be syncing to the Ipod.
    I have tried home sharing options, reinstalling Itunes, and removing the old device from the itunes account but nothing appears to be working.  Sync looks like it is happening, but very quickly says its finished and does not transfer the new items.
    On the IPOD itself, it says it will sync when connected to 'master' PC (which I am guessing is the old one, which is no longer on the account and cannot be used).
    All the music is in one place on the new PC.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    I just bought a new 32 gb ipod touch and it will not sync up with my itunes. I don't get an error message or anything like that, it just does not sync up. HELP!

    Have you Authorised your Computer...
    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP

    My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
    I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

    If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    Here is again the short version:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > GO    hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
    In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
    Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
    The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.

  • My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

  • My new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes

    my new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes.  I am on a Windows system

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

  • Not Syncing Properly with Gmail

    Hello fellow Mac owners/fans,
    I am new to Snow Leopard. Just upgraded from Tiger today. Such a nice improvement! Anyways, as such, I was setting everything up when I ran into a problem with Mail
    Mail is not syncing properly with Gmail. My Gmail account has roughly 5800 total messages and 1900 unread messages (I need to clean it up quite a bit, I know ). Mail shows it as having 8500 total messages and 2200 unread messages. Mail is quite wrong. I don't know if I accidentally fetched some of the Gmail files twice, or what, but I would like for Mail to be correctly synced with Gmail.
    Any ideas on what to do? Is there a quick fix or am I going to have to reset Mail?
    I very much appreciate any help! Thanks for your time!
    -Kyle

    Hello,
    You may have the dreaded double download disease. I was just fighting the bug this morning, and may have a cure that I am hoping some other guinea pig will test.
    You may want to check and see if you see duplicate emails in Mail. If you want to know more about the issue you can search duplicate emails.
    Anyway the secret medicine if it is a duplicate issue may be below. (It seems to be working for my issue, but am trying to get some other confirmation)
    I came across an old hint (from 2001 at Mac OS X hints)
    It states:
    Avoid receiving duplicate emails in Mail.app
    Sun, Dec 23 2001 at 9:54AM PST • Contributed by: NikWest
    There is a hidden default for Mail, which I do not think has been mentioned here. You can avoid receiving duplicate Messages (e.g. from mailing lists) by opening a Terminal and typing:
    defaults write com.apple.mail UniqueMessagesBeforeRouting 1
    Before receiving the whole message, the message ID (a mail header) will be checked. If there's already a mail with this message ID, it will be discarded.
    To disable the feature, repeat the command with a '0' at the end instead of a '1'.
    This seems to work for now, any one else willing to try?
    Good luck

  • My itunes match will not sync properly

    Mac User same thing
    Hello there here is my problem. My itunes match will not sync properly. It shows a lot of songs over 100 with the icloud match status as "Waiting"
    Here is what i have done
    1. Reinstall the entire OS delete everything and start from scratch
    2. Turn on and off itunes match.
    3. Hold down the option key
    4. Move my music out of the music folder clear everything out of my itunes and bing back my music.
    5. Use backup copies of my music in case the music files had been corrupted.
    6. Checked numerious mac community forms that report simular issues.
    7. Tried another macbook pro that I have
    8. My wifes account which has about 8000 songs did no have the issue. My account seems to have the issue sobeservices2. I beleive this to be account specific. My account has 11481 songs and about 100 to 100 show with the status of "waiting"
    9. I get no error messages
    10. I've tried multiple ISP - COMCAST - FIOS - I even tried multiple computers
    11. Redid the entire os
    12. My account has problems "*****s2" but my wife account does not
    13. Replicated the issue on more then one computer it seems only has problems with my itunes account. Suck waiting to upload
    and its not always the same songs sometimes it's different songs that it gets suck waiting to upload.
    14. Removed the waiting songs and attempted again
    15. Started with fresh iTunes had the server match a blank itunes folder  to the point where it said "0 Songs Match" then re-added them
    16. Called Apple Care and spoke with a Senior Advisor who told me he would have to escalate a ticket and he to thought I had done all the tsing possible and that it was up to the engineers to figure out a solution.
    I have been working on this for about 4 weeks now. All my trouble shooting has pointed it to be an account specific issue.
    Any advise from the community

    Hi
    I have had a similar set of issues.  8000 songs, 800 in waiting.  All ripped from CD into Apple Lossless - mainly classical so most didn't match directly.
    First I ripped all these 8000 songs for my father first on his laptop from his CD collection.  Eventually got them all matched or uploaded to his Match account (except one) by the usual tricks people suggest (e.g. recoding as AIFF or MP3 etc, deleting, re-adding blah blah). Though of course I shouldn't really have to waste my time doing this.  One song absolutely refused to upload. Tried everything - including buying a pristine downloadable version off the publisher's website.  Still resolutely refuses to upload.
    Anyway - main problem is now with my PC. I copied all these 8000 tracks over. Re-installed everything etc.  800 remain in "waiting" (even though they uploaded Ok on a different account).  When I rip my own CDs even some common stuff (e.g. Bowie/Stones) gets uploaded instead or matched and often with one or two tracks stuck in 'waiting'.
    If I then look at my IPad (with Match enabled), it will show these waiting tracks as if they were already downloaded to it (which of course they are not). If I try and play one of them it just skips over it.

  • My iPad is not syncing properly with my calendar on my computer.  Everything is a day off on the IPad.  Any suggestions?

    My iPad calendar is not syncing properly with my computer.  Everything in the iPad Calendar is one day off....any suggestions?

    Susan,
    Also note that the calender can be set to preserve a time zone by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turning ON Time Zone Support - but then your flight times will be correct for the local time zone...found that one while on travel and the calender was showing a flight time that was an hour earlier than I thought it was.  I had not turned on Time Zone support and it moved the time I had entered at home to the time of the local zone.
    Convenient as long as you pay attention

  • New computer will not sync recent purhcases to ipod

    I haveadded a new computer to my home sharing network. I was able to transfer my existing music library and to make new itunes purhases, but the new purchases will not sync from the new computer to my ipod

    Maybe the drive letter on your exHD is getting changed. If it is F: one day and you plug in a different USB device, Windows can nicely change the exHD's letter to G: for you. That would make itunes not be able to find the music, since itunes is looking for it on F: Not G:
    Assign the drive letter permanently.
