New Iphone 4 syncs everything BUT my music and audio books when I sync?

Hi
I bought a new iphone 4 to replace my 3gs. None of my music or audiobooks that show on itunes on my computer will sync with the new phone. I had them all on my old iphone. My new iphone is recognized when I sync. Ideas?

As with others I have lost all my contacts since the recent update. I have tried to backup but it didn't work (much as I expected as the backup was done after the update). So I really don't know what to try next, if there is anythign to try next? I have checked iTunes and I have never had the sync Contacts box ticked and I have tried finding something on the computer itself, but this is where my technical skills fail me as I really don't know where to look or what to look for.
Have I lost all contacts and therefore need to input manually, or is there something left to try?
Many thanks.

  • Mixing music and audio books

    Is it possible to mix music and audio books on the same iPod and yet shuffle the music but not include the audio books when playing? If so how do I do it?

    You can right-click on an audiobook, choose Get Info,
    and checkmark "Skip when shuffling" on the Options
    tab. This is not necessary on true audiobook files
    (.aa, .m4b), as those are skipped automatically, but
    it's useful for mp3 files.

  • I have a new pc and 'new' iphone, how do I access bought apps/audio books?

    Hi
    My iphone and my pc both broke around the same time (unrelated incidents!). My iphone was sent away for repair and returned working but set to factory default  no apps etc, I've now got a new pc too. How do I access the apps / audiobooks that I had downloaded before? Does this situation mean I've lost them as they weren't backed up anywhere? (Maybe I've learnt the hard way )
    Any help appreciated!

    Click here and follow the instructions, or network the computers and move the songs over.

  • HT1977 when i restored my iphone, i lost all my music and pictures. When i gave them an email address i gave them a different one associated with my original purchase. I think i need to restore again with the original address. will that work?

    I needed to restore my iphone 5. I lost my pictures and music from itunes. I gave them a different email from my original email. If i restore again under my original email, can I retrieve my music and photos?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • Can you transfer music and audio books between computers via home sharing?

    I just reformatted my iMac and would like to restore some music and an audio book from my MacBook Pro. Somehow, I got the audio book onto my MacBook Pro, which was originally downloaded to my iMac, but now I can't seem to transfer it back.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    I figured it out. Home sharing was not activated on the iMac, even though I could see both computers on each computer. I tried to transfer all my music from the iMac to my MacBook Pro before I wiped everything off the iMac, but couldn't figure it out. I with I knew that before I reformatted it. I do, however, however, have everything backed up on disks. iTunes is one of the most confusing programs I've ever used...

  • Help! My new ipad will sync everything, but my music!

    I just got a new ipad and I connected it to my PC and opened iTunes, it synced all my apps, my pictures, but it won't sync my music. I have tried clicking and unclicking. Adding one album or song at a time, but it won't work. My computer shows the music in gray with a dotted circle by it, but it won't begin to upload it to my ipad, and when I click on my music on my ipad, it shows an empty folder. Please help me, I'm so frustrated.

  • My iPad will sync everything but purchased movies and tv shows.

    The message I get is that my computer is not authorised but when I go into store - authorize etc it tells me that my computer is already authorised.
    Am I missing something? This has never been a problem before.

    Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
    Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
    Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

  • I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos, etc. by syncing with iTunes.  Is there any way to restore what I had?

    I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos when I synced with iTunes.  Maybe I clicked the wrong button, but I just wanted to download the photos from my phone to my computer.  Is there any way to restore my previous information?

    Did you sync to itunes from a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
    syncing to itunes doesn't just wipe out all your data.
    If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that backup.

    open itunes program, go to movies section in itunes store after logging in, on the right side there is an option for PURCHASED with a "new" in blue. select that and if they were downloaded with your apple ID, they will be there to redownload.

    I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes.  It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered.  My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again.  Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account.  I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again.  i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again.  Can someone please help me!!  Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore..   And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it  I am so good with technology and this has me stumped  please help

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
