New iTunes Transfer issues

Hi,
In the beginning my iPhone 4 affinity was set to a laptop which is now defunct.  I also had a computer which I used from time to time (and at some point possibly synced with) which I am now trying to set as the default machine for my iPhone.  I have authorised my PC, I have synced it, I have made back-ups. I do not get "this iPhone is synced with another library" or any such message, I can't find any option to erase music from my phone...
I don't care if I lose any music currently on my iPhone, I just want to be able to add music/audiobooks again. Help
D
PS I am reluctant to restore to factory settings for a number of reasons:
a) It should be a fairly simple request I am making, I do after all own the stupid thing
b) I have no stomach for manually (because if they can't do option a who can say the back-up will in fact work) restoring my contacts etc.
c) The phone was previsouly locked to another network but was unlocked by same I do not want to have to go through that debacle again.

Plug your iPhone, open iTunes, click on your iPhone name on the sidebar (View>Show Sidebar if required) and go to Music tab. Check the playlists you want to sync and click apply and sync on the down right corner.

  • Itunes transfer issues

    I recently bought a new laptop and i need to transfer media from my iphone, however i only have the option to wipe my iphone and sync music from itunes on my new laptop which has nothing on it, how can i sync music, apps and photo's onto my new itunes which is situated on my new laptop

    That is the way iTunes works.
    Transfer all the content by copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Rhetorical question:  Why do people think content can be transferred from one computer to another via iOS device?  This makes no logical sense.

  • Macbook/itunes/transfer issues

    I just bought my new macbook pro, first mac computer ever! I'm trying to pull my itunes folder off my hp desktop, onto an external and then into my itunes on my mac book.  Here's the problem.  When I open the itunes music folder, it will show the artist/album but if i attempt to look at the songs through the folder it will say folder empty.  So when I tranfer the files to my external and onto my mac its a 75 gb folder of nothingness.  My itunes on my hp works fine and I can listen to the music so its there.  It just wont show it to me.  Even if I open itunes and highlight ALL of my music on itunes and drag it to my external, it will do it but then its an invisible file of 75gb that says 'file empty'.  I've scoured online for anything about this, nothing.  Has anyone ran into this?  Please help..

    First, in ITUNES, go to STORE at top, and "authorize this computer",  second, make sure your HD youre trying to read from is formatted so your MAC can read and write to it, either exfat for BOTH your Mac and HP, or for your MAC, as formatted in Mac OSX extended journaled format.    on the MP3 right click and click "open in tunes either from your desktop or from your external HD.  Place them IN your new MAC anywhere, desktop folder etc, make sure that isnt the issue and that they open fine that way.  There should be no problems after these checks.

  • New itunes playback issues

    With new version of i-tunes playback of downloaded tv shows now "jerky". I have all updates and have tried resizing - still an issue. DVD's play great on full screen mode and previous shows played great on full screen before the "upgrade". Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Ditto here! I have the same problems since updating to iTunes 7.0.1. My iTunes played all my videos and TV downloads flawlessly with version 7. Can I uninstall ths new upgrade and reinstall version 7? How can I do this?

    Ever since I updated iTunes there have been a couple albums that show up in my library on my computer but not on my iPhone, what do I do?

    Confirm that you have them selected in iTunes for syncing with the iPhone.

  • New PC, new itunes, and iphone. Having issues with pairing/authorization/library transfer

    Hello all,
    I recently got a new PC. Before unplugging the old one, I deauthorized it from itunes. I immediately authorized the new computer. I also have cloud syncing on (for all the good it's doing me)
    (HATE the new itunes btw - I find the user interface SUPER confusing and none of the itunes articles use the new version for reference).
    Anyway, I must have messed up the initial sync or something. For some reason it's recognizes all of my apps, and happily adding anything I download from the phone back onto the computer - but everything else is a mess. I had to recreate my podcast subscriptions (no biggie) but it won't let me sync my music library back and forth (nor my audio books). It only seems to want to let me erase my music library on the phone with the mostly empty one on the computer. It's not recognizing the playlists from my phone at all on the PC, and today I bought some new songs on the PC and it won't let me add them to those playlists.
    I even tried "transferring" back....but it's still not letting me access playlists and music libary
    Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated. I'm not particularly interested in losing my entire music library that's on my phone. If I had to lose anything I guess I'd prefer to lose the songs I bought today on the PC.

    Copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location on the new one.  It is trying to erase the phone because the phone is synced to the library on the old computer and does not recognize the one on the new computer.  You can transfer purchases from a phone to a computer but otherwise file transfer is one direction, computer to phone.

  • How to transfer iphones info with new itunes without losing everything

    my mac recently crashed due to hard drive failure. It has been replaced but has lost eveything on it. Now when i plug my iphone in the 'new' itunes doesnt recognize it and if i sync it will erase eveything. so i would love to know how i can transfer my music, contacts and apps to the new itunes? Thanks

    On your new Mac, start iTunes, check for updates and ensure you have the latest version.
    Sign-in to the iTunes Store (creating a new Apple Id if needed).
    On your old Mac locate your Song files and make a secure backup.
    Restore the secure backup to a folder on your new Mac.
    On your new Mac, import the Song files into your library - once complete, make a secure backup of your Song files.
    On your new Mac, start iTunes Match and allow the process to run to completion - following the notes in the User Tips area of this forum to overcome any issues that may arise.
    On your iPhone 5, start the iTunes Match service and allow the process to complete whilst in good local WiFi and/or physically connected.

  • TS2972 new pc from old pc, itunes transfer, playlists didn't synch

    does doing all of this bring over your old playlists? I already moved my old computer data to new computer. my issue is that my playlists didn't transfer. any thoughts?

    How was the media transferred?
    The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

    I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
    I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
    I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
    Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
    I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
    Thanks

    Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer.  If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
    Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
    If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.
