New iTunes v. 10, won't sync to my iPhone 3GS, deleted my entire library

I just upgraded to the latest iTunes and it deleted all of mine and my roomate's music that we've aquired over a few years. My iPhone also refuses to sync to anything new I add to my library. Also, all the check boxes on the songs from my iPod are greyed out so I can't check or uncheck anything. The only option it's giving me to sync my iPhone to the new items in my library is to add those files, but delete all of my other almost 600 songs. This is kind of a problem for me as I took a long time to organize all those. HELP!!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. Since you already sync with your home computer, you can't sync with your work computer unless you first want to erase your phone of all of the content currently on your phone. If you want to get this music on your phone, you're gonna have to copy it to a thumb drive & then transfer it to your home computer. From there you can then sync it to your phone. There is no way to download it to your home computer directly, without paying for it again.

I have recently had to install itunes and it won't sync with my iphone 4s even though I have signed in to my apple id, how can I fix this?

My laptop needed wiping and rebuilding. I built it up and re downloaded itunes. However it will not sync with my iphone. I have re logged into my apple id on the itunes but still no sync is happening. I don't want to erase all of the songs on my iphone as I have a fair few albums. Is there anyway I can solve the sync issue without wiping all of my existing apps and music?

It is not devices, it is computers only. You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
The computer you are using is not activated with your iTunes account with iTunes? If not, is a computer available that is activated with your iTunes account? You can deactivate all computers from one computer that is activated following by activating the computer you are using now.

ITunes 8.1 won't sync calendars to iPhone for me

I just installed iTunes 8.1(50) and am trying to synch my iPhone. It appears to synch everything except for calendars. After synching is completed, iTunes displays an alert saying: "iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone 'Darrin's iPhone' because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone." I have iPhone OS 2.2.1 installed. My console logs show this problem when the calendar sync fails:

Calendars in Outlook 2010 won't sync with my iPhone 3gs

Since I installed iOS 4.3 in my iPhone 3GS I cannot get iTunes 10.4 to sync my Calendars in Outlook 2010 with my iPhone. I have not changed any settings and it has worked without problems for the last year until I installed iOS 4.3
Can anyone help me sort this out.

Here's what I've discovered: Outlook has two "versions," one for iCloud and one that is an Outlook data file ("My calendar"). You can check a box in Outlook to enable either of them (go to the Home tab and expand the navigation pane). The iPad does not sync with the Outlook data file. Anything entered there has to be manually copied to the iCloud version of Outlook in order to sync with iPad. So, to sync with iPad you have to uncheck "My calendar" in Outlook and then check "iCloud" and use that version of Outlook. But when I use the iCloud version, Outlook will not accept appointments sent to me by clients. It also screws up my communication with clients in other ways. So using the iCloud version of Outlook does not work for me.
I've discovered a third-party software that seems to solve this issue: Code Two Sync for iPad. You can Google it for reviews, the download link, etc. I downloaded and installed it and it immediately copied (synced?) all the appointments in the Outlook data file version of Outlook ("My calendar") to the iCloud version and synced them with my iPad. There were a bunch of duplicates, but I think there's some way to fix that. However...it also crashed Outlook on my computer (I have an older computer that is having issues). So I needed to uninstall it. I repeat, this is because my computer has been having other issues, I don't think it is the software's fault. I may try it again when I have more time to troubleshoot. Anyway, you might try this software and see if it works for you.

My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes, My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes

i try to unplug and re plug and my iphoto says theres no pics to upload and calls it "apple iphone" when my iphone has a name and itunes says"the iphone'___my name____'s iphone' could not sync because the sync session failed to start."
it just started doing this today.. i dont want to restore my phone because i will lose my pictures..

Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this. Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You will not lose any data doing this. Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!
