No music, videos, or photos

After installiing IOS 5, iTunes 5, and Lion 7.2, I synced my iPhone 4. Music, videos, and photos show no content on the phone. What did I do wrong?

Hey there coyotedale,
It sounds like you would like to see where your space is going on the phone.

IPod Touch, Music, Video, and Photo icons on iPhone

Is there a way to show Music, Video, and Photo as their own icons instead of having one iPod icon?

I guess not? Might i have to jailbreak?

How do I find out which computer I sync music, videos and photos on?

I am about to update my iPhone to iOS 4.2 but it tells me that to preserve my media, I should apply this update on "the computer where you sync music, videos and photos". How do I find out what that computer is?

You should be regularly backing up then you can just move your library to a new computer and sync there.
If you don't have one then you will have to transfer purchases (grab a 3rd party program for non-purchased content) and then sync to the new computer

Transfer Music + Videos + Podcasts + Photos from iPOd to iTunes

This is the same case of old PC crashing. I noticed there are a lot of ways of transferring music files to a new iTunes. Is there a way to do the same with video, podcasts and photo files as well?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then have a look at the third party utilities listed above they are generally quite straightforward and simple to use. Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

Sending music,videos and photos via Bluetooth

What can I do to receive and send music,photos and videos via Bluetooth?

For the most part, you can't do that. There are some apps that will transfer photos from one iPhone to another iPhone. Check the App Store for those.

Losing all music/video and photos

Since the last upgrade every few days when I put my Iphone into the docking cradle to recharge and get some podcasts it isn't recognized by ITunes. I take it out and put it back in. When it recognizes finally all the videos, photos and music are gone, leaving almost 2 gbs if "other" stuff. I did a restore last week and now the same issue ? Any ideas ?

Best way to manage media (photos/music/videos) across user accounts in Lion?

Yesterday I clean installed Lion. I copied only that what I need from my TimeMachine backup. The apps were reinstalled as well. Now, I've set up iPhoto to link to my library in the Users>shared folder so that its available across all user accounts shared with my family members. Same is the case with iTunes library. But with integration with iCloud and @me.com or @mac.com accounts, I'm not sure how each one of us can have out own accounts configured in these libraries while they are shared. Keeping this in mind, what is the best way to share music, videos and photos across user accounts and yet have the apps... iTunes, iPhoto, etc, know our individual settings in out respective user accounts?
For iTunes should I just create a referenced library? Will that let me sync my photos and videos to my iPhone 4? If so, how?
For iPhoto I guess i''ll have to create separate libraries for each user account and then have one common for our shared photos. But thats just plain complicated for users who aren't tech savvy in my family.
Please advice before I create a mess with my media again!

Thanks for the idea, but that strategy introduces problems of its own. Now I have two iPods (a 5G and a touch) that sync with one library and an iPhone that syncs with another. This makes my life workable on the road, but at home, it means I have to change iTunes libraries when I sync different devices. It also means that, when I download new content, if I want to take it with me on my MBP, I have to synchronize it between two libraries. That sounds like an ugly situation.

How to sync music/videos from iphone to computer - lost ext hard drive

I recently lost my external hard drive where I was storing all my music, videos and photos. Long story, but the backup was not occurring. I have precious video and music on my iphone (some original, not purchased) that I don't have the data for, but the iTunes libraries are still intact. But the libraries are pointing to a drive that doesn't exist. I have purchased a new hard drive that has the same drive letter as the original one. Will iTunes create a new folder and sync my music and videos to the same place, or do I need to recreate exactly the same path? Also, if something like this will work, will it sync, bringing the files from the iPhone to the new external hard drive? Please, can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply, KiltedTim! After reading on some additional resource sites and evaluating suggestions and reviews, I did try a 3rd party software which worked beautifully! The software allows the user to store the data into different folders by content type, including subfolders, too. I completely understand Apple's theology to make the sync a one way deal for copyrighted content, but when the unthinkable happens, it sure is nice to at least have an option to preserve anything personal and legal that you have on your iPhone that you lost on your hard drive, mainly music, videos, voice memos, text messages and notes. I am completely respectul of the protection of copyrighted music...I am just very glad that the people that created the software "had my back" this time for my precious family memories and the time saved trying to reimport all my music CD's!

New iPad will not sync music, podcasts, or photos

So I sync'd my new iPad yesterday and cannot figure out why my music, videos, movies, photos, and podcasts do not sync. All of my apps carried over, but that's it. I might have 2 seperate email accounts associated with my iPhone and my iPad, but I don't know how to get them on the same account. Any help?

Hi and welcome........
I might have 2 seperate email accounts associated with my iPhone and my iPad, but I don't know how to get them on the same account.
Merging two different e-mail accounts isn't possible but you can use multiple mail accounts on your iPad. Tap Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account. Do that for each mail account you want.

Make sure iTunes recognizes your iPad.

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. Is this possible with Keynote ?

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.
Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

Hi there,
Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services. Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

Because that is the design of the iphone.
Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process.

Transferring Music/Videos/Photos on Zen Vision: M prob

[color="#ff00ff"><font face="Verdana" color="#009999">I seriously need help soon. This has been happening to me ever since Sunday. Whenever i try to music/videos/photos on my mp3 player a message pops up saying Acess Denied. And whenever i try to do it in windows media player and creative media source it says unknown error. I called Creative and a man told me to reformat it. How do i do that? Did anyone have a similar problem. PLEASE HELP!

For reformatting (if your sure some guy told you) go to my computer and find your player. It should be one of the disk dri'ves. Right click and press format and you can either do full format or quick format. I dunno if that will del your firmware tho. gl

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. If that media is not in the iTunes library then it is gone after the update/restore.
