Not erasing history sync after disabled on desktop

Initially I had set up Firefox Sync on my desktop (Apple iMac running FF 3.6.6) to sync everything. Everything pulled up just fine on my iPhone 4 (os 4.0.1), but I hadn't realized history was being synced as well. I don't intend to use this feature and unchecked 'Sync history' in FF desktop. I re-synced and the history remained on the phone.
I've tried signing out, uninstalling, reinstalling, and it keeps coming up with 2000 synced history items.

That's a good point to remember. Your sync data can be made up from multiple Firefox installations. So if you want to change what's synced you have to do that on all devices.

Itunes keeps asking to erase and sync after already erased and synced

I've erased and synced my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 both 3 times, iTunes is asking to do this everytime I want to add something new. When I'm done I'd have everything checked in the upper left hand corner in itunes that I always want to sync i.e. music, tv shows, or books, but when I reconnect a couple days later some will be unchecked then I have to erase and sync. Anybody know why this is happening.

MacBook Pro: Mid 2012

I think you can mark this thread as "answered".
I had the same problem after picking up a replacement 4Gb iPhone from the Apple store last night. When I returned home and plugged in the iPhone it downloaded the 2.0.2 update and applied it prior to the first or two painfully slow restores on my G4. When the iPhone came back to life after the Restore I had the same situation you described, apps and data restored but no music and only the "Set up new iphone" or restore from backup option when the iPhone appeared in iTunes. Thinking I had done something wrong I told it to Restore the from backup again. Two hours later, same results.
So I was pleased to see your message on the discussion board and possible solution. I couldn't wait to get home from work to try it. Well, selecting "Set up as new" fixed it. My iPhone appeared as normal in iTunes and I'm syncing my music as I type.
Thanks!

Just spent over an hour debugging my wife's audible problems as well. iPhone updates, iTunes updates, reboot, pull hair out etc...
What I've determined is the "Sync Manager" window - when you select what to sync to you iPod/iPhone device that you've selected in the left hand window - does not appear to work for Audio Books.
We we're choosing Sync Audiobooks -> Selected audiobooks and NOTHING we selected was getting synced. More importantly, and this took a long time to see, none of the selected items were reflected in the little checkboxes in her iTunes library view.
Once I MANUALLY selected the books in the iTunes library view, things started syncing.
So it appears the audio books you select to sync when setting up your phone, do not get registered properly as "things to sync".
Definitely looks like an iTunes bug to me. Until they fix it, try manually checking the books you want to sync in your library view.
What a wonderful way to spend Saturday night.

Lost notes on iPhone 5 after disabling iCloud

I turned off iCloud and afterwards all my notes that were made after the last backup to iCloud were gone. I assume because the default setting for notes was iCloud and not the device. can I somehow recover these notes? I use notes a lot and it is a real problem that they are gone now because the last backup to iCloud was in February. please help

Songs not syncing after disabling iTunes Match

I subscribed to iTunes Match a week ago and uploaded my library.
Then I enabled iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S and my iPad2.
Yesterday I decided to disable iTunes Match on my iOS devices and synced them with my MacBook again.
Now the problem:
About half of the songs cannot be synced anymore to the iOS devices. There is no system, which songs are not synced. Some are my own MP3s, some are buyed M4As, some are matched M4As. But there is more: The same song can be synced to the iPhone, but not to the iPad and vice versa. The behavious seems to be completely random.
Software versions:
Mac OS X 10.7.3
iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
iOS 5.1
Yesterday I upgraded both devices to iOS 5.1.1, but the problem persists.

Now I deleted all settings and data from my iPad, restored from backup and tried to sync all music again. Now most of the titles are synced. But there are still about 10 title, that do not sync.
If I browse for them on the iPad (in iTunes) the information shows the following:
Size: Stream
Data rate: 256 kbit/s
The song in my library is an MP3 with 192 kBit/s. So this information is completely wrong.
For me it seems, like the music library on the iOS devices got screwed up. The question is, how can I reset my music library without losing all the other data on the devices?

Z22 will not sync after re-installing Desktop

My Palm Desktop (V 6.2.2) ceased working - the program reported errors and refused to launch. Suspecting a corrupted file, I uninstalled it completely and reinstalled. Now the desktop will launch but will not Hotsync with the Z22 handheld, which now contains my only good copy of the data. Any suggestions as to what I could try??

I'm getting "The update could not be installed" even after disabling everything & restarting - why?

It also says another instance of Firefox is running, but there isn't.
I'm using Windows 7, Firefox 5.0.
I disabled Logitech devices, SunJava & everything else, no luck. Nothing else running except Windows stuff.
This is the first time it has happened - is it a problem with Firefox?

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

Firefox home for the iPhone sync's initially but, it does not continue to sync after that. Is there something wrong with firefox sync or an issue with my app?

Once firefox on the computer is closed for the first time after sync is setup it will not longer sync to the iPhone. I have tried deleteing and reading account several times. I refresh the app on iPhone. Nothing will work. One the initial sync is complete. Thats it.

hello, mozilla has [https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2012/08/31/retiring-firefox-home/ stopped development & further support for firefox home] on ios devices halve a year ago. as an alternative you might want to try the following app & see if it is fixing the issue: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184

IPod will not add music/sync after iOS 7.1.1

Since downloading the iOS 7.1.1 update I am unable to add music to my iPod Touch.
I manage everything manually; and, when I drag music from my iTunes Library to my iPod it shows that it is ready to sync but the process never happens.
I have the newest version of iTunes and have tried rebooting everything with no luck.
Any ideas to fix this other than restoring the iPod? Would the next iOS update fix this?

Hey Ross, OK no joy with reboot...? Have you tried going into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings.
Or Connect with your computer using the cable, then First, make backups from your iPod to your computer of all your stuff. Then Restore from Backup. If still no joy, after the making your backups, Restore to New, a full restore.
If your working with a windows machine, have you tried un-installing iTunes then re-installing iTunes, then try syncing with your computer? (If windows, that's all I know to try.) Good luck. Cheers.

My ipod and iphone 4s will not erase or sync with my new computer.

My phone was loaded from this computer when I got it replaced because the last one was defective. They will not load, unload, or anything. This is frustrating because before the most recent rounds of updates and "fixes," I never had problems and knew where everything was.
It is not a problem with my library being different, because I just moved the library over from my old computer to the new when I got it using my external hard drive and literally just took iTunes and the music, books, etc over at one time.
Edit: Checking or unchecking the manual management of the library, full sync, and/or partial sync has no effect either. When I work on trying to make them sync, the computer shows- under the "on this ipod" section- that there is nothing there, but the ipod/phone disagrees and still has everything.

You can only sync with one computer. To switch syncing computers:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all synced media like apps and music are already on the second computer then just backup the iPod to the second computer and restore from that backup
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

My iPad 2 WILL NOT complete / finish sync after update of 7.1

I have tried syncing my iPad 2 several times and even left it overnght to complete the sync, but it gets hung up at "Waiting for changes to be applied" which is the last phase of the sync. I have restarted my Mac Book and my iPad 2 TWICE and tried resyncing at least twice. Restoring my iPad isn't something I want to do considering all of the apps I have and reorganization, etc. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Nobody is dying to restore a device, but I've done it several times and I never had to reorganize my apps or folder structure. I'm not saying that the folder structure will not blow up on you if you restore, but it hasn't happened to me....yet anyway.
You restarted the iPad but did you reset the iPad? I would also close all apps on the iPad, then reset the device, restart the Mac again and then try to sync again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

My iPod can be seen but won't erase and sync with my new pc

So I've got a new pc, and have put all my music onto it but my iPod will not erase and sync, it just appears in iTunes, when I click sync it just sits there doing nothing, any help would be appreciated.

Hey QuiteMike,
If your iPod seems to be unresponsive when communicating with iTunes, it may be best to run through the following troubleshooting assistant:
Apple - Support - iPod - iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If all else fails, you can restore your iPod to factory settings (last step of the troubleshooting assistant):

After moving my itunes library from my old WinXP computer to my new Win7 computer, itunes gives a warning that my content on my phone must be removed and re-synced. I want to merge changes/updates on my phone with my itunes library as normal, not erase it

After moving my itunes library from my old WinXP computer to my new Win7 computer, itunes gives a warning that my content on my phone must be removed and re-synced. I want to merge changes/updates on my phone with my itunes library as normal, not erase it & replace it. My updates/changes will be lost.
How do I merge content on my iPhone & content in iTunes together?

Hopefully you still have the original library and can redo the migration...
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
