    Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

    Hi Mike,
    I have Iphones since they cam out buy IO7 on my iphone 4 is slow and frustrating. I sync itunes with sync window. I tried cable and wireless. I have enough space. If I have a playlist say with 200 songs it will say on itunes sync window syncing 200 songs however I only get 150 songs on my iphone. I have restored iphone twice, I have tried playlists and smart play lists. It seems not to sync the same songs all the time. Prior to IO7 in sinced all my songs. I see on the chats that this is a big problem. Do you have any solutions. the songs that dont sync are the same format as those that do.

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

    I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

    iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

  • HT5610 how to sync all my music from itunes

    I there a way to sync all my music from iTunes on my different computers including my work computer? I have all the computers authorized but when I buy a new somg and download it, it does not show up on my work computer when I start iTunes.

    Hello mchughes,
    Thank you for your question! It sounds like you are wanting your iTunes Store purchases to automatically appear on all your authorized devices. Automatic Downloads is a feature that can be turned on or off in the preferences of iTunes on a computer, and in the Settings of an iOS device. This article will help you get that turned on:
    iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
    Also if you have tv shows or movies you buy and want to see on all the devices but not necessarily download them you can configure iTunes to show your iTunes purchases for streaming or downloading when you want with this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes Store preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12468
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Display items purchased from the iTunes Store that haven’t been downloaded to your computer. These items have a Download button next to them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

    Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

    What happens when you try to restore the device to factory settings?  Any error messages?  If so, what is the exact wording of the error message(s)?

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • I have just down loaded i cloud and I can no longer sync my own music from itunes I have tried to close my i cloud account and it wont close down?

    I have just down loade icloud and can no longer sync my old music in itunes I have tried to delete icloud but it will not delete?

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

  • Sync only new music from itunes library

    Does anyone know how to sync only NEW music from the itunes library to the iphone? I am following the basic help instructions and if I select certain songs, albums, playlists, etc. then it syncs ONLY those that I check. i.e. none of the music that was already on the iphone is there anymore. It's almost as if every time I sync the iphone I have to check ALL music that I want to be sync'd. And that's including music that was already on the iphone. How do I sync ONLY NEW songs from my itunes library, without losing what's on it beforehand?

    i want to know if i can simply 8 songs to my iphone without changing the status of the existing songs on the phone.
    Yes, which I've already answered, but I guess I haven't provided the answer in a clear enough manner.
    How are you adding songs to your iPhone now?
    Are you syncing all songs and playlists or selected playlists?
    Do you have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
    These are the settings I'm using:
    Sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences.
    Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have sync selected playlists selected.
    I created a playlist with iTunes named iPhone. I have my iPhone playlist selected to be synced or transferred to my iPhone - along with a few other playlists.
    I add the songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone playlist that I want available on my iPhone.
    If I want to add 10 additional songs to my iPhone that are not currently on my iPhone, I add the 10 songs to the iPhone playlist. When syncing, the 10 new songs added to the iPhone playlist are transferred to my iPhone only with no songs removed from my iPhone. If I want to remove 10 songs from my iPhone, I remove the 10 songs from the iPhone playlist and then sync. The 10 songs removed from the iPhone playlist are the removed from my iPhone with no other changes - unless I add new songs to the playlist and remove others at the same time before syncing. The songs added to the playlist are transferred to my iPhone and the songs removed from the playlist are removed from my iPhone only when syncing. No other songs already on my iPhone are touched/removed with this process - unless I make a change to my iPhone playlist.
