Previous photo's deleted when syncing a new folder.

Trying to sync photos with Itunes (windows 7)into separate albums, but when syncing a group or folder it deletes the previous album or photos. I can't see anything in Itunes to change to avoid this. Apple is not making "Photo" PC friendly.
Any ideas???

I have a 16GB 3G iPad. I sync it to an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.6.3.
I have a desktop folder that I use for syncing photos with the iPad. Recently I modified some of the photos in the desktop folder and when I try to sync, I get a dialog saying: “The iPad is synced with another photo library or folder. Do you want to sync with your photo library and replace all existing photos on this iPad with those from your photo library?”
When I open the iPad Photos pane in iTunes, the “Sync Photos from:...” check box shows only iPhoto and when I check the box, a dialog pops up saying, “Are you sure you want to sync photos? All existing photos and albums on iPad will be replaced with photos and albums from the current photo library.” I don’t WANT to sync to an iPhoto library, I want to sync to the photo folder on my iMac’s desktop. I am not given the opportunity to pull down the menu beside the “Sync Photos from:...” menu.
Help, please?

Game level deleted when syncing with new library?

I created a new library in itunes. I logged on with my apple ID. Game apps i paid for where downloaded to itunes. When i now sync my ipad with the new library, will the levels in the games still be on my ipad, or will they be deleted?

Thanks for the tip. However, the document does not contain the answer to my question. That document says that the music library is completely deleted and then new library is uploaded from the computer. I guess that the same will happen to movies and TV-shows. The questions is, if this will happen to apps also in a way that all the settings and saves will be lost. I would not want to try this without knowing what will happen, because losing all my saves would be annoying, even though there is nothing really important.

Copy them the correct way.
Close iTunes on both computers.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder for the old computer to the new computer.
Open iTunes on the new computer. Everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was on the old computer.
FYI, marking your own additional comments as "This solved my question" is a good way to get the post ignored.

Problems w/ photos being deleted when downloading

Hello, can anyone tell me why my photos that have already been downloaded on my ipod are deleted when I download new photos. This happens every time I go to download new photos to the ipod. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I download my photos manually. I can't seem to find an anwser to this anywhere. Please help. Thanks

I have heard of this happening, but I never saw a resolution. Sorry.
The only thing I may could suggest is moving the contents of your photo folder into a folder temporarily. Leave that photo folder that your iPod syncs with empty. Have your iPod sync and clear all of the photos off. Disconnect. Then move those photos back into that folder. Reconnect and have it sync. If you have already tried that, then I'm sorry I couldn't help anymore.

I created a new folder on My Picture on my PC, but when I went into my device to sync the new folder i created i couldnt find it. How could I make it a choice of the selected folder so I can sync that onto my device?

I created a new folder on "My Pictures" on my PC to sync some new photos, but when I went into my device to sync the new folder I created I couldnt find the new folder under "selected folders" in the sync photo section. How could I make it a choice to find my new folder I created so i could find it under "selected folder" so I could be able to sync?

Hi there!
Could you clarify for me: are you still using Photoshop Elements on your new Mac or are you now using the Revel Mac Desktop app?
Thank you!

IPhone Contacts Deleted when Syncing

Help!! My iPhone contacts were deleted when syncing. And only kept a few from my Address Book. Is there a way I can restore them? Please Help! Thanks.

Me too. Although I don't see what MobileMe has to do with it, I don't use it.

Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
I have documented this problem on my blog here:
Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
This has my hardware details, etc...
I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

Hi,
I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
Good luck!

I'm trying to organize my movies with folders. When I click "new folder", it either doesn't add any folder or adds a new folder as a "subfolder" of an existing folder. Help!

Thank you for the suggestion - I tried it but still didn't work. When I click "New Folder" it gives me the pop-up to name the new folder, but doesn't put a new folder anywhere in my Project Library.

When syncing a new photo album, photos from old albums appear in the new albums.

When I try to sync a new set of albums into my iPad 2 using iTunes, photos from previous albums randomly appear in the new album!
This occurs even when I delete the photo cache from the folder in question and have iTunes remake the picture cache.
I am running the latest iOS version 5.0.1, iTunes 10.5.3.3 and Windows 7.
(I've had this problem since previous versions of iTunes, but never bothered to post here for help previously)

Are you syncing photos from a different computer?
Did you uncheck any of the photo albums that you had synced before?
Are all of the photos still on your computer?
Iphone simply mirrors the selected photos on your computer. Whatever you have selected under the photos tab, will be on your iphone when you sync. Whatever is not selected will not be there.
You should be importing pics taken with iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera.
Iphone will sync photos form only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current photos.

How can I keep a playlist on phone when syncing with new computer?

When syncing my IPhone I am prompted with an ominous message that says "Are you sure you want to remove the existing music ... from this phone and sync with this ITunes library? Music .... will be removed and items will be synced from this ITunes library" The answer is no because I have a playlist I would like to keep on the phone, but add one which resides on the computer I am attempting to sync with. That is not an choice presented, the choices are Cancel or Remove and Sync. Apple should either give more options or at least a better explanation. I have synced this phone and computer combination before but have since created a new playlist in the computer (a Mac Mini).
So how can I keep a playlist on the phone and add one from the computer too? Is it possible to view the phone as a drive and move items around in that manner? I use ITunes on both Windows and Mac platforms but this issue has always been problem for me. I also have IPhone 3 (used as an IPod), IPhone 4S and Iphone 5.

Unless you can get the iPod backup file (and restore the iPod from that file on your new computer) from the "dead" computer you will lose all the app data you can export via email.
- Yu can trabsfer iTnes purchases from the iPod by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer non-itunes purchased music to the new computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion.
Best iPod to PC
- After you move the stuff to the new computer, either restore the iPod from the backup, or if no backup, restore to factory defaults,new iPod and sync.

How to retain chat/iMessage history when syncing with new computer?

For years, I have synced each new iPhone that I’ve purchased with an older MacPro.
Recently, I bought a new iMac to replace the MacPro.
I chose not to use Migration Assistant and have not transferred any of the data from the older MacPro to the newer iMac, primarily because I wanted to completely ignore all the AAC and mp3/mp4 (lossy) music files from the old computer and replace that music on the new iMac with Apple Lossless Encoded files ripped from my CD collection.
Meanwhile, I bought the new iPhone 6. I have never synced this new phone with the new iMac. Instead, I set it up using a backup of my iPhone 5S that was on the older MacPro (or possibly in iCoud—can’t remember). I did this because I want to preserve older texts/iMessages on my iPhone. It’s my impression that that data ‘lives’ in the backups of our phones, so syncing it with a brand new computer would erase it, right?
The problem is, I don't want to use the music files/playlists on the older MacPro. I want to load my iPhone 6 with the newer music files and playlists found in the iTunes folder on my new iMac while still retaining the text/iMessage history from previous backups. Is this possible? If so, how do I make this happen?
I do not use iTunes Match and want nothing to do with it, so that is not an acceptable solution for me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

When syncing with a new computer, technically, all information on your iPhone 6 will be erased. If you really want to keep the chat history/imessage, call history or even contacts, I suggest you backup your iPhone 6 to iCloud before the sync. After sync your iPhone 6 with your new computer, you can try Dr.Fone for iOS to extract chat history/iMessages, even contacts and notes from the iCloud backup file and save them to your iPhone 6 again.

How do I get hi-res photos from iPhoto to sync with new iPad

I hooked my new iPad up, and synced my iPhoto library to it, but once I went to view the photos on the iPad, it looks like they have all been turned into super low-resolution grainy versions.
I was wondering if anyone had any luck getting full-size photos to sync - I have lots of space and a retina display so I want full versions of my photos.
FWIW, I also sync an iphone with the same Mac; and I know for the iPhone that iTunes will reduce photo resolution before syncing to save space. I am guessing maybe my sync with the new iPad just re-used those lo-res versions - so I am hoping there must be some way to force iTunes to NOT use those versions of the photos.

You want to sync the music to the iPad using iTunes on your computer.

Slow loading when creating a new folder or deleting a folder or file

Hello! Before we begin, a little information. This problem only started occurring AFTER I updated to Mavericks. I have been through every operating system since Snow Leopard and NEVER had this problem until Mavericks. It has been palguing me since I updated in October and I need some answers. Seeing as how I do not feel like paying $59 to ask apple for help in this matter I'm coming to the community. This is an odd problem where finder doesn't seem to want to load certain actions properly. In my case, creating a new folder, deleting a folder or file, and using the "always open with" function.
In terms of creating a new folder, anywhere in finder, the folder will not appear immedlately, insetad it takes a staggering 5-10 seconds to appear where I created it. For deleting a folder or file, the same thing happens. It takes a huge amount of time to move the folder or file to the trash bin, UNLESS I open a different folder or file in the same directory after deleting said folder or file, in which case it moves right away. And the "always open with" checkbox just doesn't work at all.
About my platform: Intel iMac (Late 2009) 3.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 220 out of 499.75gb hard drive space. OS X version 10.9.2
Thanks in advance for any help in these matters.
You guys helped me solve the unchangeable background problem when apple couldn't, so I'm reaching out to you again for that awesome support I know you guys have in you

Adobe contacted me and had me reset my prefereneces for flash using their steps. I have done that and a complete uninstall/re-install and searched for corrupted fonts and still I am having the same issue and adobe support appears to have just left me hanging.
Is there anyone here who has experienced this same issue that can offer any assistance to solve this issue. As it stands right now I have a product I cannot even use and that is troublesome to say the least.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

What is lost when syncing to new computer?

I know questions like this are asked all the time but I'm not sure exactly what to search for so I figured I'd just create a new post.
When syncing to a new computer, what exactly is removed from the iPhone. I don't really care if I lose all of my music because I have it all on my external hard drive or on my computer. The only thing I'm really worried about is losing all of my contacts.
And let's speak hypothetically and say my phone is jailbroken and I have a bunch of apps not from the app store. Will I lose those as well?
Any advice when doing this?

On a compatible program ( outlook, address book, ical, etc.) The manual will give you more info.

Will iTunes-bought music be deleted when syncing with a computer?

Let's say I buy a few songs on my iPad. Will they be deleted when I sync with iTunes on my computer?

They should not be, they should be synced to the computer.
Before syncing , click File>Transfer Purchases if you want to be sure.
