Pruchased music on iPhone, Desktop won't give it back

Hello, I just purchased the iPhone a couple weeks ago and I synced all the music that I had put on iTunes from physical store bought CDs fine. Last night I purchased a CD on iTunes from my iPhone, then went to charge it today on my USB dock and my desktop iTunes took the songs off my iPhone, said that they couldn't be on the iPhone because of the computer its registered too, and is off my iPhone with no obvious way to put it back on.
I've removed all songs off my iPhone and re-synced and did not work.
Pretty upsetting if iTunes purchases can't be shared on hardware, but store bought CDs can, wouldn't be much of a point to iTunes then :\
Edit: Also have plenty of room on the phone. Only ~260 songs, 6.25 GB of free space.

Purchases from the WiFi store will only synch back to a computer with the same iTunes account. Furthermore, you can only synch music with ONE iTunes library. For example, if you had loaded store-bought CDs on your laptop and then synched with your iPhone, then went and synched with your desktop, all music on the iPhone would be wiped out. You CANNOT use the iPhone as a vehicle to move songs from computer to computer. You must do this another way.

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

Sync'd iPhone 3GS on laptop. iTunes captured tones and won't give them back!!!

Several months ago, I synced my phone and I had 4 ringtones I had purchased from the iTunes store. When the sync was finished my tones were on my iTunes under tones, on my laptop, but NOT on my phone. I believe this may have been the same sync in which I updated and got iOS 5. I thought I saw something about a possible bug. I checked out a few online forums and help discussions. I thought I understood how to get them back onto the phone. So today I tried agian and NO, Not happening. I tried everything I thought I knew to do and still, my ringtones show up on the itunes library page. I go to tones, they are there. all their little boxes are checked. I right cllick them and I have choices. I tried moving them to purchased to see if I could download them again. No luck. The only noticable difference in today's sync is that the one lonely Christmas ringtone that I purchased in December didn't go bye bye and get trapped in iTunes purgatory. Can anyone help me? I REALLY do NOT want to re-purchase tones I have already paid for(BTW, I tried that too. But with tones it doesn't catch you like music does and tell you that you have already purchsed that tone! *sigh*)
Thanks

Try altering the tag for the ringtone: right-click on a ringtone in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the Info tab and make a slight change to the Artist, tap OK and try syncing again. If it transfers to your phone do the same for the others.

My phone was taken from me off the Edge and they won't give it back!

Back in September of 2013 I bought in to the Edge program when I was told I could cancel the line AND the phone at any time. I was told that I could return the phone AT ANY TIME (not just within the 14days) and everything would be cancelled. On March 10th I went into a corporate store and cancelled the line and returned the phone. The sales rep even analyzed the phone to make sure it was in good condition so he could cancel the edge contract. By the way the phone was an HTC one. So he told me I would see a charge on my phone bill for 24.99 every month but that I would also see a credit for 24.99 for several months until the contract ran out. I said ok. He took my phone. They seemed confused - he was asking the store manager for assistance. So 2 days later I call customer service to verify that everything had been done correctly. Customer Service informs me that the corporate store did not cancel the contract and that I had to go back to have them cancel it. My son goes in and gets them to do that. Great. So I get my bill and I'm still being charged for the phone. OK. I call customer service and they clarify that the phone is mine and I have to pay it out. No problem. I understand the contract requirements. Oh well right? NOOOOO! I go back to the corporate store to retrieve my HTC one phone and they tell me they don't have it anymore. Furthermore there is nothing they can do about it and I will continue to see the charge on my bill until I finish paying for the phone. I call corporate and speak to Antonio - a supervisor- and he informs me that I can go to the store and dispute it with the manager who just informed me he would not give me my phone back and that I would still have to pay for the device. REALLY? MOM: Go ask your dad DAD: Go ask you mom REALLY? They are blaming each other and no one is resolving THE PROBLEM. I don't care who is at fault...give me my phone back so I can see/use what I am paying for. I have 5 phones on my plan and have been with this company since Western Wireless, Cellular One, Alltel, and Verizon. No one had failed me til now. They keep referring to the 'NOTES' that everyone has been putting in the system. Some of it is true. Some of it is not. But they only go by what their people are noting. What about me? What about MY truth? I cannot believe what is happening. Just because you put people in those positions doesn't mean they are honest and capable. So now what?

I had the same thing happen to me recently. I went to Best Buy and did the Early Edge option to get an LG G3. Best Buy tells me I have to send my iPhone 5S to Verizon within 14 days to not get hit with a fee. I send in my iPhone after two days.
Fast forward a week and I decided I didn't want to have the extra monthly cost added to my bill. I call Verizon before I return anything, and they said "Oh when you return it you will go back to your normal 2 year contract and once we get the phone back you can go to a Verizon store and pick up a refurbished iPhone 5S". I return the phone to Best Buy and was fortunate enough to have an older work phone lying around to use while I go and pick up a replacement device.
NO SUCH LUCK. Verizon said that in the Edge agreement once I send the phone away they don't have to give you anything back even if you cancel it. How this is not considered robbery is beyond me. Also, how any lawyer or judge would agree that an agreement like that is legal is also beyond me. So Verizon pretty much took $400 from me.
The customer service rep actually said I could either buy a phone off eBay or re-join the Edge program. I respectfully told them I wasn't going to give Verizon any more of my money considering they just took $400 from me. It's sad that you get told one thing by Support, and then they screw you the next minute. Definitely canceling my service when I can and not recommending Verizon to anyone since they won't do the right thing.

My iPhone 4s won't let me back it up to ICloud.

I Am trying to back up my IPhone 4s to ICloud but every time I try it says I do not have enough storage space, I have deleted most of my apps that are a lot of data but still no joy. All I want to do is make sure my photos and music are safe. Can anyone help me ?

Hey LuWatkins,
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992
I can't back up because there's not enough storage available.
If your iCloud storage reaches its maximum capacity, you can take any of the following actions:
Purchase more storage.
Create a smaller backup. Tips for creating a smaller backup:
Select which apps to back up. Include only the apps that contain important data.
Reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup by deleting unwanted photos and videos before backing up. Optionally save the photos and videos to your computer before deleting them.
Turn off backup for Camera Roll, especially if you already back up your Camera Roll to your computer.(Your iCloud Photo Stream is not a backup of your Camera Roll.)
Delete old messages from your device, especially messages with attachments. To delete a message, swipe over it, then tap Delete.
Delete items that you no longer need from iCloud, optionally saving them to your computer before deleting them. For example, you can:
Delete old backups, such as backups for devices you no longer have.
Delete app data or documents.
Delete old email messages, especially messages with attachments.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

How can i contact useless iTunes to get back previous purchases that they won 't give me back because somebody accessed my account and downloaded some product without my permission. I have sent severeal emails rung apple but nobody will return my emails.

how can i contact itunes to get back my previous products i have purchased. I have emailed them several times but they won 't return my emails.

iTunes support is online only. E-mail them again. Realize they may not necessarily respond immediately.
Of course if you had your purchases backed up on a hard drive you wouldn't need to contact them at all and they could be back on your computer in a matter of minutes.

Iphone 3g won't sync calendar back to outlook 2003 using owa

Using exchange, (outlook web access company server), I am able to get mail and contacts working great. Calendar entries/ appointments from my outlook (pc) show up fine on the iphone as soon as i enter them on my pc.
however, when i create a calendar entry on my iphone, it does not show up on my outlook calendar(pc).
Thoughts?

Hi man, I got the same problem with my iPhone, but it has been solved..
First, You need the Outlook 2003 or 2007 only, if you have a earlier version of this it isn't work.
Second, You sould need to create a new PST file whit the Outlook Version 2003 or 2007, the file format must be on Unicode Format, no Outlook (97-2000) format, with this file format the import of calendar doesn't gonna be work.
Third, You now have a PST whit Outlook 2003 or 2007 Version, you need to manually put your events on the calendar, Why? Cause if you just move it on the new calendar it gonna create and old instance of the event not a new instance, That's why iTunes doesn´t sync the calendar.
I done all these and actually I can sync the calendar with my iphone.

My Mac ate my Disk and won't give it back

My iMac accepted my iWork CD but won't recognize it in the drive nor will it eject it.
I've restart and shut down while holding the eject button. What shall I try next? Any suggestions?
Steve

It sounds like the disk is physically "in" but the drive isn't detecting it...
Is the disk still captive of the drive? I think I've read postings on this forum where people have done various methods to rescue the disk out. A quick search might be helpful. (I'm afraid of offering these suggestions though.)
Good luck!

QT stole all my file associations and won't give them back

Once I installed the latest iTunes, Quicktime decided to steal all my file associations. Now anytime I click on an mp3 on a website, I get that annoying QuickTime plugin that takes up the entire page when I used to get a Windows Media Player plugin that either opened as a new instance, or in the left media column.
I went into the MIME and File Types settings for Quicktime and removed everything, I also went into my Windows File Types and made sure mp3s were set to play with Windows Media Player. None of this helped.
How can I get my file associations back?
Thanks.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

TS3992 I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full.

I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full. How can I start using the icloud storage?

If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

HT1386 my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

my music is showing on my iphone, but won't download ???

Are you talking about two different devices? If the music is on the phone and youcan access it from the Music app, then you can listen to it. If the music is not on the phone but on the iPod and you want it on the phone, then you would have to sync the phone to the same library the iPod is synced to.
