Question on synch between iTunes & iPhone

Had many entire cd's on iTunes & synched with my iPhone. This past weekend, I had to completely rebuild my computer, all software was installed as new. As a result iTunes has no music, and iPhone has them all. As I read the info box on iTunes, If I synch, It will erase all my iPhone tunes. Is there a way to move all the tunes from iPhone to iTunes. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can access and transfer the music with PhoneView if you can get access to a Mac.

    how do i stop contact synching between two iPhones?

    Stop syncing them to the same source. If you're sharing an iCloud account with someone, don't do that.

  • Why doesn't iChat synch between my iPhone and iPad and iMac ?

    I am using iChat on my iMac but the messages won't synch between my iPhone and iPad even though I am signed into my iCloud account on all three devices

    HI,
    It seems that in Messages Beta you could create a "Start Date" if all old messages were removed from the iOS devices.
    It seems no different in Messages.  (I used this Method during the Beta period)
    Others have reported that turning the Phone Off and On again also creates a "Start Point"
    (The two methods are mutually exclusive if you do the above first).

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
    iTunes 9.2.1 download...

  • Synch between iPad, iPhone and iPod nano

    When I buy music on ITunes from iPad, how can I transfer the music to my iPhone and iPod nano without using a PC?

    With an iPhone then if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then it should appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. For the Nano you can't, you will need to copy the music from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and then sync it to the Nano (and similarly for the phone if you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded) - you can't connect either of them to your iPad for direct trasnfer.

  • Number of Songs Discrepancy between iTunes & iPhone

    There are 1,437 songs in my ITunes Entire Music Library.  Due to problems I was having with my iPhone, Apple had me restore my iPhone 5S to "factory" settings and then back-up my iPhone to one of my backups before my iPhone began having problems.  My backups have had 1,437 songs for quite a long time.  Now the number of songs on my iPhone 5S has 1,348 songs. Why?  What can I do to get all my songs back on my iPhone? I tried "Transfer" purchases thinking it did not get my purchased songs, but it didn't change the number of songs.  I just purchased a new iPad Air 2 today and set it up.  It has 1,437 songs.

    An easy route is to setup a Smart Playlist for each category - note 'matched' and 'uploaded' will both count towards your 25k limit, 'purchased' do not count.

  • HT1386 Question about synch to another iphone

    I went to sych with another iphone to update my itunes.  Instead I got all the contacts and apps, pics, etc. of the other person.  How do I reverse this.

    How did you do this and to update your iTunes? There is no updating of iTunes on an iPhone. iTunes is not on an iPhone.
    Did you install an iOS update with iTunes on a computer besides your own?

  • TS4147 Question on syncing between my iphone, Outlook and the Cloud

    I can enter/revise contacts on Outlook on my PC (faster than doing it on cloud) and they go to my iphone under 'all from my PC' which is great, but how do I get those same contacts to copy to the cloud and, if I enter contacts on my iphone they go only to the Cloud, not to Outlook!
    Thank you!

    Make sure that both of these settings are correct.
    Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>On.
    Settings>Photos And Camera>My Photo Stream>On.
    Any photos that you take with the phone - After you turn on Photo Stream on both Devices - should sync to the iPad. The same would apply to photos taken with the iPad.
    Settings>iCloud>Notes>On. You must setup an iCloud email account for this to work. You do not have to use the email account, but the notes will not sync unless you set up the account - or unless you have an IMAP email account that wil sync notes over the air.
    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Notes>On.

  • Email synch between MAC -Iphone-Ipad

    Hello - I want to know if it's possible for among the two devices and the MAC to have a "master" on yahoo email so that when an email is deleted off one, it then deletes off the other two. I have a yahoo email account (through Rogers - a Cdn wireless provider) on all three and before I bought an Iphone4, I had a blackberry and when I deleted an email off Ipad, it would then delete on the 'berry which I wanted. Now, I am hoping to coordinate this so that if I delete an email on a "master", the other 2 will automatically delete as it is off the server ?!
    Any advice or guidance pls ??
    David

    If your email provider supports it, set up your email as either IMAP or Exchange.  Both will do exactly what you describe keeping the account synced across all your devices.

  • Synching 2 3Gs iPhones to one iTunes account on one computer

    I have a few questions regarding synching two 3Gs iPhones with one iTunes account on one computer.
    I had synched both phones (mine and my wifes) to our desktop computer but saw that apps were being placed on both of our phones and contacts were being added to both and duplicated.
    1. If I try to synch my wifes iPhone to a her laptop with a new itunes account and it asks about erasing the data, will it get rid of the photos and contacts? I have looked this issue up and no one really seems to know.
    2. If I try to synch both iPhones to the desktop with the original itunes how do I avoid the issues of transposing apps, contacts being added to both? Several answers out on the Net say to make two seperate accounts. Does that mean two seperate "iTunes" accounts? Or two seperate profiles on the desktop computer.
    The main reason I need to do this is because my wifes iPhone is about two or three firmware updates behind. I would like to update her firmware and back up all of her apps and contacts. I am backing up her photos to Shutterfly just in case, because if something happened to those I might not be around to see iPhone 5. hahaha j/k
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    1. If you manually backup your wife's phone before you sync for the first time to the laptop, you can save all data and settings of the phone and restore from that backup again after the initial sync.
    Here's how to backup manually:
    Set up the same iTunes account on the laptop, disable autosync in iTunes/Settings/Devices.
    Connect the phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup" iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to the new library.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    2. If you're syncing both phones on one computer, either create a second user account on your computer, log in and do the same manual backup process as described above, or, take the time to set up each phone individually, including the settings for calendars and contacts, which apps to sync, etc.
    iTunes will remember the settings for each phone and you'll only have to do this once.
    You can only use apps on different devices if you're using the same account you did at the time you bought them.

  • IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

    When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad.  Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad.  What am I missing?  I have Lion.

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.

  • Unable to synch purchased iTunes videos to iPhone after transfer from PC

    I just purchased a new MacBook and have transferred my iTunes library from my original Windows PC to the Macbook. None of the videos will synch to my iPhone. As a test, I purchased another small movie from iTunes and it still will not synch the new movie either. All of this worked on my Windows PC and had all the movies on the iPhone before I made the switch.
    All my music and music videos have transferred and function with no problems. It is only the purchased movies. The Video tab in iTunes does not show any of the movies.
    I can play the movies from within iTunes and I have authorized my Macbook on iTunes.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I answered it myself. Feel like such a n00b. No matter how many times I double-checked every option before I posted this question, it finally made itself know and it was right in front of me.
    For those that got blindsided by it like I did, the option is located on the bottom section of the Video tab. My laptop screen only displayed the top portion and I did not notice the scroll bar on the right. Once I saw it and scrolled down, there it was.
    Time to buy a desktop with a large monitor!
