Sync'd iPhone 5 two days ago, all fine. Plugged in y-day to charge and phone attempted to auto sync...iTunes now says unable to sync bc I need an extra 27GB of storage to copy iTunes Library. I have not made any changes to my settings. Any ideas?

I sync'd iPhone 5 two days ago w/o any issued or problems. Connected phone to iMac for a charge yesterday and iTunes stated an auto sync. iTunes popup box appeared stating phone could not be sync'd b/c I needed an additional 27GB of storage, apparently to load iTunes Library. I did not change or modify any settings. Has anyone experienced this or know how to solve this syncing issue.
Side note: iTunes does recognize that my phone is plugged in, charging. Thank you.

One additional finding this morning ... iTunes can't handle my iPad being connected. Immediately upon recognizing the iPad, iTunes comes up with the same message as happens with the iPod indicating "iTunes has stopped working," forcing an immediate shut down of the program. Opposite the case with my iPod, iTunes at least recognizes my iPad.
No idea. This is madening.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

HT1386 After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?

After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased? I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find. Anyone know how?

I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

CHANGE THEME'S, WORKED FOR ME

Why when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show inmy computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

Hi,
can any one tell me why when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show in my computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

Not simple enough. Please read the original concern.
The issue is not "getting music to the new machine" or "authorizing the new machine" or "transferring purchases from an idevice". The issue is that after doing all those things, even creating a backup using the new iTunes/Mac, syncing my device with the new library erases all the app data from the iPhone, as well as folder structure and page layout. Music is expendable in this situation as it's just a matter of moving the files around. (Which I did before I ever started this exercise.)
The problem is that everything from email accounts to folders are lost when I sync the device with a new computer. I tried this on my iPad first and spent a good deal of time re-arranging everything and getting all the data back. The pictures are just gone. Good thing I backed them up on the old PC.
It won't be as simple on my iPhone as I have a ton of stuff on it and can't afford to lose anything. Some of the data is gave saves and such, but other things are more important. And I don't want to lose those game saves either.

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?

If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

I have been using my newly purchased Iphone for Iphonagraphy (Iphone photography). I would like to sync my Iphone to my external hard drive so I can move photos in and out of my Iphone, to make use of the apps I have exclusively on my phone.

I want to sync my Iphone with the external hard drive so I can move photos from my phone to the hard drive AND BACK! I'm using a Windows OS

You have several options:
Connect the phone using a cable to your computer. Use the camera and scanner wizard to import the photos from the Camera Roll, then organize them and sync them back to the Photos app (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). the Camera Roll is intended for temporary storage only.
Save the images to your Dropbox account. It's free, http://www.dropbox.com. There's a Dropbox app for the iPhone, and also for Windows, Mac and Linux. Dropbox can also be accessed using a web browser. Dropbox (and similar services) provide cloud-based storage that can be accessed from anywhere.
Use Photo Stream
Email or text (MMS) the images to yourself
Create a Picasa or Shutterfly account, save the images to it, then download to your computer
I'm sure there are others.

Hi. My phone screen broke and I had it replaced from a phone shop. The guy said that while changing the screen and phone was blocked. It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer.

Is there anything I can do or can Apple do something if I give them the correct password?

As you had the iPhone opened by an unauthorised repairer ( Apple do not replace screens on iPhone 4)
Apple will not provide any service or support
Take it back to the "phoneShop" and tell them to fix it
You have no other alternatives

Why don't you just restore the to your pc from your most recent backup? You'll get the warning about erasing the media on the phone, but since you'll have all of your media and apps restored from backup, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

I bought iPhone 4 for my wife, didn't create a separate apple ID account for her at that time. How can I now create a new one for her, sync her phone to the same PC that I sync my iPhone with without loosing all of her data, contacts, etc. Please help!

HT1414 I can not sync my iPhone after restoring it - my computer only gives me the restore (again and again and again) option. I have no music and only a few aps now on my iPhone. Any tips before I go to the genius bar?

If you restored as new, without using a backup, and still only get an option to restore, there is a hardware problem or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded iOS, unauthorized unlock). Your only option is to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

Just tried to import CD in my iTunes music library, but get this error code "error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes"....any thoughts? Have not tried to change anything- only import CD ??

Just tried to import a new CD into my iTunes music library, but get this error code "error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes"....any thoughts? Have not tried to change anything- only import CD ??

Do you have read& write permissions to your iTunes library?
See this thread: Re: "Error has occurred... You do not have the privilege to make changes."
