My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year. Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one. How can I correct this?

Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted. I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad. How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

Did you try to connect in recovery mode? iOS: Unable to update or restore

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

I can't unlock my ipod nano 4th generation. The screen is still working, I can sync to my computer and I can see when it is charging but it stays in the mode of being locked even after I unlock it at the top.

Hi Saint09,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd recommend the steps in our iPod troubleshooting assistant:

Currently shipping docs are for Oracle Waveset 8.1.1
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/sjs.ident.mgr81~1514.7#hic
You'll probably want to start with the Deployment Guide & Reference to get a feel for the different components.
Specifically, you're looking for something better than Ch. 5 : XPRESS Lanugage in the Deployment Guide.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0378/bvbps?a=view
You should review the forms and look for the dependencies of other forms, libraries, rules et al.
Forms may be used by workflow, the other major XPRESS execution area in Waveset.
In certain deployments, reusable form components are stitched together with elegance; in others, it's a train wreck of one-use forms that duplicate vast amounts of unreadable code in dozens and hundreds of files.
Typically, a build procedure is generated to allow you to click forms into a larger project deployment structure. Without knowing what's lying around, it's tough to examine a single file and get an idea for how the object affect the installation...
The netbeans plugin for Waveset provides easy access to help on many functions and the entire javadoc set for com.waveset, which may have shortcuts you can learn from... especially around building a base project and customizing simple objects.
If the Identity System Essentials tutorials are still around, they were a good place for template examples...

On of the reasons I stayed with android is because I use my google calendar all the time - I love that it syncs with my computer and phone and my daughter's as well so we all know what we are doing. Do you know if the iphone does that?

My phone was stolen. I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

I updated to ios 7 2 days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appts and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 two days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appointments and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7. Rebooting the phone and the computer failed to remedy the calendar sync problem.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

I have changed to new computer and can`t sync ipad music to new library how do i unsync from old one don`t want to loose photo`s and music

when i sync my ipad to my new computer, apple tells me it is synced to a different computer and can only have one, the old computer has died, what can i do i don`t want to loose all my music, as some of it is not recoverable, hope you can help?

Your old computer has died, but surely, since it contained nonrecoverable music, you've made a backup.
Simply move the contents of the iTunes folder in your computer's backup to the iTunes folder on your new computer. You should then be good to go.

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion. use your backup copy to put everything back.

Sync phone to computer and the process a significant amount of my contact list. All "A"s, all but 2 B's, all but 4 c's then left everything else as is. What's that all about and can I retrieve what was lost?
