    Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily  be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo  Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well.  Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
    Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically".  Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • How do I get my 6th generation Ipod to shuffle AND REPEAT all songs in a playlist?

    How do I get my 6th generation Ipod to shuffle AND REPEAT all songs in a playlist (continual playing)?

    You could get a cable such as this one.
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=1526&sku=35502
    It has the dock connector on one end fro connection to the iPod and then two connectors on the other end, one for connecting to the firewire charger you use and the other to connect to the usb port on your computer to sync the iPod. You can sync and charge at the same time.
    Alternatively, you could explore the possibility of installing a high speed card to your computer such as this one.

    I'm not saying that is the one you need (I know nothing at all about your particular computer), I'm just using this as an example of what I mean.

    Does she normally sync to the MAC?  IF she does, she can restore her phone from a backup, if she has one.
    If she doesn't normally sync to the MAC then she can sync back to her PC and then restore to her backup.
    If those options don't work then she is sol

  • I just got a new Macbook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and lost all my songs on my iPod.  How do I get them back?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, plugged my iPod into it and noticed all my songs didn't transfer, including the 6 new ones I just purchased.  I then brought it back to my PC to sync, and lost all my songs on my iPod.  I'm now receiving all kinds of weird messages that the name of my iPod is a duplicate and cannot be synced (no matter what I put in it).  During the process of loading it on my Mac., a bunch of odd emails were popping up to sync.  I just kept deleting and adding mine.  Is it corrupted? What have I done??? I am a personal trainer and live by my iPod.  Please help.

    Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
    Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
    If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
    In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
    Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
    Connect the iPod to the Mac
    Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
    Set it to Manually Manage Music
    Sync your selected songs in your library.
    Whern sync complete, Eject it
    Connect it to your Windows PC.
    Select the song in the library
    Sync it.
    It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
    Good luck!

  • Use iPod with Mac AND PC?

    Hello all!
    I use an iMac G5 at work and a PC (running Widows XP) at home. I plug my iPod in on both computers and everything seems to work just fine. Not too long ago, when I plugged my iPod in at work (Mac) I get the 'there's an update for your iPod' message. I might be paranoid, but I'm worried that if I start installing Mac updates, my iPod won't work on my PC. Am I just being crazy? I would say that my PC is 'home' for my iPod since I load most of my music, video, and photos from that computer. I'd be really bummed if anything went haywire & had a hard time using it with my PC.
    So - if that was a crazy notion I had......is there anything else I need to consider using my iPod with a Mac and a PC??
    Thanks to you all in advance!!

    Wow - I'm SO glad i didn't update through my Mac! I'll stick to the PC format until I can get a shiny new Mac at my house ; )
    Thanks so much for your quick replies!

  • HT4623 Recently updated my iphone 5 with IOS7 and lost all my photos - Help!?

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help? I updated my Iphone 5 with this IOS7 update a few days ago and seem to have lost all my photos.  I tried a 'Restore' and then 'Back up from restore' in itunes but the phone kept going round in circles.  It kept asking me [on the iphone] to select either 'Set up as new phone' or 'Restore from icloud' or 'Restore from itunes back up.'  I chose 'Restore from backup' every time and just as I thought it had finished, it asked me to do the whole process over again.  This happened several times.  In the end I chose to 'Set up as new iphone' and then I was able to do a restore but the photo's never appeared.  I did get all my Apps, Music and Contacts back on the phone. 
    I spoke with Apple today and they seem to think I didn't do a backup before updating to IOS7.  Normally my itunes automatically does a sync and a back up when I connect the phone and I will get a warning message to prompt me if not. I've searched for the photo's in my Pictures folder on my lap top but they are not there. I don't use icloud [don't quite understand it but I'm getting there!] and the Apple advisor checked my Apple account and couldn't find any of the photos there.  I've even tried to download a program to scan my phone for lost items but there's still no photos showing up.
    Have I lost these photos for good or is there any way of getting them back?
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jane     

    Just to add to my enquiry above...
    I have downloaded a couple of these programmes which say they can help scan for missing photos.  One of the programs scanned my itunes and found photos from a back up this August.  I could see quite a few photos on there [the ones that I'm missing] but these programs only let you down load 2 files [photos] unless you register with them i.e I will have to pay. 
    So why isnt this back up for August showing up in the list 'restore from back up'  when I'm connected to my itunes?? 
    Its so frustrating knowing that the majority of the photos I'm missing are actually still there somewhere.  Why do i have to pay another provider to get them back??

  • Ipod with mac and pc

    I would like to know how to format my ipod in fat 32 and that it works in both mac and pc.
    the format of my ipod is mac os plus with register.

    You need to connect the iPod to a Windows PC and run "Restore" from the updater. It will format your iPod but you'll be able to use it with Windows and OSX.

  • I disconnected my ipod before ejecting, and lost all my music. HELP!

    I disconnected my ipod while it said do not disconnect, and now all my music and movies are gone, but my pictures are still there. I have reset the ipod several times, and tried to connect to itunes. I am getting an error box from itunes saying "ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" Is there anything I can do? a lot of my music is from other people, and I will not be able to get it back if it's really gone. PLEASE HELP ME!

    Do you sync with iTunes? If you do, all of your purchased content should be in your iTunes library, so sync with iTunes again in order to recover your books and music.
    If you don't sync with iTunes and you only use iCloud, go to the purchased tabs in iTunes and the iBooks app and download all of your music and books again. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the books and music with originally.

  • I recently had to reinstall the factory settings on my laptop and lost all songs in itunes but they'e on my phone. how do i get them back on my phone its so frustrating.

    Previously I could drag and drop my songs from desktop to folder, I had to get iTunes 10.4 could that be the cause of my frustrating attempts to get my songs back to iTunes library?
    i am also unable to see previously dowmloaded application in itunes. If i select manage songs manually would that require syncing of the two and therefore losing the songs on my phone?

    I am assuming you never backed up your computer.
    Sounds like you still may have problems with your PC.

  • IPod with Mac and windows

    I currently have a 1st generation iPod Touch with the iTunes library on my macbook. I am using a windows xp system at the office which also had iTunes installed. Will I be able to sync the iPod with both computers or will this create an issue with the libraries?
    Thanks ahead of time!

    You can't sync can't sync iPod with multiple computers or libraries. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod

  • Moved Library and Lost All Songs

    I have a Windows XP laptop and an external HD. The goal is to have my whole CD library imported to the external HD using ITunes. However, I import the CD's at work to my laptop HD because I can't carry the external around. So, when I copy and then move the location from laptop to external, then delete the original copy from my laptop, it doesn't get mapped, and then I would have to go through song by song to edit info and find change where it's newly located. Can I do it differently so that this doesn't happen (maybe MOVE in Windows Explorer instead of COPY)? If there is a way to prevent this in the future, is there anything I can do about the stuff that's already misplaced? Thanks. B

    Hi Benjamin -
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You may have better luck in the iTunes for Windows area, but in the Mac version, in the file menu, there is an option for "Add to Library" If you chose the music folder on your external hard drive, it would find all of the files located there and add them to your music library. You could continue to do this each time you copy music to that folder without having duplicate entries in the library.
    Also, if you try to play a song and it can't be found, I believe iTunes will prompt you to find the location. If this happens, it might find the rest of the files that are associated with that file. (Try the suggestion above first, though) if the file has already been imported, but can't be found, and you add a file that is identical to the missing file, it will recognize it as that song and change the link.
    Good luck!

  • Merged my Contacts with iCloud and lost all new contacts

    Hi all,
    Mac OSX Lion.  I made a bunch of new groups on my (desktop computer) contacts book, as I went through the contacts book, I reviewed and updated contact info for nearly a thousand contacts.  I spent literally hours parsing out my client contacts into three client contact groups that I made.
    I realized that I had never turned on iCloud syncing in the iCloud preferences.  I turned on the Contacts Syncing option in the iCloud pref and was asked if I want to Merge my local contacts with iCloud.  I said Yes.  After the Merge was finished, the three new groups that I made had vanished, and all of the contacts that I had meticulously updated had gone back to their previous state.
    Needless to say, this is really upsetting.  Anyone else seen this problem?  Any magic button I can press to bring back all of my hard work?
    For what it is worth, after this fiasco, I decided to see if iCloud was working properly, created a few test contacts on my iPad, desktop computer, and notebook... all three worked perfectly by instantly sharing the info to each other. 
    The main problem appears to have been the "Merge" when I turned iCloud syncing on after having created a lot of new contact info on my desktop computer.

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.
