Synching iphone to itunes library

I purchased music from itunes on my iphone I synched it and the music purchased on the phone did not transfer to itunes library. everything i've read said it will transfer automatically once synched. Any ideas or help?

Did you try "transfer purchases" in iTunes?

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

  • New computer-keep getting iphone synched with another itunes library

    So here's the situation.
    I got a new computer the other day and put Itunes on it. I hooked my iphone up to it and authorized my new computer. Seemed like everything was fine, that was until I went into devices and clicked on music. I then went to synch music and then hit apply and get the whole "the device is synched with another itunes/library, do you want to erase the iphone and synch with this itunes library.
    I still have my old computer (Which is in pieces on the floor) and realized today that I didn't deauthorize it. Am I in trouble here?

    As far as your iPhone is concerned, it is a new iTunes Library. Let it go thru it's steps (including making a backup and restoring from the backup) and all should be fine.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers, so you are fine if you're under this limit. When you do reach it, you can deauthorise all computers (even without having access to them), then authorize the one you are using. So you are not in trouble here, either.

  • TS1702 My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

    My IPod Nano is synched to my ITunes library and shows up under Devices, but when I click on the Device name, all of the music is "grayed out" and I can't click on anything.

    In order for this content to not appear grayed out, you need to enable the Manually manage music option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.  Keep in minding that manually managing your iPod's contents is different from having content automatically sync to your device from iTunes.  See here for more information.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Where is the lock icon on the screen?

  • Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it?  I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

    why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it?  I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

    Hi Lisa,
    I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
    If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
    Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
    Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
    Changing computers in the past.
    A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
    A sign of a failing iPod.
    Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
    Hope this helps!

  • I had to change computers. Now when i plug in my ipod i get a message That it is synched with another iTunes library. It only offers the option to erase and synch with the new one. How do i find and get back to the original library

    I had to change computers. Now when I plug in my iPod I get the message.  My iPod is synched with another itunes library. How do I find and synch with my original.

    You need to Copy the iTunes from the Other computer or its Backup, to your New computer.

  • IPad synched with another itunes library

    Recently my pc's hard drive died - I've installed a new hard drive but having problems with itunes and the ipad I have.
    When I try to connect the two a message comes up stating that my ipad is synched with another itunes library and the options i have are to erase & sync replacing the ipads content with the library's content or transfer itunes store purchases over - my problem is that there are music files on the ipad that i will ose if i follow this way. Is there any way I can copy these files?
    Any help/pointers is much appreicated.

    Noboers-
    One possibility is that you have more than one account on your computer, and previously synced with a different user account.  You might log into each account and try again.  If that is the reason, one should work.
    We can guess at other scenarios that might cause the problem, but the solution may be to go ahead and choose Restore instead of syncing the iPad.  You would lose any changes since the last time you synced.

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

  • How can I restore music from iPhone to iTunes Library?

    iTunes deleted music (the proverbial !) in my iTunes library, however the music (I want it in the library) still plays on my iPhone. I have repeatedly trying synching the iPhone (the music is still playing ok on the 3GS) but whenever I click on the song in iTunes library, I get the ! and "cannot locate song". How do I get the music on my iPhone back onto the iTunes Library? I tried synching iPhone but still ! in iTunes. This just happened the other day when I opened iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Len

    If you have back up your music, you can restore from the backup.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
    If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup
    Solution from Apple.com: ht1766
    If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used Wondershare iOS Data Recovery and it worked well, there are also other options available.

  • Remote app on iphone with Itunes library / Erratic connection problems.

    I have been using Remote app on my Iphone to manage Itunes for months with 100% pleasure and 0 trouble.
    For a few days, it has some erratic behaviour like having difficulties to connect to my Itunes library.
    In such case if I touch the Change Library button on Iphone remote screen, it connects quite instantly...
    I have a simple wifi network generated by my adsl box and a single computer.
    The remote setting option "stay connected" on Iphone is On.
    Generally when I get connected if I quit remote on Iphone and restart it within a minut it will find the library in a jiffy most of times ... but sometimes not.
    I disabled firewall : no change.
    I scratched all remotes in Itunes and paired the Iphone again : no change.
    Does anyone with some idea ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jean.

    Almost the same issue here. And this only started yesterday.
    Initially iTunes would not pair at all, but I went into add/remove programs (Win 7 PC) and ran a repair on Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, and iTunes. I did not remove or reinstall any of these applications.
    After this my iPhone remote app would be found by iTunes, the passcode accepted, plus the library showed up. I thought I'd cracked it...
    But after a few minutes - usually when the screensaver kicks in on my PC - my iPhone loses connection to my library and WILL NOT reconnect unless I restart iTunes.
    I have to say that over the years the remote App is without doubt THE most buggy, inconsistent and erratic piece of software I have ever used. If there was a decent alternative I'd have ditched it a long time ago.
    Looking forward to a solution from one of the experts here (not expecting Apple themselves to even respond!).

  • How do i unsync my iphone from itunes library and sync it to a different one without wiping my phone

    I bought an iphone 5c and synced it to a windows 7 thinkpad laptop. I backed it up on this device and transferred music off there to my iphone. I recently had an acer aspire e15 laptop and downloaded itunes so i could now do everything i did on my old laptop on to this one, but it isn't letting me unless i sync my phone and wipe its memory. Although i can restore my phone it doesn't restore the music. So is there a way to unsync from one itunes library to another without wiping my data, or is there a way to transfer the music off my phone to my new itunes library so when i restore my phone its easy to restore the music i had on it previously.

    The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
    There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.
