Syncing iphone: Itunes says settings have changed, asks if i want to apply these changes, but no changes have been made?
Itunes 11.3, but this has happened for quite a while, several versions at least. Iphone 5, Ipad 2, this happens with both devices. I sync locally to my macbook pro (late 2011 version, running 10.9.4), using a wired connection.
I will have the 2 devices hooked up via the factory supplied cords. Doesn't actually matter if it's both or just one device. If I have, for instance, the iphone selected via the sidebar, and am displaying the Summary tab, normally you have a sync button to the lower right. Quite often, this will randomly change to two buttons, - Apply, Don't apply, as if I have made settings changes or something, although I haven't. No changes have been made. If I select a different device in the sidebar of itunes, a pop up will open asking me if I want to apply the changes? I say no, all is good. BUT - it's annoying!
Is there any way to make this stop?
No-one? Am I the only one? I doubt it...

ITunes says there is almost a GB of photos on my iPod touch, but I only have 6 pictures
Hello Apple community:
I have an 8GB iPod touch, 4th Gen. I am trying to make some space for movies, iOS 6 upgrades, etc. and I noticed on iTunes' "iPod touch summary page", there is almost a gig of pictures, even though I only have abou 6 pictures, and half aren't even hi-res! Is there a way to get iTunes to recognize that there are only 6 pictures?
ThanksI had a similar situation with movies - 6G of phantom files. Uncheck this box and do a sync. Check it and sync again.

i've literally tried everything, I would restart it but I have valuble pictures and i can't do a backup because the same problem will happen.
HI Shelby,
It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home. The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now. The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks. I've done a reset with no results. Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?
First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion. I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network. Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router. So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system. I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network. I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine. Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result. It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem. The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank. My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router? I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot. Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now. Have a great day.

I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios7 and syncd it, however after i restored my backup I couldnt sync because itunes claims my pc is no longer authorised for purchased items on my phone. I have repeatedly authorised the pc, and still receive the same error
Hello m2205
Check out the article below to troubleshoot your authorization issue within iTunes, you may need to remove the SC Info folder.

i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?
how do i get them on my new mac now?
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. -

My iphone asked if I wanted to update and I hit yes. It said to plug into ITunes so I did. My only option is to "restore". It didn't ask if I want to backup first. I don't have service on phone and I don't want to restore. How can I go back to "not" restoring?
You have to restore it

When trying to use FaceTime I can't because it says it is turned off in settings, it then ask do I want to turn it on , tap for yes and it sits there spinning. Face time is on in settings?
Have you tried signing out of your Apple ID, restart the iPad and then start all over again?
Go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then go back to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in again. Then go to Settings>FaceTime>On. See if it will stay turned on and it it does, sign in and setup. -
Itunes is stating that my ipod has space but when i sync it itunes says i need an additional 1.32GB
tunes is stating that my ipod has space but when i sync it itunes says i need an additional 1.32GB
Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

Cannot install apps at all in app store. iPhone 4 says there is a billing issue and wants my credit card secruity code which when I enter, it claims it's an invalid code...
Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ -

I want to share PDF documents with others. These documents have been edited (mostly highlights) by me using Preview. I want to share these documents without the changes I've made. How can I do this? Do I have to manually erase all of the changes I've made. The people I want to share it with also have macs.
IsaacYou can move the iTunes folder to a separate drive on your pc an then configure each account to use this drive / folder as iTunes library ... The problem is, that iTunes by default stores everything in your personal music folder which is separate for each user account in windows (and by default is on "C" drive).
I create a separate partition on every pc/laptop (and map a drive name) where I store music, videos and other mass data. This will also keep the "C" drive small, which is backed up from time to time and so my backup is also small.
