Syncing Iphone to newly re-installed Windows 7 and Itunes

I recently had to reinstall windows 7 on my desktop computer and I then reinstalled Itunes. When I tried to sync my Iphone, it basically told me I'd lose everything on the Iphone. I figured out how to bring the Itunes-purchased songs into my library but I can't figure out how to keep songs I put on through CD or keep my photos.

Additionally, ITunes seems to think I have more than one computer syncing to this IPHONe. I don't. This is the only computer that I sync to.

  • Re-installed Windows and iTunes due to system crash, iPhone won't sync now

    My system recently crashed. Re-installed Windows and iTunes, all my old documents, songs, movies were all gone. But I now still have movies, songs and pictures that are on my iPhone 3G and would like to transfer them to my newly re-installed system, but iTunes won't allow me to do it. I will have to lose everything currently in my iPhone because I am trying to sync it to which is now recognised as another computer.
    Is there any way I can get all my songs, movies, pictures transferred across to my new system?

    The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone, and the same for photos transferred from your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone so even if you are able to transfer the photos from your iPhone back to your computer, the original resolution of the photos will be lost.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased or acquired from the iTunes Store only.
    First you need to re-authorized your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes.
    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.
    After doing this when syncing iTunes content for the first time, your iPhone will likely be erased of all iTunes content first, but after you have transferred the content from your iPhone to your iTunes library, you can reselect it under the Music and Videos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Apple provides no option to transfer photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer. There may be a 3rd party utility that provides for this, but any such utility is not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    This is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of your important data stored on an external drive or some other media is so important, which should include your iTunes library and photos, along with all other data that is important to you. This is important regardless the platform, but even more so with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

  • Syncing to fresh install Windows and Itunes

    Recently I just re-install windows 7 and itunes, how can I resync the items on my Iphone 4 back to my computer?

    Honestly, you do not.
    Syncing between computer and iDevice is one way, you cannot sync content from the iDevice to the computer.
    The best option is to restore your media and other important files from the backup you keep of your computer.
    If you do not have a backup, that is not good.
    Connect the iDevice to the computer, do not sync.
    From iTunes select File > Transfer Purchases.
    It is very likely that you will end up losing much of your content  this way, but that is what happens when there is not a backup.    

  • Itunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Iphone 4S not recognized in Windows and Itunes

    I recently installed itunes 11.1.4 on my Windows 7 (64) laptop computer and my iphone 4S was no longer recognized in Windows or itunes. Previous versions of itunes had worked with no problems with this combination. I completely uninstalled itunes, apple software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour and apple application support and restarted the computer. When I attached the iphone, it was recognized by Windows. I reinstalled itunes only to find the iphone was no longer recognized in Windows or itunes again. When viewing the device in Device Manager, I discovered the yellow exclamation mark and proceeded to attempt to update the driver. Windows reported that it "cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device." Repeated the uninstall and reinstall process with a new download of the itunes installer which produced the same result. Need help resolving this problem because I need to sync data on phone with data on computer.

    Hello JHHamlin,
    Go through the section 5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed from the link below
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Go through the above link in the sections which I am mentioning below and see if it fixes your issue.
    > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    * Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Driver
    * In the Device Manager window, right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.

  • Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

    Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
    I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
    Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
    Any help please would be fantastic.
    Thanks Chris

    Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
    And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
    Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
    I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
    Thanks again

  • I installed Windows and Mac OS

    I installed Windows and Mac OS
    have installed on my macbook, windows 7 and Mac OS, but the Mac does not work, I tried to access it several times but nothing happens. I need help. Please.

    My first guess is that the Windows was installed over MacOS. Then, you will need to reinstall MacOS using the recovery CDs included in your MacBook purchase.
    Second option is that both operating systems are installed correctly, and you need to tell the computer to boot from a specific drive at startup.

    You have to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
    If you don't then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are being prompted to review the account when logging into it then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will either have to enter credit card details (you can remove the card after entering it), or create a new account (and this time follow the instructions on the above link)

  • HT1535 I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes.  Can that be done?  I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.

    I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes.  Can that be done?  I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.  Help!

    You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you.  One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
    Here is one such product.

  • HT1351 I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When i hooked up my ipod it didnt automatically sync my songs on my ipod with the library. How do I do this manually?

    I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When I hooked up my ipod it did not transfer my songs from my ipod to my itunes library. How do I do this?

    iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchsed from the iTunes Store).
    However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  (Going forward, you should use a backup strategy, and include your iTunes data in what gets backed up.  Then, you would be able to recover your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists and ratings.)

    My iphone charged but when it turns on does not continue charging also windows and itunes do not identify my iphone!!!
    please help

    Macafee security center is may be the culprit.
    Open Macafee then: select;
    Internet & Network > configure
    Firewall > Advanced
    Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
    Highlight (click on)
    Then Grant full access to Itunes.
    APPLY then OK
    When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes.
    Try that or:
    Disable your firewall.

  • Windows and itunes can now see my ipod!!

    Hi
    Chris... any anyone else interested
    I have managed to get my ipod to work with windows and itunes. but at a cost. some of my music and movies will not coppy back ontot he ipod and chkdsk of C:\ showed many errors in the itunes directory. these files worked previously so my conclusion is that updating has somehow corrupted files and ipod update software on the ipod itself.
    Heres what i had to do
    1. My pod was showing version 1.0 even though I had version 1.2 previously. this may have been due to the attempt at a re-set from advice given on the forum for trying to get reconnection (5R's) so i wanted to re-run updater.
    2. ipod updater (found in C:\program files\ipod) could not run due to previous topics posted (ipod ejected after 10 seconds without update and drive diappears from 'my computer'). so...I uninstalled itunes 7.2, and reinstalled itunes 6. To do this I had to rename my current library 'itunes 7.02 old' to avoid the 'itunes cannot continue to install as your library was created in a later version' error message.
    3. Itunes 6 still did not recognise itunes and kicked it off windows too just like before. The difference was however that this time running ipod updater from C:\program files\ipod\.... allowed it to update from the previous installer and this set the ipod back to version 1.1 but obviously during this process all items on the ipod were deleted. This update was allowed despite the drive not showing up in 'my computer'?
    4. plugging in the updated ipod opened itunes and at last the ipod icon appeared and the drive remained in windows. I updated to software version 1.2 and itunes 7.02
    5. I then went into c:\......my music\itunes and renamed the current library 'itunes' to '7.02' and my previously renamed 'itunes library 7.02 old' back to 'itunes'
    6. on restarting itunes my whole old library was reinstated.
    there were 68 problems and an empty 'movie' folder was seen as 'corrupt' by windows. CHKDSK on C drive removed any corruption. Everything else seems to be updating ok....my purchased games, movies, audio etc...
    So in summary if you are stuck in the loop of being unable to restore an old itunes due to having a new library or not being able to use the previous ipod updater to restore your ipod follow the steps above and all should be ok.
    this does not solve the cause however so any comments on what may have happened would be most appreciated.

    Hey there MattSK123,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
