Syncing issues and music on phone will not play.

I recently syned my I-phone to my computer and noticed many of my songs were not successfully copied to my library for some reason? Since doing so and to top it off, when I go to play the music on my I-Phone it just skips over majority of the songs! Please help, if anyone has any suggestions It would be greatly apprecicated. Thank you.

Something is up with the jack, no? I tried to plug my desktop speakers in directly, since I cannot play my own music through my 2ND COMPUTER at work off of my iPhone (yet another point of complete absurdity from this iPhone). I tried to plug the typical jack from the speakers directly into the headphone jack and it doesn't quite connect like it does on other devices and the music plays through my iPhone speakers. Why is this?

I lost all the songs on my itunes and now my phone will not sync with out loosing all my music

my computer hard drive crashed and i had to re download itunes and now my phone will not sync without erasing all my music

That is correct. The iphone will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time. If you sync to another then it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer/library.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You will also need to enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the computer . When you first sync, you should get the option to merge. Otherwise this data will be erased as well.
Much easier to use your backup copy to put everything back.

The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

I have run into the same problem.
1. I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s. She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did. After I did we ran into problems with messaging. Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked. When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy. I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7. I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2. I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account. It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4. Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5. I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times. The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup. It does not matter which I select. It prompts me to connect to iTunes again. The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings.
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?

No, you are not. Apple merely encourages there customers to secure their own data. Only fools choose to not have a passcode lock. I hope for your own laziness that you never keep any personal data on your phone... otherwise you are setting yourself up for major issues when your phone falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person.

I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
Videos on your phone should not do this. Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I have a n IPhone 4S. I upgraded to IOS7 and then tried tp go back to my prevous IOS and now my phone will not turn on at all.

I tried to do the same, but couldn't find ios 6. I even tried the APPstore, to download the last IOS6 version.
The most problem is the running out of the battery.
I've checked each app who is "eating" the most power.
The battery stoped runaway, when I closed the weather service....
So for now, I will use regular internet service, and probbaly will do to more app.
Until, finaly, I will find my self with all the applications closed....:-)
That will be the sign, to replace my phone to anderoid....:-)
Till now, there is no any sign from Apple to have a glance to our complanes.

hey, i need some help with my iphone 5s, i did the update ios 7.0.6 and now my phone will not power on?? can someone please help me!

Hello ABrosz
If you are not able to get your iPhone to power on, try to reset it by holding the Sleep/wake button and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds and see if it turns on. Check out the articles below to troubleshoot your iPhone further.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and videos and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Help! My phone will not play sound when an app is open?!

Seemingly out of the blue, my iPhone stopped playing sound through the external speaker. This began about a month or two ago and I have been unable to fix the problem. The sound will play through the external speaker until I open another app (safari, camera, etc.). The sound used to work through headphones until this morning. Now the sound won't work... At all! I brought my phone to an apple store a week ago and the first guy checked my phone with a flashlight and told me first that there didn't seem to be any water damage. Then, some other technician helped me. He opened iTunes and miraculously, the song played! I couldn't believe it was magically working. He explained that it looked like my dock connector was looking a little eroded and that is why the sound doesn't work. He said he could try to brush it out and that should fix the problem. Tried my phone later... Volume doesn't work anymore! The dock connector works fine otherwise, I am still able to charge my phone. My phone will not play music via bluetooth speaker. I talked to multiple people on the phone who all seem to think it's a software problem... I am really not understanding what is going on with my phone! I have googled this problem many times in the last few months and most people say that it turned out to be a software issue. I have checked both water indicators (in the dock connector and the headphone plug, right?) with a flashlight and I don't see any red... Any insight or ways to fix this would be very appreciated! The whole thing makes no sense to me.

Are you using an APple charger or a thrid-party one? I ask because if you are using a third party charger, it may not be wired properly and it may be telling your iPhone that the cable connected is also an audio interface so your iPhone may be sending the audio signals through the cable to the charger. I have a charger in my truck that also doubles as an FM transmitter so I can play my iPhone audio through the truck radio. Your charger may be doing something similar, especially if it is not an Apple charger.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
SeaGate http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.
SanDisk http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16668/kw/itunes <http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16668/kw/itunes> Videos purchased or rented from iTunes will not play in iOS 8 The SanDisk Wireless Media Drive and Wireless Flash Drive support streaming of DRM protected iTunes purchased movie content to authorized devices in iOS 6 and iOS 7 ONLY. The DRM protected content is opened in Safari where the DRM is decrypted and the video is played. iOS 8 issue In iOS 8 Apple device has NOT enabled Safari based DRM decryption. Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple. We do not have any estimated date when Safari will support DRM decryption of iTunes purchased content.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.
