Syncing my iphone and lost my song ratings and play counts
Hi,
everytime I lost all the song ratings that I made and play counts in my iphone and my mac itunes overwrites with its one...
so if I want to have a 5 stars song I have to rate in the Mac to keep in the iphone.... but I want to change it I have to do it again in my itunes in my mac
do you where I could change the preference from MAC to Iphone?
thanks in advance
Im kinda newbie on this thing
I have a MacBook Pro
Itunes 11.0.5.
iphone 4s
IOS 6.1.3
JoeleMoore,
You just need to re-authorize your computer to play those purchases, then they will be able to sync to your iPhone.
1. Open iTunes.
2. From the Store menu (at the top of the iTunes window), choose Deauthorize Computer.
3. Enter your Apple ID and password and click Deauthorize.
4. From the Store menu (at the top of the iTunes window), choose Authorize Computer.
5. Enter your Apple ID and password and click Authorize.
6. Repeat these steps for each Apple ID you use.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?
Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)? And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?

If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child. -
I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?
Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.

I synced my iphone 3gs for the first time and when it said it was complete my music was no longer on my phone, but it was not in itunes either. Where has this music I purchsed went?
When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

My very expensive 2010 MacBook Pro hard drive died over a year ago. I finally synced my iPhone to the replacement laptop pc and it wiped out all the music on the phone including most of the purchases. Can I get the music back (restore didn't help)?
Okay, I finally got the couple of songs left on the phone to play by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the pc and re syncing. The last version I installed (just prior to my original post) failed to start due to some unspecified error?!?. Great!. But I still couldn't sync the itunes purchases from the PC to the iPhone. Then, after about an hour of googling and reading assorted posts mostly about using google to resolve the issue, I finally figured out that I have to actually download ALL the purchased albums from iCloud back onto the iPhone! There are hundreds of them, and some are not even available anymore.
Why do I have to do that when I originally purchased and downloaded all the music to the phone? Why are they all on the PC to begin with and why won't they go to the phone via the USB cable? Why didn't all the music get wiped out on the phone when I synced with the dodgy itunes I had to uninstall. never mind.
I accept that all my original music from cds and shared collections is gone on the failed mbp hard drive, but how come this once okay experience has become a trauma? Hundreds of songs to download all over again, sheesh, this has not exactlybeen a "That Was Easy" experience guys. -
I moved iTunes folder location, now all my personal song ratings and playlists are gone. How can I get them back? All the iTunes files are intact, just in a new location. Running iTunes 11.1.5.5 on Windows 7
Put everything back the way it was.
Them move the folder correctly.

I can no longer see the top menu bar in itunes. where you see the status of syncing. where you have the option to click and move a song you are playing to the middle of the song, etc.
It's iTunes screen menubar:

Updated software to iOS 5.1.1 and lost all contacts, messages, and photos specific to this iPhone. Is there any way to retrieve the lost info?
if you don't have a backup on iclouds or itunes that you can restore to, then all is gone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.
If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you? -
Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?
Oh ok. As far as music, no i have not synced music because it would load so much. I don't have movies or tv. I have never loaded ringtones before. So i am guessing they are connected to music. My apps do sync. So the best thing is to not sync and just drop them on my devices icon???
oh, if I check sync music the button for entire music library is selected how do I get Selected playlist, artists, ect. selected. Right now everthing is grayed out. -

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, my music stats (play count, last played, etc.) no long sync to iTunes. How can I fix this? Thanks for the help.
If you have any podcasts in your iTunes library you should see a Podcasts sync setting tab to the right when you connect your phone and click on its name on the left sidebar (see image below). On this tab check to sync podcasts and sync your phone.
