Syncing purchased music and podcast

I recently lost my itunes library. I have put all my content into my new library and was informed that the items I had purchased would sync from my ipod into my new library. Well I synced last night and now all my purchased stuff is gone off my ipod and I don't see it in my library. Does anyone have any help with this kind of issue?

I found a solution! I had not noticed that windows changed the drive name for my iPOD to c: (previously it was j:) this was causing a major conflict with windows as my hard drive network path is i: so I changed the iPOD path name to m: (this could be any letter as long as its AFTER your hard drive path letter) and this solved the problem. So not only did I have problems with updating my iPOD software it also seemed to have a knock on effect with iTUNEs recoginising my PC was authorised. So both problems have been resolved, my iPOD has been updated and is syncing as it should. If you are having similar problems, check out your device drive names ans try changing the iPOD drive name (via control panel>Admin tools>computer management). Finally, why did windows change my drive name - I suspect it was because I had been charging my iPOD via my various work PC's and some this caused network drive name to be changed. P.S. if your iPOD drops out of iTUNES device list eject it via my computer, right click and eject.

  • I am having trouble restoring music and podcasts to my iPhone after a system upgrade that required a restore to factory settings? All I can access is purchased music.

    When I upgraded to OS 6 I had to restore my iPhone 4 to factory settings and now only have access to my purchased music and only some podcasts.  Lost my playlists and most podcasts and can't figure out how to retrieve them from a old iTunes library on windows especially with the new podcasts app...podcasts no longer appear in iTunes.   Is there a way to fix this?

    Its not a matter of Safari "supporting this site". Its a lack of testing on United's part that its site is compatible across all platforms. They have introduced code, script or markup that isn't fully compatible. You can try downloading Chrome or an alternate browser as a work around for now. But it is United's job to fix its site. My guess is that enough complaints will come in and they will do so, but this is an airline we are talking about.

  • I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 and now my iPhone 4S will only sync purchased music to my phone from iTunes. Help! I have TONS of music that I have bought and burned to my computer, but cannot listen to it on my iPhone. This seems ridiculous!

    On that PC, launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • Sync problems with music and podcasts

    Hi there,
    whenever I put new content to the music playlists or I got new podcasts loaded down by iTunes to sync them to the iPhone, the first sync process breaks down. The iPhone applies again after 10 seconds in a locked condition so I have to unlock it fisrt to keep on syncing.
    I always have to sync twice to get a result. For example, to get new songs to the iPhone, first I have to put the songs on the iTunes playlist, then I have to sync with a disabled checkbox at "music" (the complete music will be erased at the iPhone) and then I have to sync again with an enabled checkbox (complete music will be sync comletely new at the iPhone).
    It takes a lot of time to do the sync process in this way, can anybody help me? Am I doing something wrong?
    Best regards

    Another user recently reported a similar problem and it turned out to be an issue with email.
    What I would do would be to turn off all syncing except for music and podcasts, reset your phone (perhaps even restore) and try the sync and see if it works. If it does at least you can narrow it down to something other than music and podcasts.

  • I Have an Iphone 3gs and have problems syncing music and podcasts

    I have had my phone now for around 15 months and have not had previous problems with it.
    I synced my phone today and it has cleared all music and podcasts from it and will not allow me to resync - apps are syncing fine.
    It is a 32GB phone but on summary page it now says its capacity is only 4GB
    Any ideas on what I have done or how to fix?
    Thanks

    If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music.  Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

  • While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts

    While syncing movie iPod/iTunes deletes my music and Podcasts. This is very frustrating becaucse I have ALL my sync settings set to Manual. What can I do to stop this? I'm about to throw my iPod against the wall!

    sorry you've just been dealt a blow from Apple trying to "help" its customers. you're correct: you cannot sync only music or movies. even if "manually sync" is selected, once you sync something like moves, the rest of your library gets deleted. it's completely backwards and non-intuitive.

    Anyone have any ideas or did my wife and myself just get defective phones?
    Like I said all songs and podcasts start  like 30 sec in them jump back to the intro then to the end then the middle. Its quite crazy.

  • HT1296 Can i sync my ip4s on to a new pc and not lose music that was not purchased but imported from cd or will it only sync purchased music?

    can i sync my iphone to a new pc without losing music that was not purchased but imported from cd? or will it only sync purchased music? thanks x

    If you're trying to sync your iphone to a different computer than the one that you used to import your CD's, you can't (anymore).  Now that Apple is selling iTunes Match ($25/yr) you can only access non-iTunes-purchased songs if they are either:
    A) on the exact computer that you used to import them into iTunes
    or
    B) are already synced to your iphone
    Now that iTunes Match exists, if you want to move non-iTunes-purchased music that you imported on one computer...to a different computer, you have to buy iTunes Match.  Awesome, huh?

  • My iphone 4s deleted all of my books, music, and podcasts from my phone and now will not allow me to put them back on there.

    As stated in the title, I was redownloading old purchases. After transferring a tv show onto my iphone it would not allow me to transfer another one. I wasn't able to locate the show on my phone, so then I checked my music. All of my music and podcasts were missing. My books were showing up at first, but then as soon as I closed out of one that I was reading and clicked on a different one they all vanished as well. I tried dragging on a song, a book, a show, and I kept getting the circle with the line through it. I have no idea what to do. My phone has always been set up to manually manage music and videos. When I selected to sync all music it still wouldn't do anything.
    I've also recently, within the past 4 hours, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes because it kept crashing when I was trying to download my old purchases. I've done it before and haven't had any issues with it deleting anything before. I'm in the process of restoring my phone in the hopes that this will work, but I don't know if it will.
    Anyone out there that can help me?

    iPhone 3G is Old technology. When it was launched it had iOS 2.0. Currently, the highest it can go is iOS 4.2.1 and therefore can not handle many newer applications. As you have recorded, it is giving good service for which it has been designed.
    Needless to say, if you want to use applications as stated, you must have at least 3GS, whose current is iOS 6.1.2. On the lighter side; Rather than updating iOS they are asking you to update iPhone (Technology). Cheers

  • ITunes 10.6 not syncing purchased music to iPhone iOS 5.1

    I upgraded iTunes to version 10.6 and my iPhone to iOS 5.1. iTunes will not sync purchased music from the iTunes store. In the past, I have been able to sync these purchases via iTunes. Now they appear greyed out on my iPhone 4S.
    When I go into the App Store from my iPhone, I am able to download my purchases, but there are many and tapping on them one by one is not something I want to do EVERY time I update my iPhone to a newer OS. I would like to sync from my computer since those files are on my computer and I can play them in iTunes.

    I have also tried adding my music into a different playlist and it will still not sync half of my songs.  I have also deleted the Purchased playlist and copied them back into it again... still nothing works
    This is quite silly!

  • HT202157 Apple TV is stuck on "Syncing purchased music"

    After updating software, my Apple TV is stuck on "Syncing purchased music."  Have given it hours and restarted with no resolution.  All other features work fine.  Thoughts?

    OK, I'm with you now.
        1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
        2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
        3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • HT1689 how do i sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    How do I sync downloaded music from itunes to my ipad?  It will only sync purchased music.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.
