- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Or backup the iTunes library and restore to new computer by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
- Connect the device to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the device under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the device from that backup.
Note the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like alls and music.

When you connect your iPad or iPod to the Mac, click on the device name in iTunes - don't click on the arrow on the device. Then click on the Music tab in the main window pane. Now you should see 'Sync Music' and all your playlists, artists and albums. Here you mark the checkboxes for what should be synced.

It does (should) show up in Explorer on a PC. On a Mac it does not show up in Finder
Try:

Have you installed any camera or scanning software?
If you have a camera, does the camera show when you connect to computer?

I have no idea why my pc (which runs windows 7) got corrupted when I plugged in my iPad into it., I have no idea why my pc (which runs windows 7) got currupted when I plugged in my iPad into it.

2 days back my pc got corrupted when I plugged my iPad 3 into it.

I highly doubt its the Ipad that corrupted your PC. What do you mean by corrupt? Whats it doing?

Lately when I plug my phone into my computer with my usb cord it will not show up on my iTunes. I want to sync my phone again but can't when it is not connected. How can I get my iTunes to recognize my phone?

You do not say what computer OS you are using, so here is the information for both.

WHEN I PLUG MY NEW IPHONE INTO MY COMPUTER, ITUNES IS NOT LOADING UP

when I plug my new iphone 3gs into my computer, itunes is not loading, I have latest itunes loaded plus 3 other ipods on account

The lower part of the following link gives instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

"Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

Thanks for the help Ricky.
I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

When i plug in my iphone into my windows 7 laptop to update it wont sync or find my iphone

i plug my iphone or my sons ipod into my acer laptop using windows 7 and itunes opens but will not sync or open in itunes

iTunes is for the PC, not your phone. Get on your computer, go to Apple, download the latest iTunes, update and then plug your phone in.
All will be good.

When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync

When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync and my iPad will not charge. I've used every chord that I own. In addition, I've plug other things into my Mac and they work fine. If I plug my iPad into the wall it charges.

Then it doesn't seem like its the cable then does it.
If the iPad isn't being recognized in iTunes, you can start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, reboot your iPad, restart your Mac and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If it still isn't being seen by iTunes, look for help here.

To whom it may concern
I would like to inform you about an error occurred when I upgraded my firmware to IOS 6
When I plug a headphone/earphone into my, then unplug it, the volume turned out to be unadjustable
I have attached 2 screenshots of the error, pls help?
Thanks.

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

I had to replace my hard drive and when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another computer, and asks to erase all my data. Help!

I had to replace my hard drive and now when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another library

That is because the iPad can only "sync" to one iTunes library at a time. You can move all of the iPad contents into a new iTunes library. This discussion will give you a lot of useful information.

This one is Mac specific - not that it is any different except for the iTunes menu.

Remember to authorize the computer in iTunes first - From the iTunes menu go to Store>Authorize this computer.

I'm having a problem with my Itunes, when i plug in my ipad mini.

I just got a new ipad Mini for christmas and i wanted to sync it with my music on itunes from my computer. I just had to get a new computer because my other one had broke. So i downloaded just a few songs to my new computer that i wanted to put on my Ipad. But now when i plug in my Ipad mini to my c mac to sync it, Itunes begins to load it then crashes. I have tried updated my itunes, my ipad and my computer being new is already fully updated. So why can't i Sync my Ipad mini?

First question: You said: "I downloaded just a few songs to my computer ...". Have you placed them in iTunes on your computer?
These suggestions:
If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
