TS2776 I want to sync my iPhone 4 to my PC itunes but trying to upgrade and repeatedly failing to install version 10.6.3.

I want to sync and transfer songs from my PC to my iPhone 4 but the original itunes version was not compatible and I repeatedly found the latest 10.6.3 would not install.
I tried an earlier version 10.3 allegedly suitable for iPhone and although it actually installed no syncing waas possible!
Any ideas

I repeatedly found the latest 10.6.3 would not install.
Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

TS2776 I can't sync my iPhone movies. Have 3 movies but I get an error message that says some of the items in the iTunes library weren not copies because they could not be found. What do I do?

I can't sync my iPhone movies. I have 3 movies but now I am getting an error message that says some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied becuase they could not be found. Two of the movies are from the iTunes store and one is froma movie recently purchased.

Had the same issue, found a solution.
The iTunes Store open in my iTunes was U.S. and the apps on my iPad are from Switzerland's store. So I went to iTunes Store in iTunes, then opened the App Store tab and at the bottom right of this tab clicked the round american Flag button. Changed to Switzerland, went to Store>Authorize this computer (which it did sucessfully) and after that syncronization worked great. Hope this helps

I want to sync my iphone 4s to my home computer but have a different account for all the music on my home computer than on my iphone. What do I do?

I just got the Iphone 4s and am attempting to synch it to my home computer for the first time in order to transfer music and such. However, my home computer is set up with a different apple ID linked to my itunes library than my iphone apple ID. How do I transfer music and is it possible to merge accounts?

Apple ID accounts cannot be merged, and you can't transfer purchases to a new ID. Purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. You can, however, authorize your home computer for another Apple ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize this computer, and signing in with the other ID. This will allow you to add purchases from this ID to your iTunes library and sync them with your phone.
When you sync with an iTunes library for the first time iTunes will delete all iTunes media (apps, music, movies, etc.) from your phone and replace it with the media in the iTunes library you are syncing with. It's important to transfer your content to your new iTunes library prior to syncing so, although it will be deleted, it will simply be transferred back to your phone when you sync. Music purchased from the iTunes store can be transferred from your phone to your library prior to syncing (as explained in the linked guides below), however music from other sources cannot. You will either have to add these to iTunes from other sources (such as by ripping your CDs again) or use 3rd party software capable of transferring it from your phone (such as Touch Copy).
Follow these guides to start syncing with your new iTunes library with minimal or no data loss:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

I want to sync my iphone to a new computer without loosing my apps, contacts, and photos

I need to sync my iphone3 to a new computer without loosing my data

Take a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 I think this is what you need. I just did a clean install of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard on our iMac (mid-07) and used this guide to get my wife's iPhone (3GS) to sync with it again...without losing the apps. This page from OSXdaily is also useful: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/29/sync-iphone-new-computer-without-losing-data/ I do use Time Machine, and backed up my drive before I did the whole wipe and install, so I did have all the backup files for the iPhone... It took a little time, but I did manage to drag all the music and photos over so I didn't lose anything. Hope this helps.

Windows 7 computer shut down and restarted - no memory of iTunes or other files. I want to sync my iPod 4th Gen. to the computer, but it offers erase-and-sync. Now what?

In a nutshell, the family computer, a Compaq Desktop Windows 7, has been in our family since November 2010-ish. We moved last summer, and nothing happened to it. A couple of weeks ago, the desktop had a whole "recovery-restart-etc" dilemna and no it's like new - no memory of the past files. I had iTunes (7 or 9), for only me, the only iTouch 4th generation user in the house. Basically no other Apple products. Now that I want to fix the computer (restore old photos and applications, etc) as well as move my music to the desktop itself, iTunes tells me I must update my iOS 4....? (never updated the iOS thing) So I try to do so, and iTunes tells me I have to transfer my music files to the library. Fine. I try, and since the iTouch has a previous history with the previous iTunes library BEFORE the major shutdown, it tells me to erase and sync my data! I don't want to lose all my music and repay for it, and I may be smart, but I'm not at the Genius Bar, am I? So can somebody help me? Please? Thank you in advance.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music yu will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- If you have photos synced to the iPod you will need a pair program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. They also do music
- The connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The will also update the iOS on the iPod.

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

I have a new computer and want to sync my iPhone's apps. when I tell it to do so it says that all apps in my phone will be replaced by the ones in iTunes, but it's empty because it's new. If I do so will all my apps be deleted?

Transfer purchases over from your phone to your computer before you sync your apps. See Transferring Purchases for more details.

I can't figure out how to log off of my daughter's iTunes account that has been loaded to my PC. When I want to sync my iPhone, I get her data, not mine.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
