TS4036 My iphone4 was replaced yesterday.  It is still restoring after 24hours.  It won't show up in iTunes for me to sync.....  How do I restore it using iTunes to get my music on it?

MY iPhone 4 was replaced yesterday at the apple store.  It has been restoring for 24 hours now!  It won't show up when I connect it to iTunes.  iCloud says it will back up when it's done restoring?   How long is this going to take???

I finally managed to find my way round this problem by downgrading to iTunes 10.7 instead of iTunes 11 which seemed to be the main problem.
I deleted my iTunes 11 app, then downloaded again iTunes 10.7 from the apple previous downloads website, then used Pacifist to install it. No problems whatsoever! My iPod is now visible - again - and my whole music library is there.
So now I won't upgrade iTunes anymore!

  • When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?

    I got my ipad2 replaced yesterday. And this new ipad started giving me problem by crashing aps. Then I restored the ipad twice but the problem was still there. I called apple and they fixed it by doing Reset All Settings. But now I have this weird problem. When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?

    There is no way for anyone here to know if your replacement iPad is a refurbished unit.  Per Apple's replacement policy, replacements can be refurbished units.  If you feel the unit is not working correctly, take it back, let them check it out and if found defective, they will replace that unit.

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    You created a new AppleID?
    Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • HT1386 Cannot sync my ipod with itunes to get my music

    I cannot sync my ipod touch with itunes to get my music - it syncs then when I turn it on and unplug there is no music there

    I asked about this before,  Now my ipod is totally empty.  I get the ipod symbol on the top bar, but it quickly disappears. I do get the bar at the bottom that has the sync button, but when I hit it nothing happens. I am running windows 8. Please help. I have had an ipod for 6 years and I need my music.  I have the ipod classic.

  • HT4946 just connected my new iphone 4s to my existing ITUNES to get old music and it wiped my contacts.  Can i still  get them back , i didn't manually back up my phone before

    Contacts are not part of the backup.  Contacts, when using your phone as intended, are synched to your computer's Outlook, Address Book or with a cloud service.  If you haven't been using your phone as intended, then your contacts are gone.

  • TS4036 My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?

    My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7.  Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7. 

  • Iphone music won't show up in itunes

    Hi,
    I have an Iphone4s with IOS6. I recently put about 20 songs on my iphone from itunes and put these songs in a playlist.The only music that was there before this was a song I purchased. I can play the songs from my iphone just fine, but when I hook up my phone to my computer and pull up itunes, the playlist - in addition to the songs - won't display in itunes. I can click on the iphone icon and click on the music subtab and it will only show the song I purchased, but not the songs I recently put on. I am trying to figure out how to get the music I added to my iphone to show up in itunes. It would be great to see what is there and in addition, it would be great to play the music on my iphone from itunes on my computer.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello macr888,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • HT1414 I got an iPhone 4, at the store they transferred all my stuff from my iPhone 3GS. Everything came back but my music; so I hooked up to iTunes on my computer and hit 'restore' to last backup to get my music. But then all my recent stuff disappeared!

    .... everything came through when they transferred my stuff exept my music.
    So I hooked up to iTunes at home and restored to get my music. The problem is,
    it restored to last backup which was April 2012, now I lost all the stuff from then to now!!!
    Very frustrated! Can this be undone??  All I wanted to do was put my music on.

    You restored to a backup. Backups do not contain music since it is presumed to be saved in your iTunes library. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    You should have synced rather than doing a restore.
    Presuming that your music is in your iTunes library you can put it back on your iPhone by syncing with the proper music selected in the iTunes Music tab.

  • Why can't I sync my phone with more than one computer to get my music from both computers onto my I phone?

    So I sync my phone on one of my computers and I get the music I want from that computer....then I plug my phone into another computer and I try to get more of my music files from that computer. The problem is: I tunes wants to delete all the previous files that I synced up with my other computer. SOOOO I can not get separate music files off different computers. Why not? These are all my music files....Will I have to find a way to consolidate all of my music onto one computer? Or is there some way I can get all of my files onto my I-phone?

    Which is precisely why I am frustrated with how proprietary Apple is.  No matter how much people try to spout out about the superiority of Apple products, my iPhone should be able to grab music from my laptop and my PC at home, both being authorized already.  I've already tried home sharing.  I didn't buy the iPhone outright, it was provided to me through work.  For all the Apple and Mac only fans, I feel this is Apple's way of trying to make me purchase music I have already bought on CD through iTunes.  Whatever happened to ease of use?  Customer friendly applications?  Anyone else dislike how hard it is to add artwork to an album in iTunes after you load a CD and it doesn't recognize it?  Track by track?  How about offering one simple, convenient copy and paste to album like in Windows?  Oh, yeah, so you give up and buy it again in iTunes.  I do like the interface on the iPhone or iPod once things are working properly, however the hoops you jump through are ridiculous.  I want to load music off of my laptop, after having most of my library on another PC, and it won't work without deleting the library off of the phone.  What is the point of authorizing up to 5 computers if you can't use your music from those different machines?  There, I'm getting off of my soap box now.

  • Music that I have already bought won't show up in iTunes - no purchased playlist

    I have an iPhone 4s, I have bought almost 70 songs from iTunes previously and they show up ina purchased playlist on my phone, but when I try to download them they keep on saying downoad error, tap to retry, and they wont play in my library.
    Besides that, I can't get my purchased songs to show up in iTunes either, there is no purchased option in my playlists.
    I'm signed in to the same account that i purchased the songs from.
    Everything should be working fine and it's not.

    Did you already check your USB driver installation, including Apple Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • My iPhone 4S was replaced yesterday due to my handset being faulty. Before I gave the faulty one back I made sure all pictures were in photo stream! All 1006 were however when I got home and set up my new handset, there's only 146. Please help??

    I received my new iPhone 4S today due to the last one being faulty. I had 1006 pictures in my photo stream however on setting my new phone up I only have 146 :( please help?

    Had this problem before. sometimes it's the network. downloading all the photos take time.If you r so sure 1006 pics are in the photo stream, then no need to worry. It'll come. Give it time. Good things take time! <wink*>
