Unable to sync iTunes purchases to IOS devices from Macbook

So Apple sells ebooks and audio books through iTunes to people on their Macbooks. RIght? And when you go to sync these purchases to the Apple IOS devices you are told that you can not sync them to the Apple IOS device without erasing all of the rest of your music library on the same IOS device. Right?
I have to stop right here because thoughts of "class action",  of feeling having been defruaded, of having been taken for a ride. If I had nown before I bought my iPhone 4s that I would have to purchase all kinds of third party help to make it work only seemingly correct I would have never bought one. If I knew that when Jobs died this was going to happen I would have sold my Macbook right then and there. Tsk Tsk Tsk Mr Cook. So is Apple going to drive 10 hours from the nearest Apple Store to me and hand me a new Macbook without all of the bugs? Will that make me happy? No.

Yes.

No.  Not right.
You are over reacting to an issue that does not exist.  You seem to be having a specific issue on your specific case.
Calm down.  Breathe.
Try to explain your isse.

  • Same itunes library, multiple ios devices from different people?

    before anything, let me tell u that i followed the advice here...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    and i lost all 3rd party apps and app data on my dad's ipad.
    we have two ipads at home. the one belonging to my dad was never synced to an itunes library ever! it was set up as new right from the ipad. now, to install ios 7 on it i followed the instructions above and 'made a new library' in my user accound on the mac. my dad doesn't have any user account on our home mac as he never uses the computer at home.
    so then i 'backedup' everything from my dad's ipad to the library and then updated it. upon restoring it brought back everything inside the bundled ios apps but the 3rd party apps and its data was gone!!!
    i disticntly remember 'syncing' it before restoring it but itunes 11.1 didn't 'transfer' the purchases on its own. i should had known. now my dad has lost considerible data like saved articles in various news apps, game data, etc...
    i dont know what to do. i dont know of this is reversible but if i could atleast know the best way to manage ios devices from multiple users with ONE ITUNES LIBRARY, that would be great!

    is this a bug or by design to not transfer purchases during sync?

  • Moving Multiple IOS devices From Macbook Pro to iMac

    I just bought a new iMac (switching from a PC ).  I was able to move all of my families music and movies for their iPod Nano's very easily.  I have an iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, two iPod Touches (1G and 4G) and a Shuffle that are currently in separate libraries on my Macbook Pro.  What is the easiest way to move all of these to the new iMac so I can start using the iMac to sync the devices without losing anything.  Is this a multi-step process to move each one individually?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Hi, did you try booting the MBP into FireWire target disk mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Or is this not a TB to FW cable?
    Is the MBP running Migration Assistant?
    Does the MBP have a TB port?

    If you are indeed using 10.5.8 as indicated in your signature you will first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard; this is available in the Online Apple Store. You will then be able to uprade to Lion - again available in the Online Store where you will get a code to enable download from the App Store in Applications. This will enable you to use iCloud and run the latest iTunes.

    I am from Pakistan.

    The 3G cannot be updated to iOS6, it can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Activation issues are generally the result of the device being hacked or jailbroken.

  • Unable to sync newly purchased songs to my ipod nano

    I have a new computer running Windows7 with Itunes and am unable to sync newly purchased songs to my shuffle device. I can, however, sync purchased songs from my Ipod shuffle to my computer.

    In iTunes 11 use the View menu to show the Sidebar or left column. Select your phone there. Then the familiar row of tabs will appear to the right. Select Music, scroll down to add what you want then scroll to the bottom to find Apply or Sync.

  • HT1414 I am unable to sync iTunes or iPhoto.  I get error message 1140.

    I have a new iPhone 5.  I am unable to sync iTunes or iPhoto to it.  I get an error message every time "iPhone cannot be synced.  Unknown Error 1140".  I'm using OS 10.8.2 and IOS 6.  Does anyone know if there is a fix on the way from Apple for this?

    Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:

  • HT1918 I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card

    I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card, the gift card information is entered on the phone and I can see the credit amount.

    I am having the same problem and it is REALLY frustrating.
    Exact setup that you have, COMCAST, PayPal, etc....
    I have reviewed my account three times with my PayPal info and received confirmation from my PayPal Account but it still won't let me log in. Let me know if you hear anything.
    This is a REAL PAIN.

  • Do I have to store all of my iTunes on each iOS device I have or can I share

    Instead of having all my music on my iPhone, iPad and iMac which takes 6gb of storage can I use one device or do I have to use I match and pay for the privilege?

       You should be able to use the share feature if you have home sharing turned on, on your Mac but you must be signed into iTunes on your iOS device I believe also.

  • How to sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

    How do I sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

    Simple solution to imessage not syncing....
    I did it and I hope this solves your problems too!! My wife's devices would NOT sync imessages the way we think iMessage should sync intuitively. I figured it out and it's now working perfect from what I can tell.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and make sure under phone numbers you have your cell phone number filled out! I deleted prior threads before testing (not sure if that was necessary) but now it's working like a charm. (might take a second to ping the phone number to the imessage server)
