Upgraded from XP to Win 7, backed up all iTunes media to my iPhone 4, only transferred iTunes purchased media.

Things purchased on iTunes: easy to transfer to my PC/iTunes Library from my phone.
Things ripped from CD/downaded elsewhere: can't seem to transfer off my phone.
Help!
I don't want to sync my device with iTunes as it will erase my data. Can't enable disk use as it says it will also erase my data. I have all my media on my iPhone as it was on my PC before I upgraded to Win7 from XP, now I just want to transfer it all back!

Hey there SNagai,
It sounds like you are not seeing your iPad in iTunes after updating it. I would recommend the following article to help you get that working again:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

  • Just upgraded from Illustrator cs5 to cs6 WIN (not cloud) and all my fonts did not transfer..only have Myriad.

    can someone please guide me to find my fonts...using Windows 7 and all are in my font folder in control panel and were just fine in CS5 but when i just upgraded from Illustrator cs5 to cs6 WIN (not cloud) and all my fonts did not transfer..only have Myriad. thanks

    To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)? 
    And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems?  But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them?

  • Elements 5 will not start from the windows old file after upgrading from vista to win 7

    Elements 5 will not start from windows.old after upgrading from vista to win 7

    Ideally there should not be any impact of OS change, but officially PSE5 is not supported on Win7.
    What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

    Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I recently got a os reload to mountain lion from snow leopard. I backed up all photos on a thumb drive-Now all backed up photo's come up as an alias?? How to correct??

    I recently got a os reload to mountain lion from snow leopard. I backed up all photos on a thumb drive…Now all backed up photo's come up as an alias?? How to correct??

    Could you take a screen show showing the files on your thumb drive? This will allow us to better see what you have on the drive.
    Command-Shift-3 takes the entire screen
    Command-Shift-4 takes a portion of the screen. <--use this one

    Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
    Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
    Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
    Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
    If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

  • C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

    Hello.
    I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista.  Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print.  The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
    -  Printer is hooked up wirelessly
    -  I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
    -  I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
    There is no error.  Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed.  I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.
    Paul

    I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
    After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
    Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
    After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful  restore system and start again.  Most it took me was three attemps.
    Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
    Hope this helps you......... Good luck

  • Hebrew versions of photoshop-upgrading from xp to win 7

    my GF's daughter is studying photography in high school and they all bought cs3. the UI is in hebrew. shes using xp. the computer is very slow. im upgrading my pc and want to pass my hardware to her and add an ssd and pgrade XP to win 7 pro.
    so some questions please
    1-cs5 is the first version that is supported on win 7?
    2-shes afraid for me to install a newer version because shes nervous it will look different and she wouldnt be able to do homework because the UI/menus/features will be different.
    3-from what version does the software take advantage of strong (ish) gpus? im passing my evga gtx 280 to her.
    4-is the hebrew version (not text support tool, but the whole UI) a built in feature, or do you specifically have to buy a hebrew version? Im curious if its like win 7 ultimate where all the different language UI are built in and you can change it on the fly
    5-what is the ME version? I ask because mine is a regular CS4 version and I dont have an issue to add text to a photo in hebrew.
    6-what is the hebrew UI version called?
    7-how different is cs3 compared to cs6 or cs5? visually/UI or menus?
    im trying to see if its even worth upgrading components/version for her. thank you for your time.

    The ME versions existed up to CS5, that is correct, but as of CS6 this differentiation was obliterated, though, of course there may be specific issues of which I have no first hand knowledge being a German. In any case, from CS6 all the functions that previously required an ME version are integrated and if installed correctly, the app should appear in those languages as well. Beyond that I can remember a few threads about being not able to type certain characters, but this may merely depend on font avialability and glyph substitution settings. With regards to the UI - the icons' meanings haven't changed, but there are lots of new tools plus the UI has been overhauled and finetuned in pretty much every version in recent years. Whether or not that is confusing is probably down to the individual user. it may be overwhelming at the beginning, but one will get the hang of it eventually.

  • Upgrading from 1.6.8 and backing up

    I have a question about upgrading from 1.6.8 to the latest Mountain Lion release on my MacBook Pro. I'm really new to this whole Apple thing (been on Windows past years) so please bear with me. I've read the "Backup now" article/tip on this website and some other articles, but I still have some questions:
    I'm planning to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion release. I want to make a full backup/clone of the current drive inside the MacBook Pro to an external drive. If the upgrade causes issues I would like to be able to simply "go back in time" using the data from the external drive and have my old version of 1.6.8 back.
    Nothing more, nothing less. I just want to be sure I can quickly go back if anything problematic arises.
    Can you do this with time machine or with the disk utility function, or do I need 3rd party programs like CCC etc? And how would I go about restoring, assuming for example that the upgrade causes an issue like unable to boot MacOS mountain lion. Would I reinstall MacOS from the disk I got when I bought the MacBook Pro, and from there restore the backup from the external drive? Or do you have to do something else? From the articles I read I'm not entirely sure how the restore process works if an upgrade fails or causes issues?
    Again: I'm really new to how Apple handles this kind of stuff. Any help and tips appreciated.

    You can do that with Time Machne or one of the Cloning software programs.
    I suggest doing both.
    On your external drive create at least 2 partitions or more.
    Make one of the partitions about 100GBs bigger then the total space used on your internal drive. That partition is for a Clone of your internal drive.
    Make the second, if the leftover external space allows, twice the size of you internal drive.
    And if there is more space available on the external just make a third partition with it. Format All of them Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID (That is under the Options button on the partition tab of Disk Utility) and give them all unique names so you remember what they arre for.
    Clone your internal to the one partition that is 100GBs larger then the space used on the internal.
    Once that is done start Time Machine, found in Sys Prefs, and selec the partition you may that is twice the size of the space used on the internal and run a Time Machine Backup. Once the backup is finished turn Off Time Machine, eject the external drive and disconnect it from the system and then Reboot your system .
    Once all that is done then buy, download and install Mountain Lion to your internal drive.
    If for some reason you don't care for it you will need the Original Snow Leopard Re-Install System Disc that came with your system. Boot the system from that and wipe the drive and use the Time Machine backup to Restore the system back to before you did the upgrade.
    Or Boot from the external drive partition that holds the Clone and use DU to wipe the internal drive then use the cloning software program to Re-Clone the internal drive.

  • SCOM 2007 server OS upgrade from 32 bit Win 2003 SP2 to Win 2008 R2 64 bit

    Dear Experts,
    We are planning to upgrade where in SCOM 2007 R2 presents on 32 bit Virtual Machine Win 2003 SP2 to Win 2008 R2 32 bit or 64 bit. Though OpsManager Database is already upgraded to SQL 2008 R2 from SQL 2005. So No pblm with DB upgradation.
    So my point is If I go ahead to upgrade from Win 2003 (SCOM 2007 R2 resides) to Win 2008 R2 does it create any impacts on SCOM 2007 R2 environment ? Please let me know the procedure for this or any documentation is available to complete this.
    Thanks in advanced!
    Saravana Raja

    Firstly,
    Please note that you can only upgrade an OS to the same architecture (i.e. from x86 to x86, and not to x64). See the following Support Article about supported upgrade paths for Windows Server 2003: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/951041?wa=wsignin1.0.
    Therefore, if you plan to upgrade to a x64 architecture, you will need to perform a new installation, and not an in-place upgrade. If you are going that route, I'd suggest skipping Windows Server 2008 R2, and try to push to Windows Server 2012 if not Windows
    Server 2012 R2; to more future-proof your environment.
    Further, If you are going to perform a new OS installation (to move into x64 architecture), why not also utilize the "new installation" requirement in that scenario to also upgrade to System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager?
    The base scenario would be for you to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows Server 2003 x86 to Windows Server 2008 R2 x86. Except, there is no x86 version of Windows Server 2008 R2, only x64! Note: Windows Server 2008 (without the 'R2') has an x86 option.

  • Upgrading from CS2 Suite (Win) to CS5 Suite (Mac)

    Over the last few days I have twice called Adobe UK sales and have been assured that I can easily upgrade my Windows CS2 suite to a Mac CS5 suite.
    I was told that all I have to do is enter the CS2 Windows serial number during the CS5 Mac installation and it will be accepted.
    However I have found no mention of this anywhere on the internet.
    Has anyone been given the same or conflicting advise by Adobe for this type of scenario?

    Adobe are even contracdicting themselves re CS5 upgrades.
    I was told by the UK sales team that I wouldn't need to submit a letter of software destruction upgrading from CS2 Windows to CS5 Mac.
    However, the Adobe on-line representative said I would.
    I can understand this requiurement for a straight platform swap of the same version.
    However, if I am upgrading, I surely need a valid suite to upgrade from?
    If I destroy my CS2 I will no longer have a valid suite any longer!
    I have also found out that PhotoShop Mac CS5 will apparently no longer have the ability to print printer profiling targets with colour management disabled. Supposedly Adobe labs are developing a separate utility for printing profiling targets but with no ETA. This means that I will have to continue to use an earlier version of PhotoShop anyway!
    With these uncertainties, contradictions and complications I have now cancelled my order.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. I Do Not want to Loose any photos or albums by deleting them from my phone and not backing them up correctly. My iCloud backup is only storing my "Photo Stream" and I can not locate them in iTunes after I sync/Back up.

    I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. My storage is almost full on my phone. There are only 80 mg available. I am new to icloud and also have always had trouble navigating around iTunes. (Even after endlessly reading through support and help topics as well as calling)   My concern is about Not Losing any of my photos if I delete them from my phone. I have to delete a large portion of my camera roll as well as the Album Folders I have created. Although it would be great if there was a way to just keep my albums still. I have already backed them up to an external hard-drive, my computer and a geek stick. I'm not trying to be too paranoid about these photos, but, they are all of my 3 children. There are over 4000 pictures stored on my phone. Some photos go back as far as 2009.   Can you offer any information about backing up my Camera Roll, not just "Photo Stream", and albums I've created On my phone? I read that it's good to back photos up on both iTunes as well as icloud. I even purchased extra icloud storage to back them all up.   I do regularly back up/sync, my phone to my computers.   However, I cannot even locate where they are stored on iTunes, let alone look at them. And as far as my iCloud backup, it only stores the new pictures from "Photo Stream".   Please offer any advice you may have. I do not use up a lot of storage on my phone other than Photos and Contacts (it's a work phone).   I would definitely be able to sleep better knowing my children can one day see these pictures of themselves. I appreciate your time. Thank you,

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Upgraded from ios4 to ios 6 and lost all apps i had downloaded and some photos?

    I upgraded an ipad2 from ios4 to ios 6 and once all was done, all my apps, purchased and free ones were gone - and some of my pictures.  Any idea? I do not dare doing another "resore backup" ...   Any help?

    A few comments:
    You will eventually be able to retrieve all your apps.  You will be able to go to the App Store on your iPad, click "Updates" in the lower right, click "Purchased" and re-download them from there (but be careful - download them one at a time).
    It sounds like the reason the photos and apps did not appear is you may have run out of memory on the iPad.  The new iOS offers more features, and is somewhat bigger than the old.  Check Settings > General > Usage and see how much space you have left and what the big space consumers are.  You should do housekeeping to get an absolute minimum of 10% of the space on your iPad free.  For example, if you have a 16GB iPad, you would need absolutely no less than 1.6GB free.
    You said "I do not dare doing another restore ...".  On the contrary, you should update your iOS at every opportunity to avoid these giant updates such as you just did.  You went from iOS 4 to 6, which means it's been over a year and a half since your last update.  If you did them more frequently, they would be less dramatic.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade from store on win-8 hangs at "preparing to restart" 98%

    Hi,
    I tried to upgrade win-8.1 Pro from store and it run more than 12 hrs and does not move after 98% "Preparing to restart".

    why
    Tks

    Hi，
    By analyzing the error log, operating system did not have correct privileges to perform the upgrade. 
    Did your computer join the domain?
    If your computer joined the domain,we suggested you to remove the machine from Domain and move it to a workgroup
    Did you have multi-bootable partitions? If yes, mark your Windows partition as "Active". 
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mark-partition-active#1TC=windows-7
    If the issue persists,Run CMD as Administrator, type following command：
    Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth 
    Also, find the following location,and update the ownership of this directory to the Administrators group and granted Administrators Full Control to the directory.
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
