US iPhone Canada iTunes
I just got my Verizon iPhone 4S and I have a question. Currently I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account setup on my Telus iPhone 4. But I will be moving down to the US at the end of the month, hence the Verizon iPhone 4S. Questions:
1. Do I need to setup an US iTunes Account or will my Canadian iTunes Account work on my Verizon iPhone? (I would prefer to because there are certian apps you cant get in Canada)
2. If I setup a US iTunes account is there some way I can get all my songs /apps that I have paid for on my Canadian iTunes account over to the US account or at least be able to load them on the phone?
Thanks
If I have an US iTunes account (with a valid US credit card), live in Canada, and purchase the iPhone in Canada, would I have issues activating my iPhone?
They will activate it at the store when you buy it and sign a three year contract. The iPhone will be locked to Rogers or Fido.
Reason I ask is that I have heard some people say that you have to activate your iPhone using your existing countries iTunes account. What would happen if I don't?
iPhone activation and software updates shouldn't care whether you have any iTunes account. A US iTunes account will let you get US iPhone apps. At the bottom of the main iTunes Store window, you can select Canada, and create a Canadian account for other apps. One iPhone can use apps from multiple store, but some US apps (such as those that play US radio stations) may not work when you are in Canada (and will be very expensive to use if you are roaming in the US).

Can no longer see iPhone in iTunes on Mac at home
I wonder if you can help? We have 2 iPhones & a Nano all connected to iMac at home & to date syncing happily. I have recently downloaded iTunes to windows PC at work so I can sync iPhone calender with work Outlook calendar. I have managed this successfully syncing my phone at both home & work. This week however my work PC seemed to be having probs seeing my phone. I eventually got them "talking" but during the process the work PC had a pop up saying something about not having the apps in iTunes and did I want them copied. I was given two options, one to transfer & the other not to transfer however it said if I did not transfer the apps would be deleted from my phone(!) I therefore chose the transfer option but it started deleting apps during the sync process anyway. I immediately unplugged the phone but since then I can no longer even see my iPhone in iTunes on my home based iMac (where the back up is!). I have followed the help suggestions (reboot iMac, phone etc) but with no luck. Apologies if this is unclear, I am a bit technically challenged and so really have no idea what I have done/am doing. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation.
Thanks a lot! After I sent the above post, I tried that. It worked a little. Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up. I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem. They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again. It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible. iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was. I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it!

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(
The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!
OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this. -
How do you get voice memos from iphone onto itunes with MANUAL sync?
Ok, the iphone voice record function... I can't get the voice memos onto itunes or my computer. I don't use the autosync function, I like to manage my music and such manually.
I cannot find a way to manually access the voice memos on my iphone through itunes. Many of them are too large to email so I'm stuck.
The only option seems to be auto-sync, and if I do turn on the sync function at this point, itunes will completely erase my iphone and the voice memos I've recorded on it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Any tips?
I've looked at a lot of posts and haven't found anything to help here. Just a bunch of posts complaining about how bad the voice recorder feature is integrated into the new iphone 3.0 software.
i'm using a 32gb 3gs.Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'm not quite sure if there is a solution to this.
I have the same desire as OP, but yet I do not see my voice memos automatically syncing when I have manual sync selected. I also do not see a playlist folder or anything that indicates voice memos have transferred. Am I missing something? Is there no way to get voice memos onto the computer without having to autosync it?
If someone can provide more details on how to do this, that'd be great. But it seems at this point that I cannot get voice memos onto my computer through iTunes with manual sync on. -
Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?
You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem. -

I recently purchased a macbook pro because my old macbook crashed. I was unable to back up my itunes on my old computer before it crashed. Is there anyway of transferring my old itunes library that is on my iphone (especially music that I did not purchase on my iphone and applications I did not purchase on my iphone) from my iphone to itunes without loosing everything?
iphone will sync with ONE computer at a time.
When you sync to another, it will first erase the pics and itunes content, then replace with content from the new computer.
Backup is not something you do when your computer is failing. You should always maintain a backup as computer do not always announce their pending failure.
You can transfer itunes purchases:

The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.
Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself. -

I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8. I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so for my new iPhone 5S. Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel. What do I do? How do I move music and pics? And keep them synced up as I purchase more?
Sorry, but that is correct. You need Snow Leopard to sync your phone and the latest version of iTunes and you old G5 cannot run that.

My dad got this iPhone for me a few months ago as a gift since I had a really awful phone before. The only thing is, I can't seem to upgrade it to the latest software without it telling me it's already updated to iOS 4 or something like that. (I would be able to give you the exact iOS version, but ever since connecting my iPhone to iTunes, my phone isn't responding so I can't check the settings or anything.) I can't download any apps (I get an error message saying the software on my phone is too old) and so I pretty much am extremely limited to what I can do on this phone. I'm very frustrated at this point and incredibly displeased with Apple's products.
If someone could please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks.What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
We recently got a new iMac.
Synching has been a bit of a challenge. We also recently upgraded to include CLOUD / Match service.
Now, when I synch my iPHone to iTunes, the music section does not allow me to download certain songs / artists / albums / playlists DIRECTLY to my iPHone. I would prefer to have the music resident on the phone vs relying on wifi or my cellular coverage.jeffandmerz wrote:

Right. That's you signed up for iTunes Match.
I would prefer to have the music resident on the phone vs relying on wifi or my cellular coverage.
You can do either or both.
Download the songs to the iPhone when on wifi (to avoid using all your cell data) adn they will be resident ont he phone.
Or simply stream them when you want and not download them.
You can create playlists in iTunes on your computer. These will get transferred to the iPhone via iTunes Match.
Then select these playlists on the iPhone to download them to the iPhone. -
Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
Has anyone else found a solution?
Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 -
I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!
I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer
