Video purchase disappeared after sync

Hi,
I've downloaded Ice Age 4 from my ipad (from the itunes store) while on vacation. It worked all right until I sync'd my ipad with my imac. Then, the movie not only didn't transfer from the ipad to the imac but was deleted from the ipad. You can imagine the drama with the kids.
The weird thing is that I had purchased Madagascar at the same time and it's still there.
When I try to download everything available on my itunes account from my imac, the movie doesn't appear there either, while it is shown in my purchases.
Any idea ?
Thanks !

iphone will sync with only one computer at a time.

Songs and videos all disappear after sync

Since updating to the new OS, sometimes when I sync my iPod touch, all the music and videos disappear. I then have to restore and it take a long time as I have a 64GB touch and LOTS of music. It's irritating to go to listen to some music and the entire library is missing. Just started with the new OS. Any suggestions?

Mine just had this problem. I read one of the other discussions and they said it was most likely caused by Genius. Either way, I just added a song to my iPod that wasn't already on there and ta da! All music and vids were back!

I upgraded to 10.5.1 and all my music disappeared after syncing. How do I get it back?

i upgraded iTunes to 10.5.1 and all my music disappeared after syncing. How do I get it back?

I lost all my music, too - except for 3 pieces!? And I just upgraded, didn't choose sync'ing :-(((
Sure would like to get back my music, videos and playlists!
Most of it was my personal compositions/recordings, not bought at the iTunes store.

HT2513 one of my caledars disappeared after sync with iphone? where is it? How do I get it back?

one of my caledars disappeared after sync with iphone? where is it?

Generally your library will be in your music folder in an iTunes folder, more specifically a library.itl file. If it isn't there then for some reason it has disappeared and can be restored from the backup you make of your computer.

I can't open my purchased apps after sync to i tunes, help anyone?

i can't open my purchased apps after sync to i tunes, help anyone?

I have found a solution for my very special case with very same symptoms. I gave my iPhone 3GS to my son, created for him his own iCloud account (for backup and contact isolation) but used my App Store account, so that we pay only once for all those 190 applications. However, I was only able to install applications from my Mac, but not from "Purchased Apps", which showed blank screen or crashed.
Now I have tried to switch language to English (just for the case, probably was not necessary) and created another iCloud account (same Apple ID as I use for App Store) - I have switched only reminders on.
Now I'm able to see purchased apps, and I can install them. I have even changed the language back to Czech and then disabled reminders for that secondary iCloud account and finally deleted this account altogether. Still I can see purchased apps.
Between the steps that I did I have always closed the AppStore application from the task bar. Lets hope, it will survive restart. I hope the right Apple ID is now somewhere in the Keychain and marked for iCloud usage.

Purchased audiobooks disappeared after syncing with new MacBook Pro

I had my iPhone synced with a Windows laptop which got really slow and decided to replace it with a MacBook Pro. In between the last sync with the laptop and the first sync with the MacBook Pro I had bought a couple of audiobooks through the iTunes Store. After syncing the iPhone with the new Macbook everything was fine except the audiobooks which we gone. Originally I thought it would work as with the apps from the AppStore that I could download them again free of charge by just giving my apple ID and password. However this was not the case. Can someone please help me with this as losing these audiobooks would suppose a more considerable loss of money compared to just apps.
Thank you,
Arne

You should have transferred the purchases to your computer: File>Devices>transfer Purchases
At this point, all you can do is contact itunes support, explain your situation, and hope they grant a redownload.

Contact, Calendar and Notes Disappeared after Sync

Please help!
After sync Contacts, Calendar and Notes to pc (Outlook), all are disappeared in iPhone but can't find them too in the pc. Have opened Outlook to retrieve the data but still can't find there.
However pic, videos and apps are found both in iphone and pc after sync.
Million thanks for your great help!

Did you previously ever open Outlook on your computer before?
If not, you may have lost your information.
You could possibly restore your iPhone from a backup.
Check if there is one first.
You can do that by going to Edit-> Preferences in the iTunes program
From there, click on Devices, and you will see a list of backups that were created.
To possibly get your contacts back, you could restore from a back-up and attempt a sync again.

Music and Video Content Disappears After Transfer From itunes

Hi
I am experiencing a very strange issue so I hope someone can help or has at least experienced this themselves.
I have my iphone set up so I manually manage/sync music ans content. For the last 2 weeks everytime I transfer music and video to my iphone it disappears after I eject the device from itunes. When transferring the content this works as expected and I can see the tracks being transferred. If I then go into my music library while the iphone is still connected to my laptop I can see and play music on the iphone.
As soon as I eject the device (in the recommended way) my iphone music library shows no content what so ever it has vanished. If I then reconnect the iphone to itunes, on the iphone summary screen it seems to show there is content on the iphone as the GB capacity bar is filled up with whatever I have put on their but no content is visible on the iphone.
Interestingly if I download a podcast or music directly onto the iphone this stays on there.
This is driving me mental has anybody else experienced this and if so know how to fix it?
Thanks
Chris

I'm having the same issue and haven't found anything on how to fix it other than restoring my phone. Won't be doing that. Hopefully this bumps it back to the top and someone will have an answer.

Application disappeared after sync'ing iPhone to iTunes

I rarely sync my iPhone with iTunes. Tonight I plugged my phone in, and decided to sync apps with my mac b/c I had downloaded an app on my laptop that I wanted on the phone. I'm not sure what dialog I clicked on, but one of the 10 apps on my iPhone (which I purchased) wasn't synced to the Mac and has now disappeared from my iPhone.
It's a paid app, and so I don't know if I can simply download it again w/out being charged.
Ideas on what I should do?

Redownload it. There's no charge. See this kbase article:

Apps disappeared after sync

Hi,

Photos disappeared after sync

Situation:
I have synced my photos from my iphone to my macbook pro laptop. There are around 1500 photos. After syncing, iphoto asked me whether I want to delete the original from my iphone, that I select yes. After I clicked yes, iphoto went to not responding. So I quit iphoto.
However once I have reopened iphoto, the new photos that i have synced into iphoto disappeared. They were just not there. So I reconnect my iphone. And deselect 'hide photos which are already synced'. Than I have found just less than 400 pictures left.
Question:
How can I retrieve those 1100 photos? or where did those photos go?
Information:
iphone-4s and updated
iphoto 09
Laptop: Mac OS X version 10.6.8|2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo|4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Please help me, iphoto has never done this before, and I am trying my best not to panic.

If you don't have a backup to fall back on which is the best solution try the following (assuming your using iPhoto 9 [11]): apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) the process is the same, only the windows that come up are different.

Music and videos gets corrupted after syncing

I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. It first started when I was using an old laptop to sync my iPod touch 4th gen. Not just syncing, just transferring music and videos. But the videos get corrupted after transferring the file from the laptop to ipod. I thought it was the cable but as soon as used a faster laptop, the videos were transferred without any corruption issues. I reformattd the laptop as it might have some malware or other softwares interrupting the usb transfer but it still gets corrupted. So I thought, the communication between pc and the new ipod system might be too much for an old intel core duo @ 1.6ghz to handle.
Now, I am using a laptop with intel core 2 duo @ 2.0ghz. The corruption issue is now returning. The music can be played but when playing, it seems like it's jumping, stuttering or something. Please note that it can be played but it sounded like a bad interrupted download.
For the old laptop, the videos are usually the ones the gets corrupted. For the new laptop, it happened recently during a massive sync I performed. I wonder if there's a usb buffer thing that gets full.
Anyway, is there a way to prevent this or check which mp3s are corrupted? I have plan to copy all the mp3s using TouchCopy, then compare the mp3s to my source mp3 using BeyondCompare.

You can't copy music from a i device to a Mac computer. Only from a Mac computer to a i device. So you will have to copy over your iTunes library from your old computer to your new Mac.

Photos on iphone disappeared after sync

My photos on the iphone disapeared after sync. Still, more than 10 giga are marked "other" on my itunes sync window. I cannot restore or find them.
How do I fix this? I don't mind the photos, since they are all backed up on iphoto, but I would like to free those 10 GB of memory. Ideas, anyone?

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

Media disappears after syncing and a fix?

Twice I've found that my iPod media isn't on the iPhone after syncing. I found a fix on this board to try a soft reset. Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. This revealed my media but I lost my few settings. Not a big deal but when it happened again is was starting to be a nuisance. I had been using my iPod dock to sync. It gave the airport setting warning which I ignored and went ahead with the sync. I wonder if this is the reason for the problem. Another fix may be to take the iPod connector from the dock and connecting it directly into the iPhone. It's worked once already. Hopefully a real fix??

When the iPhone is connected, in the iTunes Summary page, there is a button marked Restore. What this does is completely erase the iPhone, download the latest iPhone software and reload the iPhone. In the process it erases all of your Settings and resets everything to as if you had just bought a brand new phone (although you don't have to repeat Activation, thank goodness).
This is a drastic solution but fixes most problems. See my post here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4929564#4929564 for information about what gets lost and preserved through a Restore.

Apps disappear after syncing with itunes

I have a problem. it only started after i bought my new iMac and migrated all my docs etc from my macbook using Migrate Assistance. when i download apps on my iphone, after i sync with itunes they just dissapear.
HELP please

I know I am late in posting to this discussion but I had to put my two cents in. I am having the exact same problem on my 3GS. I use a PC to connect to itunes and more often than not after syncing is complete all of my apps have gone out of the organized folders! I wouldn't complain if I only had 20-30 apps to deal with but I have 495! I have called Apple on this problem several times and they have continued to plea ignorance saying that they have never had anyone call in with this problem before! Obviously this is not the case by all of the people writing about the same thing! I hope that Apple will get with their programmers and figure out what the heck is going on...we deserve better than this! Mr. Jobs would not be so well-off without us so he needs to take better care of his customers! Well, I FINALLY talked to someone that seemed to have a solution to my problem! I thought that you only needed to organize your apps into folders on the actual phone...nobody had asked me before if I had organized them directly on itunes. I am in the process of doing this now and I hoping beyond hope that by doing this my folders stay organized! Although, there was one time when I was just sitting at my desk and my folders all became disorganized when it wasn't even plugged into any computer or being charged with a wall outlet! We will have to wait and see!
