What do you do when you try and sync your phone and it says you are synced with another computer and u are not?

I am having trouble syncing ringtones and movies

If it says you are synced with another computer, you are synced with another computer. The only alternative is you have wiped and reloaded the computer that you normally sync with, essentially making it a new computer.

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine

When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine.

SMART is a technology that monitors the drive for signs of impending failure. You can verify that SMART is indicating a problem in Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and look at the bottom of the window. It should look like this:
If the SMART status is not "Verified" then you should back up your drive and start shopping for a new one.

My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year. Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one. How can I correct this?

Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted. I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad. How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

When I get on my ipod and press the app "text free" I can text, but when I try to call I get something that says "Still connecting to the voice network and to try later. This has been there for days and my daughters can call on theirs.

What does it mean when you try to call from your ipod touch and you get a response that says, "Still connecting to voice network...try later?" I have tried updating and still nothing happens. I am using the text free app and my daughters are able to call from theirs...help

Sounds like a Text Free issue. Contact their support.

When i try to play Music or a video the volume comes up with full bars and a stop sign, how do i get back my volume?

When i try to play a music or video or anything the volume bars come up full but with a stop sign underneath, i don't know how to get back my sound.

The way that usually works best is to move the entire iTunes folder folder from the current location to X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of the external drive.
If you moved the iTunes Media folder "by hand" instead of using iTunes to relocate the media folder then:
Move the main iTunes folder to X:\iTunes
Move iTunes Media inside it as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
Press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes
Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
(If iTunes opens normally/with an empty library close it and go back to step 3)
Click choose and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
If you still have a problem try my script FindTracks.

When I plug in my iPhone to my mac it doesn't sync the music and when I try to sync the music is says that it is with another library and will delete all the songs on my phone to put the ones from my computer on it.

Whenever I try to sync my phone with my computer it won't automatically sync my new music from my computer to my phone. When i select it to sync it says that it is going to delete all the music off my phone because its already with another device (or something along those lines) but I use my itunes from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how I can fix this so it will sync. Will all the songs on my phone be on my computer so it won't matter if it deletes them off of my phone?

This is Linda again. The new iPad actually as not restored on my employees computer. I thought it was working. Message said the device is in recovery mode and can not be restored. I have been at the Apple store for a total of 6 hours and on the phone with support for at least 4 hours. And now the replacement has crashed??? Has this happened to any one else?

Well, you downloaded a bootleg copy of iOS 7 beta and have installed it on your phone without being a developer. It has bricked your phone and you cannot get help here because doing what you did has voided your warranty. Have a nice day.

I had to replace my hard drive and when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another computer, and asks to erase all my data. Help!

I had to replace my hard drive and now when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another library

That is because the iPad can only "sync" to one iTunes library at a time. You can move all of the iPad contents into a new iTunes library. This discussion will give you a lot of useful information.

This one is Mac specific - not that it is any different except for the iTunes menu.

Remember to authorize the computer in iTunes first - From the iTunes menu go to Store>Authorize this computer.

My ipod says it's synced with another computer and will erase my ipod, i dont want my ipod to be erased

My hard drive went out and had to be replaced. I coundnt back-up anything before it happened becuase i was having so many issues with my computer. So i plugged my ipod into my computer and Itunes tells me-
the ipod "my ipods name" is synced with another library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync. My ipod has only been plugged into this computer. I dont have anything from my ipod saved and I sepnt a TON of money on the music, apps, and videos on my Ipod. I dont want to lose all of the stuff on my ipod but i need to sync it. Is there any way i can get everything off my ipod and onto my computer without using Itunes? then i could transfer them to Itunes.

Try this:
Right clicking on your ipod in the device list an d choosing "transfer purchases" will copy apps and bought media from iTunes to your computer. Due to the new iTunes library on your new HD, iTunes will erase your ipod during the first sync. To save your data to the computer take a look at this article about saving data from your device to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Basically it's backing up manually, transferring her purchases (apps and bought music), letting iTunes erase the ipod due to the new iTunes library, and restoring from the manual backup again, to get all the data and settings back.
Make sure your new computer account is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

When I try to install Windows 7 it keeps saying I have to remove my disk and restart but it never lets me. What do I do?

It doesn't appear that there is an easy way to make iMovie for iOS to display an entire portrait photo without zooming in. I found a little workaround, however...open the portrait photo in the Photos app, put your device in landscape orientation (so that there are black bars on the sides) and take a screenshot. The new image in your camera roll will now have black bars on all 4 sides of the photo, and if you import the photo into an iMovie project, you will see that it will zoom the top and bottom black bars out so that it perfectly displays the entire portrait photo.

What do you do when you try and sync your phone and it says you are synced with another computer and u are not?
