My itunes library is empty on my new computer, but I have a full library on my ipod. How do I "reverse" sync? I don't see an option in itunes to put all the info from my ipod onto my computer. I see it the other way, which would then erase all the data on my ipod. Help!!
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then try syncing your iPod.
If that doesn't help click here. iPod touch sync support -
I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

why wont it let me do anthing else?
Hello
That is interesting, you should see different tabs like in the picture below for syncing content.
If you do not, then you will want to back up your iPhone, either through iTunes or iCloud, and restore it and then try the sync again. If you are still running into issues, let me know and I can try to assist you further.

When i plug iphone 4 into computer Itunes stalls
Every time I go to try to put music or apps from my mac to my iPhone4 itunes doesn't work. It'll get a bar on the top saying "backing up iPhone" but it never backs it up. Every time i try to click on something the rainbow waiting mouse comes up and iTunes stops working. So now I am unable to get any of my music or apps on to my iPhone. What do i do?
Welcome to the discussions,
if you have any photos stored on it, copy them to your Mac and delete them on the phone afterwards before you sync, maybe some of them can't be read.
If this does not solve your problem, copy your backup folder, located here ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ , to a save place, delete the backup in iTunes/settings/devices and try again. -
sometimes when i put a new cd into my itunes libray all the songs do not end up under the same icon. sometimes it will go into the library under 3 or 4 different icons (album artwork) and sometimes if there are for example 12 songs on the cd each song goes under a separate icon.this seams to happen more frequently with cd's that have different artists on one disc and not just one artist performing all the songs.
is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
is there a way to go into my library and get them put back under one icon as it should have been? i have tried drag and drop and it will not work.
thanks to anyone that can offer some helpThe sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Again, I went through the "fixes" recommended, but none of them have worked. Please help! I can't get any of my new music that I just bought onto my Ipod! It fails at the last second with that 13019 error code even after removing all the music and re-syncing. Thanks.
Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod! I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs! I'm freaking!

Hey Hey!

I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space.
Thanks!Deborah,
You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes. The syncing process is only one way. However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder. From there you can copy them back over to your PC.
Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

I would like to know if it is possible to change my ipod touch screen.
Yes. If you want to do it yourself, there are several retailers who offer replacement parts and step-by-step guides on how to swap out the display. One such place is http://www.ifixit.com/.
You can also choose to do an out of warranty exchange with Apple for the prices show on this page. They don't actually repair the iPod though, but instead swap out your iPod for a refurbished one of the same capacity and generation.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Lastly, you can choose a third party service center who can replace the screen for you. Google for "iPod Touch screen repair" for a number of results.

WWifi exclamation mark had suddenly appeared on my imac. I have rebooted imac and router
When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, first turn Wi-Fi off and back on. If it still fails to connect, then from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.
