Why will music that previously synced with phone no longer sync, stating not compatible?
Why would music that previously synced to my iPhone no longer sync, stating not compatible. Had a 4s, 64 GB, that was almost filled to capacity, so when I first got this message I though maybe that had something to do with it. However, I now have the iPhone 6, 128 GB, and get the same message. This involves some music that synced to my 4s for 2 to 3 years, and 2 CDs that I downloaded onto my MacBook Pro and into my ITunes library that had also synced previously with no problem. There may be other music involved also. Haven't fully investigated the extent of what is not syncing.
Thank you for your reply,
I checked the songs, they work. The computer was authorized.
Here is another interesting thing, I went to my old computer, and everything syncs (but the library on that comp is old).
I just don't understand why the music won't transfer (because all the other info transfers just fine)
In the phone menu I have everything checked off properly such as (sync all music and playlists).
Hmm. Any other suggestions?

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?
Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

I recently got a new laptop, it has no music on it and I have been plugging my iPod in and listening to music that way. Tonight it decided to sync with my iTunes and deleted all of my music. Is there any way I can get my music back?

My itunes says that my ipod is synced with another library when it is not and cannot update or sync without wiping it and all its data
Can anyone help meSyncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
All media content will be erased during the first sync, but you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
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 -
I purchased am Iphone 4S from ebay. Sellers daughter restored Iphone but didnt remove password. He sent me the password but after entering it a few times after I had already previous tried passwords before I reached him now I have reached the disabled screen and now have the correct password but am unabke to use it due to disabled screen. It is not synced with my Itunes so I am not able to go that route. If anyone else has any other suggestions please lead me.
If you get locked out of your phone with an incorrect passcode, then the only way is to do a restore and for that you need to connect it to iTunes and that is it. No other way to go.

I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer. The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?
To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
... The PC she synced with is dead
The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync version.
I've tried unregistering the device sync accounts, removing the accounts, reinstalling FF on all devices, etc.
Nothing works. Please help.Hi mongoose00318,
On the android devices in the Account section of your OS settings, please make sure that the account is not listed under "Firefox Sync (deprecated)" this is the old sync. Firefox for Android may need to be reinstalled and the Firefox Sync (depricated) account removed from the device.
NOTE: DO NOT do this if there is data on the devices that have not obviously synced yet. An alternative is to visit accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged into the device on the new sync sign in page.
Does this help? -

When I run the setup.exe file on a Windows 2000 system it installs properly, but the same file run on a XP Professional system I get an error stating Fatal Error: Installation ended prematurely because of an error.
See here for more information on the specific installer I'm trying to use.
In fact I get this error for any stand alone executable I try to install on any XP machines. I am using LV 7.1. Is there a way to manually install eve
rything?
ThanksSure you can Install a lv application manually. just copy the exe-file,
support files in a folder. For the runtimeengine just copy the file
lvrte.dll in the folder of your application or in the windows system folder.
Hope that helps, Niko

If I update my iPhone to iOS 6 will it still sync with my iPad 1 which can not be upgraded?
If I update my iPhone4s to iOS 6 will it still sync with my iPad 1 which can not be upgraded to that iOS?
As there is no way to sync an iPad to an iPhone, your question is a bit confusing. You can sync both devices to iTunes or iCloud. That doesn't change.

Ignore. I figured it out:)

When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...
I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

I'm using numbers on my MacBook, do I need to get seperate app to sync with phone?
I'm using numbers on my MacBook, do I need to get seperate app to sync with phone? Or should it sync through iCloud.
Also does anyone know if numbers has a similar feature to auto sum on excel, where you can quickly add a row of numbers together?
Many thanksYou have to purchase Numbers for iOS devices separately.
To add a row of numbers select the range to add, then drag the quick functions from the left (lower) of the Numbers window to the destination cell: -
My new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes
my new ipad will not sync with itunes. the device does not show up in itunes. I am on a Windows system
Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded? If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized. With iTunes open, click on Store at the top. Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them. Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.
