Will I also get virus on my iPhone if I sync it with a computer with virus
I am disinclined to test the sync application of my iPhone and iTunes for the reason that I knew my laptop contains viruses. If I sync my iPhone to my laptop for the first time will my iPhone also can be affected with virus? Thanks in advance for those who can help me. =) May I request that at least you can share thoughts that has less technical terms. =P Thank you very much!
It's not very likely. Viruses have to be designed for specific operating systems. Your computer's operating system is Windows (I'm assuming) and your phone runs on iOS, a completely different system, so anything that affects windows will not be able to transfer to iOS.
Now if the music files you ahve on your computer are corrupted in some way they may not transfer or play properly on the iphone, but even if that has some effect other than making the songs not play, that shouldn't do any damage that taking the music off the phone won't fix.

HT3951 Will all info be wiped from my iPhone if I sync it with a new computer?
Will all info be wiped from my iPhone if I sync it with a new computer?
Yes, the dialog box that will appear gives you several options, one of which is "erase and sync". It will do what it says, in that order. If the iTunes Library on the new computer is empty, after you sync your iPhone it will also be empty.
The way to transfer your iTunes Library and everything on it is from the old computer to the new computer. Read about it here:

If i purchase iPhoto 11 for maverick will it also be available on my iPhone?
If I purchase the latest version of iPhoto for my Mac will it also be available to my iPhone 4s and 5c or is that a separate purchase everything is connected on iCloud.
The iOS version is a separate product, and if needed, purchase; the developers need to create and maintain them separately and may choose to charge for both.

When I try to sync my iPhone, I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.
The iPhone won't sync anymore. How can I fix this?This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.
The first solution posted above works, i'll repeat it but credit goes to King_Penguin a true friend from the motherland! Just find this one file and delete it.

During itunes sync i get an error message "iphone cannot be synced. the required file cannot be found." Why is this happening?
Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
if that doesn't work,
uninstall itunes and download the lastest version -

I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded. -
(Mavericks) iTunes keeps crashing on sync "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
I updated my MacBook Air to Mavericks yesterday. When attempting to sync my iPad2 and iPhone4 this morning, iTunes keeps crashing on me.
There seems to be some issues with what it thinks my computer name or my Apple ID is. It keeps referring to them as %1$S
Check out this screenshot on the device Summary page of iTunes, It may be hard to make out the text since the image was resized upon uploading it:
The the top circled item reads "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
The second circled item is the incorrectly sized Check for updates button
The thrid circled item (left) are my Apple ID name and computer name, both referred to as %1$S
The fourth circled item (right) is the text "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "%1$S".
Is anyone else having these issues after upgrading to Mavericks? Any resolution?Nevermind, found that there is also an update that Itunes needed this morning to be compatible with Mavericks. After updating all is fine.
Not sure why iTunes update required for Mavericks was not included in Mavericks, but whatever. Hope this helps anyone else who had this issue. -
Help please? I dont understand how to get my purchased music to download or sync to my HP computer.
Hey CrystalKean,
Thanks for the question. If you have purchased content on your iPhone that has not yet been transferred to your computer, see the following article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Alternatively, you can download previous purchases from the iTunes Store with the steps outlined in this article:
