Will syncing old 3GS to iTunes alter my iphone 4?
I have a 3GS that I'd like to use as an ipod. I currently have a 4 that I use for my phone. If I sync the 3GS with itunes, will it affect my 4? I'm talking about apps, music photos, ect.
It should have noted that the backup was complete on the backup page. Try rebooting your computer and try it again.

After setting up my new 4S, restoring a backup of my old 3GS, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and then I've changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then after that safely backup my NEW 4S - which now holds all my company information and stuff - to iCloud without risking to lose it?
Hi Mcchen425,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a precaution, I would suggest backing up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes as well as iCloud. Then you can delete one of your two backups. The article below will explain all of your options for deleting data or backups from your iCloud storage.

I just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone
Please help me i just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone
I thought I resolved it, but the problem came back! And this time, re-starting Muse didn't help.
I was creating a vertical line to separate the sidebar from the main area, and when I extended the line down to where the footer guide is, the page started to expand and the navigation bar at the top started growing, while the links disappeared again. Now all links from the master page are again missing from every page but the master.
When I undid it, the navbar went back to its normal depth, but the text links in it did not return.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Also, it really wasn't my intention for the navigation bar to grow vertically as the page grows. Is there a way to prevent that? -
I am unable to sync my music in iTunes to my iPhone 4S. The Sync button is disabled. Does anyone know the solution to this? Thanks.
It may seem simple, but restart both devices.
on the iPhone hold the sleep and home button until the phone rests (soft reset), then restart the iTunes app. Then plug the phone back in then sync again. -
Syncing old ipad to itunes account
My father just gave my son his old ipad and I am trying to sync it to my itunes account. It keeps referring back to my father's account. Help!
Ideally, you would simply restore a backup of your old (broken) computer to your new computer, and pick right up where you left off before your computer broke.
Failing that approach, here are some tips:

I use the "Tripit" travel app on both my iPhone and iPad2. While I have no problem getting my Tripit info synced to the Gmail Calendar on my iPhone, I am unable to get Tripit to sync to the Gmail calendar on my iPad, even though the setup information (email address, settings, etc.) are exactly the same. I know that Tripit is installed correctly on the iPad, as I am able to go to that app directly and correctly see all of my info. However, even though I've set up the secondary "Tripit" calendar feed (to Gamil) on the iPad, it's not synchronizing and showing up. Is anyone else having this problem?
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone
Hey there,
I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists, Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
What happens when syncing? Any error message provided? -
Problem with syncing old purchases from itunes
i purcheased three videos from i-tunes, not to long ago but they were put on my 5th gen i-pod video, i just got and i-phone and didn't know that they couldn't be synced to two computers because my i-pod is hooked up on my old computer, while my i-phone is hooked up to my laptop, but i thought at least i should still beable to get my purchases, but i've logged onto itunes and tried the transfer purchases option from itunes but nothing happen and i don't see any other way of getting the videos, i even tried reordering the videos but it says my credit cardwill be charged, i don't want to pay double does anyone have any solutions??????
Hey ls4evr,
The iPhone can only sync with one music library, but you can transfer the purchased music to the other computer using your iPod.
This article provides more information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.4/en/15488.html
Just put the videos on the iPod and then attach the iPod to the new computer, then transfer purchases.

Unable to sync old data in Itunes
I have a 3g phone activated and everything work, yet I am unable to sync it in iTunes. I am trying to sync it with all my old iPhone data and I keep getting an error message that says that there is a problem with my phone and I need to contact Apple. Anyone with a simialr message on a working 3g phone?
I am also unable to sync my iPod classic to iTunes 8.0.2.20 (my Apple TV would sync just fine). I read on other threads that there is an issue related to DRM. I deauthorized my computer, and the sync completed fine (minus the DRM songs of course). Apple has an issue to fix

It asks me over and over to authorize. I do it, then it says it's authorized, then it asks again.
How do I stop the cycle?Did yo already try the suggestions mentioned in this article?
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases -
I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod. I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone. Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store. They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone. What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?
This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Why won't my new iPad sync thru wifi with iTunes? My iPhone 4S has no issues.
Please help? I have set iTunes to allow sync via wifi?? I'm stuck
I find WiFi syncing can be a bit flakey and unreliable at times. I have my own issues at times, but usually, restarting everything will allow me to sync over WiFi again..
Have you tried rebooting your iPad - not while you are connected to the computer with the cable. Unplug the iPad before you reboot.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Try again after you reboot. You may still have to sync with the cable one more time in order to try to set up WiFi syncing again. -
How do I fix the below sync issue between iPhoto, iTunes, my iPad2/iPhones
I am having this issue with iPhoto'11. I had the issue at one point in iPhoto '09 but eventually I fixed it but I don't know how. I was told it's a problem with my iPhoto library.
Here's the problem: When syncing with either my iPad2/iPhone4/iPhone3GS it tells me not all photos were were synced to my devices because there is not enough space, even though there clearly is enough space. I don't think it happens with my AppleTV2 but maybe that's because it's streaming, not syncing, to my ATV2.
Any thoughts on how to fix? I'm also seeing that only the places and albums icons are included within the photo app on each device. Do I need to somehow repair my iPhoto library?Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1 and #6.

I was talking to the Apple support and they said to join a chat. I am trying to sync my iPhone 4s iOS7 to my friend's library but the sync says its goes through (it goes through the six steps of syncing) but none of the songs go onto my iPhone. I put the sidebar on iTunes up and dragged the Music bar onto the bar that says Katie's iPhone. I then clicked down on the drop down for music under Katie's iPhone and the list of songs came up with dotted gray circles next to them. The circles are not filling up so the songs are not downloading on to my phone. Please help me download these songs onto my phone. Thank you
