IPhone :: Accidentally Deleting Old Itunes Library?
Jul 4, 2012
Recently, after backing up my music into a exernal hard disk to clear up some memory from my Mac, I deleted my music folder on my Mac and in the process, accidentally deleting my old iTunes library (Itunes library.itl), which was the one my iPhone was synced to. Furthermore, I even emptied my trash (stupidly) so I don't think I'll be able to recover the old library. Now, I'm unable to transfer any new songs from my new iTunes library to my iPhone (I used to be able to simply drag it into my Music folder when my iPhone was synced but now it just bouces off). I've heard on other platforms that an iPhone can only be synced to one iTunes library at one time so does anyone know how one might sync my iPhone to the new iTunes library? I've tried researching but I think I need some specific advice since nothing seems to work.

iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

it is possible to transfer your music library from a 1st gen Ipod touch to your itunes library on a Mac book pro. I have alomost 3000 songs as well as playlists on my Ipod and cant find anyway to transfer theses to my itunes library, meaning i can't add them to my 4s.

I am trying to delete the music off my iPhone. I have gone onto my Usage settings and tried to delete them that way, however it says there is no data. I have then plugged it into my PC and again it says no data, however when I go onto my library on the phone itself, it has around 700 songs, all greyed out with either the iCloud symbol or a sign which means they're downloading, however this sign has been there for months now and nothing is yet to download, how do I clear this and start again?!

I tried to clear out the photo library by syncing to iTunes, deselecting Sync Photos (and hit Apply). After that, it tells me I still have over 2500 photos on my phone.
When I go to Manage My Storage in Settings on my phone, it tells me the following:
Photo Library 4.9 GB
Synced from iTunes Library 1 MB
My Photo Stream 1.1 GB
Shared Photo Stream 54.2 MB
I don't understand what is in the Photo Library? I have 49 photos on my Camera Roll.Â

I have a question regarding the music app on my iPhone 4S. When you slide to the right over a song, you get the option to delete it. If you press delete, does it delete it from your library on your computer or just on the iPhone.

i am stuck in a tricky situation and would things first i know this is quite a frequently asked question as i have done a bit of searching on the net about it however could not not find anything that totaly matches myproblem, i have recently purchased a brand new laptop which runs windows 7 compared to my old desktop which ran XP, i have tried syncing all of my iphone 4s contents onto my new laptop's itunes library including everything not just music or videos and i got the infamous pop up "The iphone is synced with another Itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this Itunes library" the problem is that my original itunes library does not exist no more as my desktop was completly wiped and had XP redownloaded onto it again because it had a virus, which also wiped all of my hard drive so i cant even get everything i backed up off of my phone from it, i have managed to sign in to the itunes store and allowed my laptop to work with itunes,i have also transferred my purchases from my phone to my new itunes library but this only includes my apps and obviously not my contacts and photos and everything, i still get the pop up if i go to sync my apps from my library anyway, is there any way i can delete my original itunes library without it even existing anymore so that i can just start afresh and sync everything i have on my phone now directly to my new itunes library? or do i need to purchase this iphone rip/backup/store software that everyone goes on about or something? to be honest its really annoying my now as i just want to be able to sync everything like how i used to,

The hard drive of my computer recently died and with all my itune music library as well as my custom ringtones with it. I have now recreate all my custom ringtones and put them into a folder call Tones on my desktop. However, I cannot add the folder back into the itune library even after going through the itune add folder function on itune 10.6. Is this a known problem for the itune 10.6? The old itune on my dead hard drive has a folder called tones under the library. The itune 10.6 does not have that folder.

In order to free up space on my IMac, I have moved all my itunes music to a portable hard drive. I ended up deleting the itunes library folder at the same time and consequently changed my defaulted itunes to the library folder within the hard-drive (which is attached to the computer at all times).
When launching itunes from the icon on the desktop, it launches the itunes within the hard-drive.
My issue now, is that I cannot transfer any of the music purchased in my i-phone to my i-tunes as it states the phone is synced to another library.
Is asks whether I want to sync it to the new one but I gather I will lose everything currently on my phone?
First, if I do proceed to sync it will it from now on sync to this itunes library and is there any way I can attempt to save the stuff already on it? Including music I've purchased from the i-tunes store and all my contacts?

iPhone 4

I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.1 recently, and reinstalled OS X this weekend, and now that I'm trying to back up the content of my iPhone on my Mac, I can't seem to find the music and photos (among other things) that are supposed to have been saved from the iPhone onto my computer. The iTunes library is empty. What should I do to actually back up the content of my iPhone. Has never happened before...

My old PC died and I'm trying synch my Iphone to a PC that I haven't backed up to in many months and the contents of the the two don't match. My Iphone has everything I want on it. The PC wants to replace everything with its old backup when I turn on synch apps and music? Would like it if Itunes would treat this like a new phone and just back everything up, is there a way to get it to do this?

i am in the process of moving to a new Mac (from an older Mac). Due to some corruption (i think) issues in the old iTunes Library, I have re-created iTunes from scratch on the new computer. iTunes on the new computer has been authorized and I re-downloaded clean new versions of ALL previously purchased Apps, Books, Movies and TV Shows from the iTunes store. I am using iCloud Match to only selectively download past purchased Music. I have also moved ALL personal non-iStore content (PDF Books, Movies, TV Shows and Ringtones) to the iTunes Library on the new Mac. So as it sits now, ALL iTunes content that was on my previous Mac now exists on the new Mac in a pristine folder structure managed by a pristine iTunes Library.
Since I did not transfer the old iTunes Library FILE to the new Mac, is it possible to plug in the iPhone and resume "business-as-usual" without any wiping or transfering taking place? Are there sections of the OLD iTunes Library XML that can be pasted into the new (clean) one to make the iPhone think this is just the same old computer? For further information, the iPhone is TOTALLY integrated into iCloud (syncing, backup, match, etc.).

I recently lost my photos, and reloaded a backup through iTunes to iPhone, but the quality is terrible in the albums and events, only camera roll is fine. I still have good photos on my iPad but I dare not plug it in to iTunes in case the photos get wiped. How can I rebuild the mac iPhoto library from my iPad?

My iTunes library is perfect with all artworks for every album and songs. Since not long ago, on my iPhone 4 I started to miss some of the artwork on my phone. The artwork is in iTunes all good but it won't transfer over the phone or ipad.
What I tried to solve my problem so far:
-Soft reset the iPhone
-Hard reset the iPhone (holding power and home button)
-Restore the iPhone from backup
-Change the artwork in iTunes for a new one (Refresh it)
-Try to paste an artwork on the iPhone via iTunes in the devise section using command I on all the album.
-Look for third party software like Tuneup to get the artwork.
