IPhone :: Sync To New Library: Retain Apps, Etc?
May 21, 2012
I used to have multiple iTunes libraries that I eventually condensed into one, and I somehow cross-synced my iPhone and now it won't sync with any of them. (I get the "this iPhone is synced to another library, would you like to erare the contents and sync with this library" message.) I've tried the trick of copy/pasting the Persistent Library ID, but that doesn't seem to work (unless I'm doing it wrong). I'm A-OK with wiping all the music from the iPhone and loading it all again (if anything I'd prefer to do that now that I've unified my music libraries into one) and all of my contact and calendar items are properly synced with my main laptop. What I'm worried about are the other things on the iPhone (apps, photos, notes, recorded memos, etc.). Especially the apps. If I let iTunes wipe the phone to sync with my new library, will I retain those other items? Or will it wipe everything and I'll lose any apps that I've bought, photos stored on the phone, notes, etc.?

My computer is authorized, I have an iTouch that synchs my entire song library, but my iPhone will not synch my iTunes library. I've even gone as far to reset my iPhone two separate times and it still will not synch.

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?

The laptop I had my iTunes on recently quit on me. I created a new user account on a desktop and proceeded to log into my iTune account. When I plugged in my phone it told me to "removed and erase" to sync the computer with my phone. I figured it would add all the music to the library on the computer. I agreed and all the music from my phone went in the library, however it was all removed from my phone. I tried to sync it up, and when I try it tells me there's nothing in my library to snyc except a recently added CD. Now I have no music on my phone, and only 2 GB of the 19 GB I had on my previous library.

I had been having a problem with my iPhone4s and Itunes communicating. Every time I attached my iPhone iTunes would report an error that the Library could not be updated. I followed instructions on how to more the .XML file, restart iTunes then reimport the library. The problem is that now NONE of the Apps I had are there, and if I attach my iPhone it wants to delete the apps on the phone and replace it with the ones in the iTunes Library, which at this point is only two! How do I get the apps on my iPhone BACK into my iTunes library!

I've just spent 2 hours before work last night, and another 3 since getting back, trying to figure out why iPhone 3G syncs kept dropping my Skype and Shazam apps.Performed 3 full time-consuming restores.Then every other bit of online advice I could find.Clicking "reset warnings" finally revealed this ( image included )I had always trusted iTunes to
Then a chat with a Skype agent reveals they don't support older versions or my 3G phone without iSO.4 Are ALL companies so out of touch with those struggling in the economic realities since 2008 ?!Apple, Skype, etc don't forget to update every blessed time we innovate relentlessly

I recently bought a new computer and when i plug my ihpone in it says its syncing but it doesnt update the library on my phone with all the new purchases ive made on itunes. My ipod nano works fine. I have authorized my new computer.
On another topic I am also extremly confused and irritated by this new update for ihpone 4's. Why is it that the update will delete ALL my files off my phone. Songs, videos, conttacts apps. Things I have spent hundreds possibly of dollars and ALOT of time over the years accumulating.

My wife's iphone was tied to a laptop iTunes library. The laptop's hard drive died some time ago, and she has since refused to update the iOS version or sync the phone with another computer, for fear of losing access to the considerable amount of non-iTunes MP3s that were formerly on her laptop, and are now only stored on her iPhone.
So my question is twofold:
1) Can I update the iOS for her without syncing the itunes library on the phone? She is currently running iOS 3.1.3 (7E18). If I can update it, how do I do so safely?
2) Is there any way to set up a new iTunes library on her new laptop without destroying the music library she already has on the phone?
My goal would be to simply get the iOS version and iTunes database up to the latest version, so we can subscribe her to the iCloud service and back up all her music.

Alright, first of all I know everyone is getting sick and tired of the iphone related threads popping up over here. But I have no other choice but to start one — hoping someone will be able to offer me a solution to my problem.
Here's the deal. My wife has the unlimited data plan, since she signed up with Att last year. Currently she has a iPhone 3GS and sees no need to upgrade to the new version.
I on the other hand had been using a paygo T-mobile plan (had been waiting for the iPhone).
Now the thing is she doesn't really use her data and I most definitely could with my shiny new phone (hopefully arriving on June 24th), but am unable to as I don't already have a contract with them.
I know people would suggest to switch the sims when I get the phone, but that's a no-go as the Misses is very attached to her number and does not want to change it (under no condition whatsoever)
So what I need all you guys to tell me is a way to get her number switched over to my contract so I can give her my sim (I'm aware of the sim differences in the two phones and will sort that out.
So any clue how to do this?
I was thinking of porting over her number to a different carrier and then porting it back to a new line on att (though this would mean I lose my preorder).
Though I don't know if I can port over her current ATT number and still maintain the contract. Does ATT allow that. And how difficult do you guys think it would be to port it back to a new connection on ATT.
Also, her number is originally from Wisconsin and now we live in Chicago.
Is there an easier solution?
Why can't ATT just switch the numbers on the contracts?

Blackberry Bold OS 7.1 Latest DM I have had my phone for a month and wifi sync was working fine all that time. I could see my home library and download from it as needed. Last night I tried to add an album and when it started to download it shut down and there was a message "missing files connect to DM via usb and sync. I could no longer see the option to "Show home library". The problem is that i forgot that I had deleted that album from itunes so they were no longer on the physical drive. I could not get rid of the missing files error so I deleted wifi sync application through DM. Removed all music and then synced up via usb again. I then reinstalled wifi sync. Now, I get the message "no computer library found". I don't know what changed but I have tried everything to get it back. It is a business phone so enterprise email and my business' IT policy dictates a lot but I do not see that this would interfere. IT policy has Mass media mode disabled. When I plug the phone into usb I have only "Charge only" or "Media sync" as options. If I choose "media sync" I have to enter my password and desktop software does not see the device. The only was for desktop software to see the device is when I plug it in I have to enter my password on my PC screen and not make a choice on the device (Media sync or charge only). It syncs fine through usb. I see my entire itunes (Or WMP I tried also to same effect) and I can sync the music I choose. But away from my pc and there is no way to see my home library anymore.

I just got a replacement iphone and restored it from a backup, however, upon trying to sync it again, the 'sync apps' checkbox is not checked. I can see my apps that are greyed out but as soon as I check the box to sync the apps, they all disappear! I haven't synced it since for fear of having to start over every time.
