I have always synced my iPhone 4 with my CPU at work, but I am trying to start over with my personal laptop. I have my music library loaded into this laptop just as I did at work. I am now trying to unsync my phone and just select certain genres from my library to sync. When I plug my phone in, iTunes recognizes it, I click on it on the left side, then I uncheck "Sync Music". Once I uncheck "Sync Music" it appears at the bottom that it will remove the music. It takes away all the blue from the capacity graph. I then click Apply, the sync begins and right before the end, the blue reappears on the capacity graph and all my music is still on my phone. I can't get it off to choose a new group of songs and resync it.
I have been using a friend's computer, which has a CD drive, to purchase music from iTunes and burn my CDs (purchased years ago) onto the computer for synching with my iPhone4. Well, that computer finally "died," and I purchased an Ultrabook, which does not have a CD drive. However, I did not think much of this, as everything these days can be downloaded, it seems.
Well, when I hooked my iPhone up to my new computer (after installing iTunes on the new computer), it only synched the songs I had purchased from iTunes. It did not synch ANY of my own music, which I burned from my CD collection. I tinkered with some of the synch settings, and all of them will seemingly wipe out my iPhone library and replace it with the iTunes library from the new computer.
To clarify, about 90% of my music on my iPhone comes from my CD collection, which I spent WEEKS transferring So, going through that BS again is not an option, nor is buying all the music (some of which iTunes does not have), since I already purchased all of my CDs.
I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad Air. After the IOS 8 update, apps I downloaded on my iPhone started appearing on my iPad. The iPad also rings when a call comes into my iPhone. What settings do I change so that the two devices do not sync?
When I initially set up my 5S I plugged into my dad's Mac.. Now everytime I take a picture it goes right to his computer. how can I unsnyc it without losing any of my stuff on my phone?
In my phone, my contacts automatically sync with my primary e-mail account, a gmail account. I would like to undo this and instead sync them with Facebook. When I say this, what I mean is that I want my Facebook friends to be automatically added to my contacts.

When ever I watch a video and I get maybe 5-10mins in the movie the video starts to unsync with the voices, has anyone gotten this issue an is there a fix for this?
Since my MBP is out of commission (posted about that in a different thread) and I don't know when/how it will be fixed, I'm trying to use my iPhone 4s on my boyfriend's PC in the meantime. I want to add some music that he made, but it won't allow me to, and if I sync it, I'll lose the music that's already on my iPhone. Is there any way to add music without syncing and losing my stuff or am I just screwed? I could redownload the stuff I bought off iTunes, but I have a lot of music on there I've ripped from CDs, half of which I don't know where they are anymore, and all of those files are on my dead MBP's HDD and time machine.
My current Macbook Pro is now five years old and I soon plan on buying one of the new flash based Macbook Pros. I would like to turn my old Macbook Pro into an Itunes/media server and keep all of my music stored there. I do not want to keep any music on the new computer. Is it possible to sync my iphone with the new computer (contacts, apps, etc.), but transer music off of the other computer onto my iphone. If it can be done, can it be done wirelessly, or would I have to use a USB cable every time I want to update my music.
I have an iPhone 4s (Verizon). I had recently purchased what was described as an OEM screen plus LCD after I had cracked my factory screen. After replacing the screen and LCD such features as the side volume controls, vibrate switch, and proximity switch (dimming after accepting a call) have stopped working. I double checked to see that all of the connectors were pushed on correctly and they were. Is it possible this may not be an OEM screen and causing the problem or is there a piece of the hardware that I may have damaged that controls all of these functions (i.e. motherboard)?
I am getting my new phone tomorrow and im tired of using my laptop to sync, and would rather use my desktop. I do not want my music, just my apps - but i cant figure out how to view my apps on my desktop! I have never used it before for syncing or anything and i plugged in my phone and i wasnt able to see my purchased apps or anything. Personally i hate itunes because i can never figure out where **** is!
Also, i just updated my current phone yesterday to iOS4 and my phone is back to normal. There are no apps or music currently on it. The only thing i still have is my contacts - which is all i wanted to keep on my phone. I dont have to sync my phone and put all the apps on my phone from my laptop, then sync again with my desktop, do i? that would be horrible on Apple's part..
My Iphone 3GS IOS5 is usually synced with my home desktop Imac. I am going to travel USA for several weeks, and I wish to sync my Iphone with my MacBookAir during this trip, and go back to my usual sync with the Imac once back home.
I had music on 2 computers that I purchased through Itunes. When I tried to transfer one set of songs to the other computer it synced (songs showed up on that computer's itunes), but now won't let me put those songs on my Iphone4s? How do I get those songs to sync with my phone.
