I have had to reformat my PC for some reason and download iTunes afresh. So none of the history of iTunes remains. I have got the apps back by going to the purchased section. But I do not have the information on all the songs, videos etc that I had included from my vast collection in the iTunes library. I now want to upgrade my iOS and I believe I will lose all data, including all media when I do that.
1) Is there any way to update iTunes to my iPhones settings, including all media etc.? Purpose is to ensure I do not have to go back and create all the playlists etc. from scratch on iTunes before I upgrade my iOS.
2) For future reference, is there any way to backup the iTunes library itself?
3) A backup, per my understanding, will not help with any media I have included in the library - is that right?
I recently updated iTunes. The update went smoothly, but immediately after the update iTunes no longer shows my iPhone4. The diagnostics show that everything is okay with exception of the no iPhone connected error. I've run through all of the Apple helps but nothing has fixed the problem. The same problem occurs on other user profiles on the same computer. The computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 shows the iPhone and I can access it as a camera or drive. I've re-installed the phone USB driver but still no go. I can plug my phone into another computer and the sync works fine.
I have tried syncing my phone to my computer before but it deleted any song and playlist that wasn't in the iTunes on my computer. I sometimes will buy a song on my phone and I don't want to have to look up every song I have bought on my phone to go through and download it on my computer. Also I would like to not have to recreate playlist on my computer.
My sons iphone 4 needed to be replaced. When i plugged in the new phone it stated i needed to update the software and recommened I create a new user and change the user after updating. Now i can't figure out how to change the profile back to the profile we used on the broken phone.
I woke up this morning to my phone saying it needs to be connected to itunes. When I try to connect it says restore to factory settings cause my phone cannot be recognized. What should I do? I don't want to lose everything.
Everytime I plug my iPhone 4s into my computer and try to sync with iTunes, I get an error saying, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "xxxx", Go to the summary tab in iPhone options and click restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings". I have done this and still get the same problem. I use Windows 7. I have tried running both on and off administrator mode and with and without my Zonealarm firewall. This phone has never been jailbroken.
I've tried four times to download it and when it almost reaches completion it just freezes there and won't finish or transfer the update to my phone. Because of this I can now not download the latest update, or any new apps. Any ideas because this is driving me crazy!! I'm currently stuck with the 4.2.10 (8E600) when I got the phone about 2 yrs ago.
I'm on iOS 8.0.2Â on the iPhone 6. In mail settings, when I change any information (default account/signature etc) and return back to the settings screen, the settings revert back to what they were originally!
For example, when I edit my signature to 'Thanks', and click back to the mail settings menu, the signature appears as 'Sent from my iPhone' again! This is the same for all settings in mail only, not for those in contacts or calendar. Only mail settings seem to be not working.Â
I've tried a hard reboot, resetting network systems, and all that stuff. What should I do?
I am trying to update my iphone 4 with the IOS5 update and its just not happening. After finally finding a program to transfer my music, etc off my phone to my pc i tried to do it through itunes but it keeps timing out, over and over again. So I have now gone to the apple site to find a way - it says you can do it through your phone using the 'Software Update' option in your Settings on your phone. However, I DON'T HAVE THE 'SOFTWARE UPDATE ' option in my settings - its just not there
I had to change my email address and password via the ITunes store from my PC, but now I cannot download apps via the phones app store icon. It still has the original email address but everhing has changed and the original password or the new password doesnt work.
My Mum gave me her old iPhone 4S. I've never had a smart phone before so I am new to all this. I want to update the OS (my mum won't have updated ui it since buying it) but I can't see any software update section under settings/general. It just isn't there.Â
After changing to the new iPhone software and iTunes, while resyncing, computer shut down. Now the photos, my personal settings, and all pictures are gone. Any way to find/resync back to normal?
I know when you upgrade to iOS4 it updates the carrier file to AT&T 7.0. Being on 7.0 doesn't allow me to input my own Cellular Data Network settings. Is there another IPCC for at&t that will work on iOS4 and allow me to input my own cellular data network settings? Something to like the pictures I've posted.
My iPhone is the 3GS, firmware 3.1.3/5.12. It's jailbroken currently with spirit(obviously). I want to know if I can update to the 4.0 gm seed safely now that iTunes 9.2 is out for pc. I'm not a developer but Ive Downloaded the ispw online. Also will I be able to jailbreak it?
