• Come on Apple! : why Itunes wants to erase my iphone to manually manage music for me

  Hello

  I wonder if there is a way to activate the option to manually manage music without the synchronization and erasing all the info on my iphone 6. It is terrible because I can't understand how to do this and I do not use my computer to store all the music on my iphone, and I don't know how to backup all my pictures and etc. in my computer. I have activated this option before on another device and was angry because when Sync I lost all my photos including images of my great-aunt who could now be passed away while she was struggling with cancer was given a little time to live. I am currently using a third-party program called AnyTrans to add titles to my iphone but I want to be able to do simply in itunes instead. That said, does anyone know how to enable this option for those of us who don't do the thing whole sync? As is - this does anyone have ideals about why itunes forces you to synchronize when you change the settings?

  Appreciate any help and advice given here. Thank you!

  Hello

  For the sake of Apple, you can only toggle a device of automatic synchronization to manual management without removing the media on this issue when it is connected to the library, with which it was previously synchronized. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device library for general steps to recover all media on a device in the local library, after what you can afford wipe and reload it. If you choose to manage manually in the future you should keep all of your media in a local library that you have backed up so that you can restore your device or replacement as and when the need arises.

• iTunes wants to update an iPhone update...

  Any ideas on why iTunes wants to update my iPhone 9.2.1 when turned 9.2.1 already? Not a huge problem just annoying... Are tired of stuff like re start etc, but still no luck.

• iTunes wants to update my iPhone already up-to-date

  (What I... MacBook 2015, OSX 10.11.3 with all latest updates. iPhone 6s more w/iOS 9.2.1)

  I updated my iPhone to 9.2.1 shortly after she was released.

  Last Sunday, I connected my iPhone to my MacBook and iTunes told me iOS 9.2.1 is available and asks me if I want to download/install.

  I connected with my iPhone to my MacBook for several times after that I upgraded and it's not happened so far.

  Has anyone seen this; have a cure; or an idea how to solve this problem?

  TIA!

  B

  There was an update to iOS 9.2.1 (mid-February) for devices with Touch ID to deal with error 53 (If you see error 53 and your iPhone or iPad is stuck on the screen 'Connect to iTunes' - Apple Support) – Apple made the new version as 9.2.1 but they gave him a new build number (the number that shows up after the version number in settings > general > topic > Version on) the phone).

  Update (after a backup and copy purchases through your Mac iTunes library) to the new version via iTunes on your computer will get your phone up to date (as far as I know will not show the new version in settings > general > software update, you can't update directly on the phone).

• iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

  iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

  I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

  Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports. Now I'm reinstalling Windows 10 by last resort of Windows support councils. I got the same message USB. In iTunes, under devices something removed my 5s and the iPad. But it remains 6 s wife. I tried my computers 2-(SS) 3.0 ports and 1 port 2.0 ordinary. I tried all four thinners cables I have. I will let you know the result of the Windows reinstall.

  That's what I've got;

  IPhone IOS9.2.1 version

  ITunes Mac version is 11.4

  iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements:

  You can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

• How to put iTunes library on the new iPhone 5 s computer

  I saw others asking similar questions, but the answers involve to make a backup of your old computer.  I can't do it.  My old computer has gone, I have no access to him, I can in no way make any kind of relief. I have a new computer now, and after much delayed due to all simply not wanting to fight with him, I decided to finally put on iTunes and sync my iPhone 5.  Now, I've been bitten by this before.  Several years ago is the same thing with another computer and when I tried to sync my iPhone 4, deleted everything on iTunes the phone and I could access is no longer dozens of songs I had bought on the phone.  They have not appear at all in my iTunes library, Apple told me they have not can recover songs even though I bought and paid for them, and I ended up losing hundreds of dollars.  I won't do that again.

  I wonder if there is anything that I can synchronize my current iTunes library on my 5 iPhone to iTunes library, I'm about to download to my new computer.  Any other response I saw said I should do a backup on my old computer, but I can't do it.  Is it possible to just transfer my phone library directly into my computer iTunes library?  All the music I have purchased legally through the iTunes store on my phone and comes in my library on my phone.  My new computer has Windows 10, fully updated and everything else on the computer functions normally.

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer!

  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

  Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

  To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

  If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

• How can I sync the videos taken with an iPhone to an iPod nano

  I want to sync the videos taken with my iPhone to my children your iPod nano. The videos are stored on my iMac in the Photos app in a specific album.

  I tried using iTunes and synchronization of the picture with this particularly chosen album, but nothing has been synchronized. There is no error messages or warnings, just nothing is synchronized.

  I know I could manually importing the video into iTunes and sync as films, but there should be an easier way to do this, right?

  I think the method you mentioned is how you need to do.  In iTunes to sync iPod movies, you configure settings from iPod movies screen (to select the movies you want to synchronize).  Settings of the iPod screen photos is for photos (image files).  Movies do not appear on the screen of the parameters of the iPod movies , unless they are in your library of movies to iTunes.
