iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software – StumbleUpon. I haven’t ever had a problem with updating/restoring an iOS device but it might help to review this in case you do.


Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD. I had a friend who had a problem with this the other day. I have lots of friends from Twitter who ask me to help with their problems.


iTunes Windows 7 Problems – BEX error. It is almost a requirement to use iTunes or just being practical you need a third-party utility to copy music. I used Senutil earlier and it worked great. It allowed me to copy music from an old iPod to the desktop. Now I am testing another program called iRip. It seems pretty silly that Apple makes the integration of iOS content/device so tight that you risk losing it without third-party help.


This is a fairly balanced view of the different services. I don’t trust Amazon after they disabled and deleted content off the device. Just one time of being disrespected is enough.


Just upgraded my 3gs to iOS5 and Music…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting solution that the user found. I wonder if this was a cable issue. I once had an iPod that refused to sync and it turned out the cable was bent. A new cable fixed the issue.
ok..update..
Looks like by unchecking itunes sync music and then resyncing the whole library again it worked. It took a lot longer to sync this time then the initial sync during the install of iOS5. So I’m guessing the files weren’t really on the phone or were in the process of being transferred since i have 969 songs..
Anyway, seems to be working now…

iTunes 10.5 won\’t launch after upgrade…: Apple Support Communities. Thanks Walter Rowe for the solution. This solution worked for me.
I had a corrupt iTunes library file. Go to Music/iTunes and rename “iTunes Library.itl” and restart iTunes. If your crashing stops, then the library index file was the issue. All your media is still there in the Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder. You can drag-n-drop that folder back onto iTunes and it will rebuild the index. You may have to redo your iTunes preferences and reload your iOS devices, but that solved the problem for me.

In this thread he discusses this problem and even finds a solution. Great work juan152.
I was able to solve it!
So, I have a Windows 7 (64-bit computer) with the latest updated iTunes and it woudn’t want to restore my iPhone to a backed up version I had a few days ago. These are the steps I took to fix it myself.
What I used: 2 Laptops (Windows 7 laptop and Windows Vista Computer) and an external hard drive.
1. On my Windows 7 computer, I went to C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/Backup/[a huge set of numbers/letters] and put all the files of the earliest folder (as it is the most recent backup) into my external hard drive for transfer. ***Note: In order to view AppData, you must Unhide all hidden folders from the control panel***
2. I transferred the folder from my external hard drive to my Windows Vista Computer in C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/AppleComputer/MobileSync/MobileSync/Backup….
3. I connected my iPhone to my Windows Vista Computer, right clicked my iPhone in iTunes and “Restore from Backup.” The huge folder that I copied from my hard drive to my Local Disk Drive C:/ was there and it was able to restore!
Good luck! This took me 3 hours to figure out!
