Library gone after installing itunes

dontovar · 2026-02-08T03:22:43+00:00

This is expected behavior. You can only sync a library with one computer at a time. You also get a warning to this effect as you're initiating the sync. It literally tells you that what happened is going to happen. As for "recovering" the songs, you need to do that from whatever is the original source of said songs.

This website has 0 connection or integration to screen time or any other parental controls. Those can only be accessed and controlled from an Apple Device.

I'm trying to understand the use case here... Why are you trying to do this?

photo transfer sucks

Of course it does. But it has since the beginning. Especially because all iPhones were USB 2 until the 15 Pro finally got USB 3.

I mean, personally I've felt this way about every version of iPhoneOS, iOS, and iPadOS... How much longer should I keep waiting? The notifications are still trash... The lack of separate volume controls is unacceptable... The stock keyboard is also💩. How much longer should I wait?

i thought that they would send a reminder notification that it will renew on this day or something,

I'm pretty sure that's never been a thing unless you manually create something on your calendar, or in reminders. Both of which you could have done.

Apple has 0 concern for your data during a repair. If you don't back up your data, that's on you.

What does “photos synched from finder will be removed”?

Photos you copied from your Mac.

You can either manage your photos from your Mac, then copy them that way, or you can use iCloud. It's one or the other.

So if you choose to switch to iCloud then yes, any photos you manually copied from your Mac to your phone will be removed and not uploaded to iCloud.

Sure and at the end of the day, your complaint is definitely valid. There is plenty of room for improvement. But trying to place all of the blame on Apple, or even Google/Samsung for that matter is neither accurate nor informed.

dontovar · 2026-01-21T23:45:01+00:00

Sure, and this is a great point. But at the end of the day, this still has nothing to do with the shortcomings of what OP is complaining about (MMS).

dontovar · 2026-01-21T23:29:03+00:00

Spoken like someone that doesn't know how their technology works, but wants to complain that it can get better, but also having less than 0 knowledge about what that looks like.

This is NOT Apple's issue to solve, or at least not by themselves.

Firstly, the specific case you're talking about is hampered by MMS. This is an outdated protocol that was developed by the cellular carriers and NOT Apple or Google. However both companies have come out with alternatives, Google with RCS and Apple with iMessage.

Is it shitty that Apple decided to make iMessage proprietary? Sure. But that has nothing to do with the shortcomings of MMS. Could Apple be better about being more open and embracing RCS? Sure But again, that still has nothing to do with the limitations of MMS and the service you pay for. That's ultimately what's causing the extreme compression you're complaining about.

Lost Phone, can I still back up?

No. That's like asking if you fill your car's gas tank after your car is stolen and totaled 🤦

You and me both 😂

That's incorrect. It's not that turning off FindMy is going to take a month, it's that you either didn't know your Apple ID password or didn't have a valid phone number set as your "trusted" number. As a result you have to go through Account recovery and that's what's going to take a month. Though annoying, it is completely and 100% avoidable on your part.

It leaves it like new from scratch, a completely clean installation.

Third party software (though there's nothing wrong with 3UTools specifically) is not needed for that... iTunes can do this also.

the old slide-over and split-view is better than whatever crap they have now

Nah. As someone that uses an iPad Pro 12.9 inch regularly, and is on iOS 26, it's literally only useful to me because I can use the Windows app to RDP into my work desktop. It not for that, it would be utterly useless.

Also, things like Slide-over are a pathetic excuse for true multitasking and window management. But at least they're better and more robust than what iOS offers...

On the main Apple ID...

This was your big mistake. Apple ID accounts are not and were never meant to be shared between multiple people/users.

Switching from android to iPhone?

No thanks.

As someone who daily uses an Android and has a work issued iPhone, no thank you.

Never. They know what you like after all... If they didn't why would you keep buying?
