Cannot sync iTunes and iPhone

Hi Gents,
I still use an old 16G iPhone and I am very happy with it. I got the following message "some applications in your iTunes Library were not installed on the iPhone 'my iPhone' because you are not authorized for them on this computer".
Any suggestion?
For information, I had to reinstall OSX and all applications from scratch a week ago, and then copied back iTunes from back-up.
Thanks a lot from Paris,
Patrick

I finally found the solution there:

from the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
and it works fine for me

HT1386 Trouble syncing iTunes and iPhone 4 wirelessly recently...

I have iTunes 11.0.2 and iPhone 4 iOS 6.1.3. Running on a OS X 10.6.8. I have the Wi-fi sync selected and my phone used to sync fine, but now it doesn't appear in iTunes any more. Both devices are on the same network and when I try to push my phone to "Sync Now" in the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, it says it will resume when my computer is available. I have tried restarting both, shutting both down and restarting, and doing a hard restart on my phone. Nothing.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your time and help.

Cannot sync iCal and iPhone in Leopard

Hello,
iCal will not sync to my iPhone since upgrading to Leopard. I've restarted both iPhone and Mac repeatedly, but that hasn't helped. I've tried changing iPhone iCal sync settings but nothing works. All other information is synced, just not iCal.

Thanks so much for the advice.
Unfortunately, the problem persists. Syncing of iCal has been completely unstable ever since purchasing my iPhone both before Leopard and after. I just updated to 10.5.1 and the issue remains.
I have just deleted unwanted calendars - no improvement. I have reset the iPhone - no change. I have reset my iSync history - no effect.
This is a true case of Apple simply "just not working" instead of "just working". I've been a user since 1991 and an avid fan. Apple simply isn't the same company it used to be. I have a hard time advocating when something this basic to the PDA functionality consistently fails.
Thanks again for your help.

Cannot sync. itunes with iphone.

I see my apps. on the itunes windows, but they will not transfer to my phone, why?

There is no fix as of today from Apple. However, here is an imperfect "workaround":
Found a solution on another site that worked for me when I encountered the same problem (and did not want to pay for iPhoto 11):
Press the option key while starting iPhoto, it will ask which library to use -- select "Create a new library." That will create an empty library.
Quit iPhoto, then restart it with the option key to ensure it's using the new, empty library. Close iPhoto.
Open iTunes -- if you're lucky (I was, finally), it should not crash when you select the iPhone. Now you can check that the "sync photos" option in iTunes is not selected.
If you're using iPhoto, restart it with the option key to select a library -- select your older library.
In case you're using Aperture as I am, I did not have to make any changes in the Aperture libraries. I've been able to keep Photo Stream enabled on the iPhone without complications, which meets my needs.
Configuation - iMac, OS 10.7.3, iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1 (over the air update), iPhoto 8. I did not encounter the problem others have reported with iTunes crashing as soon as it was opened; but it did consistently when I selected the iPhone.
Hope this helps.

Syncing Itunes and Iphone

I had to restore my laptop to the original settings and lost all the music in my itunes account. I have downloaded itunes after the restore and tried to sync the phone with the account but it starts syncing and then stops. I thought once the phone was synced to itunes again it would restore my music library in itunes. Does anyones know of a way to do that?

RG is right - you need to start backing up !
however, there are 3rd party apps that help with retrieving your media files and put them back on your computer. check out this post by Zevoneer.
as for playlist, have a look @ [this|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12257908#12257908] post by *Chris CA*.

New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

Trying to sync with iTunes and iPhone

trying to sync with iTunes and iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read or written to keeps coming up.
Iphone 6+ with iMac all latest versions

Hi PreParrott,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving an alert that your iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read or written to. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the troubleshooting steps suggested within it.

When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas?

When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas? It has always worked in the past...

On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

Itunes cannot sync apps to iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined

I am encountering the same problem. This is a good start but need some guidance:
1. How do you get to the iTunes files you mention?
2. What specific files do you need?
3. Will I lose any data?
Thanks for any help.
1) The files are in the iTunes folder. The iTunes folder is in your Music folder which is in your home folder (user).
So go to <user home>/Music/iTunes.
2) Any files that end with .xml, .itl, or itdb. Please note that I had upgraded iTunes many times over the years and had several obsolete versions of those files in my iTunes folder. By moving them out and forcing iTunes to create new ones (see steps 3 & 4 above), I was able to determine which ones iTunes actually needed. Those were the files that I copied back into the iTunes folder, overlaying the new empty files.
3) Always make backups before you try tricks like this. I would recommend backing up your entire iTunes folder. I did not experience any data loss. Those files seem to contain your iTunes library information but not the actual music, movies, etc. When I started iTunes in step 3 (see above), iTunes showed an empty library. After performing step 4 (see above), I started iTunes again and it showed all my music, movies, etc. So I assume that the actual media files are stored elsewhere. Again, always make backups before trying something like this. I use Time Machine.
Good luck. Let us know what happens.

Itunes on second computer cannot sync music with iphone

My primary computer for syncing my iphone is a imac and my secondary computer is a laptop running windows with itunes on it. When i set up iphone to sync with the laptop the music would not sync. The itunes version on the laptop can download purhcased songs. So i purchased new music through itunes on the laptop and now cannot sync that to the iphone without erasing all the other music on the iphone. Does anyone know how i can sync the purchased music on the laptop itunes with the iphone?
Grateful for any advice. I am not a satisfied user of apple itunes and iphone. I purchase music on itunes as I believe in paying for copyrighted music. Then when i own it apple software does not allow me to use it easily. Not really fair.

I also could not even manually drag and drop files onto my iPhone from my second computer. I have a video iPod, Shuffle and now iPhone. I drop songs onto both my shuffle and video iPod from THREE different computers (work, home and laptop). Are you telling me for some wacky reason we now cannot use more than one computer to drop files onto the iPhone?
I love my iPhone but that *****!!! You hear that Apple, it *****!!!!

Isn't that only used when a PC will not boot?
What options does booting with this give me?
