HT5654 my iphone 5 will not sync with my itune account it says i need to restore my phone but how do i do that?

my i 5 phone shows that i need to plug into itunes but when i do it says i need to remove my phone and rest it but how do i do that?

This is a bad situation. Your iPhone is in a state which cannot be backed up, and the Restore will return iPhone to factory specs erasing it. You need to Restore your iPhone to get it working again. If you were experiencing problems before, maybe your iPhone is damaged. If still faulty, and you have Warranty or AppleCare take iPhone to Apple for evaluation. If no coverage and still faulty it may be time for new phone.

  • TS1363 My Iphone 5 will not sync with my Itunes.  I have updated my drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled my Itunes, done all the necessary steps.  Ever since the new software update it will not sync and will not even show my Iphone when i open Itunes.

    My Iphone 5 and Itunes no longer sync after I updated my IOS to 7.1  I have done multiple things to troubleshoot.  Uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers, uninstalled Itunes, reinstalled Itunes, etc..  It will not show my Iphone in Itunes anymore and will not sync. 

    Hello bsae14,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

    It IS a camera.
    Have you tried opening iTunes?  Does iTunes detect that the iPhone is connected?

  • HT1386 my iphone 4s WILL NOT sync with my itunes at all i am very unhappy

    I have had iphones since the 3gs and have always been able to fix my iphone but now I cant and I Just got a 5S and dont know if i even want to use it if this will continue to happen. Apple has slowly been making more and more frustrated with each update to itunes and iphone so if this issue of not connecting AND just deleteing my music is not fix I WILL GO TO DROID

    Define "not connecting."  What computer OS and iTunes version are you using?
    Since you provided no specific information about what you did and what happened when you try to sync, there is no way for anyone to determine what you're doing wrong.
    I WILL GO TO DROID

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with iphoto

    Iphone four will not sync with iphoto, error message appears. any suggestions?

    Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
    Which updates are these?  For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
    If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
    or
    upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

  • FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

    I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
    My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
    But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
    • Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
    • iTunes 10
    • iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
    The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
    Step 1: Go to Control Panel
    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click Hardware & Sound
    3. Click Power Options
    4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
    5. Click Change advanced power settings
    6. Expand USB Settings
    7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
    8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
    9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
    10. Click OK
    Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
    3. Click Properties
    4. Click Device Manager
    5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
    7. Click Properties
    8. Click Power Management
    9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    10. Click OK
    11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
    12. Click Properties
    13. Click Power Management
    14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    15. Click OK
    16. Restart your computer
    After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
    You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
    There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
    Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
    Good luck.

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit

    My iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit. My computer recognizes the iphone but Itunes does not. Any suggestions?

    First it told me to uninstall itunes and install a windows 64 bit version which I did, the phone still won't sync
    At the same time the itunes won't access the store
    I've never accessed the store before or synced the phone
    I live in a country without apple stores and geniuses so this is really the only way someone can help me

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL

    My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL.

    Define "sync with". Does it establish a bluetooth connection for handsfree use?  Are you having a problem with contacts? The iPhone supports PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol) for accessing contacts. PBAP will pull your contact list automatically at connection time. If your system wants you to transfer your contacts, it's probably using rSAP (Rrmote SIM Access Protocol). The iPhone does not support rSAP. Most modern smartphones don't base on my understanding, but I'm not an expert on Android so I won't swear to that.
    You may be able to get your system updated by the dealer.
