I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

    Over the last few days I haven't been able to download any app. can any one help me, please ? thank you.

    Andrea...
    You posted in the "Using Mac App Store" forum but your profile indicates you are using an iPad so that's what I'll try helping you with.
    On the iPad tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Then restart the iPad.  Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If you still can't download apps, the problem may be your Wi-Fi connection >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

    My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device.  I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either.  These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on.  I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Thanks.

    See:

    Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

    What happens when you try...? Make sure you are in the iTunes Store for your Country...
    If you are... and have a Valid Payment Method associated with your account...
    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of Your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

    What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone?  It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync.  But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
    I have the latest version of itunes
    Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
    all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
    THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
    Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music?  How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost?  How do I get it to sync?

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
    by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Not able to update any apps from new apple id.. Old id im not using anymore., cannot access the old one

    Not able to update any apps from new apple id.. Old id im not using anymore., cannot access the old one.. But during update time asking for same old password of old apple id

    If you change your Apple ID, all the apps you purchased with the previous ID will no longer updatable for you and this problem will continue. You see your old Apple ID because you are likely still using some of the apps purchased on that ID.

  • I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

    I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock. How do I go about it?

    Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
    you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
    travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
    Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
    may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
    case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
    active.
