IPhone 4 not syncing automatically with iTunes

Hi everyone,
my old iPhone (original 2G) was syncing automatically when I opened iTunes. This does not work with my new iPhone 4. I have to hit the Sync button in the lower right manually. Did I miss a setting somewhere?
I am not talking about automatically opening iTunes when the iPhone is connected!
Thanks
Björn

  • Iphone does not sync ringtone with itunes

    My iphone 4 does not sync ringtone with itunes. I created a new ringtone in itunes ( file.m4r) , tagged it and started syncing with my iphone, but the new ringtone does not show among the ringtones in my iphone

    Now it works, don't know how, but iot works, since I changed into sync manually started a sync process unsuccessfully and get back to re-sync automatically.
    Used sync all ring tones instead of sync selected ones, but I tried this before and it did not work.
    Very strange, should have been this change, otherwise I really dont't know why it works now and not before

  • I have an iphone 4S with broken wifi (!) and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    I have an iphone 4S with broken wif i :-( and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    If your Bluetooth is working, you may be able to tether your phone to another device, and backup that way.  Either via iCloud or one of many Apps that send yourself a VCF file containing your contacts.
    You may have to update to a later IOS via USB and iTunes, not sure if IOS 6 has Bluetooth Tethering.
    I would have thought you could also switch off cloud sync'ing for your contacts, this should ask a question if you want to keep the contacts on your phone.  An iTunes Backup and then Restore to your new iPhone should restore the local contacts.  Then sync these back to the iCloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC.  I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help
    Sync contacts and other info with iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Info.
    Select the items you want to sync.
    Click Apply.
    Take care,

  • How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

        How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?  Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
        Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer.  But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
        (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
    thank you!

    Turn off mobile data?
    Talk to your carrier about the usage increase.
    Googling provides many tips- https://www.google.com/search?q=reduce+iPhone+data+usage&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

  • IPad does not sync correctly with iTunes

    Hey, I have a problem and would appreciate some help.
    I have all my music library on itunes on my macbook (including some albums that I have created as compilations by collating multiple albums and for which I have edited the album cover photo ie selected a photo of my own). Some of the songs have been entered in my library by cds that I had and the rest by being purchased directly from itunes.
    When I sync my itunes library with my ipods all is well and the albums, artists, playlists etc sync exactly the same (that is covers, tracks, order etc remain as shown on my library).
    When I sync with my iphone 5S or my ipad air then I get strange... Some albums show correclty, others have a different cover photo - not the one that I have selected and edited on itunes -  some have the tracks doubled or even the entire albums doubled, etc...
    Although I have tried to solve this on my own, i have not managed yet...
    BTW both my devices (iphone and ipad) sync automatically with icloud and so I only connect them to my macbook in order to sync the music. Maybe this is the problem?? Is there any way to have icloud NOT sync music with the devices?
    On my macbook I have tried the ioption 'manage music manually' and then selecting the albums on my own but i get the same strange results.
    Any ideas?
    I even tried to erase all the music from my ipad/iphone (by selecting 'manage music manually' and then not selecting any of the albums or tracks in my library) but the music, at least part of it remains there... basically only the songs or albums purchased from itunes showing the icloud download icon next to them.
    Any sugestions on how to solve this issue?
    THX for your help,
    Dimitris

    Scrap that, it seems to have self remedied

    My devices, iPad and iPhone, are not updating automatically with pages.  Any suggestions. They use to update beautifully about one week ago.  I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple store for software issues, and I been having updating issues.  Little help please.....

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Check all your devices still have documents and data syncing turned on in settings > iCloud and that iCloud is enabled at settings > Pages. If this doesn't help, reset documents & Data from a computer at...

  • Why do the videos I shot on my iPhone 4s not sync automatically to my ipad2

    Why do videos I shoot on my iPhone 4s not sync automatically to my ipad2

    A quick Google of iCloud leads me to believe that video content is not currently part of the iCloud service. That makes sense because adding video to the mix would certainly add a lot of bandwidth strain to the service. But there is an iOS app called Video Stream ($2.99) that you might look into that adds video to your iCloud account. If you use a lot of space you may need to buy additional iCloud storage above the 5 GB of free space.

  • IPhone 4 not syncing music through iTunes

    I just recently got the iPhone 4S and gave my iPhone 4 to my dad. We downloaded a new version of iTunes  on his computer and he has music loaded from CDs that he has. When we tried to add music to the iPhone 4 by syncing it with iTunes the music doesn't load to the phone. When we look back at the playlist that we tried to sync, it has the small error logos next to each song. We tried syncing other playlists and got the same result. We synced apps successfully. What do we need to do to be able to successfully sync music from iTunes to the iPhone 4?

  • Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud.

    Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud. I have merged data with facebook contacts, and this merged information appears as I want it to be on icloud.com. But on the iphone, the facebook contacts and the icloud contact appear separately.
    I have tried exporting the contacts out of icloud.com, then deleting all contacts on both icloud.com and on the iphone; then importing the vcard back into icloud.com, but the facebook details still appear as a separate contact. It is too time consuming to merge all of my contacts manually What should I do in order for the iphone to display the contacts as it is on icloud.com?

    Is there some sort of Facebook tag on the vCard?

  • IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

    Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
    Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
    Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
    Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
    Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
    Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
    No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
    iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
    Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

    Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
    Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
    But one of them drove me crazy!
    I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
    Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
    Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
    I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
    I left it for hours and nothing.
    As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
    1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
    1- Repair Permittions
    2- Reinstall iTunes
    3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
    4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
    5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
    6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
    7- Reset PRAM
    Nothing worked.
    I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
    But disableing it didn't worked neither.
    THE SOLUTION
    I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
    1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
    2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
    3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
    4- i Created a new task at that calendar
    5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
    6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
    7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
    This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
    Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
    Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
    Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
    I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
    HOpe it works for you!

  • My iPhone will not sync to my iTunes

    OK, my iphone will not sync with my itunes. My phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4  and my itunes is updated to the 11.1.3 or whatever it is. I had over 1000 songs on my phone. When I hooked it up to sync some more music it deleted over 400 songs that I did not delete. They just disappeared when I hooked it up. How can  I get my music back and have it sync  to my laptop?

    I  just played all of my music couple hours ago and now its only down to 500 songs!!!
