IPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I download iOS 8.1.2
iPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I downloaded iOS 8.1.2 I get the message that it "failed to sync because the sync failed to start." Doesn't work with cable or over WiFi. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Before connecting your device to iTunes to sync, double-click the Home button, and close all open apps by sliding up on the thumbnails until all open apps are closed. Then try the sync again.
Cheers,

Iphone 4s will no longer sync with itunes 11.0.4 using outlook for mac
I have been successful for almost 18 months in getting my Outlook for Mac 2011 to sync to my iphone 4s using itunes. However, I noticed today that changes that I was making to my contacts either on my phone or on the computer were not being synced up. I also plug in using USB to sync, because iCloud causes all sorts of probems when syncing things to Outlook for Mac. Can anyone help me?
I have noticed that in itunes 11.0.4 there is no longer a box to check or a dropdown box specifically being able to choose "sync contacts with outlook"
I know I am in the dark ages, but I happen to like Outlook and the integration of the calendar and contacts, etc. So I would really like to get this fixed and syncing again.
thanks for any and all help.I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or information as to why?

IPhone 3gs will no longer sync to iTunes on Windows 7 x64
My iPhone 3gs worked fine up until the last 2 updates. Ever since then, the iphone is not even recognized by iTunes. When I go under "devices" in the advanced settings I can see the backup for my phone. Why can't it recognize a phone that it's already recognized? I installed the latest 10.4 and still it's not recognized. I know the computer sees it as it's listed as "started" and "automatic" under services in the admin tools. I've pretty much tried every work around I can think of or seen online and nothing has worked at all. Really have no idea what to do next.
If anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue, I would greatly appreciate it! My setup is below:
Windows 7 pro x64
iTunes 10.4
iphone 3gs
Thanks in advance for any assistance!Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

HT4623 since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync?
since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?
Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried. -

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.
My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again. -
My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore it and error message 1437 said it could not be restored. Any thoughts on how I can sync or restore?
Good day billoelwein,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano being unable to restore, you may want to first try resetting the iPod. See the directions in this article -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the issue is still present after a reset, you may need to restore your iPod nano back to factory settings. See this article -
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -

ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync
iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!
If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
Go to
Settings
Main, contacts etc.
scroll down to "Contacts"
under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
This solution worked for me! -
