Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help

Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff.  I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this.  After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer.  I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing.  Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue).  They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall.  I have done that but still not recognising iphone.  I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc.  I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet.  Can anyone pls help?  Apple support now closed :-(  thanks

I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5. 
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS.  I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5.  This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house.  Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.?  (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes

    Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes. Have tried to hard reset iPhone (all data lost- sad) and reinstalled iTunes. Still cannot work.

    It sounds like you bough the song only, not the song and the ringtone.
    Ringtones via itunes are available in the U.S. only.
    In the U.S. to make a ringtone you:
    Buy the song with a bell - 99 cents
    Find the song in your library and click the bell
    This bring up the editor.
    You edit the song to the portion you want.
    Then click buy to purchase the ringtone - another 99 cents.
    Then it shows up in ringtones and you can sync.
    As I said, this method of creating ringtones is available in the U.S. only.
    There are, however, many ways to make ringtones:

  • Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

    Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
    Thank you Espeon for the article

  • Ipad not detected after updating itunes 11.1 on windows 8.1

  • Permissions will not repair after update itunes 11.1

    Permissions will not repair in Mountain Lion 10.8.5 after updating Itunes to version 11.1

    These days it's quite normal to get a long list of 'errors' on doing a permissions repair because Disk Utility has not been upgraded to allow for some changes made to the system.
    As long as at the bottom of the list it says 'Permissions repair complete' you can safely ignore them all.

  • ITunes will not sync after update

    I  just got my new iOS - iPhone 5c- and have not yet sync with my pc. So, before I sync I updated my iOS and my iTunes (thought everything would be up to date). Then a message on my iPhone asks "Do you trust this computer? I do- I don't" so I press I do, and then nothing happens. I opended my iTunes but the iTunes icon of my iphone wont appear. I have restarted my pc and still aint working. Please someone help!

    Towards the bottom of this thread you may find your answer. In short, update 11.1.4.62 was flawed and you need to install a driver for syncing to work again. Follow the directions. Takes just a few minutes.

  • Unable to sync after updating iTunes to 11.1 and phone to iOS 7

    We updated our phones to the new iOS7 tonight and in the process updated iTunes to 11.1.  Unfortunately, now when i connect my phone to the computer to sync it with iTunes, I do not have the option to Sync.  I can change my music selection and choose "apply" but "sync" never changes to a clickable button.  Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful.

    I had this problem also. I just rebooted my iPhone 4S and now it sync properly. Hold the home button and power button together at the same time for about 8-10 seconds and only release them when the Apple logo appears on the screen. Give your phone several seconds to finish booting and register on the cellular and wifi networks and then see if you can sync.

  • My iphone not sync with my itunes??

    I can't manage my iphone apps in my itunes just like i can do to my ipad. Why?
    Or probably we can't sync our iphone anymore after we already sync an ipad using the same computer same itunes??
    As a matter of fact i sync my ipad first before my iphone.

    Itunes is capable of syncing multiple devices. That is not an issue.
    it sounds like your iphone is not being recognized by itunes.
    Go to this link and search on "iPhone recognize in itunes".

  • Photos not syncing after update to photo app

    photos not uploading to photo app after update, I have over 10,000 photos that are trying to upload and the last import says 2013 instead of last week.   I have a MacBook pro and my icloud sharing is on and I purchased more space so that is not the problem

    i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
    This seems contradictory, I'm not clear whether music, movies etc work for you or not.
    In regard to the photos, make sure iphoto sharing is enabled and not blocked by your firewall, you could try creating a new photo library in the same location but with a different name to your existing library to avoid overwriting it, to see if it's a photo library issue or something else.

  • Iphone not syncing music from itunes. all other devices are, it's just one iphone on my account

    I'm having an issue syncing one iphone with my itunes account. I have several other iphones and an ipod that will sync just fine. I am running Windows 8. There was a glitch earlier when the new ios came out that was resolved and everything was working fine... now this one phone is not syncing. The music is showing up but when you hit play it just skips through.

  • How do I add a ringtone to an iPhone not synced to my iTunes?

    Hey all. I have a situation at work. The story is...
    A couple of the managers have switched to iPhone 3gs and they're not very tech savvy. So, they asked me to create a ringtone using Garageband which is the theme song of their respective team and make it the default ringtone. However, I couldn't sync their respective devices wiithout erasing & syncing to my iTunes. Is there any way I could circumvent this?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Wynn

    Currently this is not a feature in Firefox for Android. Currently the only way to manage bookmarks in Firefox for Android is by using a Desktop installation that is synced between Firefox for Android and Firefox for Desktop. [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

  • Songs not syncing after disabling iTunes Match

    I subscribed to iTunes Match a week ago and uploaded my library.
    Then I enabled iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S and my iPad2.
    Yesterday I decided to disable iTunes Match on my iOS devices and synced them with my MacBook again.
    Now the problem:
    About half of the songs cannot be synced anymore to the iOS devices. There is no system, which songs are not synced. Some are my own MP3s, some are buyed M4As, some are matched M4As. But there is more: The same song can be synced to the iPhone, but not to the iPad and vice versa. The behavious seems to be completely random.
    Software versions:
    Mac OS X 10.7.3
    iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    iOS 5.1
    Yesterday I upgraded both devices to iOS 5.1.1, but the problem persists.

    Now I deleted all settings and data from my iPad, restored from backup and tried to sync all music again. Now most of the titles are synced. But there are still about 10 title, that do not sync.
    If I browse for them on the iPad (in iTunes) the information shows the following:
    Size: Stream
    Data rate: 256 kbit/s
    The song in my library is an MP3 with 192 kBit/s. So this information is completely wrong.
    For me it seems, like the music library on the iOS devices got screwed up. The question is, how can I reset my music library without losing all the other data on the devices?

  • Ipod Touch won't sync after updating iTunes

    I updated my iTunes and now my ipod touch will not sync, it says that the ipod is synced with another iTunes library when it is not, is there a way to get it to sync?

    With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
    - Make a backup in iTunes by:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
    Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.
