My iPhone 4 will no longer sync with my itunes on my MacBookPro
I recently updated to iSO5 and now my iPhone 4 won't automatically update with my itunes when I connect it to my MacBook Pro. Any idea what might be going on? I've had no problems doing an automatic sync before. Thanks so much!
I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or information as to why?

Iphone 3G will no longer sync with MacPro
my iphone 3G will now not sync. I get this: The iPhone "TM's iphone" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to.
Has anyone seen this? Is the "disk" the computer (MacPro 10.6.8 running latest itunes) or the iphone 3G 4.2.1 o.s.?
Thanks.Hey Allan,
The funny thing is that I don't get that option on my mac in prefs.
I get it on my windows itunes (which is where I set-up my account and sync most things)
I use my mac purely to sync with ical for a back-up for my calander and address book.
Had no problem before a day or so ago?
thanks! -
Help! iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes library
My iPhone thinks my iTunes library is not the one it is used to syncing to anymore for some reason, and whenever I try to sync music or applications, I get: "Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with another iTunes library?" I don't want to erase everything on my phone, since there is a lot of data there.
This seems to have happened because of the following sequence of events:
1) My external hard drive was disconnected
2) iTunes couldn't find my music, even after I reconnected said hard drive
3) I followed this instruction to recreate my iTunes library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
4) This partially worked but it couldn't find all my music
5) I added my Music folder and reimported
Now the applications section is blank (no applications) and I can't seem to sync my music without in threatening to erase everything. Is there some recourse for this without erasing everything?The issue was, for future readers of this post that I had moved my database file as well as the XML file. The database file must contain all the applications as well as the information as to whose iphone it is, so I put that back, and everything seems to be working now as planned. Thought I would put this out there for people with this issue in the future.

Hi, have just updated my iphone 4 and Macbook Pro.
The two will not syn.
Have tried, soft reset,of iphone,( relaced Dec 2012), shut down MacBook overnight,
In the itunes section, on opening info, after ticking boxes for sync calendar and contacts, the word APPLY does not appear,
So what next?
Please help a technophobe
despairrepairFirst, SyncServices has nothing to do with iCloud.
1. Calendars in the On My Mac or On My iPhone/iPad/iPod category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google, will not sync with iCloud.
2. Back up all data, then take all the applicable steps in these support articles:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
Nearly all sync issues should be resolved that way. Please make sure you've taken all the steps and tested adequately before continuing.
3. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar. Quit Calendar.
4. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.
5. Launch Calendar. Your calendars will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check them.
6. Import the calendars you exported in Step 3, if any, by double-clicking the files.
7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in Step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Hey guys. Can you please help me? My iphone is not showing that I own ANY music anymore. It will not sync at all with my Itunes ever since downloading ios5. It states my computer is not authorized but it is...... I had no problems with my ipad, all of my music transferred just fine. I have no idea what to do now with my iphone except maybe a restore???
You all are much smarter than me. ;-) Can you help? Thank you.
HeatherGuys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -

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?

How come my iPod touch AND my iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes?
for some reason the past few days ive been trying to back up my iPod touch and my iPhone 4s on itunes and its not discovering it. ive done all the steps on the support page. ive reinstalled itunes, ive shut the computer off and rebooted. rebooted my phone and the ipod and still nothing. ive tried multiple usb ports that are on my laptop. ive went into computer management and its still not seeing anything. i know the cord is fine because its less than a week old and when i plug it in, the devices are charging. someone please help!
Did you do eveyrthing in the following:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including removing and reinstalling all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above include a link for XP
Do you have another cable to try? The charging and data use different conductors/contacts so it may still charge with a bad cable. -
HT1386 My new iPhone 5S will no longer sync to my iTunes library on my computer.
When I first bought my iPhone 5S a couple monhts ago, my music libraray came over just fine from my old Iphone. And I was able to sync to my computer iTunes libraray for updates (new songs and playlists, etc,) a couple times. But now, sync don't work on the new phone. I can still sync to my older iPad and iPhone 3 S just fine, but not t my new iPhone 5S. New songs bought on iTunes and imported on CD's do not (for the most part) show up on the iphone after syncing. Also, new l playlists and changes to current lists will not update (though a small minority of changes do appear). To repeat, I can still sync everything just fine from my computer to my old IPhoone 3S and to my ancient iPad, buit not to the new phone. I have tried every imaginable combination of WiFi and iCloud settingson or off, and syncing the entire library or just specific playlists and such. I am at a loss.

Please accept my apology if I sounded elementary to you. One never knows what level of expertise he is posting to. My thought based on the message I'm focusing on here is that IF in fact you are able to sync just fine with ancient devices but not your new device I would be thinking strongly about updates to either itunes or to your OS.
Good luck. -
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 ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes. When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod. What do i do?
Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?
iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini. It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older G5 tower. I am using an iMac. Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office. I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine. All had been well until yesterday.
Thanks for any help.I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

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. -
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,
