Why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? I have just switched from Vista to Windows 7.

I 'upgraded' from Vista to Windows 7 and now iTunes won't recognize my phone or iPad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes; I have gone into device manager to check that the drivers for the phone are up-to-date and, apparently, they are. Still nothing. HELP! please....

Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.

  • Why won't my iPhone sync to iTunes anymore?

    I've had my iPhone for a few months, and after the last two updates to my iPhone software it hasn't been syncing. iTunes detects it, I can drag and drop things as per usual... but it gets to the last stage of the sync - "copying files" or something of the sort a and it will stay on that stage for HOURS! I've left it plugged in for several hours (even overnight) and there is no change. Is this an issue I can resolve somehow, or do I need to get into a genius bar and have them take a look at my device? (I'm really hoping to avoid doing so, because I've spent money purchasing apps and added numerous contacts since my last backup -- and haven't been able to complete one since being unable to sync to iTunes. I dont want to lose all of my recent items!)

    Hello Georgia,
    I would be concerned too if music was not syncing over to my iPhone.  I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
    First, if you are trying to drag the music over to your iPhone in iTunes (manual syncing), verify that "Manually manage music and videos" is checked:
    You can find more information in the full article:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    You can also try syncing automatically and trying to resync.  You can resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again:
    You can find the syncing steps in the following articles:

  • Why won't my ipod sync with iTunes?

    I have a first gen iPod Touch, running iOS5.1.1
    When I connect to iTunes, it is recognized, and I can manually sync.  However even when syncing, no new music or photos move onto the iPod.  It just rattles through the sync stages & nothing changes
    I used to think this was a memory issue, but I still have 1GB free space & I am not trying to add so much that it will completely fill (as far as I can tell)
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    1 GB of free space is not much.
    You must have a 3G iPod since those can go to iOS 5.1.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
    First verify your sync settings
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Next backup and restore from backup via iTunes
    Last, restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • HT1386 why won't my ipod sync with a song I just purchased on my computer?

    Itunes shows that I purchased a song, but it won't sync with my ipod.  The song shows up in my purchase history.  How do I get it on my ipod?

    Try:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod        
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • My iPhone calendar was empty after lion upgrade.  Why won't my iPhone sync with ical?

    After upgrading my imac to Lion and my iphone4 to OS5, my calendars won't sync and my iphone calendar was totally empty.  Why?

    Are you certain that the computer does not see the iPhone?  By default the iTunes Sidebar is off, so maybe turn Sidebar on and see if your iPhone is listed.
    Other questions:
    What OS was on your old computer and now the new one?
    Did you copy over your "iTunes Library.itl" file from the external drive to the new computer?

  • Why won't my 4s sync with iTunes 11.1.4 ANYMORE!

    Hello, so my phone has worked "OK" for the last year and a half.  I sync it probably once every other day to my itunes on my PC.  I am using ios7 by the way.  Well, starting last week, whenever I plug my phone or my iPads in to sync, the devices pop up the little message "Trust This Computer? Your Settings And Data Will Be Accessible From This Computer When Connected."  So Obviously I click on "Trust", but when I do, the computer makes the sound that it was just ejected or disconnected and it shows absolutely nothing on itunes.  I have re installed itunes 3 times, rebooted both my phone and computer, used different cords, different USB ports, checked through the settings, read up online, and tried the wireless syncing (but it is all grey on the devices and computer so I am even unable to click on it or try it.) They randomly once while I was out of town did the wireless sync, but my phone wasnt even plugged in to a power source and I wasnt trying to do any syncing at that time.  I seem to have run out of ways, options and patience, so I am on here asking YOU!  I am into various Art careers that require me to have updated devices with pictures, music, notes, dates, etc... on them constantly, and this is really setting me back.. big time! So if anyone has any experience or knowlege with this error, I would highly appreciated your assistance! Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!

  • Why won't my iphone sync with Outlook.  It will not even give me the option to click on Sync Calendar

    My Iphone calendar used to sync automatically with Outlook on my PC.  Now, for some reason, it will not sync and when I try to click on Sync Calendar, it will not let me do it.  Nothing happens.   Help!

  • Why won't my iPad sync with iTunes?

    It is stuck on the last step. i have restarted the computer and the iPad several times. it says "waiting for changes to be applied" and step"7 of 7" OR "step 8 of 8"...at the bottom, it shows in blue my audio capacity, however the iPad says there is no music in the library. at first it just wouldnt sync a few songs i bought on iTunes and showed them as shaded, now its taken all my music off the iPad and wont go past this last step. any further suggestions?

    Are you on wifi or 30pin to usb? (no difference to the prob, but a possible workaround later can be done if connected by cable).
    In the summary tab of your device in iTunes is your device set to Manually Manage in Options at the foot of the page.  And/or: -  Have you got a tick in the option 'sync only ticked songs and videos'?
    Can you confirm what options for syncing you have under the tab Music (same tab line as where it says Summary, Info, Apps,)
    Regards, Ct

  • Can more than 1 iphone sync with itunes?

    This isn't a problem, but a question.
    1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
    Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
    if so then...
    2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
    On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
    The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
    Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
    Thanks, and happy pranking to you all
