A solution for idevice not detected/synced with itunes (11.3 ios 7.1.2 also here)

hello !
-the problem i had :
all perfect, but since last itunes my iphone 5s was not detected anymore by itunes 11.3 or 2 (who cares... but me)
updated my ios to 7.1.2 then tryied again to sync WIFI-USB to iTunes... => fail !
(i thinked about wiaitng for a next itunes and/or ios from apple to fix that... but i wanted to fix fastler.)
(Probelms some have : they reboot their iphone with "connect to itunes" coz their iphone want to be "RESTOREd" on tiunes when plugged... => THERe NO MIRACLES for that... wait ios update n/or itunes update so..)
ALWAYS SAVE YOUR idevice USING ICLOUD !!!! IT SAVES ... ALL !! (includings apps data, but the apps themselves ! USE IT ! i done this...)
-a Fix i have done that worked perfect for me :
my iphone so was working perfect after ios 7.1.2 update but could not sync...
so i activated icloud sync on it .... used the "sync to icloud - SAVe NOW" ....
and...
(crossing fingers..)
i restored my idevice !
(/!\ SINCE my iPhone 3G 16 Mb i never had any problems... or just a bit but always tried to solve by using google or YAHOO..)
so i restored ALL my iphone LIKE AS LAST STATE ! (i had just to DL all apps, but it's automatik....)
games saves, apps saves ? (probly too... will test...), all photos docs etc.... where on icloud it was just 1,2 Gb data (not including apps again.)
-iTunes was not detecting my iDevice (iphone 5s) :
for this i searched (hadly) on this forum... and found this solution that worked for me :
(Itunes can't recognize my IPhone ) <- click topik link
if i remember well ... (i am on PC win 8.1 x64 bits) ...
you must desinstalle :
"APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE", "iTUNES" and "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" and (.... 30 sec plz...) .. and " APPPLE application support" also...
(not sure but check this link just up here ^ ....)
voilà...
->
THINK ALSO, YOUR iDEVICE USB CABLE MUST BE "CERTIFIED FOR APPLE" .... i bought a chineze cable for 5 € did not worked...
i bought a "BELKIN" on Amazon it works flawless... (coz it's certified apple, even it's not an apple... but solid one)
->
don't forget to reboot your system before relaunching the itunes if u need reboot...
i hope i helped somes here...
iDevice are REALLY NICE i love them but sometyimes they caprices.... (sciences is unperfect)...
-> dont let it down (this topik) this can serves... well !
peace...

500+ items can not be synced with iTunes..?

After syncing with iTunes, my iPhone 5 says "514 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information." Where on iTunes do I find this information? How do I know what is not syncing and figure out how to get it to sync? I'm confused...

I see now after the Sync, a !triangle appears next to my mini in iTunes. Clicking on it brings up a list. Sure would be nice to be able to Save that list, since I can't fix anything while that list is showing! And once you close it, the warnings disappear along with the triangle. I ended up using Grab to save the info.
Reset Warnings also makes the triangle go away. Along with all that info.

New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

Hi abbeyesque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

Restoring autorachived outlook notes breaks sync with itunes

Using most up to date itunes and OS for 3GS.
Using MS exchange on desktop to sync mail, contacts and calendar, on Windows.
Using Outlook 2010 on windows desktop.
Outlook notes were syncing well with itunes without a problem until I turned autoarchive on in outlook.
Outlook autoarchived some of my notes. When iphone synced, these notes disappeard from iphone.
So, I disabled autorachive and restroed the notes from the archive folder to the active Outlook folder (which also syncs with MS exchange).
This did not help, itunes was not recognizing the returned notes AND stopped sycing any new notes?
iMExchange app can see the notes and syncs wirelessly with them.
Any solution to restore syncing ability?
Tried changing itunes settings under info-other-syncnoteswithoutlook and info-advanced-notes: deactivating, reactivating, overwriting all notes.. no success

I'm having the same problem. the link above pertains only to contacts and calendar, which are already syncing fine. it's the notes that are not syncing for some reason.

Why does my ipod touch not automatically sync with itunes

When I connect my ipod touch to my laptop it says that it has sync'd on itunes but does not sync the music that I have downloaded onto my ipod touch!! I am going round in circles with the troubleshooting manual as the page on itunes that I have looks totally different to the page that is described in the manual. My laptop is new and Windows 7 and I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. My ipod touch is new as well. Can anyone help?

Apple TV (1st Gen) not fully syncing with iTunes 10.4

Today i discovered that after syncing my Apple TV with iTunes 10.4 after a few weeks nearly all music and movie files have vanished from ATV.
ATV has the actual firmware and was working fine till last iTunes update.
Syncing shows up about 60 music files ... instead of >10K
I have tried to delete the computer from ATV which erased all files and re-connected ATV with the controlling computer, no change.
All other devices like iPad and iPhone are still synced with all files.
Internet Access from ATV works fine, playback of all synced files works fine .... but ATV simply does not sync all files.
Any ideas ?

Yep. I am sure
I have also marked all files, rebooted Mac and ATV, nothing.

IPhone 3GS will not fully sync with iTunes 9.2

Just installed iTunes 9.2 (twice) and I cannot complete a sync of my iPhone 3GS. It seemingly stalls at Contacts or Calendar (varies on each attempt). Prior to this, my syncs would be speedy fast (less than 5 minutes.
Any ideas of what I can do to fix?
Thanks in advance

I was sync'ing fine with iTunes version 9.1.2 and then I allowed Software Update to download and install 9.2.
Then iTunes downloaded iOS4 and did the install/restore process on the iPhone. Somewhere after that I get the message during the sync process "The iPhone (my name) cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified".
I deleted all the backups listed in iTunes, I unchecked the Sync box for everything so that the phone is basically empty, no Apps, music, movies.
It still won't sync.
Any ideas?

Brand new iPod will not fully sync with iTunes

Howdy! My issue seems to be similar to the other thread "new 5G iPOd formatted for windows, no Movies tab????"
I purchased a new 30GB iPod yesterday and plugged it into my iTunes (7.0.2). After naming the iPod I set it to upload all my iTunes content to the iPod. Then the registration process comes up. Once I tried to complete it I got an error saying that the iTunes Store was having a problem and I should try again later. So, I waited until the upload was done and checked my iPod. None of my videos, audiobooks or any purchased content had been uploaded.
Having only owned a first generation iPod I was ignorant of what I should see in my iTunes window with this new one. I only have four tabs: Summary, Music, Podcasts and Contacts. On my Summary page the "Update" and "Restore" buttons are grayed out and the Software Version and Serial Number display as n/a. AND it was formatted for Windows (what's up with that?).
I went to the wife's computer and did a restore and a software upgrade (Version 1.2) and saw all these tabs that my iTunes didn't have! I was elated! Plug it back into my computer and I still have the same problem, nothing has changed. At least now I'm past the registration problem as I completed that on the wife's computer. When I try to manually move purchased content to the new iPod I get an error saying my software needs to be upgraded.
So, I believe that iTunes is confusing my new iPod with the old one. But, at least on the old one I was able to upload purchased content, if not video and photos. I did name them differently, so there shouldn't be any confusion there. One thing I find odd is that my old 5GB iPod has software version 1.5 where my new 30GB iPod has version 1.2. This must be the root of the problem.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

that sounds like the ipoddriver.kext has gone skunky on the Mac. see:

Solution for Ipod not beeing recognized by iTunes

Since 2 months or so I tried to figure out why my iPOD nano (2nd gen) isn't recognized by iTunes. And today I found the simple answer: Windows gave it the Driveletter B: when I changed it manually to R: (I have a lot of drives) it was suddenly recognized. It seems iTunes doesn't recognize devices with the old two Floppy-drive Letter A: and B:. So If your Ipod isn't recognized by your iTunes check if it got the wrong drive-letter.

do you know how to reset it? if you do then do that,when you see the apple logo hold the "select key" (the circle in the middle) and the "play/pause" button--> then connect it to your MAC or PC.

IPad Mini Retina not syncing with iTunes

My iPad Mini Retina has not been syncing with iTunes for some time.
I have reset it - by holding down the home and power key. I am using the new Macbook Air 2014 - because it has crashed on a few occasions it has also been restarted recently.
I am running IOS 7.1.2 on the Mini and 11.3 on the Mac Air. It has stopped at various parts but the last few times has been stopping at Step 4 of the sync. A few people seem to have had this issue but I have not found a resolution yet.

My iPod 4G will not sync with iTunes?

It has not been syncing with iTunes for a while now, but I have not really bothered with it because I haven't needed to sync new music or apps since I can download apps directly from the iPod and I do not buy music off of iTunes yet because I only use CD's. Just installed the new iPod software update today, hoping it would somewhat fix the awful battery life. I also restored the iPod to factory settings. It still will not sync. Any ideas? Really wish it would work right...

Ifthe problemis that iTunes does not see the iPOd try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Otherwise, tell use happens when you try to sync. Error messages?

HT1212 Ummm.. I have a question what if you have NOT previously synced with i tunes?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
