A Sync Issue Not Even Apple Seem To Have An Answer For?
Hi,
Since day 1 with my iPhone (UK release date) ive been having syncing issues. Ive tried every single syncing tip on the web but cannot solve them and today, as the request of Apple i took my phone back for a replacement...but the same thing with the new one.
Basically my phone syncs fine if you make changes...eg if you tick or untick a box and click "apply" it will sync all changes, put all music, videos, settings on etc. But if you just click sync without ticking or unticking boxes (or changing anything) or you leave "auto sync" on, then the iphone will freeze up and reset itself while itunes tries to sync.
I believe at this point is when iTunes tries to make a backup of my phone, which it has never managed to do - the work around is to never have a backup and also tick or untick a box to get the data on my phone, this is annoying if you make a change to media, say an album cover or something, as you have to click on other boxes for itunes to think you've changed something for it to sync to the phone - otherwise the crash occurs.
So to recap ive tried reinstaling itunes, deleting itunes prefs, repairing permissions, hiding all the itunes media, resetting iphone, restoring, turning off and on etc (none of this applies now as ive changed iphones so its not a phone issue) restarted computer, shutdown computer, tried different cables, tried different usb ports, deleted history in isync, and various other things..
Does anyone have anything more left-field as this is very annoying, so far i haven't tried it on another system because of having no data to sync on them, but i will try on another macbook in the house, and i will try on windows vista itunes on this very macbook and see if that works (ruling out a hardware error)
Any help much appricated as id like to have auto sync on, not have to worry about accidently hitting sync, not have to use workarounds and most of all be able to get a backup of my settings on the computer! Im just suprised that an Apple computer is having problems with an Apple phone!

How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto
Your photos are gone. When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone. In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos. Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app? -

Is this the most up to date article on up-dating the iPhone OS - is there anything about the problems relating to the up-date to OS 6 - my G3 no longer works and Apple seems to have gone to ground. No Genius bar appointments available for a week!
iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store -
I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, JackHi Jack, great help so far!

My iPod Touch 4G just shut off one day while i was using tap to post. tried everything and nothing is working not even iTunes! Is there any hope for me? my iPod is my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh by the way none of this happened until i updated to iOS 6.
I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

When I enter an appt on my ipod touch it does not sync back to ical. Only those appts I enter on ical sync to my ipod touch. Anyone have a remedy for this?
You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?
Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
Kind regards,

i have just made my apple id. i have made this for itunes. after making my account i have problem with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do now? to proceed further? plz help me!
How did you create the account ? If you followed the instructions on this page when creating it then you should have got the 'none' option : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. on a computer's iTunes, if currently signed into an account then you logged out of it, and you then found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
And then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
When I tried that process to create an account a few days ago I got the 'none' option on the payment details screen.
If you didn't use that process then you will need to create a new account using it (the instructions won't work with an existing account). -

Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to connect an iPad 3 to an epson sx 445? I can't find a solution anywhere. I've tried getting help on the Internet, going to numerous apple agent shops and asking people but no one seems to have an answer.Please help!!!!!
The AirPrint compatible list shows:
EPSON Stylus SX445W
Is this your printer? If so, you should be able to connect it to your wireless network and use the AirPrint function to print.
This may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 -
