After OS 8.1.3 install today on iPhone 5s. Now, I can no longer sync with iTunes!

I have latest versions of Yosemite and iTunes on Macbook Pro. This morning I installed OS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5s. Ever since, I am unable to sync the phone with iTunes. On each attempt, the sync gets caught in the last step, resulting in an endless cycling of the "Waiting for changes to be applied". Endless. No success. VERY FRUSTRATING. These updates imply "one step forward", but often result in three steps back (a.k.a., headaches and problems). Rant complete. Any insight into a fix? Please help. Thx.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.

Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

Just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5

I just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5. Any thoughts? It went from accurately displaying my content to showing most of the content as "Other" and now says it can't sync because it can't determine the apps to sync.

Hi,
I have sync issue, too, but a bit different. When connecting my iPhone 4 and hitting the sync button in iTunes 11.0.5 (5), the synch process starts, gets stuck at step 5, then eventually finishes without any error message, but content (TV series / movies) are not updated on the iPhone.
I already tried to power cycle my MacBook (Intel 13" running Mac OS X Lion) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.3).
Was working perfectly before upgrading iTunes. Anybody has a solution to this yet?
Thanks in advance.

TS4268 After following instructs from apple to set up iPhone as new phone can I re-sync with my iTunes to get all my contacts back

after the new IOS 7 update, my 4s would not activate facetime or imessage. I called apple and walk thru a simple reset. waited 24 hours and still no activation. I followed Apple's online trouble shoot and reset phone and set up as a new phone. Can I now re-sync with my itunes to get back all my lost contacts, notes, music, etc etc?
Thank you

usually when you set up as a new phone it will ask you in the options if you would like to restore from last back-up, what i would do is, start again by deleting everything and setting it up as a new iphone again and after that on your iphone it will go through steps of setting it up again such as 'enable my location' and so on. when it comes up on the last option 'back up from last back-up' press the option you would like and then on your computer while having it plugged in go on prefrences on the itunes tab at the top, and click backing up and it will show you your recently backed up files, click okay after pressing the option you would like on your phone,,, this will only work with ios5.

After upgrading to Imac updating Iphone and Ipad I can no longer sync in Itunes

I have newly upgraded to IMac and love it! I also traded in my IPad to IPad Air and updated my IPhone from 4S to 5C. When I was using a Windows PC I had all my gadgets synced to ITunes (this includes a MacBook Pro and two IPods, Yes I'm hooked). Now I can no longer sync any of my gadgets to ITunes on the new IMac.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

apps are stored in
C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
their extensions are .Ipa you can try doing a search on your harddisk
unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems

HT1386 After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

After updating to iOS 5.1.1 I can no longer sync to iTunes

Any error messages or numbers given during the sync process? Does your phone come up in the device list?
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing a reset.

HT1386 After installing iOS 6 on my New iPad and trying to sync with iTunes on my iMac I get the message "Unable to sync; unknown error (1140)". Restarting iMac and iPad did not help! What to do?

I installed iOs 6 on my New iPad. After that every time I try to synchronize the New iPad with my iMac I get the message: "This iPad can not be synchronized; an unknown error (1140)".
What do I have to do to get the iPad sychronized?

All my iTunes content is on the new Mini, but my iPad is trying (unsuccessfully) to sync to the iMac.
How do you know? Nothing identifies which computer it is syncing with...
Is the iMac still on the network?
Have you connected the iPad to the Mac mini via USB and sync'd it?

Help! Installed Bootcamp on iMac and now I can no longer access my Mac OS!

Hi ALL,
I'm hoping someone can help... I installed Windows 8 64bit on my 27" iMac and downloaded all recommended drivers. However, now I can only load the Windows partition.
I've tried restarting my computer and have pressed 'option' when restarts and the only harddrive option available is EFI Boot and if I click that it just loads Windows 8.
I've never used Bootcamp before and I'm slightly concerned I have somehow wiped my Mac OS off my computer. As I type I am on Windows Internet Explorer - it's a dark time!
What I'm asking is how do I get my mac hard drive to appear / my mac OS to load back up and not windows?

You will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Iphone 3g no longer syncs with itunes after 3.1 update.. need help

after updating to 3.1, my phone went into restore mode.. after it finished I noticed that the device would show up in tunes under devices but will no longer sync. It will start to verify then stops and goes back to my home screen

Same problem here. It shows up under devices but there is no "page" for it. No tabs, music, apps, nothing.

I downloaded pics to my pc and after all my music was gone on my iPhone. I have tried repeatedly to sync with my iTunes but it does nothing. The last time said it didn't have a disc to sync to my iPhone. Ver confused as to why it's doing this. Any thought

I downloaded pics to my pc and after all my music was gone from my phone . I have repeatedly tried to sync to my iTunes but it tells me it cannot be synced to my iPhone. What's going on? Any suggestions?

Yeah everything is gone for good. The apps won't be a problem. You can just redownload them. For the music find a program that copies the music from the iphone to the computer. Then add the files to itunes ans sync.

I tryed to sync my brand new iPod to update it after I had everything setup and the iPod froze up and is stuck on the "Syncing with iTunes" screen and will not update, so now it won't do anything. What do I do?

This really confuses me

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After my ipad WIFI upgraded to 5.0.1, I can no longer sync with my PC?

Recently, the new wireless upgrade worked wonderfully. My ipad is correctly upgraded as of 11/13/11. For the life of me, I can't figure out why my ipad will no longer sync with Itunes. I realize that iCloud enables me to push various backups wirelessly, but I still want to sync with my iTunes in order to add playlists and content that will not reside on the cloud.
When I say that it will no longer sync with itunes, I mean that I cannot get either an iPad or iPod Touch to show as being connected or synced with any number of apple USB cables conntected to my PC and iTunes. Hard resets, computer reboots...since my upgrade, I can no longer connect these devices. Can anyone tell me why I can't sync?
Thank you in advance

Minor update: I have multiple PC's in my office. This same iPad and other apple devices properly work and sync with their connection to this other computer. Both computers are running the 64bit iTunes and both have Windows 7 64bit OS running on both machines. I tried deactivating firewalls and even deleted the iTunes with a fresh installation with no avail.
Something is keeping my Apple mobile devices (iPods, iPads) from being recognized within iTunes. However, they all are properly recognized by my PC.

IPhone no longer syncs with iTunes after Leopard upgrade - HELP!

Not sure if this is the exact forum, but I just upgraded to Leopard and did all the proper software updates and now when I connect my iPhone 3G - iPhoto launches to load the pics like my camera normally does, but when I open iTunes my device does not appear. I tried rebooting both the phone and the computer and I am on iTunes 8. If I look in preferences for devices in iTunes my phone is listed, but it does not seem to want to sync.
Any and all thoughts are GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Mike

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.
