Auto Sync in iTunes for iPhone 3G

I have an iPhone 3G. Under summary > options, "automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" is grayed out so I can't select it. Can anybody tell me why?

You have to have contacts and calendar apps set up on your computer. The 3G and then the iPad will sync to those apps.

    Why not syncing using Wifi for iphone, touch and Macs to keep libraries and devices in sync?

    This really isn't the best place to give Apple feedback. It is suggested you go through the appropriate channels, and in this case that would be via the iTunes Feedback Page.

  • When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

    When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
    But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
    How do I figure out what is not syncing?

    Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you.  I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again.  To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

  • Auto-sync with iTunes

    Why would my iPhone stop wireless auto-syncing with iTunes when plugged into its charger?  It did auto-sync for a while, but does not any longer.  Manual wireless syncing is fine.

  • How do you sync your itunes to iphone simply?

    At one time it was really easy to sync up your itunes to iphone. You had a list of music with a tick box next to it and if you didnt want a song you simply unticked it and then pressed "sync". The same was true of the apps. There was a special tab for apps where you could remove or reinstall the apps on your phone.
    After whatever update they did, i managed to stop my iphone just filling up all the memory on my phone with songs i hadnt chosen. I mean, who thought that was a good idea? what if i heard a song I wanted to purchase or saw an app i wanted? No space to get it, not the smartest idea for an update.
    But I digress, back to the syncing issue. There is still the music list with its little tick boxes but there is also this weird tab that has lots of different boxes that have things like the artist names, the album names etc and they all have individual tick boxes next to each artist/album.
    Now the problem is that 1) there is no select/deselect all which is a MAJOR pain 2) I am totally unsure what I am meant to tick and what I am not.
    What I did was untick all the songs on the music list I didnt want but what itunes has done is loaded up my phone with all the songs i didnt want plus a few randoms that i did. Is it that ticking the boxes means you dont include them now? And whats that album/artist/playlist tab about? Does checking/unchecking boxes there overrule the ticks you made on the main music page? It's getting pretty infuriating.
    Also, I can see all the apps on my phone. Why does it not show on itunes? At one time you could see all your stuff. Now, it says I have 4 apps. I dont and if itunes just looked at my phone it could see i have more than 4.
    So in summary:
    1) How do I sync my itunes to iphone simply?
    2) Does the album/artist/playlist page overrule the main music tab? (if so, why would anyone do this?!?!?)
    3) where are my apps and how can I manage them?

    I take it this isnt somewhere where apple reps reply?
    No. This is a user-to-user forum, where your fellow users help you. Since those users may be on the other side of the world to you, it may take a while before anyone responds. Occasionally, Apple employees do respond, but that is the exception and their responses will usually direct you to articles that they think will help you.
    So, since I have not yet installed iTunes 11.2, I'll go out on a limb and assume that things haven't changed that much.
    On the Device/Summary pane is the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos. Is that option still on?

  • Itunes sync: 44 items could not be synced see itunes for more information

    I have an Iphone 4s, itunes lates version 10.5.1.42 running on 32 bit widows 7 pro.
    I was having problems with my music playing on my phone after upgrading from the 4 to the 4s.
    My music would just refuse to play at times. One solution I tried was to go into the music tab of my iphone in itunes and uncheck "sync music" in order to remove musice completely; then to recheck it and resync music......my resynced music plays fine, the PROBLEM is itunes refused to sync any of purchased music that i purchased on my prior device!!  My phone displays this error: "itunes sync 44 items could not be synced see itunes for more information" yet itunes displays no messages -
    I've tried to individually select these songs, albums - make additional playlists...nothing works.
    Please help asap.

    Were they purchased with the SAME Apple ID you have registered the phone with?

  • When i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

    when i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

    no, and i have spent my entire spring break with a dead iphone 4s, no access to my iphone mail accounts, can't get into my text service app, and can't get into notes. oh yeah, all of my music is gone. thanks a bunch for this wonderful upgrade.
    i am never upgrading again until i am sure all the bugs are out. this is a waste of my time and what's the use of having a cellphone if it only stays charged for two hours?
    one of the apple forums said that iox is "expanvie" and gave us tips on how to lengthen battery life. i was already doing all that stuff. so it seemed to me that apple was just taking the stand that  ios is just more "expansive." this is lipservice hogwash. if that is the case, then we need to get new phones with batteries strong enough to accommodate running these power apps and updates.
    my iphone makes a **** good coaster though. right now i am just ready to start sending smoke signals!

    Modular77:  With respect the dialog on the iPhone 'XX items could not be synced.  See iTunes for more information.' , would you happen to know where to look in iTunes?  I looked in all the places that seemed logical to me. 
    I am, however, asking only for future reverence, as the initial sync which generated the error dialog was done via USB, and almost immediately after the USB sync, I ran a WiFi Sync—two in a row in fact—both initiated from the iPhone.  Both WiFi syncs completed successfully with no error dialog. 
    I then ran another USB sync initiated from iTunes on the Macintosh, as was the first sync which gave the error. This second USB sync also completed successfully with no errors.
    I think someone in this thread mentioned non-AppleStore products or DMR issues which I think could not have been an issue in my case, as I was running the sync to install updated Apps from the AppStore, and additionally had deleted some music and movie items to make sure there was room for the App updates. Nothing was added other than the recently downloaded App updates from the AppStore. 
    iPhone3GS  iOS 5.1.1 build 9B206. 
              Developer Profile enabled.  iCloud enabled.
              32 GB “disk.” About 1.5 GB free after sync.
              iPhone NOT jailbroken
    MacBook 13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008 (NOT Macbook Pro)
         Lion 10.4.7 build 11E53.  2 GB RAM.
    Thanks for any info or advice.  Problem IS now solved, but it absorbed a lot of time to reach that point.

  • When I try to download songs an error screen of "1 item could not sync see itunes for more information" comes up

    When I try to sync songs onto my iPhone an error screen comes up that reads: "1 item could not sync, see iTunes for more information" I've looked on iTunes but there is no message or error box there. The songs will go to my main music library on iTunes but not my personal library or iPhone. I can see the songs that I've tried but they appear in gray and will not play. PLEASE help!?

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?
