Can no longer configure iPhone & iPad in iTunes

Hi,
I ran into the following problem after upgrading both my iPhone and my iPad to iOS 5:
When I connect any of the two via USB to my Mac, they do show up in the iTunes device list, but the right pane - where one would configure, for instance, what to synch, remains empty. Both synch (via USB only) when I initiate the process from the Settings > General but it seems not via WiFi.
As a consequence, I am no longer able to manage what I want to synch - Music, photos etc.
I am running 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 ...
Thanks in advance, Jurgen

I finally solved the problem by connecting the iPad to another Mac (without synch'ing anything). Re-connecting it to my iMac, I was suddenly able to see the options in the right pane again, rather than just being able to un-mount. Here the post from the user who reported this solution first: link

  • Can no longer find owners ipad on itunes to download my photos.  ????

    Can no longer find "owners ipad" on itunes to download my photos from my computer.  Have friends who have the same problem.

    Photos are not downloaded from iTunes.
    Import them from the iDevice to your computer as you would with any other digital camera and leave iTunes out of the equation.

  • Can't see my iPhone/iPad in iTunes

    Hi everyone,
    I have two problems - possibly related - not sure.
    First, for a long while now, every time I launch iTunes I get the following error:
    "The registry settings used by iTunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Now I haven't installed CD burning software and I don't really use iTunes for that, so I just sort of let it go.
    Recently, though, I have found that iTunes no longer recognises my iPhone (or iPad, come to that). I've tried reading a number of posts on this. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. I tried uninstalling and importing back my library and reinstalling. I've tried restarting the iphone. I've tried deleting the iPhone from device manager and allow it to load up again.
    All, with the same two issues. The registry error and the no show on iTunes.
    Sidenote: I read one post that suggested I add an upper filter to a particular registry entry. I backed up my registry first (of course) and then tried it. I did solve the registry error, but it also created a driver error on my DVD Rom. So I removed the upper filter and I was back to square one.
    Any other suggestions? I haven't done a reset of the iphone yet. I'd like that to be my last option, since I have so many apps on both the phone and the ipad that organising them all into folders on the device is painfull and takes forever. (Even through iTunes this is painful. Any software out there that will do the job quickly?")
    Thanks in advance for any advice you might swing my way.

    Please help!

  • Since upgrade to IOS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).

    Since upgrade to OS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).  I have restarted both devices, turned off and on "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over WIFI" and restarted WiFi.  WiFi is operating (iPad has no SIM).  What next?

    I'm also affected by this bug in exactly the same way as you.
    Some users have had success by closing iTunes, enetering (on OS 10.9) settings --> network --> edit locations, then create a new location with the same wifi/network settings. Then restarting iTunes.
    Others have had some success by editing settings --> iCloud --> de-selecting keychain
    neither of these fixes have worked for me.
    It appears that the iPad can "see" iTunes running on my iMac because when I open settings --> general --> 'iTunes wifi sync', "sync now" is greyed out if iTunes is not running. When iTunes is started, "sync now" is enabled but just doesn't work. Nor does the iPad appear in iTunes.

  • My MB Pro is no longer syncing my iPad in iTunes. It did in the beginning, however I had to change my MB Pro password. Now I get a permissions error message trying to sync: "error storing your authorization information on this computer." Can you help?

    First I would just try deleting the SCInfo folder, restart your computer, open itunes and see if you are still getting the error, at that point if you are it is a permissions error with the computer specificaly and not in itunes.

  • TS2756 since ios6 update I can no longer connect my ipad to my iphone hotspot

    I updated both my iphone 4 and ipad 3 to ios6.  Since then I can no longer connect my ipad to my iphone personal hotspot.  I did the reset network on both devices.  It did work for one session but then I could never get it to work again.  Has anyone found a fix for this?  Should I call my carrier?

  • I can no longer sync my IPad to my PC.  There is no access to sync on the ITunes home page????

    I can no longer sync my IPad to my PC.  There is no access to sync on the ITunes web site?

    I'm sorry, but your statement doesn't make sense or I am totally misunderstanding you. That's is certainly a possibility.
    You sync with iTunes software on your computer, and there is no link on the website where you can go to syc. With iTunes, the application must be installed on your computer. If you have been syncing with iTunes then you know this and there must be some lack of communication between us.
    Launch the iTunes application on your computer and then connect your iPad to your computer with the cable. Your iPad should appear in the devices button in the upper right part of the iTunes window. Click on that in order to select your iPad.

  • How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD?

    How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
    Any ideas or solutions?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
    Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.

  • HT201412 Voice Memos quits/can no longer sync iphone 4 - linked problem

    Voice Memos quits after two seconds of opening AND can no longer sync phone iphone4 to itunes, tried resetting, but don't want to restore phone to factory settings as I have important recordings I want to use. Help!!
    I've taken itunes off computer and downloaded it again (suggested by other forum). No joy...
    The two problems seemed to happen simultaneously.

    diesel vdub - thanks for your comment.
    As noted in my post:
    "Another problem is that I have thousands of music files on my iPhone, and only 180 songs are now showing up in the iTunes library. The majority of songs in both iTunes library and the music library on my iPhone are not purchased - they come from a large CD collection."
    The hesitation comes from the fact that the number of songs that show up in my iTunes library is a small percentage of the number songs that were previously in the iTunes library.  My understanding is that if I sync the content of my iTunes library to the iPhone, I will end up losing thousands of songs that are currently on my iPhone but not in iTunes.
    If I could find where the other songs went (and why iTunes is no longer seeing those song files) then perhaps I could load those back into iTunes and the risk of syncing will disappear.

  • How can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    how can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    Hello Laurien123,
    Can you tell me a little more about your situation?  I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.   You authorize your computer to sync or download iTunes; you associate your iPhone with your Apple ID, not with iTunes.
    Please reply if you can with a little more information, and I'll do what I can to help.
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
    Have a great day!

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

  • On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?

    Hi pedro109,
    If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article
