    Hello lenmin,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

  • I upgraded to a 4G today from a 3G... how can I get my phone to sync with Itunes now

    I purchased a new phone today... how can I get my 4G to sync with my Itunes so my music and apps will transfer onto it.  Do I restore my back-up or set-up as a new phone (these are the two choices I am given)?

  • I can't get my phone to sync anything.

    In iTunes I have all my apps updated, I have over 7.7GB left of space, and I can't get my selected playlists, music or apps to sync.  On my computer screen it shows that it should be syncing.  Hoever, on my phone it is not adding anything. The updated apps are fine on my computer. My phone still says they need to be updated.  It says it is syncing my music, shows that I am using up my phone's memory, but then when I go to play the music on my phone there is no music there.  Any hwlp, suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you used this computer and only this computer to sync the iPhone previously?
    Are you sure your Apple ID and password on your iPhone are the same as you're using on iTunes on your computer?  Are you sure you have "authorized this computer" in iTunes for that Apple ID and password?

  • I can't get my phone to sync with my PC get error -50

    Can't get my iphone 4 to sync with pc. get error message -50

    Here are some troubleshooting steps (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error50):
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • I can't get my phone to sync to iTunes. I also cannot get all of the music I already bought to come up on my new computer.

    Most likely your phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock.  When you restored your phone, the hack was removed and it re-locked to its original carrier.  It will now activate and operate only with that carrier.

    Thanks for the help.  The restore seems to have solved the problem.  I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • TS4062 Have just upgraded and can't get my apps to sync from iTunes on pc to iPhone

    I have just upgraded to iPhone 4s and can't get my apps to sync fr iTunes on my pc?

    For some reason the above questions I asked are designated as solved. They definitely have not been solved!!! I cannot get my calendars to sync between my iPhone 6 Plus and my iMac program iCal. Apparently I don't know how to use this forum. I hope someone will be able to understand my message and have an answer or suggestions on how to take care of this. It's important that my calendars on my phone and computer match at all times. I have missed appointments because of this.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.
