Can't sync 3GS w/IOS 5,No rimgtones

Since upgrading to ios 5 my 3gs wont sync,ether wired or wireless it backs up starts the sync prosess then cancells and quits,ringtones are gone from phone but are listed in itunes(sync ringtones is checked)music and audiobooks wont sync. i've restored the phone but still stops at step 4 of 5 and quits syncing,also does anyone know how to merge two apple id's,some things like my itunes account is on one id and other things like icloud are on my mobile me id, i'm wondering if this is confusing the system?

What type of problem are you having...?
And Yes that is sometimes necessary...
I was having a problem with iTunes 10 2 2
All I did was re-download it and Installed over the Top of the old one...
Fixed my problem...
Here's a Link to the latest version of iTunes for Intel Macs:

How can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5

how can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.

No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

Can't sync 3gs, iOS 5, XP, Outlook 2007

I upgraded my 3gs last night from my Mac at home. Everything went fine, nothing lost.
Today I tried to sync the calendar on my work PC, Windows XP, Outlook 2007 after upgrading to the latest version of iTumes. I have been doing this for well over a year with the old OS ans iTunes with no problems.
I understand I will not be able to do this over wifi with an XP machine, but even with the cable connected it just goes through the motions, saying it is syncing, but the new appointments in my Outlook do not show up on my phone. This is pretty much a one way symc for me, Outlook is always up to date & I just move those events to the phone.
My music is synced with my home Mac and is not on my work PC. I only sync contacts & calendar with the PC.
Any ideas. I feel like I must have an incorrect setting somewhere, but can't find it. Sync with this phone over wifi is not checked in iTunes and I have turned off wifi on the phone.

Unfortunally you are not the only one. I use the 3GS, outlook 2010 and updated
to ios5. It will sync new agenda items made in outlook to min week cal, BUT new made items in weekcal DOSN'T show up in outlook.....
This is a MAJOR!! problem

Can't sync audiobooks after IOS 5 upgrade.

After IOS 5 upgrade I am unable to Sync my iphone 4 either by WiFi or connected via USB.
Itunes becomes un responsive after "Determining tracks to sync". Have been able to sync only after disabling Audiobooks sync.
SO far have done the following.
- Changed the USB cable
- Re "Keep Library Origanized"
- Created new playlist with 1 audiobook.
Itunes crashes everytime.
Have been able to sync my ipad 2 & nano with no issues.
Anyone have any ideas before I toast my iphone & start from scratch?

Nothing syncs if I have sync audiobooks turned on.
First I didn't know what the problem was and I even wiped my iPhone and started from scrach (what a pain it was).
Nothing. No music, no Apps, no ringtones, no audiobooks.
I installed some apps via the app store, and some audiobooks with audible app.
But the rest still didn't work.
Then I clicked "Tranfer purchases from ...'s iPhone" on iTunes and some of my music and ringtones started to transfer to the iPhone!! Partially. I had to click it again to get the rest of the music and ringtones. But the audiobooks didn't transfer. Not even from a playlist.
After I unchecked Sync Audiobooks, I managed to get some apps transfered to the iPhone but they're still "Waiting" not "Loading." Every time I click on sync a little bit of the apps transfer, but then their status goes back to "loading."
My biggest problem is that I have non Audible audiobooks. These I don't know how to put in the iphone.

Can't sync my iPod (ios 6.1.3)

This happened around 6 months back or so, I couldn't sync my iPod. At first I thought it was just a small thing, so I didn't do anything about it until now. I use my Macbook Pro to sync my iPod. I just installed Mavericks on my Macbook with iTunes 11. Is the iTunes the problem? I don't know what is the problem, can anyone help?

I forgot to mention that whenever I try to sync it, it says that my Mac is not 'Authorized' when I authorized my Mac when I first got it. I tried to unauthorized it and then reauthorized it and syncing it again, but it still shows that my mac is not authorized. Pls help!!!

Can't sync well to IOS 5.0 devices

I have a couple older iPods on an older IOS version and they sync fine, but an iPod Touch and an iPad 2, both running 5.0.1, are having all kinds of problems. Maybe it won't be recognized, maybe it will lock up iTunes, maybe it will lock up halfway through syncing. I'm on iTunes 10.5.2.11.

For anyone with this same problem, I had to plug my iphone into another computer and restore it from there. I then could plug back into my computer and restore from my backup so I didn't lose any of my stuff. I still don't know what was wrong but it was a pain in the butt.

How can I sync Calendars under ios 6?

All my iCal calendars have disappeared from my iPad 2's Calendar since upgrading to ios 6. It's now totally blank. I've restored the iPad, to no avail.
Meanwhile weird things have started happening on my Mac (running Snow Leopard). Whenever I sync the iPad with the Mac, iCal generates close to 300 "Untitled" calendars. Fortunately a kind Suppport Community contributer has provided me an Applescript for getting rid of them, but naturally I'd rather everything worked as it did under ios 5.
I'm not using iCloud. Syncing is strictly through iTunes.
How do I fix this, please?

I have just downloaded the following free app for the iPad, and it seems to be working well so far:

Sync 3GS iphone to OS X 10.3.9?

Can i sync 3GS iphone to OS X 10.3.9 (with itunes 7) in any way without upgrading OS? Is there a workaround or patch or some way to hook them up to download music to my iphone from my computer?

You're out of luck. You need at least OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 8.2 or better.

Can I sync my iPhone 3GS with iTunes on two separate computers?

I have a PC desktop with iTunes set up and have already done a sync with my iPhone 3GS (IOS 4.2.1). I recently acquired a PC laptop (Windows 7). Is there a way I can sync the content (contacts, calendar, photos - no tunes) with iTunes on the new laptop (while maintaining the iTunes on the desktop)?

Yes, you can do this, but be sure to uncheck iTunes content syncing on the other computer. Each sync item can be synced with only one computer.

How can I sync my notes from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro?

How can I sync my Notes from the iPhone 3GS running IOS 6.0.1 to my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.2?

The most straightforward way (assuming your iPhone 3GS is running iOS 6, which it should be) is to use iCloud to house your contacts.
Then it would be trivial to have your contacts synced and maintained between your MacBook Pro and your iPhone.
P.S.: Sorry, I said contacts but meant notes. iCloud would work for both.

HT1386 Help, I can't sync my apps on my 3GS phone to the newest iTunes software. On top of that, my purchased apps under my apple ID seem to have disappeared! I want to transfer them to an iPhone 4S I just inherited, but I can't!

Can't sync Outlook 2007 Calendar on iPhone 3G, iOS 4, iTunes 9.2, WindowsXP

I did upgrade my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.0 and iTunes to 9.2. Now I can’t sync Outlook 2007 calendar. Contacts and notes are ok.
I did try to sync on Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP2. I was unable to sync calendar on both computers.
I had this problem before with iTunes 9x. I was able to fix it creating a new PST file and copying all folders to this new file.
Now with iOS 4.x and iTunes 9.2 it doesn’t work. I did uninstall iTunes, clear the Windows registry, and delete all Apple folders. I also downloaded again iTunes and install it from zero. It didn’t work at all.
I also uncheck, check, recheck the Advanced options in iTunes to delete, doesn’t synchronize calendars, and contacts on iPhone… nothing works.
What else can I do to fix this pain? Any suggestion?
Daniel

Same problem here. Just bought an iPhone 3GS, downloaded iTunes 9.2 and it crashes my Outlook 2007. Outlook simply stops responding, and I have to kill it. Won't even start in Safe Mode. I have to restart the computer to revive it. Next time I start iTunes -- CRASH!
I bought the iPhone because I wanted to sych my emails, calendars and notes. Do I have to return the iPhone now?

HELP: I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few mins, iphone will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. I have to hold the "home" "off" button to restart the phone.

Dear all, please hel!!
I sync my iphone ios 4 to another iphone ios5, sync was completed but after a few secs, the iphone with the IOS 5 firmware will auto restart and freezes at the home screen which I can't unlock. It will then freeze for a few secs before repeating the restart phase again and again and again.
To solve this issue, I have to hold the "home" + "off" button to restart the phone. Afterwhich, it will restart the phone. However, although my stuff are still on the phone, all my sms are gone.
Can someone please assist urgently.
My data was transferred from another iphone 3GS which is running an IOS 4.0.1 to another 3GS running ios 5.0.1
Is there a serious compatibility issue with both firmware?
Please help.
Thanks!

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

3GS on iOS 6 will not sync most of music via cable

I upgraded my 3GS to iOS 6, and most of my music will not sync via cable. I can check it all in iTunes, but the space allocation bar in iTunes does not change (on iOS5 I only had 1G free, now I have 8 G free), but only about 1/4 shows up on the phone. I did full restore--no change. I checked fill free space with songs--no change. Help! It might be that only music bought from iTunes is syncing and music I ripped myself or bought from Amazon is not syncing--i.e. my enire pre-iphone collection.

Ok solved my own problem--but this is squirrely. In itunes, at the bottom of the "Summary" tab for your phone, is an "Options" section. For some reason, having "Sync only checked songs and videos" checked here only allowed 47 of 1900 songs to sync--even if they were checked on the music tab. Unchecking this box and managing music from the music tab alone fixed the issue.
