Can't sync becaus can't frind drive???

After installing the 3.1.2 update, when ever I try to sync my iphone 3gs to itunes 9.0.1.8 it tells me that it can't sync because the disk could not be read from or written too... i have even gone thru rebuilding my pc and installing a fresh itunes. I iphone was restored to factory, what gives? Any ideas???

I am having the same problems ever since iTunes 9.0.1.8 came out. I have been on the phone with 3 different apple support people and 2 trips to the apple store and no one has been able to help me. None of the apple help works. I have reinstalled iTunes at least 5 times and I have reset my iPhone 4 times. If anyone can help with an idea that is not from apple I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Can't Sync because can't change Photo Stream attributes

    I can't sync photos from my new iPad.
    I get "You do not have enough access priviledges to permorm this opereration.
    I tracked the error to the Photo Stream folder.
    It will not allow me to change the read-only attribute
    I get You require permission from WINCTRL-F711E89\Acer to change this folder.
    If I try to delete or change the read-only attribute in the Uploads subfolder, I get a simple Access Denied message.
    I tried searching Google for WINCTRL-F711E89\Acer with no luck.  I tried searching my computer for that file or folder and found nothing.
    I have no idea what it is.
    I did not have this problem with the slightly older iPad I just gave to my father when I bought this new one.
    I tried turning off Photo Stream on the ipad with no luck.

    I wasn't sure what is meant by "using" (e.g. green light on or HDMI function selected) but my husband turned the function to component to watch regular TV via TIVO and the ATV started syncing. Guess I now know what "using" means with my setup.
    Thank you for the reply.

    Try

    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • I just updated to ios5 but now can't sync because it's telling me my "other" section in the overview has grown to 10.2gig?!  What does that "other" section in the overview include and how can I reduce it to get my phone to sync??

    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!

    Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • How can i sync ipod to external hard drive ?

    Help needed please, brief history,i have an ipod classic and using windows, friend came to tidy up itunes said he would delete doubles and he lost 3/4 of itunes in the process (not good) so ipod still had 150gig of songs on, but itunes was down 70gig with lots of tracks missing,after that i didnt not connect pod to itunes incase it removed tracks from ipod.
    Now another friend (better) has transfers all contents of ipod to an external hard drive, and i have wiped itunes completly, thought it best to start a fresh, my question is when i turn my external hard drive(J Drive) on with all the music files how can i sync it to itunes to get everything back into itunes from the external ? i have gone into preferances and advance and changed the sorce to J Drive but it isnt finding anything...... please help

    Do you want to keep your tunes on the external drive of have them back on your computer?
    If you want them on your external drive, do this:
    Go to preferences > advanced in iTunes. Ensure that 'Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' is NOT ticked. Now, in windows file manager, navigate to the folder where all your music is stored on your external drive. Drag this to itunes. It should import of the your music's data, but keep the files on the external drive
    If you want them on your computer: Do the same but tick 'Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library'
    You should now be good.

  • Can't Sync after IOS5 Upgrade - Device driver software was not successfully installed

    I upgraded to OS5 and now can't sync. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and rebooting and still get an error saying Apple Mobile Device USB Driver was not successfully installed. This is on Windows7 64bit Anyone else had this problem?

    I am still having issues completing a sync with my iPhone4 regardless of which USB port I use. I started the upgrade to iOS5 and the update to the phone completed. However, I am unable to get the phone to sync to load all of my apps to the phone. I have tried unstalling and reinstalling iTunes, including deleting any files which may have been missed by the uninstall. I have repeated this process over 5 times using IE, Chrome and Firefox just to make sure it was not a driver issue. Every time, when I connect the iPhone, I get the message it is installing the device driver for iPhone, following by the error mssage "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver Failed" Does anyone out there have any ideas?
    Thnaks!

  • HT1296 Can't sync because connection to iPhone was reset

    Just brought home very first iPhone (5S). 
    Already had iTunes installed on PC.  When connected, iTunes sees PC but then says "The iPhone XXXXX could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset."
    What does this mean, and does anyone know how to fix it?

    I am having this same problem. I too, already had a version of iTunes on my computer (win7 os). I had just purchased my iPhone 5S and was syncing it for the 1st time. While attempting to sync, I was adding music & and a couple of apps. Shortly after I began syncing, iTunes started to update to version 11.1.4.62. I have not been able to sync and receive the message "The iPhone XXXXX could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset.". I have tried many of the suggestions people have offered on this site. Nothing has worked. Everything possible on my phone has been reset.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • Authorizing Computer but still can't sync and can't access to old Library :(

    Hi,
    I have a few questions (trying to not mention issues) regarding Itunes:
    When I-tunes is installed on a new computer and authorize, can you get access to your old library of music and apps?
    I just got an Iphone, I am trying to sync it with my new computer but a windows appears asking me to authorize my computer otherwise my apps and music would be gone. When I click authorize, it mentions my computer is already authorize but I still can't sync my Iphone because it re-bump the windows "please authorize your computer" (Vicious Circle Grrrrr..... I din't say yet, I-inception )
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance,
    Sakizori

    Not sure what you are asking.
    An itunes account is a user name and password.  You can sign into your account from any computer that has itunes.
    What is it exactly that you want to put on the computer?  Your library?
    What does "will not let me" mean?
    What did you try?
    What was the result?
    Error message?

  • After installing ios5.01 on 3gs can't sync and can't play music

    Updated my 3gs yesterday and part way through the update I got an error message so I restored my phone but now when I connect my phone to my computer it says set up your phone then gives the options of setting up as a new phone or restoring. I have tried restoring a few times but it hasn't changed anything. So now I can't sync my phone to itunes to put back the apps and music on my phone. The music I have put on from itunes on my phone won't play any sound. I have tried all the songs and none of them work but sound is working on everything else
    Does anyone have a solution for this? I am so frustrated!!!

    In that case you need a third-party application to get the job done. Senuti is very popular:

    If you search you can find others that are just as good, and some are even free.

  • Last night, I plugged in my nano to sync and could not pull up the summary page. It will connect and charge, but will not pop up as a "device" in left column. I can't sync. how can I fix this?

    Last night I tried to sync my IPOD nano, and could not pull up the summary page. It would connect and charge the IPOD, but did not pop up as a "device" in the left column, so I could not click it and get to summary page and sync new music. Same laptop for a year, same IPOD, synced 3 days ago with no problem. Now all of a sudden, I can't sync. No message or other window pops up to tell me if something is wrong. How can I fix this?
