Can't sync iPhone/iPod to iTunes after update?

After the latest iTunes update and I am not clear on how to sync my iPhone or iPod to iTunes. When I plug either of them in they charge but do not start up in iTunes at all. I have automatic syncing turned on but nothing happens. In the previous versions whenever I would connect a device a bar would pop up where I could change my syncing options for that particular device but not since the update. I do not like this new iTunes at all, I don't think it's very use-friendly and I'm still working out how to navigate it so maybe I'm just missing it altogether. Any help would be appreciated.

I found removing everything apple related and re installing itunes fixed it for me...
just go through your add/remove programs and ANYTHING apple related including bonjour   then re install itunes and connect your device.
Hope this works for you.

  • I can't sync my iPod to iTunes on my mac or iPod.

    I have a ipod touch 5th gen and i have enver had problems with it until now, I can't update any apps nor can i sync my ipod to my mac. I don't think its my apple id because I can sign into itunes on my mac but not on my ipod. When I plug my ipod into  my mac it shows that my ipod is conencted but when i press sync it says " This ipod cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start". When I try updating apps on my ipod it says "cannot connect to itunes store". My ipod is up to date and so is itunes on my mac, I have 16 gb of free space left and have reseted my wifi 3 times but I don't think thats the problem.

  • ICal calendars no longer syncing to ipod using itunes after Snow Leopard

    Help! I upgraded yesterday to the new Snow Leopard and I can no longer sync my calendars to my ipod 5G. I do not have an iphone and this is the only way I can see my calendars. Did Snow Leopard "update" the calendars so that iTunes can no longer see them? I get the error message that there is no calendars available to sync, when indeed, I have 10. Please help!

    Hi, some more information...
    I worked with Apple on the phone for three hours, to no avail.
    the troubleshooting steps are as follows:
    1. deleted from HD/username/Library/Caches the "com.apple.ical folder"
    2. deleted from HD/username/Library/Preferences the file "com.apple.iCal.plist"
    3. deleted from HD/username/Library/Calendars the "Calendar Cache" file
    4. removed and reinstalled itunes
    5. "restored" ipod to factory default settings
    6. exported, deleted, and re-imported all calendars (individually)
    7. plugged in ipod and tried to sync calendars - still not working...
    This issue has been escalated up...
    After seeing many posts with ical issues with Snow Leopard, I think I am not alone...
    None of this has helped

  • Cannot sync iphone 4 with itunes after new update to ios 7

    Help..
    After update to IOS 7 on my Iphone, and Itunes update to 11.1.1... I am unable to sync my Iphone 4.
    Itunes detects my iphone and does a clean backup. It also starts sync and shows upto 5 steps. Reaches the last step and keeps on working on that step in itunes. The sync indication on the iphone is lost during this last process.

    Any suggestions.. Pls help me...
    Thanks to all in advance..

    Problem solved
    I restarted iTunes !

  • How or can you sync older ipods with Itunes Match?

    How or can I sync my second generation IPod with ITunes Match?

    For iPods, iTunes Match only works with iPod touch, because it is an iOS device (like iPhone and iPad).  Even for iPod touch, it must be 3rd or 4th gen (running iOS 5 or later). 

  • Can't Sync iPhone 4 with iTunes 11

    Hi Everybody.
    I recently bought a macbook pro 15" (OS Mountain Lion) ad i tried to sync my iPhone 4.
    However, iTunes (latest version) can't sync because it reports that my MAC isn't authorized (but I have authorized it wit my id apple without error messages).
    Every time I try to sync, iTunes stops synchronizing when importing the apps and if I try to transfer purchases, itunes tells me that some of them do not have the required permissions (and it is right because these apps are downloaded with another idapple).
    What Could I do?
    Thank you for your help

    First thing to do is close all programs and reboot - open iTunes and see if you can sync.

  • ITunes can't sync photos from my iPhoto after update

    Hello, after update my iTunes can't sync my photos from my iPhoto. I'm with Mavericks and iTunes 11.0.5. Thank you and have a nice day

  • HT1386 can you sync iphone music to itunes desktop? I am getting warned that the library will be erased?

    Can you re-load/sync the music library to a newly loaded/blank itunes? I am getting warned the library will be erased?

    The warning is correct, take it seriously.  If you have a new computer, you need to transfer the iPhone files to it from your old computer.  See these links:

    Hi, I've been experiencing problems with my iPod touch 5g, the problem is that when I updated it to iOS 7 some of my songs were deleted, so I went to iTunes and unsync it, but now I can't add the music again, iTunes says waiting for changes to be applied.
    I've tried everything restarting the iPod, restating my mac, restore the iPod to the factory settings, everything and none of them worked
