Can't sync my  iPhone or iPod to itunes anymore- please help!

These had been working fine, but now when I connect either decive to the USB ports on my computer, I hear the "beep" but itunes does not start up atuomatically and when I open it it does not acknowlege the devices.  I just uploaded the latest iTunes update but it was doing this before and the update did not seem to help.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I just bought my wife an iPad as a birthday surprise and now I'm worried we won't be able to connect it to iTunes.  Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

    From tt2:
    In brief...
    You can sync as many devices as you like to a single library.
    Up to five computers can be authorized for your account's protected content.
    Each device can hold protected content from up to five different accounts.
    Managing apps purchased with more than one account is a chore.
    A combination of up to 10 iOS devices and computers can be authorized for automatic downloads of your purchases.

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

  • I can't sync my iphone 4s with my G5 anymore

    I can't sync my iphone 4s with my G5 anymore.  This is the G5 with the old processor.  The G5 now doesn't even recognize that I have plugged the iphone in to sync it.  Instead, there is the following error message on the iphone: "This accessory may not be supported."    I have already tried to reboot both the G5 and the iphone but there's no change.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's not possible to sync a device running iOS 7 with a PowerPC Mac, but you may be able to download content to it directly from the iTunes Store servers.

  • Can i sync my iphone and ipod's to more than one computer?

    Can i sync my iphone 4 and ipod's (we have #) to more than one compute? so we call all share the music.
    Also can you inport music from an ipod to itunes? (music has already been deleted from the library)

    Switching the computer will erase your device and replace the content of it with the content of the new iTunes library. But you can share your music by using Home Sharing. iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing
    Purchased music can be copied back by using "transfer purchases" from the iTunes menu or, if not purchased from iTunes, by using 3rd party software http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • Can i sync 2 iphones to the same Itunes?

    Hi There
    I have my own iphone with itunes on, but have downloaded most of the music from Itunes Wifi on my mobile.  Is it easy to get it back onto my pc into the itunes library? 
    Also i am using my mums old iphone to go travelling (instead of taking my own) and so would like to get all my music from my itunes onto this one, is it easy to transfer over?  would i just use the usb and connect it to my laptop, then would it sync with my itunes? i have no idea what to do!!!

    Hey,
    1) Music Brought on the iPhone will be synced across to your Computers iTunes,
    2) You can sync two iPhones to a single iTunes, when you plug your mums old one in just click this is a new iphone on the new iphone wizard which will happen when you plug the device in for the first time, then click sync all your libary will be synced across to the phone.
    Do 1 first if you want all the content you brought on the new iPhone to go accross on the old one (if it has enough space)

  • I keep getting an error message ''dbghelp.dll is missing.  please reinstall itunes''  did that 3 times and same results.  can't sync my iphone or even open itunes

    i keep getting an error message ''dbghelp.dll is missing. please reinstall itunes''  did that 3 times and same results.
    i can't sync my iphone and i can't open itunes
    how do i resolve this issue?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows OS dll.
    Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:

  • Can I sync my iphone with 2 different Itunes Library without erasing data?

    Hello,. I would like to know if its possible to sync my iphone with two different Itunes library without data from first itunes library getting deleted when sync with second itunes library, (I mean, at least the music and videos)
    Thanks!

    iOS devices can only sync with one library at a time.  To sync with a new library, you have to remove the current libraries content.
    An alternative would be to move content to one computer (using an external drive or homesharing), and then sync with the library you choose.

    Hello, Jose. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If your MacBook Pro has an Intel processor and at least 1gb or RAM, you can upgrade your machine to the minimum operating system requirements for use with iTunes 11.

  • CAn You Sync Two iPhones to the same iTunes Account?

    Has anyone been successful in syncing two iPhones to the same iTunes account. I am the main user of our Mac and my wife just uses it for email and internet browsing. Basically she uses my user account and therefore we share one contacts list, one calendar, one iTunes, and both use the same Mac Mail with our own email addresses. Both also want to use MobileMe.
    Thanks,
    trippj

    Yes.. It is a very difficult process.. First, log into 1 computer with your account and Authorize that computer to use the iPhone. then Sync your phone.. Log out and go to the second computer.. login and Authorize then sync your phone.
    It worked for me

    You need to Copy iTunes from Your Old Computer to your New Computer...
    See Here
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...
