Basically the title says it all, but itunes will recognise my girlfriends phone!
It used to work on my phone but has just stopped. Any one any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks

Hi thanks for your reply, but it's still not working. I don't understand why it will recognise my girlfriends phone but not mine anymore!
I've deleted itunes and re-installed it etc and there's been no change. Any more ideas/tips?
Thanks

  • Can't Sync Songs Without Itunes Erasing My Existing Library ( PLEASE HELP!)

    Okay, My laptop had a problem and I had to restore my system to it's default setting. In which it deleted everything, Including iTunes. I downloaded iTunes again, and I didn't have any of my songs. So I tried to sync them back, But when I tried to sync it, a box popped up stating 'Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPod "Alexis's iPod" will be removed and replaced with songs and playlist from your iTunes library.' . I don't want to delete all my songs and have to start over. I Googled how to and many sites told me to go to the summary section and select " manually manage music and videos" under the options tab, then just drag and drop the songs into the iPod. So I went to the summary and did it. But when I tried to drag and drop the selected song, it wouldn't move, I think it may have to do with the fact that I had to resort to using "file sharing sites" (which I was very reluctant in doing, because of the viruses). I couldn't find the songs I wanted on iTunes so I had to find them on a file sharing site. So my question is, How do I sync my songs from the file sharing site and iTunes with out my songs being deleted?

    Apple's software doesn't allow transferring music from the iPod to a computer. There are unsupported programs out there that will do this for you, but most aren't freeware.
    Good luck!

    how can i sync ipad1/iphone4 with itunes wirelessly using airport extreme network

    Hi,
    This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

  • Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?

    Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?  I've been connecting my iPhone to each and it's causing problems for me with them being different, despite my purchases always being under the same Apple ID.

    The easy way to do this is to keep the library on an external drive which you can plug into either computer.  Of course this isn't always the desirable solution.  You can try routinely copying the library from computer to computer though this gets tiresome. 
    Of possible relevance:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music."  -  e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.

  • My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!  Help!

    My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! 
    How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch?  The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded.  How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
    Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
    I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
    Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck!  Help!

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • Since I installed ios 6.1 in my iPhone 4, I can't sync it with iTunes. Can annyone help me? I have already reinstalled iTunes and reseted the iPhone, but it still doesn't sync. Thank you.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • No app store present on iPod Touch 4th gen and can't sync apps in iTunes, tried restoring/updating

    I've tried everything I know to fix this problem with no luck so far, I'm hoping someone can help. Note that iTunes has been updated to the latest version (and my friend's computer is running Windows 7, if that helps at all).
    My friend has an iPod Touch 4th generation. A while back he asked me to help him get apps onto the iPod, and I discovered that the App Store on the iPod itself was nowhere to be found, nor can he remember ever having one. In addition to this, he can't sync apps onto the iPod from within iTunes - the option to sync in the apps tab is greyed out. The music/movies/etc. sync just fine, however. At the time, his iPod had iOS 4.1.
    After checking for parental restrictions in his iTunes and the iPod, I found that his iPod has a restrictions password set, which he doesn't know. His parents have no memory of setting restrictions and don't know the password, either.
    I read online that the only way to remove the restrictions password is to restore the iPod, and since this seemed to be a good idea anyway due to the odd issue with iTunes refusing to sync apps, we restored the iPod and updated to iOS 5.1 today. Unfortunately, the App Store is still nowhere to be found, and we still can't sync apps in iTunes. The iPod still claims a restrictions password has been set as well.
    I have checked and double-checked that no restrictions are set in iTunes preferences. My friend created a new iTunes account, so that shouldn't be the problem. While we're hoping to get both iTunes sync and the iPod App Store app working properly, right now he just wants to be able to get apps onto his iPod.
    Does anyone have any ideas why his iPod didn't come with an App Store app, why it still doesn't have the Store after restoring, why iTunes won't sync apps, or why the restrictions password is still set after the restore? I've honestly run out of ideas as to how to fix this.
    Before I posted this, I did a little more looking online about the restrictions password, which is apparently restored along with a backup. Neither of us were present during the restore (we had to leave for a couple of hours after the restore had been started), so I'm only asking this because I don't have his iPod or computer with me at the moment to test it myself - is there a way to manually cancel restoring from a backup during the process? If so, I need to restore the iPod a second time.
    In the meantime, any ideas about my other three questions?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Edit: His iTunes account is authorized, by the way.

    What exactly happmens when you try? Error message?

  • Is there a limit to number of devices you can simultaneously sync to one itunes account?

    Is there a limit (set by itunes or elsewhere) to the number of devices you can simultaneously sync to one itunes account/PC/Mac? Using USB hubs or other sync/charge devices?

    iTunes can only sync one device at a time.
    There is no limit to the number of devices you can sync consecutively with the same library.
    Each device can hold protected content from up to five accounts.
    Up to 10 computers and iOS devices can be authorised for automatic downloads of an Apple IDs available purchases (some items may only be downloaded once).
    Up to five computers can be authorised to each Apple ID at any one time.

  • My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

    My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over.  I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

  • HT1320 Can i sync a different itunes account to an old Ipod that was set up with a different account that is no longer active

    I have found my old ipod that I would like to sync to a different itunes account that it was not set up, how do i sync it to my current account.  The old account information is lost and do not have it

    If you used automatic syncing, an iPod syncs with an iTunes library, not to an account, such as your iTunes Store account (Apple ID).  So, if you still have the same iTunes library, it should still work with that library, even if you no longer have access to an "account." 
    However, it can only sync with one iTunes library at a time.  If it is currently set up to sync to an iTunes library that you no longer, you can set it up to sync to your current iTunes library.  But when you do that, the iPod's existing content is replaced by content from that iTunes library.
    If that iPod was previously set up using the Manually manage music setting (you dragged songs to it in iTunes to load it), instead of automatic syncing, it is NOT syncing to a particular iTunes library.  In that case, you can add new items to it from your current iTunes library.  But you cannot set up automatic syncing without replacing its existing content.
    You can post back to clarify your situation, and what you ideally want to do.

    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still.
