Can't sync or back-up 3gs with itunes 10.5 w/out uninstalling and re-installing itunes

We had two 3gs iphones and had no issues with syncing phones but since upgrading to 10.5 and me getting the 4s, can't sync the 3gs without un-installing and re-installing itunes. As soon as I do that, then I can't sync the 4s and have to go through the process all over again otherwise I  just get an error message. On a side note, haven't been able to download digital copies of movies to itunes since the upgrade.

i get a cant sync data error message try again later, it happens if i un-install itunes for the 3gs then it happens for the 4s and vice versa

  • The AniWeather add-on moved from the add-on tool bar on the bottom to the menu bar up top OVERNIGHT WHILE I WAS ASLEEP. I can't get it back to the add-on bar. I have uninstalled and re-installed, and it always goes up top now.

    No other details really. I was asleep and aniweather was in one spot, I woke up and it was in another. How do I get it BACK to where it was?!
    Obviously, I'm using the FF4 Beta.

    Status bar is hidden by default in FF4. You have to make it visible manually. Check here:

  • Can't Sync ATV1 3.0.2 with iTunes 10.2.2 (Snow Leopard)

    Can't Sync ATV1 3.0.2 with iTunes 10.2.2
    I want to move all the content on our AppleTV back to the main system library attached to our iMac and after turning off streaming, I can't find any way to sync the Mac with the ATV.
    The only way that I can find to make the ATV show up in iTunes' device list is to start them go to Settings > Computers > Add A Shared iTunes Library from the ATV menus, but that just put puts us back into streaming mode.
    I can't find a way to get the ATV to show up in the iTunes device list and then set up syncing.
    HELP!!!!!!!

  • Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.
    there is a FAQ on Nik site regarding problems with their installers.
    a guess.

  • I can´t sync my iPod 3rd Generation with iTunes library

    Hello, I´ve been trying for a while to sync my iPod with my iTunes library on my PC. It does show up on Windows as a drive and iTunes seems to know there is a device plugged in but then a message appears: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because an invalid response was received from the device" I´ve tried several solutions, including: restarting the iPod Service, restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, emptying my Temp directory and restarting and changing my device´s Drive Letter. On rare occasions, when I give it another try, I manage to get the iPod recognized, but when I enter the iPod menu, the sync button appears grayed out or if I can click it and attempt to synce the iPod, it seems to happen in the computer, but no changes are made on the iPod. I´ve tried syncing only music and only "selected music and tracks" but no setting seems to be transmitted to the iPod. The iPod shows the "charging" icon but never the "syncing" icon. I hope somone can help me. I have also tried syncing over Wi-Fi, and in the iPod, I can see the Pc but it appears grayed out.
    And, to my outrage, random songs have been dissapearing from the iPod randomly. It sounds weird but maybe it is because of iOS 5. I have an iPod 3rd Generation and iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). Both iTunes and my iPod say my software is up to date and maybe the iPod is too old for further updates but I only want to get my new iTunes songs into my iPod. Please somebody help me. Thanks very much!   

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Can't sync iPhone 5 or 5S with iTunes, Windows 8

    Having no luck syncing either an iPhone 5 or 5S with iTunes. Connect a phone and iTunes hangs. Followed KnowledgeBase article HT1923 to completely remove iTunes and other components, Restarted machine then ran CCleaner to remove all traces from the registry, restarted again, downloaded and ran itunes64setup.exe.
    During the install got this message:
    DifXInst64.exe - Application Error
    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application.
    iTunes will start normally but when you connect either phone the "iPhone" tag will appear after a few minutes and that's it, nothing more. Can't access the phone through iTunes and can't access iTunes.
    When I use the Task Manager to kill iTunes it indicates iTunes (32 bit) is not responding. Why 32 and not 64?
    How can I resolve this?
    Windows 8 64 bit
    iTunes 11.3.1.2
    iPhone 5 & 5S, both 7.1.2

  • TS4062 How can I sync my iPhone 6 wirelessly with iTunes?

    I have been syncing my various iPhones with iTunes for many years. I know how to do it. However, my iPhone 6 will not sync wirelessly with iTunes. It will sync with USB. It sometimes, but rarely, will sync wirelessly if I shut down the iPhone and reboot it, but most often it won't even then.
    My iPad will sync wirelessly with iTunes when it is plugged in to AC power. The iPhone 6 won't.
    Both my iPhone and iPad are running IOS 8.1.1
    My Macbook Air is running Yosemite.
    I have tried the various fixes posted online, i.e. turning off handoff, turning it back on, etc., turning messages on and off, etc. There have been others posted; I have tried them all. Nothing works.
    Is anyone at Apple listening?
    Thanks

    Actually it does not tell you how to sync the iPhone to Outlook for Mac!

  • Can't sync new Iphone 5S 64GB with itunes or recognized by laptop - total mistery!

    I'm not someone new with these things.
    But I must be cursed or something.
    anyway,
    ever since unpacking, my laptop wont recognize my new iphone 5S 64GB.
    I tried reinstall several times of itunes and assorted apple services and drivers, restarts of win7 64 bit ultimate and iphone too, no luck.
    I tried different ports for USB (without other things attached), different sides, different cables - nothing.
    All other ipads and iphones we have connect perfectly and are recognized in itunes.
    I even had a home 64bit version of win7 on same laptop, and it is recognized there, but I cant do anything with that version since its damaged.
    I tried all apple support steps in several documents.
    I even tried parallel connected iphones to see how the new one behaves in terms of charging (charging also doesnt work) and I got this:
    1. both iphones start charging on laptop restart.
    2. both stop charging in middle of windows loading.
    3. When windows are loaded, old iphone normaly recharges and is seen in itunes, new one not. New one from the box NEVER had option to trust computer.
    I hear a pluging and unpluggin sound when I connect my usb or lightning connector for that new iphone. but nothing further. I tried stopping and restarting services etc....
    Looks to me like my iphone remembers my laptop AND win instalation and doesnt want to connect to them.
    Please help someone????

    after having done all I can for the past two days, and finaly resorting to posting here (and planning to chat with apple support next),
    I restarted windows and hard reset iphone again (like 15th time) and got more sounds of connected disconnected only.
    Other new user got me also same issues.
    Then I again restarted apple mobile service, reinstalled USB driver and restarted windows and .....
    iphone was turned on by the power from turned off state.
    USB new search for connected devices gave a fail answer. (not found).
    I restarted service again and searched for hardware changes.
    and got my iphone safely tucked into my laptop and seen and recharging like a good, lille beawst it really is.
    (48 hours spent trying to solve this. Unbelievable.)

    When you uninstalled, did you remove just iTunes? Or did you remove all of these:
    iTunes
    Quicktime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    All 6 need to be removed before a clean reinstall can be preformed.

    How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

  • Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

    Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not  acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
    My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
    Please help me.

    I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
    You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
    When you go to the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
    After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
    It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
    I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
    The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
    The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.
