Can't synch I phone 4, or I pad
Hi, I am unable to synch either my I-phone (4S), or my I pad to I tunes. When I try, it says required software not installed, and I should uninstall I tunes and reinstall 64 bit version. I have done this multiple times, and updated apple drivers (apple suggestions), and still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7. Thanks in advance. Dave
Temporarily disable or turn off your computer's security software (firewall, anti-virus, etc). Try the download/upgrade again, and remember to re-activate security software.

This is the computer that you use regularly to sync your iPhone?
If a PC, check this link.

If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?
If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -
I created a new Itunes playlist and when I synch my phone it is not visable as a playlist on my phone (Iphone 6), but it does appear on my computer as a playlist on my phone. How can I get it to be visable on my phone?
Hi,
It sounds like there may be some disconnect between the phone and the computer. Could be a number of things going on, but one way I've been able to fix this issue on several occasions is by completely removing all of the music from the iPhone (Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage > Music > swipe 'All Songs' to the left and tap 'Delete') and then re-syncing it from iTunes all at once. Be sure to disconnect your phone from the computer and close iTunes first. Keep in mind that any songs that are on the phone but are NOT in the iTunes library will not be synced over after you delete them from the phone. If the songs on the phone were purchased from the iTunes Store you can transfer them to the computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to iTunes then selecting File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from [user's] iPhone.
After deleting all songs from the phone, go back into Settings and check the music storage again to make sure everything was deleted. If the 'Music' app is not listed anymore, then you should be good to go. Just to be sure, you can also check the Music app itself and make sure no songs appear there (if songs appear with cloud icons next to them, turn off 'Show All Songs' in Settings > Music and then check the Music app again -- no songs should appear).
Once you're absolutely sure all songs have been removed from the phone, restart the iPhone, plug it back into the computer, and let iTunes sync. Give it time to sync everything over at once and make sure the sync doesn't get interrupted. Everything you've set to sync should sync over properly.
If it still doesn't sync, there may be a corrupted file in the iOS installation on the phone or in the iTunes installation on the computer. It's more likely that the issue is in the phone's software, especially if you ever installed an iOS update over Wi-Fi (through the Settings app). I'd recommend making an iTunes backup and restoring the phone to factory settings through iTunes. Then set the iPhone up as a new iPhone and test the syncing -- the playlist should sync over properly. If not, Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support. Then test again.
Once you get the syncing working with the phone set up as new, restore the phone from your iTunes backup and test the syncing again. Now that the iOS files have been reinstalled, hopefully the corruption is gone! If it still doesn't sync properly, the corruption may be somewhere else (in a song in the playlist, in some app data in the backup, etc.). That could be harder to pinpoint, but don't worry about that for now. Start simple.
Good luck! -
My wife has a new I-pad2. i have I-phone synched on a mac laptop.

Can I synch phone book from my i-Phone5 to MackBook Pro Laptop using Itunes site or is there another way?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
A NAS will not work, any computer will, but a mini would be a good choice due to its low power consumption.
Another alternative would be to use iTunes Match. -

Both the ipad and iphone are designed to be used with a computer. Neither is a stand alone device.
Both are intended to be synced to your computer.

Can't delete photos from iTunes synch on phone
Is this a normal thing on an iPhone 4S that I cannot find the bin icon to delete photos or photo folder that was synched from my laptop? I have to delete the folder from iTunes and then synch the phone again. I keep looking for the bin icon on each photo or on the folder on the phone but I cannot find it. I went to edit and couldn't find any delete function.
Photos synced to iphone from your computer are deleted the same way - the sync process.
The iphone simply mirrors the selected content of your computer. It does not act as a storage device. -
I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,

First, I use T'bird and love it. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible.
Now to my questions: I want to group my contacts as "Family", Friends", "Work" etc. How do I do it? Then, i synch T;bird with my gmail account. Will the groups translate? And finally, my gmail syncs with my Android phone (the only reason I have gmail). Will the groups sync with my phone? (Okay, Okay, the phone isn't a T'bird issue. Still, if anybody has an answer????) Actually, can I sync my phone with T'bird without getting gmail in the middle?
Thanks in advance.To synchronize your address books, you need to use an add-on in Thunderbird. I like gContactSync; others speak highly of Google Contacts.
Both will allow whatever groups you set up in Google's Contacts to be echoed as Lists in Thunderbird.
And your Android phone will be more than happy to sync with Google's Contacts.
I consider it worthwhile to run a gmail account purely for the purpose of managing an address book shared between my phone and Thunderbird. I didn't want my whole TB Address Book on my phone; most of it is made up of Contacts for whom I know an email address, but no phone number, so they wouldn't be especially useful on the phone. Hence a separate address book can be populated just with Contacts chosen carefully for their relevance to the use of a phone. Of course it can store email addresses too.
To attend to your last question, probably not. Few phone manufacturers offer support for Thunderbird in their synch programs. Most of them are dire IMHO. Nokia's PC Suite was OK but they have been trying for years to roll out an inferior substitute program, Ovi Suite. Samsung devices come with Kies which is near useless.
