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.
Result i cannot sync new songs on my iphone. I also have an ipod and it sync well with the itunes. NO PROBLEM WITH IPOD..
Any suggestions.. Pls help me...
Thanks to all in advance..

Problem solved
I restarted iTunes !

Nano problems after not turning it off for 24 hours

I forgetten to turn off my nano and put in in pause mode and hold it for overnight. When i realised what happened in the moring, i couldnt turn it off and it just froze. I reset my nano by pressing the menu button and select button and it finally turned off. I tried to turn it on again but could not. I thought that it had no more battery, so i went to charge it. but when i tried to charge it, still, nothing appears on the screen and I cannot turn it on too. Help anyone?

try a reset hold the menu and middle button for 10
sec or until the apple logo comes up.
i tried that many times but nothng seems to work.. i even tried to update my ipod but it said that it has some error and thats all. it even closed the programme and didnt even solve the problem..

Weird problem XP freezes after system was off for several hours after upgrading to X

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G, Athlon 64 X2 3800 AM2, GB PC 3200, XFX Geforce 7600GT, 80 GB system dri've Barracuda 7200, Sata Raid 2x 300 GB Maxtor DiamondMax0, PSU Seasonic 600W, Ralink Wireless PCI card, Sony floppy, Pioneer DVR
After the installation of the new soundcard I could reboot initially but not reboot when I used the PC a few hours/next day later. The blue XP indicator bar would freeze. Tried several re-installs. Then I re-installed everything including XP from the beginning. When re-installing the graphics card driver (old and latest version) system would hang with a blinking cursor.
I also updated BIOS successfully to F6. Full re-installation -everything seemed to work. Re-booted several times- OK. Booted a few hours later- XP freezes when blue indicator bar has ben running for a few seconds.
I have now the latest drivers for both soundcard, graphics card, BIOS and latest DirectX installed. I cannot understand why the system would reboot immediately after installation but freeze a few hours later. Is this some kind of hardware problem ?
my friend and I using same components and we both have same problem!!
REMOVING the X-Fi card solves the problem

Ok, tried these installations:?Clean XP Install --> Mainboard Drivers --> Video Drivers --> Audio DriversClean XP Install --> Video Drivers --> Mainboard Drivers --> Audio DriversClean XP Install --> Audio Drivers --> Mainboard Drivers --> Video Drivers?I continued with several other reinstalls. After each one, Windows had NO PROBLEM rebooting and loading into the XP desktop. IF you turned off the PC, though, and back on again, Windows would lock up at the loading screen with the scrolling blue bar. Likewise, I still encountered the blinking cursor error when installing the video drivers AFTER the audio drivers but not vice versa. Either way, when I turned off the PC for the 'ultimate' deciding-test, X-Fi would not allow Windows to post. I pulled the X-Fi card out and voila, Windows loaded with no problems whatsoever. Of course I had no sound because they weren't the drivers for an SB Li've! 24-bit, you get the idea. My system is:?AMD 4600+ AM2GA-M55Plus-S3G (Gigabyte mainboard, rev .)2GB Corsair XMSPro Series DDR2-800 RAMeVGA 8800GTX PCI-e video cardMemorex DVDR+/-WWD 250GB SATAII HDSBLi've! 24-bit sound card?I was trying to upgrade to an X-Fi Fatalty Professional Gamer (without the I/O panel). I had no idea stupid NForce4 boards were incompatible with certain X-Fi products (and vice versa). Can anyone suggest some alterior sound cards that would work with mine and the second posters board? Or, recommend a suitable mainboard that is relati'vely 'new' and works flawlessly with the X-Fi series, so I don't run into a stupid issue like this again? I daresay, Creative, I've been a longtime supporter of your cards for YEARS, all the way back to 995 and THIS is unbelievable. One last question, has ANYONE tried the Fatalty series X-Fi on an actual Fatalty series mainboard?Message Edited by cookiemanx on 2-05-20062:08 AM

Hello there, queen168.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps for troubleshooting your particular issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone, please help!!

You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.

Bull manure.
Want to try again? Or maybe read and use the troubleshooting in the article which your ridiculous statement was posted from?

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

I went on iTUnes after not using it for awhile and all my playlists are gone. How can I find them?

Hi Apple community ---
I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone. My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of my playlists, except for what's in my iPod. I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well.
I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic.
Thanks for your help!!!

All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You can also try going to Settings>General>Reset>Ease all content and Settings. However, you may not be able to restore via iTunes. You might only be able to only restore from iCloud backup if you have a hardware problem,
