Cannot sync iPhone "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not allocate a resource."
Cannot sync my new iPhone 5S to my new Macbook Pro. Keep getting error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not allocate a resource." Old iphone 4S will not sync either but iPod Classic synced fine. Spent 2 hours on phone with Applecare trying various things including reinstalling itunes, disk repair, authorizing computer. Nothing has worked.
This totally worked!

The error says, "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." But it is connected and shows up in iTunes but won't sync or show apps. Never happened before.
Have you seen this Apple support document?

The pop up that comes up as soon as i plug my iphone into my mac is 'itunes could not connect to this iphone. could not allocate resource" what should i do?
HOW TO FIX CANNOT ALLOCATE A RESOURCE ERROR!!!
I found a fix that worked for me after failing with all the others:
IF your computer has an old cydia app called Wi-Fi Sync (you'll recognize it on your toolbar as a black silhouette of an iphone that NEVER goes away), then this is probably your main culprit. Simple fix.
1. Goto your hard drive in the finder
2. Goto Library
3. Goto Launch Daemons
4. Throw this in the trash: com.ghughes.wifisync.root.plist
5. Goto Library
6. Goto Application Support
7. Throw this in the trash: Wi-Fi Sync (it's an entire folder).
8. Restart.
9. Thank me.

Hi!
I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub. -
ITunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected
A few days ago, my iPad 3 A1430 screen turned black. Siri was still there but very slow to respond. The following day, the screen display returned (the usual green background colour but a much smaller display and not a single icon present). Siri was back up to speed, could play music, display info but could not respond to calendar enquiries etc. The iPad would switch off but not reboot. I let the battery level drop to zero then re-charged: iPad now working again.
Wanting to back-up my iPad, I ran iTunes version 12.1.0.50 on iMac (Yosemite 10.10.2). I have PCemulator installed and when the iPad connection was made, I received the usual screen prompt for which to connect to Mac or PC. (The problem starts here: - the prompt was flashing on/off). I selected Mac & received the message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
Rebooted PC and iPad, connecting iPad offers no device prompt, only the same error message.
Successfully backed up iPhone 6 using iTunes.
Upgraded iPad software to IOS 8.2 and connected again. No effect, same error message.
Looked at various Apple posts but couldn’t find a solution. After several iMac & iPad reboots, eventually managed to back-up my iPad and in the process lost all my iPad music built up over the years on my old PC. Managed to recover these music files from my old PC and load them onto iTunes on my iMac. Tried to sync my iPad but back to error message “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The device is no longer connected”.
Any solution?I have the same problem. In fact when I plug in my iPad 2 updated to ios 7.0.4 I get that same message and it crashes my entire system - forcing me to reboot.

Since my iPhone 4 updated I can no longer sync it or charge it with iTunes I get an error message ------>iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. An unknown error occurred (0xE000084)
From this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 see this:
Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring

When I plug my iPhone 4 in to my MacBook Pro, it charges but it is not recognised in iTunes.
After about 30 seconds I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
The device still charges but is not recognised.
I've obviously tried restarting both devices / programs. I'm running the laters versions of iTunes and iOS on my iPhone. I've tried all the steps in the troubleshooting pages, and i've re installed iTunes. Stil no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!I am having a very similar issue with my iPhone 5.
Yesterday I took it to the Apple Store as the battery was draining rapidly, and had the phone restored from an iCloud backup. Everything but my music was synced, and when I returned home to sync my music, the iPhone is only being recognised by iPhoto and I am having error messages from iTunes that the iPhone is not recognised and is unresponsive. I have tried everything I have found online, including trying to connect my phone to my work computer with similar messages.
Please help! -
ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because of an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F)
iTunes to iPhone 4 wireless sync fails. iTunes gives me this message:
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because of anunknown error occurred (0xE800007F)
Windows 7 Pro - (Lastest & Greatest)
iPhone 4 - ios 5.0.1 (Lastest & Greatest)
iTunes 10.5.1.42 (Lastest & Greatest)
A Google search has found a number of other iPhone owners having the same problem, but no resolution. Anyone have a fix for this issue?Hi Annette, i think itunes keeps booting itself because either your ipad or iphone or ipod touch has 'Open iTunes when this ##### is connected' selected in its properties.
to fix, connect whichever device you have to itunes using a cable, select the device in the left colmn and under the 'Summary' tab, deselect 'Open iTunes when this #### is connected'
This was doing the same thing to me. drove me mad.
I too am also having the same issue as the original poster with the cant connect message.
regards

This is the error message I get when I try to sync with iTunes now. I suspect the problem is that I replaced my hard drive on my MBP, but I can't find this particular problem or the solution anywhere. Help?Hi HunkaKunkaBurningLove,
