Cannot sync. itunes with iphone.

I see my apps. on the itunes windows, but they will not transfer to my phone, why?

There is no fix as of today from Apple. However, here is an imperfect "workaround":
Found a solution on another site that worked for me when I encountered the same problem (and did not want to pay for iPhoto 11):
Press the option key while starting iPhoto, it will ask which library to use -- select "Create a new library." That will create an empty library.
Quit iPhoto, then restart it with the option key to ensure it's using the new, empty library. Close iPhoto.
Open iTunes -- if you're lucky (I was, finally), it should not crash when you select the iPhone. Now you can check that the "sync photos" option in iTunes is not selected.
If you're using iPhoto, restart it with the option key to select a library -- select your older library.
In case you're using Aperture as I am, I did not have to make any changes in the Aperture libraries. I've been able to keep Photo Stream enabled on the iPhone without complications, which meets my needs.
Configuation - iMac, OS 10.7.3, iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1 (over the air update), iPhoto 8. I did not encounter the problem others have reported with iTunes crashing as soon as it was opened; but it did consistently when I selected the iPhone.
Hope this helps.

When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas?

On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Cannot sync Calendar with iphone 3g/itunes

Not sure what happened but I cannot sync calendar with itunes.
Everything else works fine with syncing with Outlook 2007 through iTunes.
What specifically happens is everything will sync and when it gets to "syncing with calendar" the syncing process hangs, never completes.
Any help?

Try resetting the sync history. iTunes > Edit menu > Preferences > Devices tab, click the button. Then try syncing again.

New iTunes: cannot sync calendar with iPhone

Cannot Sync iCal with iPhone (2.0.1) and iTunes (7.7.1)

I tried to sync with iTunes this morning and I noticed that none of my calendar items were being synced. I did an search of the forums and found some old solutions. I tried them but none of them worked for me. Here's what I've tried:
1. Logging in to a different iTunes account
2. Resetting the history on iSync
3. in iTunes, going to Info>Advanced and replacing all the info on the iPhone
4. Full restore of the iPhone
5. Verifying that all the items are checked in the Info panel (calendar, address book, etc.)
I get this message when I try to sync: "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone [my phone's name] because a sync session could not be started."
Again, I've tried all the possible solutions. I cannot remember the last time I synced. It may have been before iTunes updated.
I do not use MobileMe. Any ideas?

I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
Here is the procedure:
Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

Itunes on second computer cannot sync music with iphone

My primary computer for syncing my iphone is a imac and my secondary computer is a laptop running windows with itunes on it. When i set up iphone to sync with the laptop the music would not sync. The itunes version on the laptop can download purhcased songs. So i purchased new music through itunes on the laptop and now cannot sync that to the iphone without erasing all the other music on the iphone. Does anyone know how i can sync the purchased music on the laptop itunes with the iphone?
Grateful for any advice. I am not a satisfied user of apple itunes and iphone. I purchase music on itunes as I believe in paying for copyrighted music. Then when i own it apple software does not allow me to use it easily. Not really fair.

I also could not even manually drag and drop files onto my iPhone from my second computer. I have a video iPod, Shuffle and now iPhone. I drop songs onto both my shuffle and video iPod from THREE different computers (work, home and laptop). Are you telling me for some wacky reason we now cannot use more than one computer to drop files onto the iPhone?
I love my iPhone but that *****!!! You hear that Apple, it *****!!!!

Wifi syncing itunes with iphone

I know that this is not supposed to be possible so can anyone tell me what's going on? I recently downloaded itunes for my netbook and the first time I ran it with my iphone 3Gs nearby it recognised the phone and had it listed correctly as my iphone. Not a usb cable in sight. And I have never connected my iphone to that computer. The icon for my iphone soon disappeared and has never come back.

You cannot sync via Wi-Fi. The iPhone will show up in iTunes when on the same network if iTunes is set to look for remotes (the Remote app lets the iPhone control iTunes playback).

Sync itunes with Iphone

Hi guys,
I have a little problem when syncing my tracks with my Iphone 3G. Basically, i copy the tracks over and they are on the itunes library, but when ever i connect my iphone, to move the tracks over to the iphone, it doesnt seem to work. ive tried updating my firewaer and the itunes software and nothing works. i believe this has started with me enabling the Genius feature on Itunes! can anyone help?

Have you setup iTunes to sync music with your phone? When you plug your phone it, goto the music tab, and make sure that it is set to sync your library with iTunes.

Cannot sync photos with iPhone 4

All my recent pictures do not show up in iTunes 10.3.1 when I try to sync them with my iPhone 4. I can import them from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto 9.1.3 without any problems but the latest events that show up in iTunes are from May 2011. All the pictures taken in June 2011 do not show up.
Here is what I have tried:
Repaired the iPhoto Library Database
Examined and repaired iPhoto Library file permissions
Repaired Disk Permissions using Disk Utility
Is there any log file for iTunes that I can delete that might be damaged?
Any ideas?

Cannot sync Itunes with my ipad

I subscribed to IMatch and connected my mini ipad to my macbook to sync Itunes. I got a message saying I had to download the most recent version of Itunes. When I did so, a message came up saying I need a newer version of OSX. Is there another way I can get my Itunes synced? My songs show on my Ipad, but will not play.

What version of OS X do you have when you check  > About This Mac? You need 10.6.8 or higher in order to sync you iPad Mini.

ITunes cannot sync apps. with iPhone

Hi everyone!
I bought a new laptop lately, and I wanted to sync all the applications on the iphone with itunes, but it keeps saying, "please authorize your computer" - which I already did. Then all my apps disappeared from the phone, so I downloaded everything to iTunes again, and tried to sync, but it seems that the apps cannot be synced with the phone. I tried to download every program to the phone again, and then sync it again, but it still won't work. I reinstalled iTunes and visited the support page and tried everything regarding the authorization and deauthorization articles there (administration account, deleticn SC folder from program data etc), and it still does not work. I can see all the apps on the computer, but when I want to sync, it simply won't copy anything to the phone. So I have to download every program from app. store via my phone, and it works perfectly, until I connect the phone with the computer. I searched for an apple email address, but I cannot find anything (I live in Hungary, Europe, and I just realized that the apple support is really poor here).
Can somebody please help or just give me an official apple email address to write my problem to them as well?
Thank you very much!

I bought several apps, like 6 or 7, and the sync would error out, but the backups would be okay.
I guess I was trying to sync too many new applications at once. I ended up having to download my purchases via iTunes on my computer, then go to Apps on my iPhone in iTunes, and check one at a time, syncing after each, until all apps were installed.
If I tried to do anymore than one at a time, I would get iPhone not connected or trouble reading disk errors while syncing.
