Cannot sync library on PC to iphone 5, nothing happens when I transfer the library, grey circles appear...please help!

I am trying to sync my iphone 5 to my existing itunes library but nothing transfers and it actually removed the existing songs from my phone. When I look on my phone, a bunch of grey circles appear next to the songs. The only songs I can find are those I purchased recently directly on my phone.

You need a firewire cable (6 pin to 4 pin). These are very cheap online if you Google, or you can find at Radio Shack etc.

    Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

    Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • HT204053 on my iphone 3gs, I tap settings, icloud and the account is incorrect.  Please help!

    On my iphone 3GS, I tap Settings, iCloud. The account is incorrect and light grey, which will not allow me to edit the account.  Other problems stemming from this have to do with storage and photo stream.

    Thanks! 
    This is what I mean:
    In the settings on my iPhone, I click iCloud which puts me at a screen and at the top is iCloud Account Information.  Under that is Apple ID.  This is where the wrong id is. 
    Further down the page is the Storage Plan information, which says cannot load storage plan.
    Also, iCloud Back-up: " iCloud Backup is inable to access the (wrong account, again).  Review your account information in settings."  I did and ran into the problem above.

  • IPhone WILL NOT SHOW when I have a text... PLease HELP! :(

    Okay so my Iphone 4 will not let me know when I have a text. It is not on silent and it is not on Do Not Disturb mode. Even if I am on the phone when the person texts me back it doesn't let me know. I have to open Messages and check to see. I just got this phone and it hasen't been doing this until a few hours ago! I am very confused and the people I text get mad because it is 15 mins before I respond. Please help me fast!

  • TS3989 I have iphone and ipad and windows 7. trying to set OPTIONS on icloud photostream on my windows 7 screeen. Nothing happens when i hit the photostream options button.

    Cannot open OPTIONS for photostream.

    Is the stream actually working at the min? Are you just wanting to change the settings?
    If it isn't working, you could try the following things:
    Can you log out of the control panel? If so try logging out, restart the pc then log back in again.
    If that doesnt help, uninstall icloud from the pc, restart, then reinstall.
    If you still have no joy and really want the photostream to work you need to check your permissions. If you right click on the icloud icon in your start up menu you can open the file location. There you will find about 8 apple files such as 'applephotostreams'. right click on each and go to security, make sure you have full control of each file. I am not sure how much this has to do with it but I have seen other people suggest it on other threads.
    If that still doesn't help you could try making a new user acount on your pc and setting up icloud on there. This worked for me (no idea why!). I just started using a new user account and left my old one for the kids to use but if you have all your stuff on your original one you could set the photo stream to download to a public file so you can view it from any user account. Or move the pics to a public file fter the have downloaded into the file icloud automatically makes for you.
    Hope you sort it out!

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Cannot sync Outlook 2007 Calendar with iPhone 4 using iTunes 10 for Windows

    I cannot sync my calendars with my iPhone and Outlook. I spent the whole day uninstalling Office and iTunes and reinstalling them, but calendar items still  won't sync in either direction. I also deleted and reinstalled the Outlook iTunes addin. I'm not getting any error messages; they just are not syncing.
    I am using:
    Windows XP Pro
    Outlook 2007
    iPhone 4
    iTunes 10

    OK...here's the update. I tried a few more tricks, too numerous to go into and NOTHING worked. I finally downlaoded and installed Companionlink Express and.....presto! I can sync again. 49.95 for the Companionlink software. You would think the BB folks could write (or purchase) a decent piece of software. I purchased the 8330 primarily to help me keep up with my calendar. When that didn't work, I had a $200 dollar cell phone. RIM almost got this one back! By the way, the website is www.companionlink.com.
