Cannot sync using itunes

cannot sync the iphone to my computer
Not allow to key in the sync in the pull down menu
Help!

The error was introduced with version 9.1 - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2390726&start=0&tstart=0
What I did back then, was to uninstall all Apple applications, just to get a clean start, iTunes, Quick Time, Bonjour etc., rebooted, then installed version 9.0.3 and then it worked again.
I found the old version at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
... and you guys at Apple, instead of giving us articles about the format of the MS Outlook pst file and directions to rename OpenSSL files etc., please fix the problem! - You introduced it, you fix it!

  • I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini conected.

    I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini connected. What should I do?
    My Mini will not boot up. I tried holding both buttons down.  I got a "connect to itunes" message. I connected. and nothing happens.

    Hello there Chess-ster,
    If I understand correctly your iPad mini is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows Vista PC. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Start with these steps and work your way down as needed:
    Restart
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device, then turn them on again.
    Update your computer
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
    Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • IPod cannot sync with iTunes

    Hello everyone. I have a small problem with my brothers iPod. It cannot sync with iTunes, but mine can sync perfectly. We have the same iPod (Nano, 2GB) but his is black, and mine is white. When the iPod is plugged in, iTunes freezes for a minute or two and then keeps going. When songs are being updates, it freezes, and sometimes says that the source cannot by written to or read from, Any help?

    Oh and note that sometimes iTunes thinks its a White iPod but really is Black.
    Help!
    Note: i did read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267 and it did not help.

    I cannot sync my iTunes library to my iphone5 can you help I get error message a connection could not be established to the iPhone

    Yes it is.
    Initially I got an error message saying can't connect because of Date & Time settings.
    Went in and re-verified that those were correct.
    Tried to update downloads and then got a new error message: "Can't connect to iTunes Store".
    I live in the US and that's where I created my iTunes a/d and Apple ID.
    I am currently in India --- can that coause confusion re date & time?

  • Need Help Syncing Using iTunes

    How can I control what gets synced using ITunes?  Usually I only want to sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar between my computer and iPhone, and occassionally some music, but my apps get synced as well.

    click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, then click 'show menu bar'.
    In the menu bar, then click 'view' and then 'show side bar'
    Now it might look somewhat familiar.
    After this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Good luck

  • Iphone 3gs cannot sync to itunes

    why my iPhone 3gs cannot sync to itunes? after i click synced, the phone seemed to sync to itunes but when it's about to complete, itunes cancelled the sync. WHYYYY? I've been having this problem since i've updated my iPhone to iO5.

    Two things to try:
    If you have a Windows computer open a Command window and type:
        netsh   winsock   reset
    If this doesn't fix it, or if you have a Mac, your current backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, highlight the backup and delete it.
    And if this still doesn't fix it, you may have a badly corrupted backup. Delete it manually by going the the Backup folder and deleting everything in it. You can find it as follows:
    Mac OS: ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Errror message:  "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started".  I now cannot sync on itunes

    The error message is "This iphone cannot be used becuase the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Iphone will not start synci since the message appeared.

    I'd start with the following document with that one:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    (If you've got a Mac, there's a link in the document through to Mac advice.)

  • Photos loaded directly onto ipad air do not show up on PC anywhere when synced using itunes

    Photos loaded directly onto ipad air using Apple camera connection kit, do not show up on PC anywhere when synced using itunes

    They won't show in iTunes (iTunes is only used to copy photos to a device, not copy them off), but you should be able to copy them off either manually via My Computer (the iPad should show as a camera) or via windows camera wizard or windows live photo gallery depending upon your OS version.
    Copying photos : iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • Apple tv 1st gen cannot sync with itunes 11.1 purchase

    My 1st gen Apple TV cannot sync movies/TV shows that were purchased after itunes 11.1 upgrade.  Old movies/TV shows purchased prior to 11.1 have no issue deleting or adding to ATV, anyone has same issue?

    Well ... took a long time but found out you are right.  The ones that I cannot sync to ATV are the 1080p movies/TV shows.
    I thought I had previously downloaded many HD movies/TV shows, but after checking the "get info" they are at best 720p even though the titles say "HD"
    Guess I have to upgrade.  Thanks a lot!

  • Iphone 4: updated to IOS 6.2.  Blank Mail screen, and stuck at 21 emails.  Can't access anything.  Cannot Sync with iTunes either.  It cycles and never gets beyond step 2, then recycles

    I have an iphone running OS6.01. After updating, March 3 was my last sync.  iTunes recognizes the phone, but the progress bar sits on eithe step 1 or 2 of 7 steps. Then it starts over.  The device icon on the left shows syncing taking place, as does the phone. 
    Have rebooted the MBpro and the phone several times.  Have held down the top and home buttons until the apple appears, to no avail.
    Also starting March 3rd my iPhone has been struggling;  My Mail is stuck at 21, and all I get is a blank screen when I click on the app. I have now other apps that won't open at all now...and when I go into settings to click on mail, I get a blue hightlighted box that stalls and goes nowhere.
    Thoughts...solutions are welcome

    Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
    Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
    When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
    You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
    Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
    Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
    Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
    APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
    I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

  • ITouch 3rd Gen 64GB(3.1.3) won't sync using iTunes 9.2. Unknown error (-20)

    I downloaded and isntalled iTunes 9.2 on my laptop from the apple site and updated my entire music library (25GB) to it. Connected my iTouch and it recognised it without a hitch along with all the installed apps and the music which was already there (which I had synced from my cousin's laptop without a hitch. I had anticipated deleting all this music so as to be able to put mine, no problem. But as soon as i start the sync the display bar goes to about 50% and gets stuck and after a few minutes displays 2 dialogs with one saying 'unable to connect to iPod disk unkown error(-20).
    What am I doing wrong/ what's happening here and how do I fix this?
    Steps I've already taken:
    1. Restored iTouch to factory settings through the iTouch itself so all the downloaded apps and music is already deleted. Fresh start didn't help.
    2. Repaired and reinstalled iTunes but the error stays the same.

    SOLVED (somewhat)
    The problem is with iTunes 9.2 only. I just succesfully synced my pod on my mom's laptop using iTunes 9.0 .
    Apple had better come out with a fix for this cuz I'm not allowed to install iTunes 9.0 on m computer becase it gives an error saying theres a file created by a newer iTunes. So. I still need iTunes 9.2 to work or a later upgrade which works.APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING?

  • IPhone sync using iTunes gets stuck on step 3 of 7 syncing calendars

    I am getting stuck on step 3 of 7 when syncing my iPhone 4 using iTunes. I have had this happen before with iOS5 but it seemed to sort itself out after I deleted the backup from iTunes 10 > Preferences > Devices > iPhone backup and synced again a couple of times. I recently installed iOS6 and the sync problem has come up again. Apps and contacts seem to backup fine. I have tried deleting the backup and a reset (by holding the sleep & home buttons down) but I still don't seem to be able to get past step 3 of 7 sycning calendars. I noticed that a few users seem to have this problem from time to time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had it hanging on Calendar sync as well ...
    This worked for me:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    I also had crazy dupes of calendar items previously except on my iphone, so the idea was to get the singular calendar of events synced back to my computer. So ...
    I made sure Calendar was empty on my computer: ~/Library/Calendars/
    Cleared out. Emptied Trash.
    Then per above link, cleared sync services from terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Plugged in iPhone, set my prefs again, sync'ed. Went thru the sync quickly and got everything back to normal with only single events.
    The key here (on dupes) is to have at least ONE version of your calendar in good shape. And that may be thru your iphone backups.
    (sorry I know I switched thread topics, but sync and dupes seem to go hand in hand)
    Hope this helps.
