If no change after re-installing iTunes, there is probably a software conflict on your computer.

Did you ever get help with this issue?

Syncing with iTunes, please help!

I cannot for the life of me get my iPhone to sync with iTunes... I recently had to restore my computer completely, and as a result downloaded the new iTunes, as everything on my computer was wiped out. I also changed from one account to another on my phone at around the same time, and the phone number changed. I don't know if either of these could affect syncing or not. I have tried ALL iTunes suggested troubleshooting, down to uninstalling EVERYTHING to do with iTunes and reinstalling it. Nothing is working, please please help! I'm so frustrated.

Is your computer authorized? Is your phone recognized in itunes? If yes, did you restore your phone? Can you transfer your purchases from the phone to the computer?

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
Here's some other option for Windows users.
First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

IPod can't sync with iTunes please help

I have an iPod, forget what gen but its got a click wheel and was the one right before the iPod photo. Anyway I recently added about 150 songs to my iTunes (ver. 7.2). I plugged in my iPod and I got the error message "The iPod can not be synced. The required file can not be found." I don't know what this means and don't even know where to begin to fix it. (clicked check for updates on my iPod page and it claimed to be up to date ver. 3.1 I believe)
any help would be appreciated.. thanks
also just got another error message saying "The ipod could not be synced. the disk could not be read from or written to."

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

My iPhone refuses to sync with iTunes, please help?

I think I've done everything I've seen online so far. That is to say, I've uninstalled iTunes, downloaded the newest version, switched up USB ports, restarted iPhone and computer... I really don't know what else to do. I'm new to the apple world and loving it aside from this issue. I have Windows Vista, I hope that isn't a problem for the software. I can't upgrade that, unfortunately.
My dad says I need to back my phone up but I can't, of course... so I would really appreciate some tips! It's making me nervous about the backing up thing and anxious what with the dangerous lack of music on my phone!

It's not that I'm nervous /to/ back my phone up, I'm just nervous that if I don't, something bad may happen to it. lol
And iTunes isn't giving me any error code, it's just not responding to the iPhone 4 at all. it doesn't detect it and so I can't sync :/

My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at the backup phase

My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at backing up phase. I tried to update my ios(mine is 7.1.2) and it states that the iphone update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Likewise when I try to update my iTunes through the help column(check for updates), it also says the same thing as when I try to update my ios on iTunes. Please help!

My pc only recognises my iPad 2 as a camera won't sync in iTunes please help

I take it that it is through Wiindows Explorer you are able to track the iPad as an external device?
Disconnect your iPad and try a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.
Also, try a different USB port on your PC, a few times if necessary.

Had iphone, it broke, have new iphone, cant sync with itunes

I had an iphone 3g for about a month and it died. I got my new one today and when I plugged it into my computer to sync with itunes nothing happened. I then opened itunes but itunes is not "seeing" my new phone and I can't do anything with it. Anyone know how to help me reset and find my new phone in itunes? Thanks so much!

FOUND IT! This was so simple I'm shocked everyone on here didn't know about it. Here is the solution to my problem-maybe it can help others who can't sync!
FOUND THE ANSWER!!
Apparently when you plug your iPhone in to your computer, Windows will "sometimes" install the drivers as a camera, putting them in the wrong place. This is why it will pop up in Windows so you can take photos off, but iTunes can't see it. SO, what you have to do is move the driver file (USBAAPL.SYS) to the correct location. Follow the directions I found below & your iTunes should be fixed (worked for me):
What works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:
1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in
and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really
matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).
2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:
o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)
o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).
o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!
You should find the driver info in a sub folder of
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B
Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder
name into note pad – you’ll need it later)
If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not
been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.
3. Locate the ipod-camera device:
o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager
o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as
‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.
4. Update the driver:
o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on
‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.
o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’
o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check
‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.
In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder
containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example
above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7 507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B),
then click Next.
You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue
installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come
to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.
If for some reason this doesn't work, try downloading the file here:
http://www.runscanner.net/files/sys...sbaapl.sys.aspx
And putting it here:
C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ usbaapl.sys

IPhone won't sync with iTunes. Help?

iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It just says, "waiting for sync to start." But no matter how long I leave it like that, it never syncs. Wirelessly or via USB. I have restarted both my computer and my phone. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the software on my phone is up to date. Nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

I found this on another thread --
Keep your iphone connected. Quit iTunes. Reopen iTunes. Sync begins automatically. It worked for me and several others who had already followed the advice.
So easy.

What do you mean, "is it unlocked"? If your iPod has a screen lock set, it will be obvious from the iPod's screen. For issues with the iPod not appearing in iTunes, start which these troubleshooting steps:
