Changed pc won`t sync.

Hiya folks, just changed my pc and tried to install i-tunes. All seemed to go well but right at the end I got a message saying`i-tunes not installed fully`. When connecting one of my i-pods, the pc recognises a usb device is connected but will not open i-tunes or sync with the i-pod. Any ideas?. Cheers, Pete.

Was the version of iTunes you installed the latest version downloaded from here?
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you try to run iTunes by itself with no iPod connected, does it open and show your library?

I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.

I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

IPhone4s won't sync. Error message says I do not have privileges to make changes.

My iPhone4s won't sync. Error message says I do not have privileges to make changes.
Why not?! It synced fine yesterday and I have made no changes. How do I get it to stop giving me the error message and sync?
I have tried shutting everything down. I have tried everything I can think of short of wiping the phone by hitting "Restore" and I really do not want to do that.

Thank you.
I actually figured it out a while ago.
Turns out it is not an issue with the iPhone or iTunes.
By process of elimination I deduced it could be a permissions issue with the hard drive and/or folder that holds the contents of my Music Library.
For example, if the "Sharing & Permissions" settings (found in the "Get Info" Window) are set to "Read Only" on the internal or external drive that contains your Music Library for iTunes then you can not write to the disk. Therefore, you do not have privelges to make changes to the internal or external drive and you get the error message when you try to sync with the information on that drive.
Here's the kicker and million dollar questions:
How did the "Sharing & Permissions" settings get changed on my Hard Drive without me doing it?
Why did my iPhone sync fine yesterday and suddenly today the Hard Drive is doing this?
I have to set all priveleges to all drives to "Read & Write" and that just doesn't seem very secure to me.

So iCal won't sync as I've had to change my gmail password. Anyone figured out how to fix this?

So iCal won't sync now as I've had to change my gmail password. Anyone figured out how to fix this?

Yes, I go to Settings>Mail>Gmail. I've deleted the old Gmail account and added it back with the new password. I've also deleted the account, shut down the iPad and iPhone and then re-add the Gmail account with the new password and it still doesn't work for either device. The error messages I get are:
For the iPad: Cannot Connect Using SSL
For the iPhone: The user name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect.

I have synced my Iphone and everything is on there but when I activated my daughter's iphone it recognized it as mine and now it won't sync any music because it thinks it already did it. How do I go in and change it to my daughter's name?

I have synced my IPhone4 and it has everything on it, including all of my music. When I activated my daughter's IPhone4, the computer recognized it as mine and it won't sync the music because I guess it thinks it has already done it. I think if I restore it to factory settings, it will mess up my phone. How do I go back in to restart the whole process under my daughter's name?

As amy_lou said, iTunes will recognize both phones as different devices. If they have the same name, rename one of them so it is easier to recognize which is which. This explains how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965.

Podcasts won't sync - error "no longer exist"

i connected my ipod to sync to itunes. for some unknown reason, itunes was blanked out and when it synced, it wiped everything off my ipod. i reuploaded everything from my hard drive and subscribed to/downloaded podcasts. however, now when itunes syncs with my ipod, i get a message that the podcasts no longer exist so it won't sync. help! i miss my podcasts!!!

It has nothing to do with being authorised, that doesn't affect Podcasts. Plus, you already have them on your computer.
Did you have to change the settings for the Sync Podcasts? If you did, then you may need to perform another Sync to make sure the "change" has been implemented.
If not, then:
Have you previously managed to Sync Podcasts with this iPod?
Are they Podcasts, downloaded as Podcasts through iTunes?
Are they iTunes U programmes?
Are they video Podcasts?
Do you see any error messages when you Sync the iPod with iTunes?
Where, on your iPod, are you looking for the Podcasts?

IPod touch won't sync all songs in playlist

My son bought a brand-new iPod touch yesterday. He has been trying to compile his playlist and sync it to the new iPod. He has 41 songs on his playlist and only 22 of them will sync. They are all in the iTunes library and the iPod library, but not on the playlist. We tried changing Settings>Music>Group by Album Artist>Off, and that doesn't work. We've also created new playlists and tried syncing those, and that doesn't work either. Today, I noticed that my iPod Touch is doing the very same thing. We have the most recent software and many of the songs were purchased directly through iTunes.
Any thoughts? We've had my son's iPod for 2 days and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying Apple support for help on something that seems to be an inbred error on their part.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem as well and tried so many of these solutions, but no luck. I just got a new laptop with windows 8 and when I hooked my iTouch4 to my computer it only show 36 songs out of 509 of the ones I have on my iTouch. (I was freaking out because I thought windows 8 had something to do with it, but as usual I was being paranoid )
I found a way to put the rest of my music on my USB and hooked it to my laptop and put that music in a separate folder. I had all of them play onto iTunes. Now they all worked on iTunes, but I realized they didn't really sync onto my iTouch. To test it out a bought a new song on iTunes and clicked "sync" onto my iTouch, but nothing happened.
So I started searching for answers, but none of the methods solved my problem. So I started messing around with it and realized that the problem was ACTUALLY A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
So this is what I did...
1) Start playing one of the songs that won't sync to your iTouch4
(don't know how to sync all songs at once yet)
2) Now right click at the top bar of iTunes where it shows the song playing
right click on album picture
3) Then scroll to "Add to Playlist"
the arrow of "Add to Playlist" will show a list of your own playlists and the name of your iPod
4) Click on the name of your iPod Ex) Robert's iPod
5) Then (you can stop playing song at this point) click on iPod device
This should right away take you to "Summary"
6) Instead of being on "Summary" look for "On This iPod" - Click it
7) Now "On This iPod" show a list of all the music that is currently on your iTouch
(including the song you just added from iTunes by following these steps)
8) Make sure all the songs you want in the list have been marked with a "check mark"
9) Then click "sync"
Check iTouch to see if song downloaded...
*If not then - still on "On This iPod" - click on "Autofill"
(Wait for it to load)
Now click "sync"
You should now have the songs on your iTouch as well!
It's a simple solution, but I haven't seen anyone advicing it and I wish they had so I didn't have to go through all this trouble
Hopefully this helps!!!

I updated to iOS 5 and now my iPod Touch 3g won't sync. Help?

My iTunes told me to update to iOS5, so I did. I saved a backup, got the new OS and it restored my iPod.
The problem is that it didn't actually restore it. None of my music or apps was on my iPod. So I tried syncing it. No such luck.
I tried changing USB ports, restarting iTunes, restarting my iPod and restarting my computer. I tried syncing it again. It didn't work.
So I restored my iPod again, or at least tried to, and it told me that there was an error and the restore didn't finish. All of the apps synced, but none of my music.
I tried restoring and syncing again, and this time around the apps synced and maybe 10% of my music.
That's my issue. I can't for the life of me get all of my music to sync. None of the songs have error messages and there aren't any pop ups during the sync saying there's issues with the songs. They just. won't. sync. And now in order to talk to a tech, I'll have to pay $29 for something that is most definitely not my fault. Please help!

And, I've tried restoring it! Help?!?

8.1 won't sync Music purchases from my iPhone back to my iTunes Library

I have run into three issues since installing iTunes 8.1.
The first was the problem syncing Calendar data which many other folks have reported and which I resolved by setting iTunes to overwrite the Calendar on my iPhone at the next sync.
The second is that I have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store app on my iPhone and iTunes 8.1 doesn't seem to discover these songs during the sync process and they don't get copied into the iTunes library on my Mac. I never had a problem with this before in iTunes 8.0. The only thing that's changed is installing v8.1. So I currently have no way of backing up any tracks purchased on my iPhone.
The third issue is that syncing with my iPhone is generally more sluggish then it was in iTunes 8.0 - it takes longer to sync and the progress information in iTunes on my Mac is out of step (the spinning progress wheel next to my iPhone in the Devices pane disappears about 30 seconds before the progress at the top says that the sync has finished - in iTunes 8.0 these things happened at the same time which was reassuring).
Not being able to sync items purchased on my iPhone is a serious issue for me.
Does anyone know if I can revert to iTunes 8.0 safely (i.e. were any changes made to the iTunes library xml files or any supporting files in 8.1) - I have a Time Machine backup of my User Account from before the upgrade to 8.1 and I have only purchased a few tracks on my iPhone (not on my Mac) since.

I'm having the exact same problem with iTunes 8.1.1. I purchased one song from the iTunes Music Store app on my iPhone, now it won't sync (transfer) to iTunes on my iMac. Guess I need to downgrade too.

Applications tab doesn't work - apps won't sync

I'm starting to go a bit bonkers. It's been a while since I updated iTunes, and the Applications tab still doesn't work right. Is it just me? I can't click on anything/manipulate anything in that part of iTunes. And when I download new apps through the app store and tell my iPhone to sync, it doesn't sync the apps, even though "Sync Applications" under the Applications tab is checked.
I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. I've restored my iPhone. I've done both things a few times and you know what? Sometimes that makes it work. But if so, it only works one time. I can use the Applications window to check which apps I want synced and move things around onto different screens. But then if I click on another tab/navigate away from that window, it stops working. And I have to restore my iPhone again just to sync my apps.
Any suggestions? Help? Is it just me that's having this problem? Thanks...
iTunes version: 9.0.2 (25)
iPhone software version: 3.1.2

Wouldn't I lose all my paid apps if I go under a different account?
Still not working... only when I restore my iPhone to factory settings and reupload everything do I get my new and updated apps and have a working Applications tab. Then, if I quit iTunes and open it again later, I can't manipulate/change anything under the Applications tab, and my apps won't sync with the rest of the stuff on my iPhone. So maybe the solution is to leave iTunes open and my computer on FOREVER.
I'm seriously getting ticked that this isn't working right. Anyone else have this problem? Or just scuttlebutt and me?

Google calender and google contacts won't sync AGA...

I am getting very tired of Nokia now!
Actually I've had it with Nokia!
One last Change,
My wife and I have now received Nokia phones number 4 and 5 from the care center.
I now have a E7-00 with a poorly responsive touchscreen,
my wife now has a N8, wich just again is different than her previous.
I'm still haven't been able to find out whether the touchscreen is broken or...
Namely because I can hardly use the phone, again google calender and google contacts won't sync.
Got it to work last time around, but things (espacialy with Nokia) change.
Can somebody, Please, give me the page with the CORRECT instructrons? for the e7-00 and the N8?
I am very tired of clicking pages wich do not contain the anwsers.
Meanwhile, my friends and colleagues laugh at me, with their smasung's, HTC 's, LG 's, and iPhone's.
Which all sync (nearly) hassle-free with all they want.
Help

Hi Gucky66,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please reset and update the phone to fix any software issues you're experiencing on both your E7 and N8.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up.
Now disconnect the phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345 into your phone. Once the phone has rebooted, please reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you will be able to update the phone to it's latest software version. If no update is listed, please reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
When the updated has completed, please restore the back up via Restore > Back up.
You should now have a fully working phone. If you're still experiencing difficulties with your Email account, please delete the account and reconfigure, you can do this via Menu > Mail > Select the email account > Long press > Delete mailbox.
If the above doesn't work, please contact your local Care line where they will be able to look at your previous repairs and look for a solution.
Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

My iPod Touch won't sync

I just updated my iPod Touch 4 Gen to iOS 5 a few weeks ago, ever since I have been having problems. At first my iPod had no album arts and if I edit the info of a song on iTunes, it wouldn't edit the info on the song on my iPod. It eventually sync my album art and the songs I edited after I added some new songs.
About a week later, when I added a few new songs to my iTunes, but when I tried to sync them to my iPod, the sync would finish, but the songs won't be on my iPod. It eventually sync those songs after I added a couple albums to my iTunes. (also I don't think its due to updating to iOS 5, but my Belkin charing cable stopped working, so I started using the Apple cable that I use for sync)
But after another week, when I tried to sync and it would backup and transfer purchases, but once it got up to somethin like "determining tracks to sync" iTunes would crash, and I would have to close iTune using Windows Task Manger. I have tried adding more albums, then I tried deleting some albums, it still won't sync. Now, after another week, its still has the same problem. But I can still add movies to apps on my iPod.
What wrong with my iPod? How can I fix it?
And also another question, when I tick "sync iPod via Wifi" or "only sync tick songs and videos" the music on my iPod decrease from 10.8gb to 10.2gb and my video stay the same (probably because I not have any video). But why does the music decrease from 10.8 to 10.2. I have made sure that all my songs are ticked and also iTunes says I have 10.06gb of music. Is there something wrong with that?
By the way I have nearly 1000 Purchased AAC and just under 400 MP3. The purchased AAC songs are purchased from iTunes, but they are purchased by some of my friends, not me. And my iTunes is iTunes 10.5, so it is up to date.

Thanks for trying, but unfortunately my iPod still has that problem. I try to restore my iPod but I still have that problem. But if I restore my iPod then sync then it will sync all my music on (but that takes nearly 4 hours, and after I sync my app are screwed. Today I backed up, then restored and sync it. Now I have 50 updates on the appstore (before I restored it there were only 3) and my layout was change to way I had it the last time I successfully synced it. Also some of my apps were delete, some apps I deleted were added (and it was random which apps got deleted, some I got months ago, some recent). So I had to redownload a lot of apps and update a lot as well, adding over another hour. So it would of took me probably nearly 6 hours to get new music on my iPod.
I hope someone or Apple finds a fix, 6 hours is way to long
Also I got another question, I my a smart playlist for New Released songs, I made it so that it was ordered by the most recently released, but when I restored and synced my iPod the Playlist was in a random order. Please help with that as well.
Yet another question, has anyone found out how to make it so that on my iPod the Recently Added smart playlist is ordered from the most recently added, my Recently Added smart playlist is still upside down from since I update to the ******** iOS 5
Lastly does anyone know good alternative for iTunes, I need something to sync music to my iPod since iTunes won't work for me. Also if I used some other program to sync music to my iPod would that mess up my iPod if I tried to restore it and sync it with iTunes.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

Changed pc won`t sync.
