Connecting Problems with iPhone and iTunes. Help please?

When I connect my iPhone 4 to my laptop (Toshiba), I have a huge issue with connecting and syncing my phone on iTunes. During the time it is plugged and attached to my laptop, I can charge it and sync photos that are on my device to the compter, but I can not get it to sync with iTunes. Also, I do not know what my iTunes is fuctioning at (6.1- 7.1- 8.etc), but I did updated it about a month ago. Does anyone have any information and /or/ helpful advice on this topic?
Thank you!

  • Wifi connection problems for iphone 4S. Help please!

    I just got the iphone 4S the other day and was able to connect to my wifi and now 3 days later it won't let me connect to it? It asks me to put in the password and I KNOW I'm putting in the correct password. Any idea what could be causing me to not be connected now. It is frustrating because it won't let me get on itunes, download apps or do facetime which is what I really wanted to try to do.

        Hi jenjenjab19
    The problems you have described are very frustrating. I would be glad to look into this with you.
    Have you tried resetting your home Wifi? Please try a soft reset on the iPhone and retest. Here's how to reset the device: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=47670

  • Multiple problems with iphone and itunes

    Long time iphone and mac user here. We have 5 iphones in our family and 4 mac computers. I am fairly competent with them. That said we have nothing but problems when trying to get our iphones to sync or update through itunes. Today i had just had enough so i am spending the day trying to resolve all of the random errors we are getting. This isn't up to Apple's usual quality standards. We have an iphone 5 and an iphone 4 synced to a windows 7 64bit. The issues below are with the iphone 5. All software updates for phone, itunes, and pc have been done. I have uninstalled itunes, cleaned reg, then reinstalled just now. (this resulted in new errors...).
    Here are my issues:
    1. SQLlite.dll error (fixed this one myself by copying the files)
    2. The iphone could not be backed up becuase the back up is not compatible or is corrupted error - can't back up iphone manually over wifi or cable
    3. The iphone could not be synced becuase the iphone could not be found on the network - this just started when i resinstalled itunes. i've plugged and unplugged the phone about a dozen times, restarting the computer and phone each time. We've had problems getting our phones to sync for a while now but usually we can get it to work by plugging/unplugging over and over again, but not anymore.
    Thanks in advance for your help with this.

    Okay here's the entire deal it's my gf's Mac and we used to use it together I would sync on her labtop but now we are having issues and she continues to take my phone when I'm sleeping and connect it to iTunes and then proceed to go through all my things. So basically is there anyway I can remove my phone of iTunes or maybe have a pass code on iTunes for my phone so in order for it to be synced there has to be a passcode entered? Or just is there a way to stop this from happening?

  • Real Problems with Feedburner and iTunes. Please help!

    I've tried numerous things to figure out whats going on but havent been able to pin point it. Maybe someone here can help. My latest podcast episode has not shown up in iTunes yet and it has been almost 2 days. I've tried pinging the iTS and pinging feedburner but I'm not sure what's going on. For my first 2 podcasts everything went fine but for this one, the feedburners site says it was unable to create an enclosure for the podcast. Any clues on where to even start? I'm not really a code guy so I don't know what to do. Here's my feed URL and the site I post my podcasts too:
    http://moviepool.wordpress.com/feed/
    http://moviepool.wordpress.com
    feedburner feed:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/moviepool

    interesting. I see they are in the iTunes Store now. Last night after I pinged iTunes AND feedburner it didn't show up. What is the usual wait time for pinging the sites? Maybe I need to just be a little more patient
    All I care about are the actual mp3 episodes of my podcasts. I don't care about the other links or image files.

  • Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

    Is there a fix for the bluetooth connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.4?
    I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
    All worked OK with ISO 6.

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

  • Sync problem between iPhone and iTunes (Music&Books)

    Hello, I have a synchronization problem between the macbook and iPhone  5S. On the macbook I've Maverik updated and also the Iphone is updated.
    First problem: the timing so long, especially at the step of applications, compared to when it was fast, applications have not changed.
    Second problem: the music, I flagged "synchronizes the selected music" but all the flags on the selected artists are missing, despite what the music is on iPhone . I tried to flag again on itunes but all song was duplicate in Iphone.
    Third problem: the books, it happens the same music.
    The problem does not occur with the photo with the ringtones and videos.
    I've tried everything from simple restart of the mac and the iPhone, checked and updated macbook, iPhone and itunes. Repaired permissions on the mac.
    What can I do?
    thanks
    Bye
    Ciao, da un po' di giorni ho un problema di sincronizzazione fra il macbook e l' Iphone 5S. Sul macbook ho Maverik aggiornato e anche il telefono non JB è aggiornato.
    Primo problema: la sincronizzazione dura tanto, sopratutto allo step delle applicazioni, rispetto a quando era veloce le applicazioni non sono cambiate.
    Secondo problema: la musica, ho flaggato "sincronizza la musica selezionata" ma sono spariti tutti i flag sugli artisti selezionati, ciò nonostante la musica è presente sull' iphone. Ho provato a riselezionarli e me li duplica tutti.
    Terzo problema: i libri, succede la stessa della musica.
    Il problema non si manifesta con le foto con le suonerie e i video.
    Ho provato di tutto a partire dal semplice riavvio del mac e del telefono, controllato e aggiornato macbook, telefono e itunes. Riparato permessi sul mac.
    Cosa posso fare?
    grazie
    ciao

  • Problem with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3

    Hi everybody!
    First of all, please excuse my poor English: I'm French. I'll try to do my best to write as well as I can.
    I have some difficulties with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3.
    When I "sign up" (FR: "s'abonner") to some podcasts, they are not updated in my iPod nano indeed (and some others are), although iTunes says: "Your iPod is updated" (FR: "Votre iPod est à jour").
    I have no way to put these podcasts episodes in my iPod...
    Could you help me please?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi iFriend,
    try this, it worked for me:
    1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
    2) reboot the system
    3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
    4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
    5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
    6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
    7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
    8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
    as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
    if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
    bye, bye,

  • Problems with WRT160N and Xbox 360 - please help

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a WRT160N router and when I play games online (Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2) it takes around 10 min to find a game while in the lobby. I don't get kicked out or signed out of my profile it just takes a long time. It says that my NAT type is Open. I have isolated that the problem is the router because if I plug an ethernet cable from the 360 to the DSL modem I find games instantly. I have looked up port forwarding and opened the ports on the 360 and specifically for modern warfare 2 and it actually made my NAT type go to strict, ironic. I have spent 5 hours trying to mess with this and can't seem to get it working right. If someone could please help me on the settings or have any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have already tried reducing the MTU as well as the Beacon Level, Threshold, and Fragmentation. That did not work. To get the ip address of the modem is where I do cmd prompt ipconfig right. If so, I have not done that yet and since I am at work I will do that when I get home. the ports I have opened on the router for the xbox were 80, 88, 53, and 3074. Like I said when I did that it actually got worse cause my NAT was open but then it went to Strict.

  • Problem with IPod and Itunes

    Hi
    Can anyone please help me I installed Itunes latest version and updated the old version on the PC. Now when I connect my ipod it showsin the side bar of itunes only to give a message saying it is in recovery mode and I need to restore factory settings. After having done this reluctantly - it is supposed to then be visible after the ipod has rebooted in itunes - it isn't and if I connect again says the same thing about recovery mode. I now have an ipod that effectively has nothing on it and I cannot use has any had the same problem or got any ideas?
    Many Thanks
    Karen

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • IOS 6 wifi connectivity problem with iPhone 4s

    After recently updating both my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to iOS 6, I began to have problems with my wifi connection on my iPhone. When trying to connect to my home wifi, the iPhone seems to connect but then brings up the "Log In" screen with an Apple website loaded saying the page cannot be found. However my iPad, again also recently updated to iOS 6, has no problem connecting to wifi. Has anyone else experienced this conflict and is Apple working to correct this? My router is a standard U-Verse "2 wire" device. I have performed all the quick fixes I could think of such as restarting the router, restarting my phone etc. please help!

    I have a similar fault with my Lexus ct200h fsport, updated to ios 8.1.1 on my iphone4s 64, and the bluetooth sometimes disconnects during calls then re-connects again (by this time the person on the end has hung up)  .but bluetooth audio works fine. very frustrating!!

  • IOS5 update problems with iphone and ipad

    I first tried to update my iphone 4, with zero success. All software updated on my macbook pro, then when i began to update the iphone, i got stuck on "contacting iphone activation server". I can still manage my iphone and eject it, but no update. This was yesterday and 24 hours later whenver i turn on my ituens, it still says "contacting iphone activation server". iTunes is mostly functional still, but it won't connect to the iTunes store. Next I tried my iPad (1) which successfully updated, but even though I synced from a backup to iTunes, none of my apps or data is on the iPad other than my email. Now when I plug in my iPad I cannot manually manage it. The screen in iTunes when I click my iPad is just a grey screen that says iPad. No info, or buttons to choose manual or automatic update. And the iTunes bar at the top still says "accessing iTunes store", "contacting iphone activation server" and also "genius accessing iTunes store". I get that I'm obviously not connnecting to sites, but why is my ipad not responding in iTunes? I dont think that being connected to iTunes is that important to managing your iPad since I've done it several times with no internet connection.
    Please help! I really dont want to have to email myself all of my documents that I want on my iPad, or try to sync them over my webdav.
    Cheers

    I found a bit of a work around that is working for me, strange but it works. 
    Adding the photo album sub folders 1 at a time and syncing.  Then when it completes, add another one, confirm the pics are there and continue process.  I now have over 35k photos and no gaps or empty albums but if I do more than 2 or 3 they show up empty.
    If empty, unsync them, and add 1 at a time.  

  • Problem with Iphone and telephone provider

    In October last year I bought Iphone 4 in T com Croatia. In the beggining of October 2012 Iphone 4 had a problem with charging. It says charging, but nothing happened. I gave Iphone to telephone provider in order to send it on service because of warranty. After three weeks no information about it. I went there, in T com Pozega, and after I asked about my Iphone, they said, nothing yet. OK, I will wait more, I said. After almoust 4 weaks I went again to t com office in Pozega. Now, again nothing, but person told me that they will contac service Mobis electronic in Zagreb to check. They called me by phone next day and told me that Iphone is out of order because something was spilled on it. Now. I have a big problem. On the Iphone nothing was spilled for sure from my side. I asked them who can garanty that something was not spilled during the time in the T com office or in service. They said, service has a picture to support their report. In other hand, they offer to me to pay 200 euros more, and they will give me new Iphone 4. Just to know, I paid already for Iphone 4 almoust 500 euros. I said no, I want Iphone back, and now I decide to go with another way. I will go to judge and try to get situation to my satisfaction. A lots of information, very bad, I got from other people, and they said, the picture what I received they are sending to everyone the same. And for them it is very easy to ask more money and no repairing with warranty. The picture which I received is nothing, no picture of Iphone, no IMEI, nothing. I hope, you can advice me what to do. I like Iphone so much, and as many people told me, contact Apple, they will help, I am doing that. So, please, help me. Just for your information, they asked 200 euros additional for new, but after that cheaf of T com section in Pozega told me, that normally they are giving new Iphone and no repairing. Why then my Iphone they sent to service. Probably in order to keep money for themselves. I cant do much against service because their words are last, even they are lying to people.

    Getting into a legal battle will cost more than the 200 euros, so that may not provide a solution.  Go to the offices of T-Com and request their "official" first notification of a Customer caused failure of the iPhone.  Tell them you need it to pursue legal action against them for such an accusation and such a long-time to provide such an excuse for trying to extract additional money for your iPhone.  Try to talk with the Manager in charge of the location.  See if he/she is willing to negotiate to an agreeable settlement.  An iPhone 4 replacement should be available to them for far less than 200 euros at this point. 

  • Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

    When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen.  I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads.  Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts.  Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
    Now, one hour after second Support chat,  none of the devices can access the shortcuts.  There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
    lose a lot of progress in my games.
