Connecting the iPhone to a laptop
I have now downloaded iTunes (the latest version) to my laptop, but have not entered my account info or anything to it, just some CD's that were on my hard drive from Windows Media Center. What would happen if I were to connect either my iPod or iPhone to my laptop?
Thanks

When i connect my iphone to my laptop and start the latest version of itunes it asks me to reset my iphone before synching it to the itunes. i have got important data in my phone and i don't want to loose it in anyone. Please help me ! tell me what should i do ?
PS: i have got iOs 4 on my iphone.You should have been syncing your iphone with your computer from day one.
Have you failed to do this?
You should be importing all pics/vids taken with your iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. -
I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours. -
I ripped a new CD to iTunes and backed up to the cloud. The songs are already on my iPhone 4S, but I can't get them on my iPad. I already connected the iPad to my laptop and selected "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi". On the iPad I forced a Sync. Help!
Try deleting and redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
when i connect my iphone to my laptop and open itunes it shows my iphone has nothing on it(no music, no movies, etc...) then when i try to sync it says iphone is is full and can only put in a selected amount of songs. Take in mind this is my first time to sync with this laptop(HP 15 ENVY) and as well my laptop is just brand new. just got it a week ago. so how do i fix this prob. and also when i open my itunes store and then view my account it says error occurred either debug it through Microsoft visual studio or close program. I tired copying all the .dll files to the itunes folder didn't help
I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

my friend connected my iphone to his laptop and now his apple ID is on my iphone- how do I change it back to my apple ID on my phone so that I can purchase from itunes again?
thanks.Restore your phone using the last backup that you made. That should put everything back the way it was.

When i connect my iPhone to my laptop it will only come up with the option to restore from backup, this has happened 3 times tonight
Can anyone help?The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS. -
I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck -
I connect my iphone to my laptop and my iphone wont open to my itunes HELP!
i connect my iphone to my laptop, and my iphone wont open to my itunes!
help !!!Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

HT1349 my laptop got corrupted and recovered but i am not able to connect my iphone to my laptop
my laptop got corrupted and recovered but i am not able to connect my iphone to my laptop. Pls help me to recovery my iphone.
I had the same problem with my wife's iPhone 4, go to settings, network an see if 3G is activated in your phone, also check if data is activated, if this don't work, than the problem is not in the phone but with the carrier.
Your phone may show the 3G or the Edge network icon next to the signal bar, but 3G and Edge may not be really activated for your phone in your carrier network, even if you have a data plan, sometimes their activation department kind of forget to activate the full service in their network, it already happen to us several times.
Call your carrier and confirm if they really activated the 3G or Edge data in your phone in their network according to your data plan . They may need your phone's EMEI and ICCID numbers, you will find it at settings, info
Hope that helps -
I cannot transfer my music from my itunes to my iphone 5s after i connected my iphone to another laptop yesterday. please help me out
If you are trying to drag a song over, do you have Manually Manage Music checked in iTunes? You need to check your iTunes settings before trying to put music on it. It may be that you have it set to sync. Check the Summary page of iTunes after you have selected the iPhone in iTunes.

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.
Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
