Dead iPhone after synching with newly downloaded version.

I just bought a new computer and updated/synched my iPhone to the latest iTune. Now it won't turn back on and iTunes doesn't recognize when its plugged in. What do I do?

Try plugging your phone into iTunes and hold down the power and round button for a LONG time until the "plug into itunes" icon appears (ignore the apple logo appearing and keep holding down the keys).
It may be that your download of iPhone 2.0 was corrupted and you'll end up here again (or with another error).
If you're using a mac you can go into the user files on the hard drive under itunes and delete the files in the iphone subfolder - then try this again.
Once iTunes then sees an iPhone connected it will realize it doesn't have any iPhone files and go reacquire 2.0 (hopefully with a clean download). Genius bar told me today that the overload in download attempts "may" have corrupted some of the firmware download files - and if that happens - your attempts to restore from your iTunes files won't get you anywhere cause it keeps using the bad firmware download.
I don't know why Apple doesn't just post the steps for this fix on the web as the genius bar was stacked with consumers in line with frozen Gen 1 iPhones.
Good luck

Empty Playlist on iPhone after Synching with iTunes Match

I just got iTunes match and at first, it looked like a brilliant idea. Problem is, I imported 7500 songs from my network drive (the wife, the kid and I share the same music folder) and start uploading to iTunes Match. Then I created 3 folders in my playlists. 1 for me, 1 for my wife and one for my kid. Inside each folders, I created a bunch of playlist... more or less 500 total
Since I did that, I can see ALL the playlist on my iphone 4 which is very cool, but some playlist are empty... even though I can see they are not in Itunes.
My original thought was to simply empty the playlist from iTunes that my iPhone saw as empty and just drag the songs I wanted again... it worked on some playlist but not on all... even worst, some playlist that were "ok" are now empty.... what's going on here???
On a more personal note: How imbecile is this to not be able to "physically" synch the playlist that I want to my iphone and simply show the rest of my library in iTunes Match. Some music I want to have on my iPhone and I just don't want to download it again, especially the songs I bought on iTunes, I KNOW they are in good quality... how hard would it be to simply let me synchronize the files that I want and have iTunes Match handle the rest. This whole thing about letting iTunes match handle EVERYTHING is simply ******** and I seriously hope they correct that. Some people will want to be able to download everything, some like me will want to manage the content... can't believe they just didn't see this coming... just my 2 cents.

i had the same problem...
found the solution at this website and it worked for me...

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

I just plugged in my Iphone after 4 weeks of downloading music and adding contacts around 400 to be excact and it whipped all my data out and I have no photos nothing reset to factory defult and I cannot even listen to music I purchased because it skips

I just plugged in my Iphone after 4 weeks of downloading music and adding contacts around 400 to be excact. When I plugged it in my computer it started to sync with iTunes and it whipped all my data out. I have no photos contacts nothing, so I then in a rage reset to factory defult and I cannot even listen to music I purchased because it skips. I just want my phone back

Was this the very first time you ever plugged the phone into that computer?
Did you pay attention to the prompts you were given when you plugged it in?
Did you have iCloud backups turned on before you did this? I hope so... If you did, restore the phone from the last iCloud backup from before you wiped it. If not, then the photos, etc. are gone. Apps and music can be re-downloaded.

My IPhone, after synching the last few times, has inherited both my husband and my daughter's music libraries. How do I un-do this and keep this from happening in the future?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

TS1363 My Iphone stopped synching with my computer

Can anyone give me any ideas? My Iphone stopped synching with my Itunes. I can see the phone on my computer but Itunes does not recognize it.

I have a similar issue with iTunes and my iPhone 5S (7.0.4). Of course this was after the most recent update to iTunes blew away iTunes and the forum here walked me through the process to get iTunes back. I used to be able to plug in my iPhone 5S to my PC and sync'ing worked flawlessly. Now it seems that either the new update to iTunes of this latest software update to the iPhone prevents the sync'ing of music ptoperly.
Of further note is the fact that when I would make a manual change to a playlist on the iPhone directly and then sync'd it with iTunes, the changes I made on the iPhone were wiped out. I don't know which is the problem but it seems that the 2 are not compatible.
After the issues I had (as many others had) with the latest update to iTunes, I won't update iTunes any time in the near future. I am sorry that I did and I am also sorry that I allowed the update to my iPhone happen a month ago.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

HT1386 how to delete photos from iphone after syncing with itunes

Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

How can I get my iphone to synch with Outlook? I do not want to use Icloud.

I am a realtor and have used Outlook for years, but am unable to get my iphone to synch with Outlook. Does anyone have a solution? I have been to the Apple store and have had more than one person working on it, to no avail.

Not sure what you've already tried, but sometimes you have to uninstall iTunes and all it's components as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes. (This would be necessary if the Outlook plugin is missing or corrupt.) You won't loose your iTunes library or media by doing this.

Hi sdfulbright,
Open iTunes, and under View, select "Show Sidebar". The old sidebar you are used to will show up, and everything will work the way it did under the old iTunes.
Hope this helps!

Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings. Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

Iphone 4 synch with itouch 2g on same PC using iTunes 9.21 but it is trying

iphone 4 synch with itouch 2g on same PC using
iTune 9.2.1.. somehow all of the iTouch apps [2G 32GB] is trying to install into the new iPhone 4. How do I prevent it... it keeps saying sync in Progress and I am not sure if I should remove it from iTunes.. since I am afraid it might remove it from the iTouch when I connect it back. I thought iTunes would regard both devices as being distinct and not sharing the same iTunes folder??? I just set up iPhone 4 as a new device in iTunes 9.2.1 and I had synch iTouch 2G before on the same PC.. now it is trying to copy everything from the iTouch to the iphone... I tried everything but it is still trying to do this

Thanks, but I don't think that the shared libary feature in iTunes creates actual shares, does it? I have my own library shared but I don't see any shares showing up in Computer Management.
I don't think it's applicable, but in this case the "Bill" account actually has administrator-level access on most computers on the network, while "Steve" has limited access.
I may not be remembering correctly, but it seems to me that "Bill" has accessed a couple of the missing libraries while previously on computer A. It really seems like there is something within my library that is blocking those libraries; maybe I had accessed them but then they were disconnected abruptly or something and now iTunes/Bonjour marks them as disconnected.
It's a minor issue, but at this point it has become frustrating enough that I really want to figure this out, but I'm running out of ideas...
Thanks.

Plz after synch with laptop the apps not working well

plz after synch with laptop the apps not working well

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
