Every time I plug my phone into my computer it starts to sync, but when I try to click on the info page, it says "Cannot sync calenders, or contacts' and then randomly crashes. Any help?

OK. So this started just, maybe 2 days ago, and I haven't done anything with it. Actually, it just started happening AFTER I updated iTunes (Silly iTunes!), which would have been 2 days ago. I really need some help!

Hi joy145,
If you are having issues syncing and would like to manually manage your content, you may find the following article helpful:
Apple Support: Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you are still having issues or continually prompted to erase and sync, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings before moving your data over (either via syncing or manually):
Apple Support: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
(Note: Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info.)
Regards,

Why does my phone sync every time I plug my phone into my computer?

Every time I plug my phone through my computer it sync's it. I takes a long time for my phone to sync with my computer. I was wondering why this was happening all the time and why does it take so long to sync?

Because that is the way Apple made it.
Whenever your phone is connected and iTunes is open it syncs.
If for whatever reason you do not want iTunes to open and synch with the iPhone, go into iTunes and turn that feature off.

Hey nataliexcupcakes,
If your iPhone isn't appearing under Devices in iTunes after you connect it, and it can't be restored, you'll want to follow along with this article for a resolution:

My microsoft keeps telling me to rebuild but when I do it doesn't complete it. It says it might have to be with my back up. any help?

Any time I open up microsoft word, powerpoint, or excel it is telling me to rebuild so I follow the steps. It goes through all the steps but once it gets to the end it won't complete... I don't know how to fix this. It is saying it could be something to do with my back up that I am using. help??

This is exactly what it says when I open any office program
"Your Office database index is missing and needs to be rebuilt. This is usually caused by restoring an identity with Time Machine."

IPhoto launches every time i plug my iPad into my iMac

Every time I plug my ipad into my imac to sync it launches iphoto. Not sure why this continues to happen. Anyone have any ideas that can help me??

No promises but a system Reset cures many ills and takes but a minute to perform:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A Reset does NOT delete apps, photos, movies, music or any other data. A Reset does NOT delete any settings for email, network access, etc.
Also, you might wish to download the 4.2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 170.

My iPod playlists are deleted every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro.

Every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro, my iPod playlists are deleted. I have all the sync features turned off on both the iPod and computer. What is happening? I hate having to remake my "Workout" playlist everytime I plug in!

Correct. All sync features are turned off and if is 'manually manage' somewhere, I have checked the box to do so. So basically everything is set for me to manage manually, yet my iPod playlists are still being deleted.

I have repeated devices in iPhoto; it seems that every time I plug my phone or iPad to my computer it makes a entry in devices, how do I stop this?

I have repeated devices in iPhoto; it seems that every time I plug my phone or iPad to my computer it makes a entry in devices (if iPhoto is on or not), how do I stop this? Here is a current grab from my iPhoto screen. If I click on one of the old entries a bunch of blank squares appear for the images. The last device in the list for each phone works..

Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

Hy there,
In order for you to solve this problem you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

I created a new apple id account so that I didnt have to share my icloud with my brother, if i plug my phone into my computer onto my new account and sync it, then delete my old icloud from my phone will my new icloud be backed up and have all my pics ect

I've just created this new apple ID account and i need to know that if i plug my phone into my computer and sync my phone onto my new account, then delete my old icloud and apple account from my phone will my things be backed up onto my new icloud? such as my pictures notes contacts music ect... ?

Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

I have an iphone 4s and recently purchased a 5 for my wife. When I plug her phone into our computer I'm asked if I want to set up as a new phone or back up. I'm not sure what to do her phone is already set up with an icloud account. Can I sync her phone with the player that I have installed and transfer content to her phone or will my phone be removed from the player?

Set up as new, since it newer has been connected to iTunes. Your iPhone will remain on iTunes. I have 4 different devices on my iTunes with no problems.
And regarding the sync - it will sync whatever you tell it to sync on iTunes.

Hey TBL64,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. I found the following information that should help you out:
...to restore from an iCloud backup, erase your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Enter your AppleID and password when prompted.
