  • I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

    So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

    Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
    I have no idea what that means.
    I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.

    Hello Alex_boi941,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone's power button is not functioning correctly.  To be able to get full functionality of your phone, it would need to be repaired.

  • I am having trouble connecting my iphone 4 to my imac via bluetooth.

    I tried to pair my iPhone with my iMac but it didn't work. The Mac first says the connection is successful but the iPhone tells me it was not and forgets the iMac. Then I go into the Bluetooth menu on the iMac and there is a red dot next to the iPhone on the menu saying that it is not connected. Is there a specific way or order that this needs to be done in or software I need?

    You can't connect your iPhone to your iMac via BT. Simple as that.

  • Anyone having trouble connecting your iPhone 5 to the Big Blue Live Speaker?

    I have an old iPod touch.  I've been using the Big Blue Live speaker a bluetooth connected device.  Never a problem. 
    I am now trying to connect it to my iPhone5, which I upgraded to ios8.  It does not want to pair.  It is not recognizing the Big Blue Live.
    Anyone know what the problem could be?
    Thank you

    I was finally able to pair my big blue with an iphone 6.

  • Having trouble connecting my iPhone 4 to iTunes

    My iPhone 4S won't connect to iTunes anymore and when charging the connection is now temperamental.  What can I do?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • I am having trouble syncing my iPhone: photos and music will not sync

    I have upgraded to iOS5, I have a iPhone4.  iCloud is all set up.  Mac is upgraded to Lion.  When I connect to iTunes, it allows me to click the sync button and appears to go through the process.  When finished there are no photos or music that are set to sync.
    I did try unclicking the sync music, then syncing and then reclicking the music - no avail.
    Suggestions?

    That didnt help. it keeps coming upwith this.....
    iTunes cant verify the identity of the sever "p46-buy.itunes.apple.com"
    thecertificate for this serverhas expired. you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "p46-buy.itunes.apple.com" witch could put your confidential information at risk. would you like to connect to the server anyway?
    what does this mean??

  • I downloaded the soft wear update now my iPhone is running slow I'm haveing trouble connecting Wifi what can I do?

    I Downloaded the new softwear update now my iPhone is running slow I'm haveing trouble connecting wifi what can I do!

    "Not only did it download a new version of itunes, but it also downloaded MS Word updates, and other software that required updating."
    MS Word is not an Apple product so it could not've downloaded with all the Apple software updates.
    "I clicked File > Check for Updates"
    What program were you running to do that?
    In any case boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Uility.
