Having trouble syncing my phone on iTunes

My phone will connect to my laptop, but it isn't showing up in iTunes and won't connect.

1)  That is not a question.  What "trouble" are you having?  hard to help without knowing the problem.
2) Type "waiting" into the forum search abr on the right side of this page and read one of the many posts on this subject.
3) Itunes on your computer?  Is itunes installed on your computer.  not sure what you are asking or what the issue is here.

  • I am having trouble syncing my books in itunes to my new iphone 5. Can someone help me? Thanks!

    Having trouble syncing books in my itunes to my iphone. I must be missing a step. Can someone help me? Thanks.

    How are you trying to do it ? If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S if using a PC.
    To sync books, connect the phone to your computer and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of iTunes select the Books tab :
    You should then be able to select which books/PDFs that you want to sync to the iBooks app (and/or which audiobooks to sync to the Music app).
    Is that how you are trying to do it ?

  • Having trouble syncing PDF file to itunes ibooks

    Hello:
    I am attempting to get a PDF file that I have on my iphone (ibooks) to sync to itunes.  For some reason, I am unable to get it to sync to itunes so I can read it on my laptop.  Please advise.
    Thanks

    I too am having the same issue.  I've noticed some of my pdf's I've saved on my iPad have transfered back to iTunes but some others aren't.  The reason this is an issue as I have more than one iDevice and would like to keep them in sync.  The pdf's that haven't synced back to iTunes are the Standford University Fall 2011 objective c pdf's.

  • Hi . im having trouble syncing my iphone in itunes

    Hi there, im trying to sync music in my iphone but my itunes keeps frozes and backing up.

    go to settings-> general-> Reset-> Erase all contents and settings. When ur phone finishes that, set it up as a new phone(instead of restoring from old back ups) and then sync with itunes. This should work.
    If that doesnt work too.. then delete the softwareupdate.ipsw file from itunes media folder and do a restore. This will download a new iOS file from apple which will be completely error free. (Do this only if the above step didnt solve the issue.)

  • I am having trouble syncing my songs in itunes to my ipod

    iTunes and my iPod always worked previously.  At one point, I removed all of my mp3s from my iTunes library, and then re-added them (I keep my mp3s in a separate computer/folder location then the itunes folders).  Then, syncing to my ipod stopped working.
    These are the errors that I am seeing:
    Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "<ipod>" because one or more errors occurred.
    iTunes could not copy "<song>" to the iPod "<ipod>" because the file could not be found.
    iTunes could not copy "<song>" to the iPod "<ipod>" because an unknown error occurred. (-120)
    The iPod "<ipod>" cannot be synced.  The required folder cannot be found.
    The sync gets through half of the A's, and then a few scattered artists afterwards.
    I've checked my itunes library and none of my songs have the red exclamation mark.
    I've tried resetting my ipod, uninstalling itunes and then re-installing itunes, scanning my ipod for disk errors (there are none).
    The only mp3s that aren't from my 'other' folder location are mp3s I've purchased from the iTunes store.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,
    crichmon

    Never mind:)  I finally found a post taht helped me figure out the problem.  You have to turn off the parental restrictions...duh!

  • HT4235 Having trouble syncing itunes playlist to ipod

    I am having trouble syncing my itunes playlist to the ipod touch. When I connect the ipod to the computer and open itunes, the ipod shows that it is in the sync process. However, the playlist does not show up. The Diagnostic Test shows "no ipod found". I installed the newest version of itunes and have reset the sync history.

    Hi windylina,
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    After connecting your iPod touch to the computer, choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have see the options to sync "Entire music library" and sync "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". If the latter is selected, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. It may be that the specific playlist you are referring to is not checked.
    For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

  • HT4236 I HAVE 2 HARD DRIVES ON MY LAPTOP. MY PHOTOS ARE ON 1 HARD DRIVE & MY ITUNES IS ON ANOTHER HARD DRIVE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE SYNCING THE PHOTOS FROM THE SEPERATE HARD DRIVE ONTO MY IPOD TOUCH. ANY HELP?

    I HAVE 2 HARD DRIVES ON MY LAPTOP. MY PHOTOS ARE ON 1 HARD DRIVE & MY ITUNES IS ON ANOTHER HARD DRIVE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE SYNCING THE PHOTOS FROM THE SEPERATE HARD DRIVE ONTO MY IPOD TOUCH. ANY HELP?

    There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
    There are problems both drive errors and USB errors.  I don't believe it.
    I have a hunch the drive is starving for power. 
    USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V.  Not all do.
    USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA.  Not all do.
    USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more.  Some violate that.
    USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that.  Especially disk drives.
    My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1].   Does your drive have the option for external power?  If so try it.  Following up on wtx's comment;  USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power.   Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification:  A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest.  I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.

  • Having trouble syncing my new phone and new number

    i am having trouble syncing my new phone and new number with my back up. it keeps saying autorize this computer I did but still not syncing please help

    Maybe I am missing something here, but I don't see a toolbar like that on my 4.0 version. I had already seen the help information. Thanks. I thought perhaps those were the directions for version 3.0? Am I missing a toolbar?

  • I recently had to reinstall iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so Im not able to sync my phone to iTunes.  How do I fix this?

    I recently reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so I'm not able to sync the phone with iTunes.  How do I fix this?

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

  • Is anyone having trouble syncing photos ?

    Some of my photos were messed up digitally, and had color blocks at the top or bottom, lighter areas in half the photo, the bottom half of the photo would be offset by a few pixels and just generally messed up. Some even looked color smeared (best way I can describe what I was seeing). After an exhaustive trial and error campaign, calling tech support once and taking the phone in to an Apple store, I finally have put my finger on the problem (I believe). I am running a Raid 1 setup with two identical drives. Each time I would sync photos to the iPhone I would have the problem. I had recently bought a USB/ATA external drive box and put one of my old harddrives in it that I wanted to recover some photos from. When I would transfer my pictures over to the single USB harddrive, and point iTunes to that location my photos would sync fine. I believe it is the Raid setup that is causing the problem. Raid must handle some files in such a way that Apple did not take in to consideration. I have called this in to tech support. I seem to be the only one with the problem so far.

    Is it an Intel Matrix Storage Manager, or something

    b noir,
    This is a great post. I am an the IT administrator at my office. 1 of 7 employees were having trouble syncing photo's. All 7 employees are using a version of VIST OS.
    I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, iTunes, Quick Time, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update several times. I deleted/edited registry, turned off all firwalls, etc. I still could not sync photo's. Seeing how this was a ne computer I asked the employee where the photo's were transferred from and she handed me a 60G WD Passport. I then proceeded to sync the photo's directly from the external drive to the iPhone, and.....every photo synced. I was hoping not have to contact apple support, so thanks.

  • Having trouble syncing iPad to get movies onto it.....any ideas?

    For some reason I am having trouble syncing movies onto my iPad. They are in my iTunes library, I check the box hit apply/sync then nothing.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Been there, done that...........
    It appears that when I sync it seems the sync is syncing the computer with the iPad not iPad with computer.
    I have delegated all movies on iPad when I check some movies on iTunes it adds the purple bar at the bottom and availability of space decreases accordingly. When I hir apply/sync it goes through the process then when finishes step four the purple bar at the bottom goes and available space increases again.
