!!HELP!! I can't sync my iPhone to my laptop since I got iTunes 11
Can anyone help? If I go on <File-Devices> the sync icon is greyed out, and the <Sync now> button is greyed out on my iPhone
I've deteled and reinstalled (didn't work)
I've downloaded the last version (couldn't open the library because I had played music on the newer version [something like that]
I don't know what else to do and I'm at my wits end
Please help before I thrown it all out the window even if it's to help me get the last version working again
Erase and reset all settings on your phone Erase and reset all settings on your phone Erase and reset all settings on your phone Erase and reset all settings on your phone Erase and reset all settings on your phone.
What I did, was kept the USB cable connected to the phone, opened iTunes, then reset all settings on the iPhone.
As I already had a backup on the computer, I restored from my backup, and hey...Ho, it started to sync my music library....at last.
So that was.. (iPhone settings) (general) (reset) (erase all content and settings)
All done with iTunes on, and phone plugged into USB slot.
I was going around and around in huge circles before deciding to try this.
Hope this can sort at least 1 phone out.

I recently updated from Windows 8 to 8.1. Now I can't sync my iPhone 5. I have the latest version of iTunes and my phone is updated as well. It worked fine with Windows 8. Now iTunes doesn't show my phone when it's connected. My computer does recognize that my phone is connected. Is there a fix for Windows 8.1?
these are common problems with windows 8.1 and you can point the fault at MS not iTunes

I can't sync my iphone 4s with my music downloaded to itunes
can't sync my iphone 4s with music i have downloaded to i tunes.
Check the following:
You have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
You have checks next to all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There aren't any exclaimation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone (which indicates that iTunes can't locate them on your computer)
Your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase music that your want to sync to your phone (under Store>Authorize this Computer)
You have selected to Sync Music on the Music tab of your itunes sync settings. -

Can I sync two Iphones to one laptop?
I have a 4s and my wife has a 4. Can we both snyc to the same laptop, to use itunes to load music onto both phones?
Yes - you can just share the same Apple ID or sync any number of devices you want with separate IDs.
To prevent getting each others messages though after doing this (if you share IDs) - go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only your phone number is checked. -
Can you sync 2 iPhones (a 3G & 4) with the same iTunes?
I would like to use both phones but with different SIM cards and sync them separately with different information. Can I do this from the 'same' iTunes or do I have to set up two separate iTunes?
You can sync as many iphones/ipad/ipods as you like to one itunes library/computer.
Each will only sync what you tell it to sync. -

Hello there, Darrelk.
The following Knowledge Base article has information for syncing from your iOS devices:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Specifically:
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..
So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful. -
