Help Iphone won't sync after iTunes update

So I just updated iTunes to the newest version in preparation for the 3.0 software, My OS is 10.5.7 and Itunes is the latest version and now my iphone won't sync, it will back up but when it says phone syncing it just stops and the spinning ball comes up and then will not go away, tried restarting, anyone have any ideas?

Restart computer. Power off/on iPhone. Re-connect. If that doesn't work....I had a similar problem. I just downloaded iTunes 8.2 direct from apple website and re-installed....solved my problems.

  • Ipod won't sync after iTunes update

    After doing ALL of the things apple support said to do to solve the problem, it still is not fixed. I still cannot sync my ipod touch 5s with the new itunes. I reinstalled it twice, did the whole device support thing. It still won't work.
    I did EVERYTHING. And it still won't work.
    Can someone please help me with this? I heard something working for iphone, but not ipod 5s.
    And my music was halfway synced when itunes stopped working bcs the update was done which basically means i can't listen to my music because as far as it shows on my ipod, the songs aren't on them.
    APPLE: LET ME GO BACK TO THE OLD ITUNES! Or fix this god **** problem.

    See the following. Do not forget the Additional Information paragraph.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    The iPod will not show up in Finder.

  • IPod Nano won't sync after iTunes update to 11

    My 5th Generation iPod Nano will not sync to iTunes 11. I am running iTunes 11.0.1, on an one year old iMac running on an Intel Core i5, running MacOS X 10.8.2 with 4 GB of memory. Now that we got that out of the way-- I use this iPod daily. Once I updated to iTunes 11, synching has been sporatic. Once I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens like it should, however the iPod never appears in the iTunes window, only in the Finder. I have done the following:
    ejected the iPod from the Finder window and then unplugged it, and reattached the iPod.
    Quit iTunes and restarted, reStarted the iPod by toggling the power switch and holding the Menu/Select buttons until it restarted.
    Rebooted my computer
    Restored the iPod nano
    Results are the same. Sometimes it will sync, after an extended period of time, without reason. Once I eject and need to reconnect the device, I am unable to get it to sync. Sometimes I have ended up with a spinning beachball and have force quit iTunes and sent a report and a description, but Apple doesn't seem to have come up with an update yet.
    I can tell you this-- I have not seen an iPod that would be a suitable replacement for this one-- I love not having to look at the screen to operate it's simple controls, and it is the perfect size.
    I can also tell yo uthis-- The new suprise user interface on iTunes 11 is clunky and requires too many steps to maintain my playlists. Do not like it.
    Suggestions?

  • IPhone won't sync after iTunes Upgrade

    I was prompted to upgrade to iTunes v8.1, which I did over the weekend. When trying to install it I get this error message:
    “The software you are installing for this hardware:
    DVD/CD-ROM drives
    Has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP … “
    The install will then carry-on. When go into iTunes I get this error message:
    “The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for reporting and burning CD and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.”
    (I had installed other CD burning software, but had deleted it before trying the upgrade). It will let me into iTunes, but when I plug my iphone in, it will charge it, but won’t sync. When I plug the phone in, my laptop does open a box asking me which camera software I want to use.
    I’ve tried re-installing iTunes several times (including deleting ‘Apple Mobile Device’), but it hasn't made a difference. My laptop is Windows XP

    Wasted hours on this. Solved it in the end & thought the solution might be useful for others. There were 2 problems:
    1. The Gear software drivers were missing / incorrect. Had to re-install them. That didn't work straight away so I then had to edit a registry setting.
    2. The iPhone still was only appearing as an imaging device, not under USB Controllers in Device Manager. I eventually found out that I had to reinstall the drivers. Couldn't find them at first. Finally found them in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    This all happened when I upgraded to iTunes v8.1.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • IPhone won't sync with iTunes.  Help?

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It just says, "waiting for sync to start." But no matter how long I leave it like that, it never syncs.  Wirelessly or via USB.  I have restarted both my computer and my phone.  I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the software on my phone is up to date.  Nothing seems to work.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    I found this on another thread --
    Keep your iphone connected. Quit iTunes. Reopen iTunes. Sync begins automatically. It worked for me and several others who had already followed the advice.
    So easy.

  • My iPhone won't sync with iTunes cause it says some disk can't be found

    my iPhone won't sync with iTunes cause it says some disk can't be found

    Did you check your secuirty software settings? iTuens needs to contact Apple during the sync process.
    Also try to remove all Apple related software and reinstall iTunes after that. Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista and 7

  • Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

    Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

    Is synching over wi-fi viable?  I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses.  I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

  • IPhone won't sync after upgrading to Leopard

    My iPhone won't sync, or even show up in iTunes, after upgrading to Leopard. I've tried restarting my Macbook Pro, trying different USB slots, closing and reopening iTunes, everything. Has anyone else had this problem??
    I've tried everything apple suggests:
    1. The iPhone battery might need to be recharged. For information about charging iPhone, see "Charging the Battery" in the iPhone User's Guide.
    2. If that doesn't work, disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPhone to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
    3. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
    4. If that doesn't work, restart your computer and reconnect iPhone to your computer.
    5. If that doesn't work, download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Follow the link below for info on how to do this.

  • IPhone won't sync after installing Leopard

    Hi,
    This weekend I updated my Mac Mini's system to 10.5.5 from 10.4.11 and I discovered that my iPhone won't sync now. I do get the little bleep sound when I plug it in and it will charge, but it won't sync. I have tried rebooting both the Mac Mini and the iPhone, but to no avail. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks much,
    David

    1) Try re-installing iTunes
    2) Try removing and reinstalling AMDS: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

  • HT4623 IPHONE WILL NOT SYNC AFTER NEW UPDATE.

  • HT1386 iPad or iPhone won't sync with iTunes

    My iPad or iPhone will not sync with iTunes. I have googled it and none of those suggestions worked. I don't see the device listed in the sidebar or on the top. It doesn't recogonize the unit when I first plug it in as to what I want to do. I have shut it off and turned it back on but nothing happens. All the software is up to date.
    Can anyone help???

    Have either synced with the computer before?
    NO,
    Authorize the computer for your iTunes Account.
    Turn home sharing on both computer and devices.
    Yes,
    Is iTunes up to date on the computer? Mac or Windows? iPad should be running 7.0.4, not 6.1.4.
    Close iTunes completely, then load iTunes again.

  • My iPhone will not sync with iTunes update

    With the last update my iPhone will not sync.

    I, too, updated to ios 7.0.6 and immediately couldn't synch music to my iPhone. I erased the phone twice and ended up in a loop and couldn't even boot, just the Apple logo over and over. This worked for me:
    Hold down the home button (on the front) simultaneously with the button on the top. After 10-15 seconds the Apple log appears again and loads IOS slowly. Once was loaded, my music was back. Annoyingly, it only seems to update from the cloud.
    At least my iPhone works now.
    I can't believe Apple didn't catch this before they screwed up their customers.
