How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

    How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB? Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
    Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer. But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
    (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
thank you!

Turn off mobile data?
Talk to your carrier about the usage increase.

IPhone 4S only shows up in iTunes when connected to the laptop through USB, even though wifi sync has been enabled

Why will my 4S only show up in iTunes when it is connected to the laptop through USB? Even though I have ticked the box for the wifi sync and had no problems with it being plugged into the wall and still showed up in iTunes up until a few days ago. Help please !

Connect your iPhone to your computer and click on it, you should see an option under options for 'sync with this phone over wi-fi' unclick it and it should stop connecting over wifi.

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1. How can I fix this?

Is it an Airprint-compatible printer, and is its WiFi enabled if it is? (see: About AirPrint)
If it isn't an Airprint supported printer, then you need a 3rd party driver on your iMac to print from an iPhone. Such as Printopia. As it worked in the past you probably have such a printer driver installed; check and see if it's running.
Beyond that try restarting the printer, restarting the phone, restarting your router, and restarting your computer.

It sounds like your new phone is not appearing in iTunes on your computer. Depending on the version of your OS, the instructions are a different.

IPhone 4 not syncing automatically with iTunes

Hi everyone,
my old iPhone (original 2G) was syncing automatically when I opened iTunes. This does not work with my new iPhone 4. I have to hit the Sync button in the lower right manually. Did I miss a setting somewhere?
I am not talking about automatically opening iTunes when the iPhone is connected!
Thanks
Björn

Welcome to  Discussions, loganmickel!
I don’t know what I could do to explain this issue any further. Don’t want to sound rude, so here’s a hint...

How do I set up original windows 8 DVD on a Macbook air when my external drive needs both usb ports?

got a brand new macbook air and want to set up an original Windows 8 DVD via bootcamp. Probleme: my external DVD needs 2 usb port connection so I want have a chance to plug in an usb drive at the same time.
Any other choice to get along?

ok I'll try this - why didn't I have this problem with my previous Macbook air - I cannot remember how I managed setting up an original Win 7 with exact.the same equipement. Has the bootcamp Software changed? I remember burning a cd with the Windows Driver.

Automatically starting iTunes when connecting iPhone

I have tried searching the community board but I haven't fouind an answer that fits my problem.
I am running Win 7, iTunes 11.03.42 with a iPhone 4S.
When I open iTunes, Preferences, there is no option to check that says open iTunes on connection. I remember that from older versions of iTunes.
What do I do to make iTunes start upon connection of my iPhone?
Thanks, everyone

Howdy Westslope,
Here is an article outlining a preference that would prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
iTunes 10 for Windows: Prevent unprompted syncing of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1677
To prevent unprompted syncing for a specific iPod, iPhone, or iPad:
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device (below Devices).
Click Summary, and then deselect “Open iTunes when this Device is connected.”
To prevent unprompted syncing for all iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices:
In iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences.
Click Devices.
Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted.
To sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when unprompted syncing is disabled, connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer, and then choose File > Sync “Device Name” in iTunes, or click your device (below Devices) and then click Sync.
In the second part of that snippet
"Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted."
It will also prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT4113 How do I set up my iphone & password to upload pictures to itunes?

I have pictures on my iPhone4S and I want to ultimately upload them to Craig's List. I normally only use itunes with my ipod and have never uploaded pictures from my phone to itunes. How d I get started? Thanks

iTunes does not hold photos on your PC.
There are instructions for copying photos off a device to a computer here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
It's done outside of iTunes, e.g., by the camera wizard on a Windows PC or by iPhoto on a MAC.

Hey Ray1992,
I understand that your iPhone is not seen on your computer using Windows 7. Take a look at the article below to walk you through multiple troubleshooting options to get it working. Start with making sure that your iPhone trusts the computer and work your way down the article to get it to show back up.

How can I play my ITunes music stored on my IMac via Apple TV through my home theatre system and control it from my IMac?

My ITunes library is stored on my IMac which is connected to B&W desktop speakers. My music system is connected to my IMac via USB through a Benchmark DAC. I use Pure Music software and am able to simultaneously play music on my IMac in my study and my main music system in the living room.
My home theatre system is connected by Apple TV via the home network to the IMac. I can access my ITunes library from the TV using the Apple TV remote control. But when I try to play music from the computer and stream to the TV / home theatre, I am unable to make the connection. I tried activating Airplay, but I still cannot get the music to play.
I would appreciate any advice on how to set this up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

How do I set-up my IPhone and IPad to print wireless to a Epson xp-600 printer

How do I set-up my iphone and ipad to wireless print using a epson xp-600 wireless printer. Instructions with the epson ask's to load the disc in each computor that you want to use this printer. Do I have to sync each device to the mac for this to happen

Fortunately, the Epson XP-600 is AirPrint compatible!

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

How do I set up my iphone 5 so that I can access my family account? Recently I purchased music from itunes using my apple id, and now I cannot find those songs in our cloud. I wanted to add those songs to my ipod. Do I have to buy them again using my husband's apple id?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.
