How do i sync my iphone with itunes on windows 8?

I have Windows 8 and I cannot sync my iphone 5 to my itunes.
When I open Itunes, I go to File > Devices > but i cannot select the Sync options.
I don't know why.
I am thinking it is because i am using Windows 8. however I have checked my updates, and itunes says i'm currently upated with itunes (11.0.4)
Please help!!! it's really frustrating because i want the music on my itunes to go on my iphone!!
Thank you!!

Hello Indyrue,
It sounds like you are not seeing the options to sync in the latest version of iTunes. I found an article that has steps for syncing with iTunes 11:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Normally, you should be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes without losing anything
What can happen is that you might have emptied your iTunes library for any reason such as a system restore

Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Make sure you see the iPhone under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
Then select from the menu what you want to sync.. Music / Apps / Video / Podcasts etc.
Tunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive". Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

How do I sync an iPhone with iTunes when it's already sync'd with another?

My old mac died - hard drive went, so I'm starting a fresh now and I've tried to sync my iPhone with the new iTunes but because it is still sync'd to the old one it wants to delete everything off the phone. Is there anyway I can sync without losing everything?
Thanks,

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on one computer only. When syncing iTunes content with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone that was transferred to the iPhone from another computer will be erased first. The same applies to photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
Contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers.
If you don't have a backup for your old Mac that includes your iTunes library, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize the Mac you will be syncing your iPhone with - with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If you will be syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on the Mac you will now be syncing your iPhone with and both applications haven't been used and are void of any data, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar events in iCal before syncing this data. Makes these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.

how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
Connect the device.
Select the device.
Select Sync.
In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default. With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.
