HT1296 I updated my OS X to 10.6.3 now my iphone will not sync with my computer.  What do I do?

My iphone 4S will not connect with my Macbook Pro since I updated to OS X 10.6.3.  It says it is waiting for the computer to be available.

Did you update iTunes before this problem started? Maybe a security software conflict was created when you updated iTunes. If not, you may need to update iTunes for it to recognize the iPhone, since it was updated.
An easy thing you can try is restarting the iPhone. You can also try testing with another USB adapter cable.
And, Apple has a helpful doc here -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • 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.

  • I updated itunes and now my songs will not sync from the computer to ipod

    I just updated my itunes software and my song will not transfer to the ipod. I tryed a new port but tha seems unlikly because itunes does reconize the ipod it just will not update the songs. I restarted the ipod that did not work so i updated the installed software and refreshed the ipod noe I have no songs because it wiped out the ones that were there from the old sync. I have tryed doing a manual update as apposed to the automatic update but that did not work either. I have tryed turning off my anti virus software but that did not work??? any ideas?

    Ive had the same problem and I restored my i-pod then when i hooked up the i-pod it said it was full and asked If I wanted it to select a few songs to put on, i clicked yes thinking It meant it would just put my selected songs on but then it put 675 songs out of the library on when i only have 67 checked. they play wether tehyre checked in the Library or not, is there any way to fix this?

  • HT1296 my iphone 5 will not sync with new computer

    I have been having issues in syncing my iphone 5 with my new desktop

    Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

  • Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars

    Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars.I have a 30g and 60g 5th gen iPods that I use in my two car. In my cars I have a dealer installed integration module so that I can navigate my I pods play list artist and song titles using the radio itself. Ever since that last iTunes update 7.3.1. I no longer am able to use this feature. I used my sister’s 30g iPod that she did has not updated and the system works fine. Can someone help me with this problem.

    I have had an Alpine head unit in my car with the ipod connection for about a year and it has worked fine until recently. Now I get an error message on the ipod that reads, "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this ipod." I have tried connecting a buddy's ipod to my car stereo, and his still works fine with it. I've done the 5 R's, tried going back to an older version of itunes as Alpine suggested. My next step will be going to the Apple store with an appointment, seeing what they say.

    Good Morning,

    The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

  • After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!

    After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!
    I searched for some solutions on the internet and applied following fixes:
    1- Disconnected iphone from PC and closed itunes.
    2- Reset the iphone by holding down the On/Off button.
    3- Connected iphone back to PC to sync with itunes.
    Apparently this fixed the problem, and iphone synced with itunes.

    same here, but now you can't downgrade to iOS 7.x, since apple has closed the verification server for that version.

  • I was updating the software on my iphone4. I got a message saying that it could not update. Now my iphone will not reboot. It only shows a pic to connect to itunes, but nothing is happening when i connect it.

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

    iphone 5 will not sync with itunes stating that I must update itunes to 10.7, itunes tells me it is up to date at 10.6. How can I get my new phone to sync with old computer?

    You need to install Mac OS X 10.6, which requires an Intel Mac and at least 1GB RAM.
