HT1296 syncing from computer to phone

1. Why does my iPhone 4 not show up on My Computer as a Device? And yet it beeps accordingly, and iTunes starts up, so I must be connected?
2. I want to move music from my computer onto my iPhone, but sync'ing does nothing, as though I am not connected?
Help! I'm a faily computer-literate retired woman, but this has me baffled. And, yes, I have rebooted!

Work through the other troubleshooting steps in the article, including the iPhone troubleshooting assistant. If you are still having problems, even though you mentioned you already uninstalled iTunes, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

How do i sync full resolution photos from computer to phone?

anyone know how to sync full resolution photos from computer to phone using itunes? itunes does not show the option to "include full resolution photos." photos i'd like to sync include both photos taken with iphone and photos i've taken with another camera. i also don't have to use itunes, whichever program gets the photos in their separate folders back onto my iphone in full resolution is fine. using itunes 10 / iphone 4S / ios 5.0.1
thanks!

As far as I know that's not possible when using iTunes. See this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15172235#15172235 and this one https://discussions.apple.com/message/15254581#15254581

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone. I have checked all the settings and all seems correct. It simply won't pull in all of the contacts. Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

How do I remove photos synced from computer

How do I remove photo albums synced from computer without losing them on the computer

If you un-check them in iTunes on the computer then sync, they should be removed from the phone but remain on the computer.
Why would you completely delete the folders on the computer instead of just moving them?

Can not delete photos or albums sync from computer to iphone 4s

You delete them the same way you put them there, the sync process.
Deselect the folder in itunes and sync.

I updated my iPhone 4S and now my iTunes (10.6.1) won't read it. It said to update, but 10.7 won't work on my computer because it's a Mac 10.8. I can't find the iTunes 10.6.3 anywhere. What can I do to be able to sync my computer and phone?

iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

How do I do a one way sync from contacts in computer (Outlook), to contacts on I pad (also for I-phone)? Contacts on I-Pad are incorrect and I do not want to add them back to my computer?
Alternatively, is there any way to delete contact groups all at once instead of one contact at a time?
Thank you in advance...

How do I remove photos from iPhone that were synced from computer

How do I remove photos from iPhone that were synced from computer

You un-sync them by plugging the phone into the computer and changing the options for photo syncing in iTunes.

HT6541 How do I get my pictures back from the update? They were photos synced from my previous phone and now they are gone. Please help!

i Just got an iPhone and I did not have icloud or iTunes yet. My photos from my previous phone were synced to my new phone and after the update they all disappeared. Please help me recover my pictures

If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup). If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost. Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your photos are lost too.
If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

How to delete photos from iPhone 4 which have synced from computer

I believe this dilemma has been documented many times before and I have in fact had to resort to resetting my iphone to factory settings to remove the thousands of photos which were synced from my computer in the past. Today however, after many attempts, I have managed to remove all those photos, so I wanted to write this down for anyone else who finds themselves in my predicament. On my computer, I went to Windows Explorer and created a new folder and dragged it to "pictures" where there was a single photo displayed. I dragged this single photo into my new folder. I then went to iTunes and selected my iPhone and clicked on the 'photo' tab. Here I ticked the sync photos from box, selected my new folder and selected "selected folders". A new screen appears for folders and I ticked the new folder box and then the sync button on the bottom right of the screen. Voila, after many tries they have gone and I am left with my iPhone photos which I am able to delete normally if I wish. I appreciate people will have different computer operating systems etc so instructions may be different for them but I hope this technologically challenged individual may have helped one or two of you. I remain at a loss as to why Apple can't find a quick fix ie a trash can, where we can delete these photos. Cheers

If your OS detail provided is accurate, you won't be using or syncing this iPhone with your Mac.
On this iPhone, you can go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings. This will get rid of all your friend's content and settings making this iPhone truly yours.
