  • HT1296 Unable to Sync Contacts with Computer

    I am having problems with my attempts to upload the Contacts in my iPhone, to my PC/laptop.  I'm following a guide which contains screen grabs, but my screen doesn't look like what is shown and so I cannot proceed as I wish to.
    I have no option to select 'Sync Contacts With' as the screen I am taken to under the Options Menu has a heading that says Sync Contacts with a box underneath that says:
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from Cloud
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone
    There are no boxes to check, whatsoever.
    Can anyone help with this, please?
    Thanks 

    You can only sync contacts with one source. You are currently synching with iCloud, so if you want to sync with your computer you will have to turn off iCloud sync.

  • HT1386 my i touch will not synci with my computer getting error message

    My i touch will not synci with my computer, keep getting erro message can you help?

    Restore.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    I have the same problem.
    After upgrading to latest iTunes I got an error saying "Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". I fixed this by going into programs, found iTunes, right click and click repair (as detailed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2775935&tstart=0 )
    So now I have same problem, iTunes can not sync calendars to the iphone.
    I only ever have problems like this after an upgrade. Very frustrating and time-wasting Apple!

    You still need to contact the manufacturer.  You need to determine from them if they have drivers that support the OS that is currently installed on your comp or read the following KB Articles:

  • Cant install Itunes on my work computer, get error message Apple Application support not found, so i uninstall and reinstall again and its the same message

    cant install Itunes on my work computer, get error message: "Apple Application support not found, so i uninstall and reinstall again and its the same message

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • IPhone won't sync with computer, get error (-50) message. Also getting requests to sync when I open iTunes. I have 2 iTunes id's apparently. Can I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 4S,7.1.1,  and my MacBook Pro is still running 10.6.8, waiting to update to Mavericks as soon as I have some down time. My phone won't sync with my computer. I am getting an error message (-50). ITunes is also asking me if I want to sync my Podcasts, etc. with my computer when I first open it. I am assuming part of the issue is that I have 2 Apple ID's. One for my computer (this one), and another for my phone and iPad. Can I merge these identities? It this my problem or is there an incompatability between 10.6.8 and the new 7.1.1 OS on my phone?

    Hey Janice Lucoff,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

  • HT1386 unable to sync my ipad2   receive an error message 1140 (unknown error)  HELP..don't want to have to go to the apple store to be able to sync my ipad to my desktop !!

    For some unknown reason, I am unable to sync my ipad2 with my desktop.  I receive a message saying it cannot sync due to an unknown error 1140.
    Hate to have to run to the apple store to get this resolved...hope someone here knows the answer !!  I need to sync !!
    Thank You.

    Experienced User Terrell Smith recently posted on this Error Code:
    Terrell Smith:
    "Today I was in an Apple Store, and four Apple Geniuses could not solve this problem. It seems to have something with large iPhoto Libraries, because when I started iPhoto up with a small library (1,100 photos), the problem did not occur. In iTunes, under the Photo's option "Sync Photos," if the iPhoto library is large (38,000 photos), the option to select the radio button "Selected albums, Events, and Faces" is grayed out, and you cannot select it.
    My guess is that since the large iPhoto library will not fit on your iOS device, iTunes throws the 1140 error.
    As others have noted, if you uncheck "Sync Photos" in iTunes, the rest of things will sync instead of throwing the 1140 error message.
    But you don't have synced photos then.
    The Apple Store told me they have no solution for this error. We should file iPhoto Feedback, and that this issue has been escalated to Apple Engineering."

    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.
