HT1386 I am trying to sync my iPhone to iTunes
iTunes has been telling me "Waiting for items to copy" now for about 12 hours. What is preventing the process from completing?
I am connected directly via the USB cable that came with my iPhone. I'll try changing my Firewall settings and see if that solves the problem.
UPDATE: I looked at both my Windows and Anti-Virus Firewalls and both have exceptions in place which should allow iTunes to function properly. Also, it occurs to me that I might mention that when I synched my iPod Touch last night I did not experience this problem. It is only occuring with my iPhone 4.

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??
Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first. -
I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?
You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?
I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes
My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes using a new user account on my PC. Nothing is syncing, but iTunes keeps telling me it has synced. My ulitmate goal is to backup contacts, etc. before updating the phone's software.
You need to use the same Apple ID you used when you synced your contacts intitially.
That kind of data cannot be transferred to another account nor can accounts be merged. -

Hi lindaasw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed? I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything. If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7

iTunes 11: Frequently used features

Please can anyone help? I am trying to sync my iphone music with itunes, but am finding that as soon as the sync is complete the data bar shrinks back from almost full (my entire music library) to just 100 songs, which happen to be the contents of one playlist I have. i cannot seem to change the music content on my phone no matter what? PS when I hit sync the capacity bar fills up, but when I apply, it drops back to just those songs I already mentioned :- (
thank you randers4, unfortunately these restrictions aren't to blame. Now I realise the problem - I tried to play some of the music and found out that the source data wasn't attached. The computer was rebuilt and backed up - and it seems perhaps hasn't all been copied back. I am currently attempting to copy accross some itunes files from my backup drive. Bit confused, too many itunes files of different types but fingers crossed getting closer to the solution......?

I can't see the photo tab when trying to sync my iphone from itunes
For some reason, all the tabs are not showing on itunes when trying to sync my iphone. The 'photos' tab in particular is missing. It shows I can scroll to the right to possibly see the rest of the tabs, but when I scroll across to the right, it moves the whole page across, but nothing from itunes moves across with the page. Sorry, it's hard to explain. I hope you can help.
Sorry, it's probably really easy to do, but I'm not sure how to change it. I have a Mac book. Can you help? It's strange that it seems to be the only tab missing, and only when I connect my iphone to sync, it doesn't happen when I sync my ipod. It's weird, and it never used to disappear. I need the photo tab back
Sorry, and thanks to anyone that can help -
When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me a warning that I don't have enough memory and yet the status bar at the bottom says that I do and I know that I have enough memory. What's the problem? It happens with the ipods and ipad as well!!!
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes. In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps. Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?
So, what i need to is
1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
Is it correct?
After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
Or need to do manually?
Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys -
So, trying to sync my phone - hours now of "Step 5 - waiting for items to copy"
What can I do?"would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
No.
"The computer it is synced to is a dell"
So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer. You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.

While trying to sync my iPhone to iTunes, I'm stuck at Step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync"
While trying to sync iPhone to iTunes, iTunes is stuck on step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync". What should I do?
Give it a lot of time. If it just doesn't move on, then click the small disconnect icon in the left panel of itunes and reconnect and try again.
