HT1386 I am unable to sync my phone to my computer. Songs purchased on my phone won't transfer to my computer.

I am unable to sync my iphone to my computer. Music purchased on iphone will not transfer to my computer. I've gone through the sync process but nothing happens.

You don't need additional iCloud storage to sync photos.
You need to sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on both devices and enable Photo Stream.
Settings > iCloud > Apple ID - sign in then enable Photo Stream.
Photo Stream holds 30 days of photos on the server so anything on either device older than that won't sync. Additionally, you can only hold 1000 Photo Stream photos on your iOS device (the oldest will be replaced with the newest). To preserve these photos, they need to be saved to your Camera Roll and transfered to your computer.

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

I have been unable to sync my phone with itunes - how can I fix this?

When I link into itunes, I am told that my phone is not registered. I have had my phone for less than 6 months. It worked through the itunes up until May and then I was unable to get it to connect to sync with itunes. I am able to buy products but not share with my other devices. How do I fix this?

The actual error message reads : This Iphone can non be used because the Apple mobile device sevice is not started.

I'm unable to sync my phone to my iTunes library

I went to plug my phone into iTunes to sync new stuff to my library, and it's like iTunes or my computer completely ignored my phone, or as if it wasn't there. My phone charges when plugged into the computer, but I believe something may be wrong with iTunes, because it doesn't sense that my phone is plugged in, and I have my settings where my phone should automatically sync with iTunes the moment it's plugged into my computer.

Hi hannijin,
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have. For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

HT1386 I am unable to restore my phone

Unable to sync my phone

I hope someone can help me.
I did the os5 update and my phone has not been the same since. All of my backups were wiped clean and my music was wiped. I have done many restores and they don't help. I restored it to factory settings so now I don't have my apps either, I knew this would happen but I was just going to reinstall them.
Now Itunes wont allow me to sync any files to my phone. The sync tab is just gray and my only option is to use a "new" revert tab which just keeps my phone at the factory settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I really dont want to jailbreak my phone but it's almost as if Apple is forcing me to so that I can put my apps and music back on my phone.
Thanks for your help.

I install PC Suite and all Sync issue works fine.
Maybe OVI suite not OK?

HT1386 If I've already synced my phone to one computer, if I sync it to another will it erase all the data on my phone (apps, music, etc)

My original computer died, and I don't have a phyical back up of my data. If I try to sync the device to a new computer will I lose everything currently on my phone? If so, is there a way around this?
