HT1386 I cannot get my iphone to sync with itunes

I recently purchased a new iphone 5s, and I cannot get it to sync with my itunes. Last night I tried to sync and overnight it continued to stay on step 2, preparing to Sync and never went any further.

For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.

If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

What "everything" includes?
When you select a ringtone what happens? (Try to change from a ringtone to another).
Did you tried a reset? Hold down Power and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears. Then release and wait to reboot.
Check again.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder. Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure. In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
What exactly do you mean "not recognized"? The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone? The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced. You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

What tips have you tried so far? Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
When you respond, also indicate which country and carrier you're using. Also, is your phone brand new? can you make a phone call / access the internet while on cellular?

HT4528 I cannot get my iPhone to boot up the iOS7.

I cannot get my iPhone to boot up the iOS7. It is downloaded and my phone will take me to the start up screen, but after I enter my internet information it says it "server cannot be reached."

many folks have been having activation issues in the last few hours... your issue maybe related.
best advice i've heard is to wait a while... if you cant get past the start up screen after a while then running thru the iphone ts steps is what i'd do... http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/

I can't get my iphone to appear under devices in itunes and i have followed the directions and support provided by apple-any suggestions?

I can't get my iphone to appear under devices within itunes, my iphone appears as my ipod under devices therefore I am unable to sync my music etc onto my iphone. any suggestions???

iPhone 4S and Windows XP the first thing that jumps to mind is that the iPhone 4S needs a USB 2.0 connection to sync with iTunes. Check your computers user guide to see if the PC has a compatable USB 2.0 input.

After downloading the latest version of iTunes, I cannot get track names to appear when burning a cd from my playlists. Any ideas, please??????

What gives? I cannot get track names to appear on recently burned cd's. Just downloaded latest version of iTunes. I'm at a total loss. Have Googled- tried several things to no avail.

Go to the iTunes folder (it is in Music folder) and do this:
1. Back up your music
2. Delete "iTunes Library.itl". Then, open iTunes again and it should work
