HT1386 iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) cannot sync with itunes 11.1.5.

Both my iPhone and iTunes are updated, iOS 7.1 and iTunes 11.1.5. However, not only can they not wifi sync, when I plug in my iPhone, my iTunes doesn't respond. The iPhone tab did not pop up. When I go under "File" -> "Devices", nothing is there when my iPhone is plugged in. I want to sync my iPhone with iTunes, but I cannot do anything right now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that didn't change a thing. I restarted my laptop and my iPhone, but that didn't change a thing either. What can I do?

Windows 8?

HT1414 My iPhone4 (iOS 6) does not sync with iTunes. The message displayed suggests to return the iPhone to factory settings (which I cannot do). This happened after the iPhone was upgraded to iOS6 and performed one sync. Any ideas?

Why not?

When iPhone locked and restored through sync with iTunes do you lose everything on the phone

Hello Jamiem75
If you have to restore, yes everything will be erased from your iPhone. If you have a backup, you can put that backup after the restore.

IPod cannot sync with iTunes

Hello everyone. I have a small problem with my brothers iPod. It cannot sync with iTunes, but mine can sync perfectly. We have the same iPod (Nano, 2GB) but his is black, and mine is white. When the iPod is plugged in, iTunes freezes for a minute or two and then keeps going. When songs are being updates, it freezes, and sometimes says that the source cannot by written to or read from, Any help?

Oh and note that sometimes iTunes thinks its a White iPod but really is Black.
Help!
Note: i did read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267 and it did not help.

Start up your computer. Run iTunes. Connect iPod. Try to sync again.

First, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer (11.x). If you connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer (NOT to a USB hub) and it still doesn't appear in iTunes you need to troubleshoot iTunes.

IPhone 4S (iOS 6) no longer syncing with iTunes

Hi, this is my first post on Apple Support. I have several questions that I hope someone will be able to answer. Some regarding my iPhone, and some regarding my MBP.
For starters, my iPhone 4S is running on iOS 6, and no longer syncs with iTunes. I am no longer able to add new music, I can only manage my photos through iPhoto. I updated to iOS 6 while at the Apple store and was told that everything transferred to my iPhone would now go through iCloud, which I wasn't too happy about. I thought that my phone was no longer syncing because of iCloud, and therefore deleted my iCould account (which didn't have anything important on it anyway), but that did not fix the problem. Rather than syncing, iTunes asks me to restore my phone back to factory settings. I considered doing that, but I don't have a back up on my MBP, so that is out of the question. Also, before restoring, iTunes does not give me the option to back up, which I thought it would.
I would like to know how to make it so that my phone syncs with iTunes again so that I can manage my music etc. Does it have to do with iOS 6, iCloud, my MBP, or what? Is my iCloud still in the picture, even though I have deleted my account? If so, how do I disable it completely?
Second question. On a different, older MBP (not mine, and probably running on old software), I burned a Maxell DVD-R containing just under 4GB of music. However, when I insert the disc in my MBP (running on 10.6.8), the disc reads as blank. I tried restarting with the disc in, as well as ejecting and inserting it several times, but nothing is doing the trick. I'm not sure if it's the brand, my MBP's optical drive, or the fact that it was burned on a computer that is running on earlier software than mine. I've read around on the internet with no luck. I have received two pop-ups, one that says it's blank and another that says it is not readable by my computer. Why?
I've been a long time user of Apple, and rarely have any complaints, but my iPhone is really quite screwed up. The DVD-R issue is not a big deal, but I rely on my iPhone extremely (as most do), and not being able to manage it through iTunes is such a pain. I really hope someone can help!

Wow. I never got back to this, I apologize. Today I started searching around online again randomly for a solution on Apple support. The message I am getting is "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." I've tried many different things both on my computer and my iPhone such as reseting networks, changing the cellular data options, restarting my modem and restarting the wifi on my computer. None of it seems to work. Even if anything were to work temporarily until iTunes 11, I would love that, but I can't seem to find a temporary fix.

TS1286 what can I do if I cannot sync with ITUNES as USB is not recognised, iphone is not charging and apple icon displays and then dissapears - loads and then dissapears....?

I started having issues charging my Iphone and found that if it was switched off and on mains power it would charge.
It does not allow syncing with Itunes and or usb conncection.
I have a lot of photos on my phone that I have not been able to save (USB issue) and I am worried about retrieving these.
If my phone is connected to mains power - the apple icon comes on - then it goes off - then a few seconds later the icon comes up again and then off again?
Help please.
Thanks
EJ

You need to do a Force Restore:

IOS 7 won't sync with itunes latest version

After upgrading my iPhone 5 to IOS 7 it won't sync with iTunes on my windows 7 computer. I get a message that reads "it requires iTunes 11.1 or later" but the latest download is 11.0.5 for windows 7. How do I get 11.1?

I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

IPhone 5 Music ratings not Syncing with iTunes

Had this problem for a while now and cant find anything searching the forum...
I used to be able to rate (4 stars/5 stars etc) a new song that I recently added to my iPhone and then when I later synced with iTunes on my pc the same ratings I placed on my phone, would then also appear in iTunes on my pc. I dont know why it's not doing it anymore, its really annoying me!

UPDATE: My Ipad2 works and syncs fine!! . .only the new iphone 5s do not sync!!

IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

I purchased songs via my iPhone but lost it when syncing with itunes. How do I get them back?

Hi everyone,
I'm sure this happened to some of you before but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I purchased music direct via my iPhone but when I synced with iTunes some of my albums were missing. What is also weird is that the digital booklets have synced but I can't find the songs. How do I get them back?
I know that Apple has a policy to not downloading twice but I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm not all that confident either so would really appreciate the help.
Cheers.
