HT1386 my iphone 4s WILL NOT sync with my itunes at all i am very unhappy
I have had iphones since the 3gs and have always been able to fix my iphone but now I cant and I Just got a 5S and dont know if i even want to use it if this will continue to happen. Apple has slowly been making more and more frustrated with each update to itunes and iphone so if this issue of not connecting AND just deleteing my music is not fix I WILL GO TO DROID
Define "not connecting." What computer OS and iTunes version are you using?
Since you provided no specific information about what you did and what happened when you try to sync, there is no way for anyone to determine what you're doing wrong.
I WILL GO TO DROID

My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes. Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.
Hi,
Setting up syncing
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
Hope this helps -

You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another one the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the library of the second computer.
However, you can manage music among multiple computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum -
My Iphone 5 and Itunes no longer sync after I updated my IOS to 7.1 I have done multiple things to troubleshoot. Uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers, uninstalled Itunes, reinstalled Itunes, etc.. It will not show my Iphone in Itunes anymore and will not sync.
Hello bsae14,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

It IS a camera.
Have you tried opening iTunes? Does iTunes detect that the iPhone is connected? -
My iPhone 5 will not sync with my itunes
When i plug my iphone 5 into my computer it does not sync my music playlists that i select, even after i click apply or sync.
FIXED IT!!!..
After a little play around with itunes trying to get it to work... I de-authorised my computer and then re-authorised it and thats done the trick... -
my i 5 phone shows that i need to plug into itunes but when i do it says i need to remove my phone and rest it but how do i do that?
This is a bad situation. Your iPhone is in a state which cannot be backed up, and the Restore will return iPhone to factory specs erasing it. You need to Restore your iPhone to get it working again. If you were experiencing problems before, maybe your iPhone is damaged. If still faulty, and you have Warranty or AppleCare take iPhone to Apple for evaluation. If no coverage and still faulty it may be time for new phone.

FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79
I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
• Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
• iTunes 10
• iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
Step 1: Go to Control Panel
1. Open Control Panel
2. Click Hardware & Sound
3. Click Power Options
4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
5. Click Change advanced power settings
6. Expand USB Settings
7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
10. Click OK
Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
3. Click Properties
4. Click Device Manager
5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
7. Click Properties
8. Click Power Management
9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
10. Click OK
11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
12. Click Properties
13. Click Power Management
14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
15. Click OK
16. Restart your computer
After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
Good luck.If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access -
Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit
My iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit. My computer recognizes the iphone but Itunes does not. Any suggestions?
First it told me to uninstall itunes and install a windows 64 bit version which I did, the phone still won't sync
At the same time the itunes won't access the store
I've never accessed the store before or synced the phone
I live in a country without apple stores and geniuses so this is really the only way someone can help me -
my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?
You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items. -

My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL
My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL.
Define "sync with". Does it establish a bluetooth connection for handsfree use? Are you having a problem with contacts? The iPhone supports PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol) for accessing contacts. PBAP will pull your contact list automatically at connection time. If your system wants you to transfer your contacts, it's probably using rSAP (Rrmote SIM Access Protocol). The iPhone does not support rSAP. Most modern smartphones don't base on my understanding, but I'm not an expert on Android so I won't swear to that.
You may be able to get your system updated by the dealer.
