    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
    See if that fixes your problem.

  • What is the iPhone "Other" capacity seen in iTunes?

    What is the iPhone “Other” capacity seen in iTunes?

    Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  It should generally be about 1GB.  If it's significantly larger than this it contains something corrupt; restoring the phone should resolve this.

  • IPhone isn't recognized by iTunes; won't charge via USB

    I recently switched a friend to Mac/iPhone and things haven't been very smooth, unfortunately. His MacBook video card appears to be faulty (the screen appears to "breath") and now his iPhone has stopped connecting to the Mac. I'd say that Apple's hardware quality control has really tanked in recent years. I also bought a MacBook and am having video card problems too. Very disappointing for a life-long customer (25 years and counting!). Anyway, back to the iPhone...
    My friend's first problem with the iPhone involved the "device not compatible" warning. It just started to appear randomly, despite the fact that nothing was connected to the phone's dock connector. Sometimes it would appear every few minutes. Then he'd go a day without seeing it. Now it has stopped appearing altogether. I urged him to do a restore on the phone, so he connected it to his MacBook and...nothing. The iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes, nor will it charge with the USB cable. It will, however, charge with an iPod FireWire adapter.
    Needless to say, he's frustrated, not to mention very disappointed with the hardware quality. Two lemons. Not good.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with the iPhone??? Unfortunately our local Apple Store is closed until Wednesday for remodeling! Ugh.
    Thanks much!!!
    FYI, my friend's MacBook Pro is running 10.4.10 with all recent software updates and patches applied.

    Have you tried to reset the iphone, holding the sleep and home button together for 10 seconds?
    Also, a firewire cable only charges the iphone. You will need a usb cable to sync - the usb cable does not allow for charging I think.
    When opening the preference window in itunes, there should be a Sync icon, all the way to the right, when clicking on that Sync icon - I think it is the iphone icon - does the name of the iphone appear in the window?

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • My iphone isn't recognized by my windows

  • Can't sync iPhone 5 or 5S with iTunes, Windows 8

    Having no luck syncing either an iPhone 5 or 5S with iTunes. Connect a phone and iTunes hangs. Followed KnowledgeBase article HT1923 to completely remove iTunes and other components, Restarted machine then ran CCleaner to remove all traces from the registry, restarted again, downloaded and ran itunes64setup.exe.
    During the install got this message:
    DifXInst64.exe - Application Error
    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application.
    iTunes will start normally but when you connect either phone the "iPhone" tag will appear after a few minutes and that's it, nothing more. Can't access the phone through iTunes and can't access iTunes.
    When I use the Task Manager to kill iTunes it indicates iTunes (32 bit) is not responding. Why 32 and not 64?
    How can I resolve this?
    Windows 8 64 bit
    iTunes 11.3.1.2
    iPhone 5 & 5S, both 7.1.2

    Hey there bherrick,
    I have an article for you that describes your issue and will help you troubleshoot this a little further:

  • Why do the artists on Music (iPhone) differ from those on iTunes (Windows)?

    When I sync my iPhone with iTunes (Windows), the artist names are not being copied properly. For example, the artist which I label "Lambert, Adam" on my computer keeps showing up as "Adam Lambert" on my iPhone. I have changed ALL the sorting tags on iTunes (Windows) so the "artist," "artist: sort as," "album artist," "album artist: sort as," "composer," and "composer: sort as" are all showing "Lambert, Adam." But my iPhone is insisting on overriding that and using the sorting that one would find in the iTunes store. I have all sharing turned off and iCloud sync turned off. The problem is occurring with albums that I originally purchased on iTunes (Windows).

    Recent builds of iTunes can fetch details of your purchase history so you can download or stream the content to your device. For reasons unknown the store version of the metadata is sometimes displayed instead of any local edits that you may have made.
    To fix, go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data. If not the original values should revert as you play content, or you can try my script UpdateTagInfo for updating iTunes. In some cases you may need to remove the affected content from your device, then sync it back again.

  • HT1386 My iPhone isn't appearing on my iTunes when plugged in correctly

    When my iPhone 5s is plugged into my laptop, iTunes isn't recognising the device  however, the phone is new so everything is working in excellent condition and my iTunes software is up to date. Due to not being able to sync my iPhone,iCloud has suddenly gone wrong; half of my music has not downloaded to iCloud (when it was originally) . I don't know how this problem has occurred.
