HT1386 My new iPhone 5S will no longer sync to my iTunes library on my computer.

When I first bought my iPhone 5S a couple monhts ago, my music libraray came over just fine from my old Iphone. And I was able to sync to my computer iTunes libraray for updates (new songs and playlists, etc,) a couple times. But now, sync don't work on the new phone. I can still sync to my older iPad and iPhone 3 S just fine, but not t my new iPhone 5S. New songs bought on iTunes and imported on CD's do not (for the most part) show up on the iphone after syncing. Also, new l playlists and changes to current lists will not update (though a small minority of changes do appear). To repeat, I can still sync everything just fine from my computer to my old IPhoone 3S and to my ancient iPad, buit not to the new phone. I have tried every imaginable combination of WiFi and iCloud settingson or off, and syncing the entire library or just specific playlists and such. I am at a loss.

Please accept my apology if I sounded elementary to you. One never knows what level of expertise he is posting to. My thought based on the message I'm focusing on here is that IF in fact you are able to sync just fine with ancient devices but not your new device I would be thinking strongly about updates to either itunes or to your OS.
Good luck.

  • Help! iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes library

    My iPhone thinks my iTunes library is not the one it is used to syncing to anymore for some reason, and whenever I try to sync music or applications, I get: "Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with another iTunes library?" I don't want to erase everything on my phone, since there is a lot of data there.
    This seems to have happened because of the following sequence of events:
    1) My external hard drive was disconnected
    2) iTunes couldn't find my music, even after I reconnected said hard drive
    3) I followed this instruction to recreate my iTunes library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    4) This partially worked but it couldn't find all my music
    5) I added my Music folder and reimported
    Now the applications section is blank (no applications) and I can't seem to sync my music without in threatening to erase everything. Is there some recourse for this without erasing everything?

    The issue was, for future readers of this post that I had moved my database file as well as the XML file. The database file must contain all the applications as well as the information as to whose iphone it is, so I put that back, and everything seems to be working now as planned. Thought I would put this out there for people with this issue in the future.

  • My iPhone 4 will no longer sync with my itunes on my MacBookPro

    I recently updated to iSO5 and now my iPhone 4 won't automatically update with my itunes when I connect it to my MacBook Pro. Any idea what might be going on? I've had no problems doing an automatic sync before. Thanks so much!

  • HT4623 since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync?

    since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?

    Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
    If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried.

  • IPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I download iOS 8.1.2

    iPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I downloaded iOS 8.1.2 I get the message that it "failed to sync because the sync failed to start." Doesn't work with cable or over WiFi. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

    Before connecting your device to iTunes to sync, double-click the Home button, and close all open apps by sliding up on the thumbnails until all open apps are closed. Then try the sync again.

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?

  • HT1386 My new iPhone 6 will not sync via iTunes..

    http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
    There is no errors... it simply will not update my new iPhone 6.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Try syncing using the manual method

  • ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

    iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

    If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
    Go to
    Settings
    Main, contacts etc.
    scroll down to "Contacts"
    under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
    You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
    This solution worked for me!

  • HT1296 Events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer sync to my Outlook 2010 calendar - what's up?

    Some change in iOS I suppose makes it so events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer populate my Outlook 2010 calendar when I sync the devices through iTunes.  It used to be that events entered in each place would populate the other locationg when synced.  No longer!
    There are two calendars in iPhone now and I don't know why. 
    Can anyone help me find out what's going on?

    Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

    Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
    It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
    Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
    Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
    Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

  • Iphone 3G will no longer sync with MacPro

    my iphone 3G will now not sync. I get this: The iPhone "TM's iphone" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    Has anyone seen this? Is the "disk" the computer (MacPro 10.6.8 running latest itunes) or the iphone 3G 4.2.1 o.s.?
    Thanks.

    Hey Allan,
    The funny thing is that I don't get that option on my mac in prefs.
    I get it on my windows itunes (which is where I set-up my account and sync most things)
    I use my mac purely to sync with ical for a back-up for my calander and address book.
    Had no problem before a day or so ago?
    thanks!

  • IPod will no longer sync podcasts from iTunes store

    Both our iPod and iPod Nano will no longer sync podcasts. We have downloaded new music, which will sync, but not the new podcasts from the iTunes store. iTunes indicates that it is syncing (which takes about 1 second) but the podcasts are not synced.
    We have deleted all the existing podcasts and downloaded a single new one, with no change in the problem. We have tried both iPods and the result is the same.
    We are running ESET NOD32 version 3.0 for Anti-Virus. We have checked with ESET and performed the exceptions that are known to cause problems with iTunes, and there has been no change, except that iTunes no longer freezes, which it previously did.
    Hopefully someone out there can help us.

    easiest way i have found to resolve the issue is go into itunes while phone is plugged in. you will have a list of tabs across, summery, info, ringtones, music. select music and where it displays sync music unselect that and hit apply in the bottom right (dont worry your music should be saved on the computer) once the sync is complete re check the music sync option. ive noticed this to work 95% of the time......hope this helps
