HT1386 why doesnt my iphone 4s wanna sync to my laptop

iconnect my iphone to the usb and on itunes it says it doing the steps but when its done i check my devices and i dont have any devices

Try restoring your phone in iTunes to iOS 8.1.1. Make sure you make a backup either using iCloud or iTunes, or you'll lose everything and have to start clean. You should get an option to restore from backup during the setup process.

  • Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs.

    Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs. All the artwork is correct in the itunes 11 library, but when sync'd the iphone arbittary chooses what it wants

    My guess is you are using iTunes Match.
    iTunes Match is a great feature, but I suggest keeping it on only on your computer.  Turn iTunes Match off on your iPhone at Settings > Music > iTunes Match.  Then sync your iPhone and you should get all the artwork.  You may have to sync two or three times to get it all after turning off iTunes Match.

    Because you or someone replaced the back with an aftermarket piece maybe?

  • TS4062 why doesnt my iphone want to connect to itunes?

    why doesnt my iphone 4 want to connect to itunes?

    I must say I'm most frustrated by apple at the moment! I've tried everything that's been suggested by your so called APPLE Specialists/Bots regardless of my frustrations this is my problem both my itunes on my desktop and laptop or up to date and my ios is updated to on my iphone 5 so this rules out old software issues, my iphone 5 connects to the desktop but not my laptop so now i must leave the comfort of my living room to move all my files from my laptop to my desktop in order to have the files i want onto my iphone and yet this goes against apple policy as i remember apple is supposed to have this slogan that states simplicity for ios 7 yet im seeing nothing simple about been online for 3 hours trying to get a solution to my problem yet all that can be said it go check out iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    no support to the actual problem
    im starting to see why so many people move to android
    i wonder what kind of feedback i will receive from this thread or how long it will stay live for or if it will even go live.
    from a really irritated apple consumer.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

    If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
    When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? 

  • Help! My iphone won't sync on my laptop, even though the itunes stores says it is authorised. We have 4/5 computers authorised at home so it should work.  I'm a simple soul so a simple explanation would be lovely thanks!

  • Why will my Iphone 5 not sync with my mac 10.6.8

    Not sure why my IPhone 5 will not be recognized when I plug in to my computer via the smart cord, I've upgraded the mac to snow leopard 10.6.8 and upgraded I-tunes to 11.0.5. I've tried to wireless sync aswell, but the mac will not recognize the I-phone even pluged in to the back of the mac's port. I use this same cord to charge the phone.
    I couldn't download 10.7.4 or 10.7.0 from Apple is this only avilable in the stores?
    any idea's?

    You have to buy Mountain Lion 10.8.x, Lion (10.7.x) isn't broadly available. However before even considering upgrading find out why your iPhone will not sync. When you connect it to your iMac is it seen in iTunes?

  • HT1386 why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again?

    After iOS6 update, why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again? It used to sync with iTunes just the new one I marked. Now it seems to syncs the whole set of movies I have. Why?

    When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
    The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
    The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it.  then reinstall all the apps and music and videos.  You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!

  • Why doesnt the sound play when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv play?

    why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided.  And none were given here.  It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

  • Why doesnt my iphone 4 show up on itunes when i connect it to the computer?

    when i connect my phone to my laptop it shows up that is found a discoverable device but doesnt show up in my itunes and its starting to bug me... i just want to update my playlist... why does it not work? what do i need to do?

    Hello nataligrinman,
    It sounds like you are unable to turn on your iPhone, and when you plug it into the computer you see the Apple symbol appear then disappear quickly. I would start by resetting your iPhone with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If that does not correct the issue, I would next put the device into recover mode, and restore it with iTunes:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
