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 my iPhone sync hang at 'backing up'?

Why does my iPhone sync hang at 'backing up'?

Did iTunes ever create a successful backup during a sync? If yes it should be listed there.
Alternativly you can make sure that the iphone backup folder is empty and try again to sync. The folder is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes iPhone 4s?

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes on my Sony Vaio to my iPhone 4s? My computer recognizes my phone but iTunes doesn't. Does it just need updating, if so then how do I do that? I haven't been able to sync tunes onto my iPhone 4s yet (I got it at christmas 2013)

Hello, EloiseGO100.
Since your device is not recognized in iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

If the issue persists, try all of the remaining steps.

Because you or someone replaced the back with an aftermarket piece maybe?
Why does it matter?

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 doesnt my ipod sync the new music?

why doesnt my ipod sync the new music when i connect it to Itunes

Hey myvalentine,
The resolution depends on what method you're using to sync your iTunes content to your iPod. If I were you, I'd start fresh and go through the following article, choosing which method works best for you and reading through the instructions:

Yeah it seems to be fine although I'm a bit reluctant to fire it up with the Mac just incase. Thanks for the response btw

HT1386 why wont my ipod sync anymore. is it because it the first touch version made?

why wont my ipod sync anymore? Is it because it is the first touch that ever came out?

No, first-generation iPod touches still sync just fine. Give us details about your computer, particularly the operating system and version of iTunes it's running, and the exact nature of the problem and someone can probably offer suggestions.
Regards.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

Device not detected in iTunes for Windows

Sync problem "Iphone synced with other Itunes library"

Hi folks, I’m new to the forum and would appreciate some help.
I recently re-formatted my hard drive on my PC and re-installed Itunes. I have only ever used my iphone on this PC and this Itunes account. Now when I connect my Iphone 4 to my PC it can be seen in the devices section at the left hand side and there I can view all its contents as normal. However if I try to change the settings in the summary section to “manually manage music and videos” and press APPLY it come up saying “the iphone is synced with another itunes library” and says if I continue then my iphone content will be erased. I can’t even drop and drag music into my device as I used to do before formatting.
I really don’t want to delete my phones content as I’ve got it just the way I like it and would be a real hassle to do this. I don’t understand why itunes is saying that my phone is synced with another itunes library.
I also have the most recent update on my phone and was wondering if there's any way to sort this out?
Thanks in advance
Craig.

All iTunes content presently on your phone will be erased. If you have the same content in your iTunes library, just sync it back. If you have app data you want to preserve, backup your phone first, then restore from that backup, followed by syncing your content back to your phone. You can manually create a current backup by right-clicking your phone in the left device pane & selecting "Backup". Follow this by right-clicking again & selecting "Restore from Backup". Select the backup you just made. If prompted to create another backup, decline. Disable auto-sync before you do any of the above: iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under the edit menu if using windows). Make sure you have one contact & one calendar entry in whatever supported applications you use on your computer: DO NOT SYNC to empty applications. Doing so will erase data from your phone.

HELP Iphone synced with another itunes HELP

Hi,
I get this message when i try to drag music from my itunes to my iphone. I had to rebuild my computer and so reinstall itunes, im guessing that is why im getting this message.
Is there a way to deautherise my iphone from the old itunes so i can put music on from this new itunes. i dont have the music that is currently on the phone on my pc so am reluctant to wipe it and then re sync.
If you can help it would be much appreciated,
many thanks,
sam

iTunes will let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod or iPhone to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

IPhone syncing issues after iTunes upgrade

Hi
I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 for Mac. During the install I got a kernel panic and had to restart. iTunes seems to be installed fine. When I connect my iPhone I get messages like "some content will not be copied to the iPhone as this computer is not authorized" or such like. So now several apps, videos and music has been wiped from the iPhone.
I tried authorizing the computer but I just get "This computer is already authorized".
there does not seem to be any particular link between the erased content. Some was purchased on the Mac and some on the iPhone, all from the iTunes store. Before I updated iTunes everything synced fine.
I can d/l the apps again direct to the iPhone but I can't find a way to get the missing music and videos back on the iPhone. Very annoying.
Would re-installing iTunes help?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
Try highlighting the one of the songs that will not sync in iTunes> cilck File> Get Info, check the account name and verifying you are authorizing the computer with correct account.
If the issue persists, try removing the SC Info folder as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
If you still see the issue after removing the SC Info folder, try reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
