HT1414 Why doesn't my iphone sync automaticly?

Both my PC's have my music library on them but when I update my iphone Apps my phone never sync's. I go thru this every time I update my apps, but you'd think they would recognize my iphone. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure I understand what you mean, but assuming you are syncing with iTunes via usb and you want iTunes to automatically sync you phone when you connect it, go to iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab make sure you have not check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Automatic syncing has nothing to do with updating apps; it's initiated by connecting your phone to your computer and opening iTunes.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone calendar automatically sync with my Macs?

    Aren't all my Apple devices supposed to be able to do this? I don't want to have to plug in the cable every ngiht to sync my iPhone, MacBook Air and Mac desktop. I assumed it had, and missed an appointment.
    Thanks.

    You may well have updated the OS actually running on your MacBook Air, but that would not update your profile on the Apple Support Communities (ASC). To determine the OS level actually running, choose About This Mac from the apple-icon menu. To update your ASC profile (if necessary), choose "Your Stuff" near the upper right corner of this page, then choose "Profile" to pull up the profile page. Look under "My Products" for your MacBook Air, then use "Edit" to the right of that entry.
    We're in the Mavericks forum, so I'll assume you are running Mavericks (OS X 10.9.x). It's a free upgrade from Snow Leopard or above, if your MacBook Air is new enough and has enough hardware to run it. I'm also assuming that you want to use Apple's iCloud sync function.
    Apple supplies the wherewithall for automatic syncing on current systems or on older systems running current software, but you have to have configured it appropriately.
    Here's how you do that check that ssls6 recommended:
    On the MacBook Air, open System Preferences and go to the "Internet Accounts" pane. On the left side should be a list of one or more accounts. You may see, for example, an iCloud account (icon of a cloud), a Google account (icon of a "g"), and/or other types of accounts listed (various icons). Next to each icon, you should see two lines of script, one with the name of the account (perhaps "My iCloud" or "JKF from NYC") and one with the type(s) of information stored there (for example, "Mail, Contacts, and 9 more...").
    Do you have an iCloud account there? I'm assuming you do. If not, post back that you don't have one. Somebody here will have to coach you through creating one and getting your calendars moved there, or we can discuss using your Google account or whatever you do have.
    Click on the entry in the list corresponding to your iCloud account. (This is the one you were probably thinking about when you asked "Aren't all my Apple devices supposed to be able to do this?"). The right side of the window should now show a list of types of information you are storing in iCloud. We are hoping that the "Calendars" line is checked, meaning that you have enabled calendar storage in iCloud (possibly among others).
    While you have the iCloud account selected, note the exact name of the iCloud account active (perhaps JFKfromNYC @ icloud.com).
    Now go to the Calendar application on your MacBook Air. If you do not see a left sidebar with a list of calendars (maybe Personal, Home, Work, and others), clicking the "Calendars button should make it appear.
    Click on some event of interest in the main part of the Calendar window. (You might want to pick that appointment you missed, if the MacBook Air is where you created it.) The name of the calendar that contains it should be highlighted in the left sidebar, nested under the account that stores the calendar. (For example, "Home" nested under "My iCloud" may be highlighted. Note that there may also be a "Home" calendar under other accounts; they are different.) That tells you where this event is stored.
    Now you need to go to the Mac desktop and go through the same exercise. You want the desktop to agree with the MacBook Air for those calendars and entries you care to have synced. Make sure the desktop is using the exact same iCloud account identifier.
    Now you want to follow a similar process on your iPhone, but some of the terminology is different. Here I'm assuming you are running a recent version of iOS (7 through 7.1.1).
    Start in the Settings app. Go to the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" pane. Again, you want to see your iCloud account listed; click it. It should be enabled for storing calendars, and it should also be using the exact same iCloud account identifier.
    Now switch to the Calendar app and select an event. (Again, you might want to use the appointment you missed, if it was created on the iPhone or appears there.) It should show the name of the calendar under which the event was created. To see where that calendar is stored, click on the name of the calendar to get a list of storage locations (grey bars) and calendars, one of which should be checked. Again, you want to see the event in a calendar that is stored in iCloud. [Remember, I'm assuming you want to sync through iCloud.] Click "Back" to return to the event.
    If you see the same event in the same calendar stored on the same cloud service on all three devices, then the event should be syncing among them. Otherwise, let us know where in this procedure what you observed failed to match what I outlined.

    What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
    Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

    There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
    AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
    The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
    +If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+

  • Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

    Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

    Why doesn't the iPhone 5 have the call bar feature like the 4S does?

    From the Swype website:
    Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
    Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

  • Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to 100%?

    Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to a full 100% when charing over night?

    OK sort of an old thread now but this apparently is a common issue. Restore wont help. I have researched it for the past week (did several months ago too and gave up) but I now have somewhat of a solution to this phenomena. For whatever reason mine seems to stay at 100% most of the night than around 7:00am it would drop to 97% or so within a few minutes. This sorta stopped when iOS 5.1.1 came out. Now it stays at 100% until I unplug it then it drops. What I was doing was each morning when wake up, I unplug then plug back in while I was getting ready for the day and it would go back to 100%. So for the fix. What I have discovered over the past week worked 100% of the time. When go to bed I turn off the phone with the slider. Then plug in charger and let the phone come alive again by itself. But I do not log it in. Just let it sit at the lock screen. Now every morning its at 100% and stays that way for more than an hour (If not used). So it is being fully charged and remaining that way. iPhone will quick charge to 100% by meter but in reality it still needs longer to fully charge. Anyway this process has solved the waking up to less than 100% while still being connected to the charger.

  • Why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    Because it *****, has security holes in it and your phone battery life wouldn't be as good as it's today. For starters.....
    Flash is heading in the direction of a dying breed. HTML5 will take it over eventually, once the world buttheads finally come to agree on its final standards.

    Why doesn't my iPhone connect to tv? Keeps saying "this accessory is not supported by this iphone"

    I assume you are running ios 8.x.  It's a bug.
    Wait for a fix from apple.   ... OR ... You could buy a new Apple brand connector. The latest connectors will work, even the older apple brand connectors do not work.  OR try re-booting your ipad. OR wait until the video starts then attach the connector.

  • IPhone syncs automatically after restore despite 'prevent automatic sync' in iTunes preferences

    iPhone 4 just restored to deal with memory issue, and after restore, it starts to sync automatically when I connect it to my laptop (OS X 10.9.5, iTunes 11.4) despite checking 'Prevent iDevices from syncing automatically' in iTunes preferences.
    iTunes summary screen for the phone, under options, shows a grayed-out 'Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected' phrase, with no box to deselected to fix it.
    Any idea what is going on?

    This one was odd:  it stopped after the first sync was finally completed--had to interrupt several times to use the phone away from the computer before all the music and photos were fully reloaded.  Now it waits appropriately for next sync.  This is probably why no one else had seen this or replied.

  • Why won't my iPhone sync my music from iTunes?

    My iPhone 5 will not sync with my iTunes. It claims to do so, but when I check my phone it's all basically the same prior to the sync. The biggest issue I have right now is my music, I have to delete everything manually from my phone. I'm not sure if it's iCloud or anything but it's becoming a bother. I'm OCD and that was one of the main reason why I chose an iPhone- it's clean and simple. I know for a fact that the issue is not my iTunes, but my iPhone. I've tried restarting and everything, I'm just at a dead end here. SOS.

    I have no restrictions on my phone. The AppleID is the same for all of my devices. Yes, iTunes is set up for manual sync.
    I figured out the problem though and fixed it. Now, thankfully, everything is fine. I first did an encrypited backup for my phone on iTunes which I saved on my Mac. I then restored my iPhone and went through the process of restoring...I also went through each and every single song to make sure it downloaded properly. After all of that my content and music are perfectly fine.

  • Why won't my iphone sync with Outlook.  It will not even give me the option to click on Sync Calendar

    My Iphone calendar used to sync automatically with Outlook on my PC.  Now, for some reason, it will not sync and when I try to click on Sync Calendar, it will not let me do it.  Nothing happens.   Help!

    Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.
