When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync. I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless. I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary. I want everything easy to organize and access. It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution. Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution. I have not found answers yet.

I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen. It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

Is the only way to sync with itunes is through wif-fi?

Is the only way to sync your phone with itunes, through wi-fi? I get that message when hitting itunes button on the phone. Thx peace

I think you're hitting the iTunes button on your phone expecting it to connect to iTunes on your computer. That's not what its for. The iTunes button on the phone launches the mobile version of the iTunes Music Store, so you can purchase and download music over a wifi connection. Think of it as the AppStore, but with music (and needs to be wifi)
To sync your phone with iTunes you need to use the USB cable that was supplied with the phone, as the poster above has said.

How do I get all the content on my IPod to sync with itunes after I reinstalled itunes after computer crashed, folders and songs no longer match?

My computer crashed back in Feb or March of this year and I just recently reinstalled itunes on it. Once reinstalled itunes updated software. Once this was all done I noticed that alot of songs on my IPod were no longer in itunes. Also, the folders in itunes no longer matched what are on my IPod. itunes says the computer is active for itunes and many songs on my IPod are on itunes but many are missing. How do I get itunes to just sync and match what is on my IPod to include all songs and folders. Many of the missing songs on my IPod and not in itunes are ones I purchased from itunes so they should have them. I am getting very discouraged with itunes. I tried to do a support call and pay the fee to have them call to address but I am stationed oversees and they would not accept my overseas number as valid.
Any help is greatly appreciated. As stated, I just want the music now on itunes to match with my IPod to include folders. Seems music got lost. Any suggestions how to back up the music so if this happens again I do not have this issue. I figured itunes would have my music or at a min just sync up what is on my IPod.
Thanks gunner

Probably a bit late to help in this thread, but the question is asked & answered frequently.
*Recover media from iPod*
See this post from Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217190#7217190
Some of the tools linked to will only work if the iPod has a valid library. Others can scan the drive independently and some may even be able to rebuild a damaged library. The manual method towards the end should be able to recover your media regardless of the state of the library.

Is there a connection b/t the 3.0 launch and slow syncing with iTunes??

Not sure if since the launch of 3.0 that there is a relation between slow syncs and traffic on Apple's servers? I know that I'm syncing with my own computer when I do a manual sync, but just curious.
Otherwise, is anyone else having problems with painfully slow syncs after 3.0 has been installed?

I am experiencing this as well, and I am currently in the process of un-synchronizing my apps then adding them back in a few at a time. However, I also think my slower-than-usual sync might be as a result of the new option in iTunes to, "Encrypt iPhone Backup," which I selected right after I updated the software.
The reason I think it's the backup encryption is because after I updated to 3.0, the phone rebooted, etc., I was perusing the new options in iTunes, and I saw the option to encrypt. I checked the box, created a password at the prompt, and it started backing up the iPhone again.
This time, it was sloooooow! It barely showed a hint of shading in the status bar after a minute, and I decided to cancel the sync. But I never unchecked the "Encrypt iPhone Backup" option (I forgot to). So perhaps if any of you have that option selected, it could also be the culprit or at least part of the problem.
Though I'm no fan of Windoze, take heart, PC users: I'm on a MacBook Pro, and this is happening to me, too.

Iphone 4 wont connect/sync with itunes? Try this:)

My problem was much the same as others had and still have on this forum. With tips and tricks"uninnstall this and that, restart and uppgrade and downgrade!"
And by random in between all the replies, someone said: Dont bother with recovery mode,downgrade or uninnstalls. Check if you have megakey and/or megaupload on your pc. If so, just uninnstall them with controlpanel, reboot your pc, and in windows, connect the USB to your iphone4 and start iTunes! VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works like a charm.
Thanks to the one who posted it to start with. Sorry for not catching your name, but i had almost given up. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was trying to update my ipod touch but the update failed now it wont sync with itunes and its stuck on the Apple logo with a empty loading bar under it can anyone please help i dont know what to do

Someone please help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 4S not syncing with iTunes 10.7 Asking to restore

I have had my iPhone 4S for about two years, and for a long while now it has been unable to sync with iTunes. My iPhone has the latest iOS, btw, and my iTunes is also up to date.
When I plug my phone into my MacBook Pro, iTunes says that it does not recognize the device and would like me to restore it back to factory settings.
I would like to just restore it, but I do not have any backups for it on my computer. I would like to back it up first, but nowhere in iTunes does it give me the option to back it up at all. iTunes only shows the "summary" tab and does not let me see other lists (music, photos, tv shows, videos, etc). My iPhone, however, syncs fine with iPhoto and uploads my photos/videos with no problem.
Recently, the apps on my phone have been crashing. Aside from contacts, messages, and 70 photos as well as 22 videos, I do not have any other data on it. I do not have any music, and the only apps I have are Instagram and Snapchat aside from the apps that come with the phone. Under usage, it says that I have 14GB capacity and only 2.3GB available. I'm not really sure why 11GB of space is occupied because I don't have very much on my phone. But anyway, because my apps keep crashing, I wanted to factory restore my phone and just add back my messages, contacts, and my photos/videos. However, iTunes will not allow me to back up my phone.
I have tried using external apps for backing up (ex: iExplorer), and apps like iExplorer allow you to save files from your phone perfectly fine, but do not allow you to put them back onto your phone. It is just a way of externally saving your stuff onto your computer. (If anyone knows of an app that I can use to actually back up my phone, I would appreciate it! Assuming that iTunes does not come through...)
I was told a while back (when iOS 6 was released) that with iOS 6, my phone would no longer sync with iTunes because it would now be done through iCloud, but the 5GB of space on my iCloud is not enough to back up what is on my phone, so I have avoided using iCloud for a long time. I was also told that my iTunes may not be up to date enough in order to recognize my phone, but my iTunes is updated and still no success.
I have literally tried everything. I have read every forum on the internet (or at least, that's what it feels like!), and I have even gone into the Apple store (to which the lady said that my phone would no longer sync with iTunes, which I don't understand because I know people with iOS 6 and above who have had no issue syncing).
If anyone can provide some insight into my lengthy issue, I would really greatly appreciate it. I do not want to restore or change any settings until I am sure that I have my phone backed up in a way that can be retrieved and placed back.
Thanks!
PS, can I back up my messages and put them back on my phone? I think it's a yes, but I'm just curious.

Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

Restoring autorachived outlook notes breaks sync with itunes

Using most up to date itunes and OS for 3GS.
Using MS exchange on desktop to sync mail, contacts and calendar, on Windows.
Using Outlook 2010 on windows desktop.
Outlook notes were syncing well with itunes without a problem until I turned autoarchive on in outlook.
Outlook autoarchived some of my notes. When iphone synced, these notes disappeard from iphone.
So, I disabled autorachive and restroed the notes from the archive folder to the active Outlook folder (which also syncs with MS exchange).
This did not help, itunes was not recognizing the returned notes AND stopped sycing any new notes?
iMExchange app can see the notes and syncs wirelessly with them.
Any solution to restore syncing ability?
Tried changing itunes settings under info-other-syncnoteswithoutlook and info-advanced-notes: deactivating, reactivating, overwriting all notes.. no success

I'm having the same problem. the link above pertains only to contacts and calendar, which are already syncing fine. it's the notes that are not syncing for some reason.

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum. The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!

After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!
I searched for some solutions on the internet and applied following fixes:
1- Disconnected iphone from PC and closed itunes.
2- Reset the iphone by holding down the On/Off button.
3- Connected iphone back to PC to sync with itunes.
Apparently this fixed the problem, and iphone synced with itunes.

same here, but now you can't downgrade to iOS 7.x, since apple has closed the verification server for that version.

iTunes 10.2.2 will not recognize my 40gb 3rd generation iPod when connected via firewire. I tried connecting via USB but the iPod shuts down and disconnects after a few seconds. This is frustrating because I had no issues using firewire before upgrading to 10.2.2. Can anyone help with this issue?
