  • TS1538 I cannot sync my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to a new computer and installing iTunes

    i am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS to a new computer. I downloaded and installed iTunes and copied over the iTunes folder into My Music. Unfortunately iTunes on the new computer does not recognize my iPhone.
    - The old computer was running windows XP OS 32bit. My new computer is running Windows 7, 64 bit.
    - I have installed iTunes on the new computer. Windows OS recognizes the iPhone but iTunes does not. I have uninstalled and reinstall iTunes a few times now. On one reinstall, i recieved the following messages:  "an iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again".  Upon trying again, i recieved this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device".
    every other time, nothing happens other that Windows prompting that the iPhone is detected. Any suggestions appreciated.
    thanks, Singletrack200

    Made a new folder and that solved my problem

  • Reverse syncing from iPhone 3GS to iPhoto?

    I sync my iPhone to my MacBook with iPhoto 2009. I have no problems.
    Now the Mrs. wants to sync her iPhone 3GS to my MacBook.
    Here's my question:
    She already has a bunch of photo albums and video albums on her iPhone. They are NOT in the cameral roll, but are in various albums under "Photos" from when we synced her iPhone on her POS Windows Craptastic laptop.
    When I go to sync her phone to iPhoto 2009 via the MacBook's iTunes, a message comes up warning that syncing would delete the photos on her iPhone and replace them with photos from iPhoto.
    I want to keep the photos she has on her iPhone, preferably syncing them across into iPhoto on the MacBook. I'm afraid that if I sync her phone and photos to the MacBook, I will lose forever that which is already on her iPhone.
    Any ideas please?

    The sync process for photos from your computer to your iPhone is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported (the original resolution is reduced), which should remain on the computer used for transferring the photos from. Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    The iPhone does not support disk mode. It can't be used as an external flash drive for transferring data from one computer to another.
    Your Mrs. needs to transfer the photos from her PC to your Mac importing the photos into iPhoto. This can be done with an external hard drive or with a USB Flash drive or pen.

  • I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the Safari upgrade, now my iphone won;'t open any apps except the ones loaded on my phone when I got it.

    I just synced my iphone 3gs after downloading the safari update.  Now I can't open any apps except the ones that came with the phone.  I have tried rebooting, turning it off and on. 
    When I select the icon, it goes to the page then returns to my screensaver.
    It was working well before the update and sync with my Acer netbook.  Have never had any problems with itunes store or downloads.

    this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
    "The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
    And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
    Hope this helps

  • Cannot sync my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes albums on my iMac

    Even though my iMac is an AUTHORIZED computer, it keeps asking me for authorizing the machine, when I attempt to sync. my iPhone 3GS running iPhone 4. When I re-submit my iTunes log in name and password, and click AUTHORIZE, it reverts back to the same, asking me to authorize, again and again.
    I filed a help request from iTunes. I got a suggestion to trash my SC info folder. I did, but to no avail. Yestertday the helper did not respond to my d follow-up. Today she is not in. And I am still stuck.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks much.

  • Last night I tried to Sync my Iphone 3GS because I had a lot of new music only to lose all my contacts and my new music. Also lost a lot of pictures. Was able to get some back but not the new stuff and no contacts. What should I do next?

    Last night I tried to sync my Iphone 3GS to my laptap because I had a lot of new music.  What happened was, at first I lost all my music, photos, and all my contacts (all phone numbers).  I was able to retrieve some music, not the new ones, some photos but not all, and none of my contacts.  What did I do wrong and how do I get my songs/contacts/photos back.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    The -50 error is documented in this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Here is a synopsis:
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • I have synced my Iphone 3GS to the newest itunes version to get IMessage, it worked but now it doesn't and i have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should i do?

    I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • Syncing my iPhone 3gs to my new HP laptop

    I recently got a new laptop which is an HP, and I didn't ever try to sync my iPhone 3GS to it because I thought the empty library on the computer would overide my library and erase my phone's data. I was able to jump the music from my old laptop onto my new one, so I then tried to sync it. It would immediately start and finish and do nothing, however it recognizes my phone. I've tried updating everything, using a new cord, authorizing the new laptop, restarting my phone and laptop, and nothing has worked.

    Could someone please assist in restoring all contact info.  The last sync session lost all names associated with numbers and the contacts are now showing as an email address only????

  • Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty

    Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty.  The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
