HT4623 since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync?

since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?

Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried.

  • My computer became corrupted, and I reinstalled windows, only to find my iphone will no longer sync with the same computer. How do I sync my phone and tones to the same computer without losing everything?

    This is my first time using this forum, and I apologize if my post isn't "normal" or if my question is too long. My old acer computer had become corrupted and I had to reinstall my copy of windows. When I tried to sync a new ringtone to my iphone, which was only ever synced to this same computer, I was prompted to delete everything I had so I could install one ringtone. That does not sound ideal, and I refuse to delete everything I've put on my phone and my data to sync to itunes. There has to be another way to show my phone that this is the same computer. So I do not have to go through the hassle of doing everything again. I could not find an answer in the forums, and hope you can help me. This is pretty close to being a deal breaker for me. I'm beyond frustrated with this policy.
    I don't believe it matters, but I'm running the latest version of itunes, as of today, and I have an iPhone 4 CDMA iOS 7.4.

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

    I'm not sure what your question is. If it's about your iTunes downloads/library then copy them back from your backup of your library and add it into your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
    Or you might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - if you've changed countries since buying them, or if the rights-holder has removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them.
    If you have non-iTunes purchased music on your phone and don't have a copy of it on your backup then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  now when syncing my iphone to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  How do I fix this?

    Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing.  How do I fix this?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • My laptop crashed and it was an authorized computer for my iPhone.  How do I remove this from my list of computers?

    My laptop crashed and it was an authorized computer for my iPhone.  When I downloaded iTunes to my new laptop and authorized it, I see that my old laptop is included in the count of authorized computers.  How do I remove this from my list of computers?

    You do not, nor do you need to until you reach the limit of 5. Then you can deauthorize all.

  • How can I reformat my Mac Book Pro without using disc utility? My laptop keeps crashing, and needs to have everything reinstalled, but disc utility will no longer open, saying it 'quit unexpectedly'. I'm running Mac OS X10.6.8. I've lost install CD.

    My laptop keeps crashing. This seems to happen only when it's streaming from sites such as Netflix, YouTube or Spotify.
    Also, it stopped being able to run iTunes, and can't download Yosemite.
    I want to wipe it and reinstall everything - I've already done a full back up.
    The problem is disc utility will no longer open, saying it 'quit unexpectedly':
    I'm running Mac OS X10.6.8 and I've lost install CD.
    I have no idea what to do, but need to get this sorted as quickly as possible as I need my laptop for work.

    Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.
