HT4759 why cant I sync my phone on any of my computers

Why Can't I sync my iphone or ipad with my computers?

What are you experiencing? Does your computer see your iPad? Or does iTunes see it? Or is there no response at all?
Knowing more of what you're experiencing can help make suggestions to fix it.

  • Why cant i sync contacts/calendar from iphone to itunes

    Hi
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 6 plus and awaiting its arrival. I currently have an iPhone 4 which I inherited from my dad, so it was still listed as his phone when I plugged into iTunes, but my outlook email address is listed as the current active email account on the phone. Problem is, when I try to sync my mail, contacts and calendars to iTunes (when signed in with the apple id that matches my outlook email address) so as to back up the device ready for transfer to my new iPhone, I am unable to, it only backs up the apps on the phone. When I click on the phone in iTunes and select the info section, it says that I can only sync 'windows contacts' (there is no other option in the drop down menu) and underneath that I cannot sync calendars because outlook must be installed, and further below under the 'sync mail accounts' section there is no accounts listed. So I suppose I have a number of questions which don't seem to be specifically answered anywhere, or I cant find them-
    1. Is the issue because the IPhone I am trying to sync was not the original one that I had synced on iTunes to my apple id, or because my dads iPhone was registered to another email account? Do I then need to ensure that the phone is mapped only to my iTunes account?
    2. Or, Is the issue because I don't have Microsoft outlook installed on the PC hard drive? I am using windows 8 and login to the PC using my email account and can access outlook using the mail app.
    3. Or. is the issue related to another article I have found about Apple and Microsoft refusing to fix an underlying issue to allow this?
    4. If I were able to do what I am trying to do, would my entire contacts library stored on the phone be transferred to iTunes as back up for transfer to the new phone, or would it just be my outlook contacts? (I would hope the entire contact list stored in the phone)
    Appreciate any help, what I am trying to do should be quite simple but after a few hours trying and searching I fear it may be easier to just copy everything over manually which doesn't sound right!!

    You should be able to do this just as you did in iPhone. You can use OS X's mail application. Go to Preferences menu and you'll see an Accounts tab. Go from there.
    This looks like a Mac question, though.

  • HT4623 why cant i continue my phone usage after updating without a sim card

    why cant i continue using my iphone 4 after an update with out having a sim card

    I'm not sure what you mean. You can't use any cellphone without a SIM (except for CDMA phones which don't use SIMs at all). What is your exact situation? Do you mean that you have been using your iPhone as an iPod and now after the update it's requiring activation? If that's what you mean, then you will need a valid SIM, for the cell carrier your iPhone is locked to if it is locked, so you can re-activate the iPhone. You don't need active service with the carrier, though.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further.
    Regards.

  • HT4759 Why cant I cut & paste in iCloud Calender?

    Why cant I cut & paste a coup[le of words from one calender entry ( to do today) into (Invoices ) Seperate calender entry (been doing this for years in Outlook 2003. Wonder why it doesnt work in iCloud? What wonderful advance am I missing?

    What do you mean by " cannot check the notes box".
    Do you mean the box is greyed out (unselectable) or it is active but clicking in it has no effect or you can click in it but it does not save the preference.
    The details make a difference to understanding the cause of the problem.

  • If I reset my network settings can I sync my phone to any computer?

    My phone is only allowed to be sync to one computer but I dont have access to it anymore and it wont let me sync it to my new computer, if I reset the network settings will i be able to sync my phone to my new computer no problem?

    No, that has nothing to do with syncing. You need to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one. If you really don't have access then you will need to sync to the new one, which will erase everything on your iPhone, then start loading everything back on. You can download apps, iTunes music, Books, etc. at no charge.

  • Why cant i sync music into my phone

    for some reason whenever i connet my iPhone 5s on to my computer a flashdrive image ops up and wont let me sync music apps or pictures into my phone! whats going on?!

    Fix the computer.
    Regardless of what screens appear, it should still be possible to open iTunes, select the content desired to sync and sync.

  • I cant make or receive calls or texts. already paid plan. why cant i use my phone

    i just got an lg cosmos 3 and i ported my old number. but i cant make or receive calls. i cant send or receive texts either. i dont understand why.

    It can take up to a few days for ports to complete and all functions become available with your new service.  Is your old phone turned off? (You can remove the battery to be sure it is completely off and disconnected from the old carrier.)

  • Why cant i sync without a cable

    I have heard about i sync but it is through the bluetooth which for me wont work hardly at all so i got an ipad hoping it might work however does not so im wondering why it wont work. Im also questioning if this isync is just a lost cause and was not meant to work at all. I wonder if this is not a lost cause why hasn't iTunes used that a to make a quicker syncing process.
    Also why is it through bluetooth and not through WiFI so that you wouldn't be sitting for 3 hours for iTunes to fill you iphone with songs.

    iSync is for non-Apple devices only and only for contacts and calendars. You use iTunes to sync music, movies, contacts etc with Apple devices via USB.
    WiFi sync is not a feature of iOS devices for media.
    You can sync Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks etc. "over the air" using MobileMe on iOS devices.

  • TS4268 why cant i sellect my phone number for my i message on my i phone 5

    I had the same question and problems. I tried the on and off thing, didn't work. I have an iphone 4 and it too doesn't show caller ID option in the Messages settings.
    CallerID options are not in Settings> Messages. and that has nothing to do with how your messages are sent.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive at and tick your phone number.
    If you cannot see Send & Receive at, then you do not have iMessage set to On and you will only send/receive at your phone number.

  • Why cant I sync my mp3 files to my iPhone 4?

    Around 4 months ago, I found a load of old mp3 files that I ripped from a CD. I put them onto my iTunes and synced my iPhone (4) (iOS6) over wifi, and it all worked perfectly. The songs stayed on my iPhone for around two months, but since I have updated to iOS7.0.4, and iTunes 11.1.3 on Windows 7, and now nothing will sync over Wifi, or over cable. These songs still show up on my iPhone, but with the (stationary) installing icon next to it.
    Recently I found (even) more songs in mp3 that I wanted to put on my iPhone. I added them to my library, added the artist, album and cover, and attempted to sync my iPhone. They are not going across, and I'm getting fustrated. I can still listen to the songs in my Library through the "Share" option in the iPhone music app, but for that to work, my laptop and my iPhone have to be connected to Wifi. I want to be able to listen to music without Wifi, and without having to turn my laptop on.
    Is anyone else having this problem? If so, why the **** hasn't Apple fixed this problem?
    Has anyone fixed this problem?
    I appreciate your help,
    Chris.

    For God's sake, over a month, 125 views and no replies?! Please can someone help me?!

  • Why cant i take my phone out of restore mode?

    So I got what i though was an update for my iphone which said it was 7.0.6, and i clicked on it to update. Everything was going usual, but it then showed an image of the itunes logo, and i think it was indicating for me to plug my phone into my computer. I did this and a pop up came up saying itunes had detechted an iphone that was in restore mode. I clicked on the option to restore my iphone, and it states that it is "restoring the software"  but after a few minutes it just says that an error had occured and that it could not restore my iphone. is there anything i can do to fix it?

    Hi Barcelona_fan15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone restore did not complete, I recommend going through the steps in this article first:
