I am currently trying to sync my new iphone 5 but itunes keeps saying it cannot find my phone, but i can click my phone in itunes and see what is on it.

I synced my iphone 5s but i want to sync it again but an error message keeps saying my phone isn't connected even though it is.

First, check if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575
If your Mac is supported, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After buying Snow Leopard, I recommend you to make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, so in case the upgrade fails, you will be able to recover your data.
After that, insert the DVD and upgrade. The disc will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update to update to 10.6.8. You may need to run Software Update again after updating in order to install iTunes 11.0.1, so you will be able to sync the iPhone

iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

HT5824 Trying to sync, add new iphone to icloud, itunes. Need to add serial number so it can be activated. Any suggesstions?

I need to add new phone serial number to icloud, itunes. Find my phone keeps locating old phone. Any suggestions as to how to sync?

I don't understand. Won't the new iphone sync with itunes and icloud, assuming you have provided the Apple ID and password for the icloud? Serial numbers cannot be used to connect to itunes or icloud. Or am I misunderstanding your post?

Oh my! I just synced my new iPhone 4 to itunes and it added over 100 apps to my phone. Help!

Oh my! I just plugged in my new iPhone 4 to my computer and pulled up iTunes (on my computer). Mercy!! The sync added over 140 apps and 325 songs.
Where these all Free Apps?? and Wow! What did I do wrong? I don't like this auto-load-fill stuff.

     In iTunes you may select and apply which applications and songs you wish to have on your iPhone when it is connected to your computer.
     First select your iPhone, under the "Devices" heading on the left banner, then select the "Apps" tab, on the top center banner, to view your Application settings. From there you may check the boxes of applications you want on your iPhone as well as uncheck the ones you wish to remove.
     Still in the iPhone device settings, select the "Music" tab, on the top center banner. Then select the appropriate syncing setting, depending on whether you wish to: sync (share) all of the songs in your iTunes library with your iPhone; manually select which playlists/artists/albums/genres you want to access on your iPhone.
     After changing these settings, push "Apply" at the bottom left corner and your changes will be reflected on your iPhone.
For more information on syncing your iPhone, see http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf page 18.

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars
Resolves an issue with downloading and viewing photos synced from Facebook albums
