I am having great difficulty syncing my iPhone 5

I am having great difficulty syncing my iPhone 5 and especially with the Apple ID and password.  It never lets me in.  I will change my password and it gets reset but when I go to use it, the window message says incorrect password even after I have reset it successfully.  I have done this now at least ten times and I am at wits end to be able update apps or get info I need.  Apple ID/PW process is not user friendly at all.  Please HeLP!!!!!
Now I am trying to add songs and ringtones to my phone and it won't connect so I can sync things.  I really need help.  Seriously.!!!
Thanks.

Hello, katieokane1. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder.  Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write.  You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.

  • HT1386 I'm having a problem syncing my Iphone 4 to iTunes.

    I am having a problem syncing my Iphone 4 to Itunes, how can I fix this problem?

    Is it just your home WiFi, or all WiFi? If it is just your home network start by rebooting your router. Turn it off or unplug its power for 15 seconds or so.

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error message. Not having any issues installing any other software.  Was having no issue syncing w iPhone. Made the mistake of uninstalling prior version.

    I cannot install the latest version of iTunes on my laptop (windows xp). I receive a windows installer error. Am not having any problem installing other software or syncing w iPhone.  Made the mistake today of uninstalling my older version and not cannot install new.  Need new version in order to sync w new iPad.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

  • Anyone else having problems in syncing their iphone 5 i.e copying films to their c drives??

    Is anyone else having problems in syncing their new iphone 5? I seem to be having problems in transferring/copying films to my computer & i keep getting a message to say that the copying has failed because the device cannot be found?! I have been trying for three days now to get this transferred over and it seems to keep wiping music from my phone too? Can anyone suggest a solution please?

    Did you restore from backup, or as a new device?  Restoring from backup just restores the same corrupt software back to the phone.  Restore as a new device and don't use any backup at all.

  • I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my macbook

    I have been trying to sync my iphone 5 with my macbook but itunes keeps saying 'error (-54)'. I downloaded new albums and they will not sync onto my iphone, and this has never been a problem in the past. Also, on my itunes, when i click on 'Iphone' it shows some of the song titles faded out with a dotted circle beside them, indicating that they cannot be played. I have tried restarting my mac but it has not worked. Could anyone help me?

  • I am having difficulty syncing my iPhone with iTunes.

    When I connect my iPhone to my PC and attempt to synchronize it with iTunes, it either stalls at "syncing contacts," or I get the following error message:  'iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later."  Any suggestions?

  • I'm having problems with syncing my iphone calendar to my ipad, but not the other way around

    My iPhone 5 will not sync with my iPad calendar.  If I make any changes or add an appointment on my iPhone it will not sync to either iCloud or my iPad, however if I add or change an appointment on my iPad or iCloud it will update my iPhone calendar.  I've read where other's are having the same problems but haven't read anyone's post of where a solution has helped.  Anyone??

    There is no  8/9 pin to 30-pin to adopters that support audio. There are such adopters but they only support charging and syncing, not audio

  • I'm having problems with syncing my iphone 4s calendar with google calendar.  google calendar will sync with phone but phone calendar won't sync with google calendar.

    I can't get my iphone 4s calendar to sync with google calendar.  I can sync the other way i.e from google to iphone.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    If you don't do this per the instructions included with the link, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync. If you haven't transferred photos from your old computer to your new, any photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your previous computer will be erased when selecting to transfer any photos from your new computer.
    Not sure how cancelling a sync with iTunes and importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll with iPhoto could have an effect on your GPS reception and location services.

  • I am facing difficulty sync my iPhone 5 to my macbook pro; It is not responding. How can I fix this?

    My Iphone 5 and my IPad suddenly started facing problem syncung with the Mac book Pro; I think this is after the last update. I used to get the update over the cloud, meaning of I purchase on my ipad, I will find it over my iphone. That has stopped. That is not even my concern now. My concern is, when I attach the cable from my labtop to my computer, it sis acting up. Could it be a faulty cable? i tunes is not registering, and the entire program spins, without end.
    Your support is appreciated.

    That adaptor should work.

  • I am still having great difficulty with pages docs in iCloud.

    I thought Pages docs created on either device - ie iPad and MacBook - were supposed to update automatically but they don't. I can see the little cloud thing in action while typing on my document on the MacBook but the document stays exactly the same on my iPad and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help please?

    Documents that have been created or edited on your mobile devices and saved in iCloud, can be accessed from your Mac at the website iCloud.com. You will need to download the documents from iCloud in order to edit them on your Mac.
    Similarly, any documents created or edited on your Mac, will will need uploading to the iCloud.com website in order for you to share them with your mobile devices.
