I am trying to sync my iPhone 5 on iTunes but it identifies it as my iPad? why?
I am trying to sync my iphone5 onto itunes but it keeps identifying it as my ipad. How do I
change it? Now, I only get a screen on my iphone showing "itunes" and a iphone "plug" pointing
to the "itunes". I cannot get out of that mode.
Hi sdl2001,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone only shows a "connect to iTunes" screen, see this article for steps that can help:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

I am trying to sync my iphone with itunes on a new computer, but over 3 quarters of my music is missing. It seems that only the songs downloaded on itunes in the last 6 - 9 months have transferred. How can I get the rest of it to sync?
You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You will probably get better help by posting in the Using iPhone forum.

when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?
I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes
My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes using a new user account on my PC. Nothing is syncing, but iTunes keeps telling me it has synced. My ulitmate goal is to backup contacts, etc. before updating the phone's software.
You need to use the same Apple ID you used when you synced your contacts intitially.
That kind of data cannot be transferred to another account nor can accounts be merged. -

I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8. I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so for my new iPhone 5S. Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel. What do I do? How do I move music and pics? And keep them synced up as I purchase more?
Sorry, but that is correct. You need Snow Leopard to sync your phone and the latest version of iTunes and you old G5 cannot run that.

I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?
I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

I'm overseas and need to sync my iphone with itunes but I don't have my computer. How can I sync it to my friends computer without losing my music and data?
Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur. -

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need a little more information regarding what exactly you are experiencing when attempting to sync photos to better assist you. However, here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through.

Please can anyone help? I am trying to sync my iphone music with itunes, but am finding that as soon as the sync is complete the data bar shrinks back from almost full (my entire music library) to just 100 songs, which happen to be the contents of one playlist I have. i cannot seem to change the music content on my phone no matter what? PS when I hit sync the capacity bar fills up, but when I apply, it drops back to just those songs I already mentioned :- (
thank you randers4, unfortunately these restrictions aren't to blame. Now I realise the problem - I tried to play some of the music and found out that the source data wasn't attached. The computer was rebuilt and backed up - and it seems perhaps hasn't all been copied back. I am currently attempting to copy accross some itunes files from my backup drive. Bit confused, too many itunes files of different types but fingers crossed getting closer to the solution......?

I can't see the photo tab when trying to sync my iphone from itunes
For some reason, all the tabs are not showing on itunes when trying to sync my iphone. The 'photos' tab in particular is missing. It shows I can scroll to the right to possibly see the rest of the tabs, but when I scroll across to the right, it moves the whole page across, but nothing from itunes moves across with the page. Sorry, it's hard to explain. I hope you can help.
Sorry, it's probably really easy to do, but I'm not sure how to change it. I have a Mac book. Can you help? It's strange that it seems to be the only tab missing, and only when I connect my iphone to sync, it doesn't happen when I sync my ipod. It's weird, and it never used to disappear. I need the photo tab back
Sorry, and thanks to anyone that can help
