I cannot sync my iphone 4s to my itunes!! any help?

I cannot sync my iphone to itunes - any help or suggestons?

Same problem here with my 3GS
I noticed that my Capacity meter at the bottom of itunes when my iphone is plugged in only gave me 3 items; Audio, Video and Other.  No Photos, Apps or Free.  Then it was telling me I was over my capacity without even adding anything additional. So I followed the steps mentioned above.
Unable to delete itunes app, just step 6.  No step 9 file in OS 10.7
also, using the "Go to Folder" method is a bit out of the way.  Just follow the path by double clicking your HD.  So much faster.  Actually in OS 10.7 the only file you are able to delete is: /System/Library/Extensions - AppleMobileDevice.kext
Downloaded itunes app and installed with no restart and all is well again.
Thanks
This all happened following iOS 6 install and iTunes 10.7 the day before.

  • Cannot sync my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes albums on my iMac

    Even though my iMac is an AUTHORIZED computer, it keeps asking me for authorizing the machine, when I attempt to sync. my iPhone 3GS running iPhone 4. When I re-submit my iTunes log in name and password, and click AUTHORIZE, it reverts back to the same, asking me to authorize, again and again.
    I filed a help request from iTunes. I got a suggestion to trash my SC info folder. I did, but to no avail. Yestertday the helper did not respond to my d follow-up. Today she is not in. And I am still stuck.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks much.

  • I cannot sync my iPhone or iPad to iTunes. When I plug my devices into my PC, iTunes recognizes them, but just after they're recognized iTunes freezes. My iTunes works properly as long as no devices are connected. Can someone please help?

    Both my iTunes and iPhone/iPad are using the most current software. I've tried deauthorizing and deauthorizing my computer, but nothing helps.

  • I had to re-download itunes; while I can see the music on my iPod, I cannot access or listen to it through itunes. any help? Thank you!

    I've done the transfer files thing... I've also authorized my computer to play the files.

    Thank you!!

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

  • I cannot sync my iphone with my computer

    I cannot sync my iphone with my computer. The laptop wont even recognise the iphone on itunes. I have had the phone for almost over2 years now. Its a 3GS iPhone. How do I fix this?? I have tried hooking up the iphone to various computers and they also do not catch the iphone on itunes on those computers. What should I do???

    If you are using a Windows based computer, try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Then try syncing you iPhone.

  • HT1296 Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4. My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. Help

    Can't get my Music off of my iPhone 4...
    My computer died & had to get a new one, so now I cannot sync my iPhone 4 with the new computer, without losing all of my Music, because the only Music I have is on the iPhone 4 only, not on the computer. No Backup anywhere : (
    If I choose to sync it tells me all of the Content that does not match the iTunes library on the computer will be erased, do you want to proceed & I have to say no.
    How do I replace the music library on my Computer with the Music on the iPhone?
    I got my pictures off because you can access them when you connect the iPhone using Windows 7 but you cannot see any of the music so you cannot access it when using windows so don't know what to do...
    Help...

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • I cannot sync my iphone.  computer says I don't have enough access privileges.

    I cannot sync my iphone.  My computer gives me a message that says, "I don't have enough access privileges".  After an internet search, one site said that I need to delete my photo cache.  How do I resolve this, and is it wise to sync?

    Hey Tipa1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having an issue with iTunes due to permissions. The following article is related to the symptoms you described:

  • I cannot sync my iphone to new itunes library.

    I have the latest update of itunes on both computers and the latest software update on my iPhone 5s.
    I have recently gotten a new laptop. I have downloaded itunes and transferred my itunes library from my old computer to my new laptop via home sharing. However, I could not sync any of the music to my iphone. I have also downloaded the transferred music from iCloud and backed up my iphone to the new laptop in the hope this would help. However it has not made a difference and I still cannot sync my iphone.
    How am I able to solve this problem?
    Many Thanks

    Only iTunes media will necessarily be erased.  There's no way around this. 

  • I upgraded to iTunes 10.5, and now when I plug in my iPhone 3gs i get the Beach Ball of Eternal Sadness. I have to Force Quit the app, and I cannot sync my iPhone. This also means I cannot upgrade to the new iOS5.

    My OS is current and up to date. No problems there.... Intel based iMac, relatively new....
    But since i did the upgrade to iTunes 10.5 i cannot sync my iPhone. It's a 3gs. Oddly - my wifes iPhone will load and sync (it is a first gen iPhone, btw).
    Neither device is, or evr has been jailbroken. mY iPhone was syncing perfectly until the upgrade to 10.5.

    Had the same thing happen to me when I tried syncing my iPhone this a.m. - talked to Apple 7 hours ago and evidently there's an "issue" with the iTunes server. The Apple adviser told me to try syncing in an hour. Well, rather than do that, I've continued to check Twitter, searching on "itunes sync" or "itunes server" - seems the problem's still going on.
    I'm going to wait it out til tomorrow. Or whenever.
    The REASON I was synching is that ever since the iOS 5 "upgrade" photos that were in albums synced from iPhoto had disappeared. Not all the photos, just all the photos in some albums. Weird.
    Too many bugs in iOS 5 (syncing, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.). They should have waited til it was right before releasing it.

  • Hello! I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes. My phone is connected to my computer, (was able to import pics) but I cannot manage my apps or music in iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it says 'no iPhone found'. The device cannot be restored in iTunes.

    Hello! I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes. My phone is connected to my computer, (was able to import pics) but I cannot manage my apps or music in iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it says 'no iPhone found'. It then takes me to Apple Support that says:
    The device cannot be restored in iTunes.
    An exclamation point, question mark, plug symbol, or "X" appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager.
    During an update or restore, the device may no longer be recognized by iTunes
    HELP!

    Hello, Shandey. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    With the symptoms you described, try the step in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode and If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them.  Then select the appropriate operating system that you are using.
