Start iTunes on your computer. Use the View menu to view sidebar. Ten connect your phone. It should then appear in the left sidebar of iTunes.

    I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes for Windows. Even if the computer is authorized, it keeps on displaying an error message that tells that this computer is not authorized. I already tried to do the resolutions you have given in case this situation happens.

    It's an endless circle.

  • HT1386 HELP!!! I cannot sync my iPhone to iTunes. The message says I don't have enough access privelages. And I cannot drag/drop any songs into my device. After updating, I have no music content on my phone. Please, can somebody tell me how to fix this?

    Can someone please help me? I cannot sync my phone with iTunes after updating the software, & my phone has no music. The message window keeps saying I don't have enough access privelages. It also won't recognize my new subscription to iCoud when I turn on iMatch in Settings. I have tried everything I can think of & am ready to throw this thing out of the window in frustration.

    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.

  • Cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes

    Whenever I try to sync my iPhone with iTune I get the same message: 
    This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone “Nadia's iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
    When I try to authorize I get the message:
    This computer is already authorized.
    Both devices are associated to the same iTune account.

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Cannot sync my iphone from itunes with app got from apple store

    Hello everyone, I wonder if someone can help me...
    I dwonloaded a free app from the apple store.
    My computer is authorized to do thisbut it keep on saying that it's not authorized and in order to transfer the app to the iphone I have to authorize it. Which I do and then I get the window with something like "with this computer you have 2 computers authorized". But when I try and sync the app, it comes again "your computer is not authorized.....".
    One minute it's authorized and the next minute it's not...
    I also followed the website instructions deauthorizing several times and in the end authorise it.
    The computer - even when it says it's authorised - can't seam to sync the application...
    Anyone????
    THANKS A LOT!

  • 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.

  • TS4062 i cannot sync my phone with itunes because my software is 10.5.8 so new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync iphone to my mac?

    i cannot sync my iphone with itunes because my software is too old- 10.5.8. The new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync my iphone to my mac?

    You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; once it's installed, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences twice.
    There is no other way to sync it, but content can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store servers; for non-purchased music, this requires signing up for iTunes Match, which costs more than the DVD.

  • 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.
