I cannot sync now!!

Everything was fine on the phone until this a.m. I came home, and out the phone in the cradle so that I could sync everything, and itunes recognizes the phone, but instead of syncing, it says, "An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer" and then it gives me 2 options, A) Setup as a new iPhone or B) Restore from a backup of My iPhone. Then it has my phone number and when it was last synced. What gives. I reinstalled itunes, the usb is going directly to my imac. I also hit the restore from backup, and it still will not sync. Should I restore the phone and start over??

Got it fixed! I went into preferences and went to iphone and erased the backup on the imac, and it works now

  • I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

    I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad. 
    I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works. 
    I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4.  Please help!

    I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
    Thanks for the effort

  • I cannot sync music to my iPad

    I just got an iPad 2. I am trying to sync my iTunes music library to my iPad. I was able to sync my apps, mail acounts, pocasts, and books but not any music. I have tried repeatedly with no success.  I select sync music then selected playlist, albums, artists, and so forth. Nothing happens.  Why?

  • Tried downloading itunes version 11.4 and received an error code 2324. Now itunes will not work at all and I cannot sync my phone, ipad or ipod. How should I proceed?

    I have tried several times to load version 11.4 and keep getting an error code2324, now I cannot sync any of my apple products. I set my machine to a previous recover date,  now iTunes will not work at all. I get a message stating I do not have the administrator rights to download. Any thoughts on this issue?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • 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 downgraded iTunes to 10.5.2 and now my iPad cannot sync

    I downdated my iTunes from 10.7 to 10.5.2 in an attempt to solve the homesharing problem with my ATV2.
    I had to uninstall iTunes to do this, and during the re-install I was told that iTunes Library.itl was created by a later version, so I hid it.
    Now iTunes has installed ok but I cannot sync my iPad because iTunes says my iPad is registered to a different computer.
    How do I overcome this ? I presume it must be possible to start-over after a total system failure.

    My colleagues and I have a similar type issue after upgrading from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2.
    We all use mid-2011 Macbook Pro's and also use a sapphiretech Vid-2x displayport to dual DVI adapter.  This adapter essentially bonds two additional external displays into one large monitor.  i.e. two 24-inch displays now become "one" supporting 3840x1080 resolution.  The only caveat to using this adapter is that both monitors need to be of the same model.  There are no drivers needed to use this hardware adapter.
    We don't have displayports per se, rather we use the thunderbolt port.  The Vid-2x adapters have worked fine for us from 10.7 - 10.9.1.
    Since some of us upgraded to 10.9.2 we've all experienced the same issue in that the Mac no longer recognizes the Vid-2x as being capable of the proper 3840x1080 resolution we require.  The best we can get is 3200x1200.  Another interesting note is that there are at least three different model pairs of monitors being used by us (Samsung, Asus, Dell).

  • I had to have my computer reimaged and a new Hard Drive installed - now I cannot sync my apple products - It says that my device is attached to an itunes library already - what to do?

    I have recently had to reimage my computer and installed a new hard drive - I had apple deauthorize all of my computers however now that I have installed Itunes everytime I hook up any of my "I" products it says that it cannot sync them because they are already attached to another Itunes LIbrary - The library was the one that was on my computer which had the Hard Drive crash so it does not exist anymore- Any thought on what I need to do?

  • 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

  • Cannot sync iPhone as apps were deleted when it was connected to iTunes. Now cannot upload music. What should I do?

    My iPhone was connected to my computer and to itunes. I deleted apps from my iPhone directly, when it was connected. Now I am unable to sync my iPhone.
    When I try and sync, it goes through the process then a message appears:
    " iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPhone because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be determined."
    On the 'apps' tab in iTunes, a list of 13 apps appears, when I now only have 6 on my phone.
    This is stopping the iPhone syncing fully, and I want to upload all my music to the phone.
    Does anybody have any idea what I could do? I am reluctant to add all the apps again as soem I have to pay for, and one, Post Secret is no longer available.
    Thankyou!

    I think we may have an answer here as these 2 threads seem related to our problems. Unfortunately it's not an answer that's welcome.

  • Recently, iTunes upgraded.  My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync.  The troubleshooting talks  about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible)  No other options and nothing about windows 8

    Recently, iTunes upgraded.  My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync.  The troubleshooting talks  about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible)  No other options and nothing about windows 8

    I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.
