I have been unable to sync my phone with itunes - how can I fix this?

When I link into itunes, I am told that my phone is not registered.  I have had my phone for less than 6 months.  It worked through the itunes up until May and then I was unable to get it to connect to sync with itunes.  I am able to buy products but not share with my other devices.  How do I fix this?

The actual error message reads :  This Iphone can non be used because the Apple mobile device sevice is not started.

  • HT1386 Since the new update I have been unable to sync my iTouch with iTunes

    A month ago I downloaded some new music and synced it to my iTouch no problem. It seems like since the new update I have been unable to sync BOTH of my iTouch's to my iTunes. When I connect the iTouch to the computer it shows up but not in iTunes. I have redownloaded iTunes with no help. It just keeps showing up as if nothing is attached.

  • Hey i have my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem..

    Hey my iphone is not synching with itune, how can i solve this problem?

    It can sync with a 32-bit, so long as you have the correct version of iTunes installed. I'm assuming that you are referring to a Windows based computer, so check out this support document regarding the device not being recognized by Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • New version of itunes wont download to my pc it keeps saying i have an invalid signature and stops the download. How can i fix this?

    When i try to download the new version of itunes my computer says it cannot download and tells me to click the download only option. When i do this it then tells me the download has been stopped due to an invalid signature.
    How can i fix this?

    That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Some songs I purchased on iTunes will not sync on my iPhone5. How can I fix this?

    Several songs I've purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone, even when I have the checked to sync.  How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Here's a screenshot... it attempts to pull form iCloud but fails... so then moves to the next song after a couple seconds.. other songs that are failing do same.
    Btw, tried deleting all copies form iTunes and iPhone then re-downloading... no love. Same issue (exact same incorrect artwork)!

  • HT204053 i lost my iphone and reset it all through find my iphone and after locating it and getting it back i can not turn the phone back on how can i fix this

    i lost my iphone and reset it all through find my iphone and after locating it and getting it back i can not turn the phone back on how can i fix this

    Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipad 3 is diabled and saids it needs to be connected to itunes how can i fix this if i dont have a computer at home?

    my ipad 3 is dissconnected how can i fix it if i dont have a computer

    To my knowledge you can't; there are occasionally issues that arise that require plugging the devices into a computer to have iTunes resolve the problem. 
    Can you use a friend's computer (I recommend creating a new user account to do this just to prevent possible issues with their existing iTunes account, doesn't seem to be as much of a problem recenlty as it once was, but it's always better to avoid the possibility). 
    You might also find an Apple Store with someone there who is willing to help, or library/school with computers you can access for free in order to fix whatever is going on with the iPad.
