I have the newest version of itunes and now my iphone 5 and ipod touch will not sync automatically or otherwise. I've tried everything! Please help

I read through different solutions on this support site and nothing seems to work.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or                     
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • HT1386 Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Outlook calendar.  Has any one else seen this?

    Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Calendar in XP Outlook.  Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?  I've already made sure the proper check boxes are on in Itunes and tried the reset sync history.  Also re-downloaded Itunes again.  Same problem.

    Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

  • The contacts and calendar data on my iPod touch will not sync with my Mac

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch, and an iMac running iTunes 8.2.1.
    I have been away from my mac for a few months and have entered a lot of contact and calendar info into my ipod touch.
    Now, when I try to sync the contacts and calendar data on my ipod touch with my mac, the data will not sync to my mac.
    Similarly, for the last couple months, the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch has not been able to sync with my mobileme account.
    I cannot afford to lose the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch.
    Can anyone kindly inform me how to fix this syncing problem without losing such data?

    Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

    I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
    Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility?  That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
    Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
    Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says.  Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
    The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

  • HT1550 i have the newest version of itunes and none of that works!!! i dont know where the advanced menu is and i dont think you can select a song anymore

    I have the newest version of iTunes and none of that works!!! I don't know where the Advanced Menu is. And I don't think you can select a song anymore. I need to make WAV Files to put them on Windows Media Player so i can download music on my Samsung Intensity 2.

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If iTunes still does not see the iPod try:

  • I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8. I have one song that i want moved from itunes to my iphone WITHOUT erasing my iphone playlists which happens each time i sync. please help

    I have the newest version of itunes 11.1.3.8.  I have uploaded a CD into my itunes library. I would like to add one song only to my iphone. I have created playlists on my iphone and each time I sync all of my iphone playlists get erased and I have to recreated them. after the sixth time, I am very hesitant to do any kind of syncing. Is there a way to just move one song without syncing? I have read some posts that talk about this but have not been able to do it. For example, the "summary tab" does not exist on my version of itunes. I tried drag and drop on itunes as explained in their help section but that did not move the song to my iphone. Please help

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with Itunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit

    I have recently updated itunes and on the back of doing so my Ipod touch will not sync my library. The Ipod itself is a couple of years old but using iOS 6.1.6.
    I have deleted and re-installed Itunes. I have wiped my Ipod to start again. I have set it to sync over Wi-fi and nothing has worked. I physically plug the Ipod in and it gets detected. If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.
    I have set automatically download Itunes songs etc etc etc and absolutely nothing seems to get it to sync!
    Help!

    You said " If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.".
    How many steps are completed? What is listed in the status bar of iTunes when it stops?
