I just updated my itunes, on my computer, and now it won't sync with my iphone 4s

HELP!!!

Maybe a little bit more of an explanation would help. What is actually happening? Saying that you can't sync apps or music opens up so many possibilities and if you could narrow it down ....

Just updated to iTunes 11.1.3 and now music won't sync

I have an iPhone 5 and I recently bought several CD's and wanted to sync them to my phone. When I connected my iPhone to my Mac, iTunes said there was an update, so I went ahead and updated the software and then attempted to sync my phone. It says it's going through the steps in the top window but once it finishes, it hasn't actually synced.
I have tried closing iTunes, restarting my Mac, restarting my iPhone, checking for updates to iTunes and my iPhone but so far nothing has worked. I would delete all the music & reload it back on but I have over 3,000 songs & they are mostly from CD's. Any other ideas or advice to help?
Also, when I look at the tab "On This iPhone" when it is connected, all the songs that I have purchased through the iTunes store are in grey, as well as the songs from the CD's I just bought & am trying to sync. Does this help answer why iTunes won' sync? Any help would be great, thanks!

cutwright 93,
I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
(I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
1. On the phone, go to Music.
2. Click "More."
3. Click "Shared."
4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

I had to restore my computer and now it won't sync with my iPhone

I had to restore my computer to default and now I can't transfer items in my iTunes library to my phone. Is there anything besides 3rd party software that I can do to authorize this computer. I restored my phone and I could transfer songs, but then I lost all of my contacts.

Try and reset your iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

I followed the thread and used the link provided to download iTunes version 10.6.3 (again). The same error message keeps coming up, telling me that I do not have it installed. I tried restarting the computer following the install, but it still won´t acknowledge that 10.6.3 is installed. Any other solutions?

HT1349 Transferred songs from old iPod to new computer and now songs won't sync to my iPhone 5

What should I do? To get them to sync to my phone?o

What computer OS are you using? Do you have the latest version of iTunes (v11.1)? There has got to be a reason for the disconnect in the music syncing. I would recommend resetting the sync history. If you are in Windows, go to Edit, Preferences, Devices, and there is a button there. Now, with the phone connected to iTunes and the phone selected in the Device pane, you go to the Summary page and down towards the bottom of the page, there is a Reset Warnings box. After doing that, try to sync music again. If there is a problem, with the warnings reset, it should show up if there is one.

I just updated my itune on my PC and now it doesn't start. There was no error in installing/upgrading the software but once I rebut the computer the icon appeared but it wouldn't start the program. Did I loose all my music and data?\

I just updated my itune on my PC and now it doesn't start. There was no error in installing/upgrading the software but once I rebut the computer the icon appeared but it wouldn't start the program. Did I loose all my music and data? How can I fix the problem? Thanks

Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

Just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s

I just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s.. I have tried EVERYTHING. I completely uninstalled & reinstalled my itunes 2 times. Everything is completely up to date, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it makes the normal beep sound, and charges, but will not sync or show on iTunes so that I can sync anything..

Hey ksooter,
I know you have said you have tried everything but have you tried out some of the troubleshooting in the article below? For instance, have you checked the Apple Mobile Device support is installed properly and if the Apple Mobile Device is installed? Take a look at the article below to double check some of the things you have done to see if you can get your iPhone to show back up.

I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Hi drgpeck,
This article is for a similar issue, and the troubleshooting steps would be recommended for your specific issue:

I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

I had an iPhone 3GS, but my husband had a newer one, so he gave me his when he upgraded to the iPhone4. When we uploaded everything, it took it all except my music. Now when I try to download my music from iTunes, it will not sync with it.
No error messages
It pops up the box where it asks if you want to view folders, download your pics, etc. There is nothing in the box about music (iTunes).
I have rebooted my phone and computer. Downloaded the lastest version of iTunes, Deauthorized and reauthorized the phone. Not sure what to do now.

Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

Just updated to iTunes 10.2.1 and now can't add any new songs.

My MACbook is running 10.5.8 and just last week I updated to iTunes 10.2.1 but now I can't add any new songs at all. I go through the motions but when I check the "recently added" checklist, it's blank. The song is never added to my iTunes library. Is there a fix for this?

RESOLVED.
I tried updating iTunes to 10.2.2 thinking this might somehow help me but same situation. Upon further investigation, the set of MP3s I was trying to add didn't have the typical MP3 logo on them. When I tried to delete them from my system, it said "in use by application". I forced a delete. I copied the MP3s again to my MACbook and this time was successful in adding them. Looks like it was a bad set of MP3s and not iTunes.

I put music from a CD into my iTunes and now it won't sync to my iPhone 4S

I put a CD onto my iTunes and then tried to sync my phone with my itunes on my computer and the album isn't showing up on my phone. No error message showed up and there's more than enough space left on my phone. I've tried restarting both devices. Do I need a new phone/computer? Do I have to go to the apple store? Please help!!

i had the same issue, though my mac desided to take all my music off my phone and i managed to fix it by unchecking the option to sync any music in the devises music tab clicking apply and then reticking and then clicking apply again so maybe give this a go?
Good luck!
