I Phone 5/I Tunes sync problem
My husband just purchased an I Phone 5. When he tries to sync his music from I Tunes on his Windows computer, some of his songs have an exclamation point next to them and when you click on that it says:
"The song, "blah, blah, blah" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
We can't seem to figure this out. Help, please!
Thank you both so very much. These Apple Communities are absolutely awesome!

My iPhone 5 is not being recognized by my iMac. All my other devices, including iPod and iPad are recognized with no sync problems. I've tried every approach with online help as well as an Apple advisor by phone. Help? Any other suggestions other than going to an Apple Store?

P.S: if you have any question then ask and please do tell me if it works or not with u but I'm definitely sure it'll work so tell me this and we'll get excited together
Also if you have an experience to share then do share it as well please.

I am using i 4 phone. recently I had a problem with my lap top and had formatted hard disk of it. Now I want to sync data in my iphone back to itune on my lap top. how can I perform this task with out loosing data in my i phone.
Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

Every time I try to sync my I phone to I tunes an error message comes up saying I do not have enough access to sync. How do I gain the access
While your iPhone is synching in iTunes, do the following:
1. Click on your iPhone's icon on the left.
2. Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
3. Choose the synch option you would like. -

After 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4 my phone will no longer sync.
After 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4 my phone will no longer sync. Keeps sitting there says "waiting for sync to start". Any ideas? It was fine before the update. I tried truning off the cloud but it made no difference. Tried on a different computer. Same thing.
I finally worked around Apple's problem. I synced my iPhone 4 phone with another computer. Lost my apps and music on the phone but still had my music database of almost 3,000 tunes. I then synced with another computer with the updated iTunes software they just sent out. Then had to rebuild my apps and music on the phone. I used Tune-Up plug-in to help with the music with covers and dupes, etc. It took me till 1 am last night but it's now working and syncing ok. I have about 1,000 tunes on the phone now, with no dupes and 95% of the cover artwork. Without Tune-Up it would take me a week to get the dupes out and covers for all the albums. I think the problems started when Apple tried to send the update directly to the iPhone rather than thru iTunes like they had always done before. I turned off the cloud and am syncing and backing up with my computer and home sharing is turned off. That method worked very well for the last few years. It seems like the combination of home sharing, the cloud and 5.0.1 software caused a lot of problems. Hopefully I have it under control now, or at least until the next software update. It was a major pita.

November 21 2014 Sync problems
I have several Apple devices and it has been safe to say I
have been a convert from the android phones and miscellaneous tablets on the
market. Each time an android update was released, purchased apps would not work
or only work intermittently. By the time I resolved the issues, another update
would be released. My husband and I switched to the IPHONE 5S 32GB almost two
years ago. I also own an IPod that is like an extension to my right arm. I used
this device all through Grad school with great success.
I travel a lot in my 2014 Fusion with Sync. My IPhone has
always worked seamlessly even after upgrades – until now. I have completed all
the upgrades as directed. When I can connect, I am randomly disconnected in the
middle of business call. This is unacceptable. I am very disappointed in Apple.
Past upgrades worked well and as close to seamless to the end-user as possible.
Unfortunately, if this is the new business model for Apple, my husband and I
might as well return to the android world as the products are less expensive albeit
still annoying. – Teri Sims - A disappointed Apple customer!UPDATE!
I made several adjustments to my sync options and made some progress and am now trying to sync in 'stages' as I like to think of them.
Here is what I did:
1.) Under 'Music' tab in 'My iPod' options I opted to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'
2.) Selected a small portion of tunes I know I want on my iPod (ended up being close to 3,500 songs.
3.) Under 'Summary' tab I unchecked the 'Sync only checked songs and videos' box
4.) Unchecked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to ___ AAC'
5.) Checked 'Enable disk use'
6.) Ran a SUCCESSFUL sync!
I am now running a sync keeping the same adjustments in place and have added 6,556 songs. (SYNC IN PROGRESS)
I am wondering if trying to convert that many songs to a lower bit rate is causing sync problems and it appears as if I am at least making progress on this. HOWEVER, I really prefer to decrease the bit rate on my songs so I may fit more on my iPod... Usually most of the files I have in iTunes are at 320 kbps with a select few at 192 kbps. I would like to make everything the way it was before my first iPod restore.. 192 kbps, but this also seems to be the cause of the sync problems I am having? Anyone else have a comment on this?
Thanks again

I fixed my Calendar syncing problems with Outlook
I have fixed my "1 day out" syncing with Outlook.
The solution below worked for me, but if you are unsure or a bit dubious then please take advice first....I'm far from a computor genius !!
When I first downloaded 9.1.1.12 mine didn't work either for all the current calendar entries, but it did work for anything new.
So here's what I did.
Firstly if you have your i-Tunes set to "auto sync" when you connect your i-Phone then disable that. That's very important. Then in Outlook create a new calendar and just name it "calendar 2" or something. The new calendar will be completely blank. Then connect your i-Phone as normal. When you have the syncing page on i-Tunes in front of you click on the "info" tab and scroll down to the calendar section. Here you have the option to sync all calendars or selected calendars. After a while the new calendar you have created should appear in the calendar section. Check the box that says "sync selected calendars" and then check the box next to the newly created calendar, making sure the original calendar is not checked. Then scroll down further to the advanced area of the page where you can select information to be synced and check the calendar box. This area allows one way syncing from Outlook to the i-Phone. Once this is done click "apply" and the phone will start to sync. When finished your i-Phone calendar will be completely blank. Now go back to Outlook and "copy" your original calendar into the new calendar. Once this is done go back to the sync section in i-Tunes and repeat the sync again making sure the new calendar is selected only to sync and the calendar box in the advanced section is checked also. This will then sync your calendar back to your i-Phone correctly, well at least it all worked for me. Ideally it's best to then delete the original calendar from Outlook leaving only the newly created one there but I'm not sure it's always possible to delete the original one so just make sure you always use the new one and that when syncing you always have the new calendar selected.
I hope this helps some of you if you're still having problems.
My PC uses Microsoft Vista with Office 2003 and I have an i-Phone 3.1.3Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less. -
Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.
Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems. iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C. When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4. This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4. It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans. (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup" What's going on? I'm afraid to choose either option.
How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?They were both displaying the same name in iTunes. I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.
