  • HT1937 iPad and iPhone wont sync

    A while ago my computer wiped my iTunes and renamed it iTunes 1. I somehow managed to get some music back but it was from every single song that I had ever put on the computer and not some of my purchases.
    I've been using my iPhone ever since pretty much ignoring my laptop but I've now bought an iPad which I need to put all my songs and videos onto that should be on my laptop. However, my computer connects with my phone but wont transfer my purchases onto the iTunes. It also picks up the iPad but won't put any songs, videos, photos, apps or anything that I previously had on my account.
    Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix it?

    In order to transfer iTunes content from your computer to your iPad, the content must be in your iTunes library.
    With the iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    You must manually make your selections under the various tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

  • I connected my iPad and iPhone to sync just now and got the message, "The iTunes Library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)." What does this mean?  I clicked "OK" and the sync appears to have worked properly. Thanks - dalebird

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of this been tried?

  • Iphone wont sync with itunes i dont have apple mobile device

    i dont have apple mobile device on my computer so that means my iphone wont sync to my itunes i tryed downloading the new itunes and everything but apple mobile device still did not download why? i need HELP!!!!!

    I had the same problem. iTunes would not recognize my wife's phone as a device. My phone was just fine. So here is how I fixed her problem after exhausting all the apple support tips. First thing I did was go to apple.com and saved the newest iTunes software to the desk top (do not install yet). Then I went into control pannel to uninstall software. Uninstall the following....Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple software update, Bonjour, and then finally uninstall iTunes. Then reboot your system, once reboot is complete go to your desktop and install the newest iTunes that you saved earlier. This worked like a charm...let me know if it helps

  • IPhone wont sync to iTunes running Hackintosh

    Hey guys -
    Hoping someone can help. My 3GS (running 4.0.1) wont sync with iTunes anymore on my Dell running Hackintosh. It was working fine up until a week ago and then I had to reinstall the OS. Now the only way I can get it to sync is to reinstall iTunes, however everytime I shutdown the computer the iPhone wont sync again. iPhoto has no issues with seeing the phone.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    i have same problem and try many things to fix it but dose not work.

  • Iphone wont sync apps from computer

    My iphone wont sync my apps (94) from computer to my updated Iphone 4.2
    I restored the phone from back up and retried but they wont carry over, on my computer it says the apps are "on the phone" but on the phone screen it only displays the app i had to reinstall from the app store.
    Here are screens to give you a better view

    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

  • IPad and iPhone stopped syncing over wifi

    HI
    since I was prompted to changed my apple password my iphone and iPad wont sync. I've restarted both several times but I'm having no joy

    Hi there clare235,
    If you have as yet been unable to sync via Wi-Fi from either of these two devices, I would use the troubleshooting information in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
    iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
    The article is kind of large, but just start at the top and verify all the settings, and troubleshooting as you go. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Ipad and iphone not syncing with icloud

    My ipad AND iphone 4S have stopped syncing with icloud - for calendar and reminders at least - suspect for all apps - any suggestions anyone? Have tried ensuring default calender is the same across all, but thus is also impacting other apps.. Help appreciated.

    Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

  • My iPhone wont sync due to trouble with apps, how do i fix this so it can sync?

    I deleted a couple of the apps off the app library to make more space for my phone. I got some new songs but when i tried to sync it it wont sync and it says "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iphone "Megan's iPhone" because the apps installed on the iPhone could not be deteremined." So how could i make it able to sync?

    Now it is sync is failing to start.
