Iphone 3G - Connecting and syncing with computer

I am very non-technical and have just purchased a 3G. After spending a good bit of time with Apple support, it appears the my version of Outlook (2002) , makes it difficult for the Iphone to function with my primary comouter as it should.
Has anyone had the same problem and was it resolved without having to upgrade Outlook?
Thanks

I had the same problem and APple told me I had to upgrade to Outlook 2003 at a minimum. After that it worked fine. HOWEVER, that was until the new 2.0 version of the iphone software that was released with the 3G. Now ALOT of people seem to be having trouble with synching again. We might have to wait for a software update from Apple, so I wou'dnt waste too much time trying to make this work until Apple issues the upgrade.

  • Iphone 5 backup and sync with iTunes ..says i need more memory

      I just bought more icloud memory for my iphone 5...because it said i needed 1.4 gb of space to backup... It would not let me sync my iphone on itunes.  I still can not back up..What should I do?  I guess no reason to buy that 10 GB from itunes.

    You probably need more free space on your phone, not in your iCloud account.  (Additional iCloud storage doesn't increase the space on your phone.) 
    Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much available space you have.  If you need more and your music is in your iTunes library, delete your music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music, tap Delete.  Then back up and sync with iTunes, and sync back the music you still want on your phone.

  • Iphone 3gs will not sync with computer help !!

    Okay, I've tried everything I read on the internet and nothing has worked. I even erased the data and settings off it because it wouldnt sync with my Itunes. Now its telling me to connect it to Itunes but I cant? Also I activated it off a different computer because I was having trouble installing Itunes, now that I finally have it, it doesnt work. I'm going out of my mind here can someone PLEASE help me ???

    Oh well no not that, its just that it does not appear on the Itunes left side bar. I'm re-istalling Itunes now but I don't think it would make much difference because I only installed it yesterday so its not that its an old version. Nope no error message or anything just doesnt show up. When I go onto the start menu and click computer the Iphone shows up there.

  • I have experienced great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and synced with computer and iTunes and deleted from computer and then synced again but managed to get hundreds more unwanted photos.

    I have had great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and connected to computer and iTunes but cannot find anywhere to click on delete I also deleted photos fro computer and synced again and then found hundreds of more photos on iPad which were unwanted at the same time I lost a film I had purchased from iTunes and   The soundtrack of film from iPod

    Photos that were synced from your computer you should be able to delete by movin/removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (or de-selecting the whole folder if you want to remove the entire album from the iPad).
    Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. They should also appear in Windows Explorer on PC where you can delete them, and in iPhoto on a Mac you can delete them after importing.

  • Need Help, my Ipod Nano won't connect and sync with ituens

    So I downloaded the most recient itunes update the other night, and now my ipod nano will not sync with itunes.  My computer when I search devies and printer shows in devies as (apple ipod USB device, and for unspecified devices Apple Moble Device USB Driver), and I have tried other ipods around the house and they will sync with my itunes with no problem.... also another thing is that if I close the itunes and try to reopen itunes with my nano is pluged in it will not open. But when I remove this particular Ipod, and try to reopen itunes ill will open.
    I have tried redownloading itunes a million times, used different USBs, restored itunes to new, and restarted ipod, and have restarted the computer a million times.
    Why is it that this one nano will no longer link to itunes so that I can update my music on it. Please any one begging you, I am loosing my mind a patiences. Anyone help me please, I just want to update my music on this ipod.
    How can one ipod no longer sync????
    Please and thanks.

    I saw in one thread related to this that you have to make sure that the process "iTunes Helper" is running when you have your iPod connected. You can see that by running Activity Monitor, select All Processes, and then look for iTunes Helper. Based on everything else you tried, there could be a physical problem with your Nano. One of the pin connections may be bad. Will it show up on another Mac's iTunes?

  • 'iPhone previously synced with computer' error when I connect to itunes

    I have a v1 iphone and yesterday morning upgraded to 2.01. That seemed to go just fine and I used it all day.
    Last night the batter ran out and upon plugging it into the charger it seems as if the phone has been de-activated. I then connected to iTunes and received the message saying "An iPHone has been previously synched with this computer" and I chose to restore from my backup which seemed to work fine. I could use the phone no problem.
    This morning I connected it to iTunes to move some music over and it gave me same "An iPhone has been previously..." message as before. So I'm restoring again, but I'm wondering what is up and if anyone else is experiencing similar issues

    I also have been experiencing this issue since yesterday when I tried to upgrade to 2.0.1
    Half way through installing the firmware update, my phone went nuts and kept disconnecting and reconnecting (hardware growler notifications) before throwing up an error (which I unhelpfully cannot recall now, but which I think was of the 0x800 'unknown error' variety). I cancelled the procedure and ejected the phone, before physically disconnecting it. Upon reconnecting, I was greeted with the same message as the original poster.
    I went through the backup restore procedure successfully, but now every time I reconnect the phone to my computer it comes up with the same screen:
    *An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer.*
    *1. Set up as a new iPhone.*
    *2. Restore from backup.*
    I've been through the backup option at least three times now (takes an age) and each time I reconnect the phone I get the same message. I've rebooted my Mac, rebooted the iPhone, all to no avail. I'm very hesitant to try option 1 above, which I feel may solve the issue but I'll lose all the phone data in the process. I'm aware I could write it all down and re-input it, and some things, like my contacts, can just be re-synced from my Mac address book, but there's plenty of other stuff on there that is unique to the phone that I would not be able to get back on it easily.
    If anyone has any insight on this matter it would be gratefully appreciated...
    For the record I'm running an aluminium 20" iMac, Leopard 10.5.4 with an iPhone 3G.

    I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates.  There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work.  I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently.  Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates.  I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Computer says: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on "localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"

    Hi,
    I just bought an I-Phone 5S. When plugging it to my Macbook for the 1st time to copy music from my I-Tunes, this message comes up: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on “localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
    Pls help. I'm always so scared I can loose all my contacts if i am to answer "yes". Also, why am I being told the IPhone is synced with another ITunes Library when it's litterally not been connected to any at all? I dont get it.
    What shall I do?
    Thanks for your help,
    Myzin.

    This would indicate that you bought a Used iPhone and/or have Connected it to another iTunes Library.
    By design an iPhone can only sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

  • My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I fond my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks

    I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks
    P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

    If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
    You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.
