Iphone 3gs cannot sync to itunes

why my iPhone 3gs cannot sync to itunes? after i click synced, the phone seemed to sync to itunes but when it's about to complete, itunes cancelled the sync. WHYYYY? I've been having this problem since i've updated my iPhone to iO5.

Two things to try:
If you have a Windows computer open a Command window and type:
netsh winsock reset
If this doesn't fix it, or if you have a Mac, your current backup may be corrupted. Delete it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, highlight the backup and delete it.
And if this still doesn't fix it, you may have a badly corrupted backup. Delete it manually by going the the Backup folder and deleting everything in it. You can find it as follows:
Mac OS: ~Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

IPhone 3GS cannot connect to iTunes app

I got the Mountain Lion installed on my MacBook and now I cannot connect my iPhone 3GS to it, and when I try the iPad it does not work either... I tried to reset the settings on the phone, but since the iCloud was acting very weird I never used it properly and the wire connection does not work - therefore I cannot use my phone now. Can you please help me somehow??
Thank you!

Check the iPhone discussion and you will find dizens of identical posts to this. The most common suggestions are
Reaset the date
Settings > General > Date & Time
Turn "Set Automatically" OFF
Set Date & Time to the year 2013
Relaunch Passbook
When you have done this and downloaded the apps to back to Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically to ON.
Try using Cellular connection
Settings > General > Cellular
Use Cellular Data for... iTunes ON
Use Cellular Data for.. Passbook Updates ON
Wait until Apple gets things sorted out on the App Store or the unexpectedly heavy load abates
Neither of the first two options worked for me so I am waiting somewhat impatiently for Apple to sort it out.

Iphone 3GS not syncing to Itunes and credit card declining with funds

I've been researching this for 2 months now and I know there are many with the same issue(s). Has there been a solution to this yet?
Issues:
-credit card declining with sufficient funds available
-Itunes does not recognize the iphone
-unable to purchase songs
-when there has been a new release or update, my iphone will all of a sudden sync.
Thanks for any assistance or pointers.

Hello Paul....
Hmm. My phone had a crack in the screen and got a bit wet in my bag when a drink leaked. It didn't turn on for a few days but then it worked again despite the fact the LED screen was a bit damaged but it was locked on the Emergency Calls only screen.
Anyway, today I did some trouble shooting and I was successful in connecting the iPhone with iTunes and selected "restore".
This meant iTunes did export software and I could then see the little progress bar active on my iphone...
Now my iPhone seems to be unlocked because it is not in the emergency screen anymore but it is asking my to select a language and then a country and then I cannot get any further....
In Devices in iTunes it says.... "There is a problem with your iPhone, please visit the Service Answer Centre."
Do you think I can revive it?
Regardless, I have good news! I found my lost iPhone 4s so I am a really happy bunny.
It would still be cool to the 3Gs working as I use it for my iPod.

I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

IPhone 3GS cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39).

My iPhone 3GS won't sync. I get an error message in Step 5 of 5 when it's trying to delete photos. The message says "The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
How do I fix this? Is there anyone out there who can please help?

Try restarting your phone and computer, use a different USB cord, use a different usb port on your computer. Try these to see if any of them help. Good luck!

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

TS1368 I cannot sync my iTunes library to my iphone 5 can you help I get error message connection could not be established to iPhone

I cannot sync my iTunes library to my iphone5 can you help I get error message a connection could not be established to the iPhone

Yes it is.
Initially I got an error message saying can't connect because of Date & Time settings.
Went in and re-verified that those were correct.
Tried to update downloads and then got a new error message: "Can't connect to iTunes Store".
I live in the US and that's where I created my iTunes a/d and Apple ID.
I am currently in India --- can that coause confusion re date & time?

Iphone 4 not syncing to itunes

My iphone 4 will not sync to itunes. itunes recognizes it but when i sync, it will say that the syncing failed to start. Any advice?

I am having a problem with my iPhone 4 not syncing to iTunes in Win 7. It says "cannot read contents of iPhone, please click on restore to reset the iPhone to original factory setting."
I have tried many possible solutions but still the problem persists.
Including
1. Reinstalling iTunes
2. Power cycling my iPhone
3. Disengaging the iPhone automatic synchronization in iTunes
4. Deleting all previous iPhone sync backups
5. "Resetting the sync backups"
6. "Resetting the network settings" on my iPhone
FYI
1. Ironically, I am able to copy my pictures and videos from the iPhone using Windows Explorer.
2. All of the music was strangly deleted from my iPhone
3. The problem appears to have coincided when I installed iTunes 10 on August 31st.
4. At the time of that the problem surfaced, I had used almost all of the 32 GB of memory on my iPhone and was not able to take iPhone videos because of an error message that my "memory was full" [I have since deleted 5 GB of Apps from my iPhone and it currently says I have 4.5 GB of free space when it is shown in Windows Explorer].
5. The Hotspot feature on my iPhone abruptly stopped working around the same time that the problem surfaced. When I was last able to use the Hotspot feature, my iPhone indicated that there were actually 2 devices connected to my iPhone 4 Hotspot. But I have never given out my password, so possibly my iPhone was accessed by an unauthorized user.
How do I fix this "will not read contents of the iPhone issue?

Iphone 3gs not recognized by iTunes 10.3.1, Windows 7 64bit

Iphone 3gs, 4.3.2
iTunes 10.3.1
Windows 7, 64-bit
Ever since iTunes updated I am unable to sync my iphone 3gs. I have tried the following steps:
-Uninstalling all iTunes and related software (per apple support steps), restarting, reinstalling all itunes software. Did not work.
-Trying several different USB cables, did not work.
-Tried all USB ports on my computer, did not work.
-Restarting phone/computer, did not work.
-Turning off antivirus software (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm), did not work.
I tried syncing with my friends computer (iTunes 10.3.1 and Windows Vista), and it worked! Unfortunately none of my music is on that computer.
Next, I came across an article and tried the advice listed (install ifunbox on pc, delete itunes.db and itunes.cdb files on Iphone). This allowed my iphone to be recognized by iTunes. It began to sync, and gave me the following error: Unable to sync because the disk is not available.
I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, it began to sync again. This time it went through all of the aps succesfully and got about halfway throught the music portion, and then iTunes froze. I restarted both systems and this happened the last 5 or 6 times...iTunes freezes during the music sync portion.
One other interesting note...in iTunes, the space claim bar (colored bar on bottom of sync screen) shows that there should be about 5 GB of music on my iphone, however the ipod app on the iphone shows no music.
Ughh sorry for the long post I am so frustrated right now.

Nope, haven't been able to fix it. I was able to get some songs to sync by 'manually managing songs' however the songs were all corrupt. They either wouldn't play, or they would start in the middle of the song, and the beginning of the song would somehow be spliced in to the middle of the song!
So frustrating. I can't get apps to sync either.
At this point I am not even going to try syncing my phone until a new iOS or iTunes comes out.
For now I have resorted to jaibreaking so that I can at least have a little fun with it

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. Lost everything I put on it this weekend (including ALL my pics). Is there any way to unsync it so I can get all of that back?

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!

In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

"sync" fails to open? Do you mean, iTunes?
If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
If so...
Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
Scroll down to "Options"
Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
Apply
My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

Contacts missing from Iphone 3GS after syncing

I synced my daughters iphone 3GS and then my iphone 3GS to the same itunes account on my pc. Most of my contacts were gone when I got done syncing but I had my daughters contacts. How do I get my contacts back? Ive synced my phone again to the same pc and it doesn't give me any options to fix my contacts.

I did set all my email contacts to be on the phone, and checked the iCloud. Re-synced the phone with itunes on my macbook. I have turned the phone off and left it turned off for 10 minutes and then turned it back on.
The contacts I am seeking are still missing.
One in particular I know had no email address associated with it.
I'm about ready to quit my iphone.
