IPhone 3GS won't sync with HP Pavilion dv6-1259dx with Windows 7

I have had an iPhone for 2 months now and still haven't been able to sync it to my computer. I went to the Apple store and the worker there told me to just keep updating iTunes and eventually there will be an update that fixes it. That has yet to happen. When I attempt to sync my iPhone a window appears. "iTunes has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." and then "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Everytime, it is very frustrating, can someone please try to help me.

Let's have a look at your Problem reports to see if they show up any more information about the errors.
Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel (Or the Windows 7 equivalent ... the "Action Center"?) and open your problem history. Look for iTunes problem reports that occurred at about the same time as the iTunes errors, open them up and have a look through them.
Do they all seem to be saying pretty much the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical report into a reply here so we can have a look.

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

IPhone 3Gs won't sync contacts through iTunes after 4.0.2 upgrade

I updated to OS 4.0.2 today, and since then my iPhone 3Gs will not sync contacts. All contacts have now disappeared from my phone. The group headings still show, but Contacts is empty. I performed a factory reset and restored my phone, but still no contacts. Even after repeated syncs.
I am syncing with Address Book through iTunes. I performed a one way sync each time from laptop to phone to avoid the phone overwriting my address book with zero data. I also backed up my contacts before attempting the sync, so the data still exists in Address Book, it simply won't appear in the phone.
I also tried to reset sync history - first by using iSync 'reset sync history' button, but that does not work these days as iSync does not see my iPhone. Then I tried looking for the reset sync history' button that Apple Support says can be found as follows:
"Open iTunes. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab. Click the Reset Sync History button."
But - that button is not there!
Any ideas anyone?

Did you try to set up your phone without using the latest backup? If you can, your other backup might be damaged and not usable anymore.

IPhone 3GS won't sync or be seen by iTunes

Hi All,
I recently moved my iTunes library from my PC to Network drive.
During the move due to my stupidity I lost my playlists.
I have 2 x iPhone 3Gs and a 160GB iPod classic.
The iPod classic can sync with iTunes no problem.
When I try to sync either of my iPhones nothing happens.
I am using the same cable as my iPod and it starts charging the phone.
My PC recognises the phone as it asks me if I want to few photo's.
However iTunes does not recognise the phone.
I am not sure what to do as nothing has changed with the exception of where the music is located.
Does anytone have any suggestions?
I have been trying to get this sorted for the last 5 days with no luck

Hello taylasaurus,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes on my Mac. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.
I recommend following the steps in this article:

IPhone 3gs won't sync my exchange server email

I just got the 16gb 3gs. I synced it with my outlook contacts and calendar, which went flawlessly. My email, on the other hand, didn't sync. My exchange email account doesn't even show up as an option to sync. Obviously the phone is talking to the server, because it got my contacts and calendars.
Is there a setting on Outlook to allow my account to show up in iTunes?
We're using Exhange 2003 (SP2) and Outlook 2003

My old computer crashed completly. I have a new computer now. It is a HP with internet 8 on it. I downloaded itunes but can not sync itunes to the new computer. Every time I try I get a warning that if i proceed then all my stuff on the phone will erased.

I recently bought a new computer becouse my old computer crashed. Now I can not sync my itunes account. I get an error when I try. It says that itunes will erase my phone content and replace with what is on the phone. I do not want to lose all my stuff so what do I do?

This is how it works.
Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

What actually gets deleted on my iPhone 5 when I sync it to a new computer?

Hey Guys,
I bought a new Retina Mac Book Pro a few months ago and transfered iTunes onto it. I also had to get a replacement iPhone 5 a while back. I never synced my old phone to this computer except to back it up when getting the replacement phone. When I restored my new phone from the backup, everything transfered except for music, so currently there is no music on my phone, but everything else (text messages, photos, apps/app data) was back to where and how it was previously. When I went to add music, the standard "everything will get erased and filled with stuff from this computer" message was displayed.
So my question is this: If there is currently no music on my phone, will anything else from my phone get deleted or mssed up if I put music on it from this computer? Or will everything else remain untouched except the addition of my music?
Thanks in advance for the help!
-Chase

No, everything on your iPhone will sync with the new iTunes and all your songs which are on your iPhone will appear on your iTunes.

How to sync iTunes on a new computer without losing current content

I just bought a new Macbook pro with retina display. I have an iPhone 5C and have a lot of songs on it, I want to sync new music from my new macbook onto my phone but don't want to lose the music already on my phone.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
If you only have iTunes Store purchases transfer them to the computer, then erase sync them back again. Either that or transfer the iTunes library to which the phone is actually synced. Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Transferring iTunes library to new computer with Windows Vista OS

Using the Apple Support Guide I have tried to move my iTunes library to my new laptop using my iPod as the back up device. When I went to copy my music to my new computer by dragging the iTunes folder out of the Music folder to the desktop, a message occurred saying I must be the Administrator to do this (I am) so it would not complete the task. Instead I have located the iPod in Computer and dragged the iTunes folder into the Music Folder and replaced the iTunes folder in Music with the iTunes folder from Computer (i.e. iPod).
When I open the iTunes folder in Music, all the folders with all my music are there. However when I open the iTunes program there is no music in the library that shows up. If I sync my iPod will all the music then be transferred into the iTunes library?
As we have moved overseas I no longer have the old computer so the backup on my iPod is the only backup of the music we have so I don't want to risk deleting it.
Many thanks for any help.

thanks Bocaken , just bought new pc. will be useful
