Iphone 3gs wont sync with music or video on itunes on mac but will on pc

All software is up to date but my IMAC has stopped syncing music and video to my iphone 3gs.
The phone will sync fine on a windows pc but I prefer to use the IMAC photos don't appear to be an issue
Running Itunes 10.2.2

A little note to add to the confusion with this is my wife's Iphone4 syncs fine with Imac and Pc

Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

What year and model?
I own a 2007 GL with an iPod adapter. My iPhone couldn't charge or play music through the adapter until the 2.1 update. After a complete new restore of my iPhone, the iPhone's music will play, however, as I expected it will not charge. Regarding BT through the MHI Puck, the iPhone will sync the Contacts & Call Lists, I now have full control through the steering wheel controls, and sound is much better than the 2.0.x FW. Through the 2.1 update, I effectively had reset all network and BT connections; be sure to reset all of your settings on the iPhone and re-pair it again, if you use a BT MHI Puck. And, be sure to wait a bit - the first pairing took about 3 minutes, the subsequent pairings are complete in about 20 seconds.
Not available on this side of the pond (yet, AFAIK), MBZ has an iPhone 3G cradle adaptor for a lot of the newer MBZ vehicles (sadly, not the GL). Mercedes' part number is 204 820 23 51. The cradle plugs into the UHI connector (option 386). More at:

I'm waiting to see if someone comes up with an adapter to the existing system's iPod connector.

You should be able to sync your 3GS to your computer and make a backup. Then connect your iPhone 4S and restore from a backup. This should effectively move all your data to your new device. Report back if you have any problems.
If you are wanting to move our data from a Windows machine to your Mac, just let us know.

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.

Hi
I have the a similar problem - only I can't actually get the calendar to show up. I've added the account and it's showing Mail and Notes but not Calendar. But I'd like it to show the outlook calendar.
I'm going to
Go to settings > mail contacts calendar
select your account that's affected
But under that account there isn't a calendar showing and I can't see any options to add it?

Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts? In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced. I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro. Incidently I am not using Icloud. Is that the problem?

My iphone 5 wont sync with new itunes

I tried adding the songs and playlists on my phone to the new itunes, and not all my songs and playlists are being added with no error messages or reason. Anyone have a solution or also having this problem? Im using windows 7 ultimate and like i said, the new itunes

From the tech specs and I believe the box the iphone came in:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)"

IPhone 3GS wont restore, missing music

Nothing but problems with my new iPhone 3GS
Firstly after the second sync all the music was replaced with "Other" data - and the iPhone was saying it had no music content. Tried resyncing it with iTunes and got the message that there was not enough space on the iPhone.
Then attempted a restore - but it gets stuck after downloading the software update while verifying the restore with apple. The message is Unable to restore - unknown error.
So I now have an iPhone which is unusable and stuck in recovery mode.
Also tried restoring on both my imac and macbook pro but both return the same problem.
Im now very disappointed and back to using my old nokia until I can get this sorted out - any suggestions.
Thanks,
Isaac

An update:
Spoke with the iPhone technical support today who found that the error message my iTunes is generating is because iTunes cannot connect to the apple server - which is strange cause i've always been able to use iTunes normally. Suggested that I open ports 80 and 443, and check I can ping gs.apple.com (which I could).
Opening port 80 was difficult. After setting the port forwarding on the router (and even placing it in a DMZ just to be sure) the port was still not open and because of leopards firewall required being manually edited in terminal with:
sudo ipfw -q add 10 allow tcp any to any 80 in
sudo ipfw -q add 20 allow tcp any to any 80 out
However doing the same with port 443 (and turning back to my mac off - which I think normally listens on this port) I was still unable to open this port.
iPhone support thinks its a problem with the mac firewall seeing I cannot connect to their servers (despite being able to use and download etc from the itunes store), imac support thinks its the ISP, and my ISP thinks its either of the apple products - they assure me that the only port they close at the ISP end is port 25 and with the computer in a DMZ then its not their issue.
In addition:
tried the suggestions above
-holding down sleep/home, then home etc
-connecting whilst holding down home
-creating a new user account and attempting to restore from there
-deleting itunes application and the AppleMobileDevice files then reinstalling
Either way, and after a half day of googling, an aspirin, and being handballed around between apples various support departments i'm still back at square one with an iphone / paperweight "unable to verify restore with apple - unknown error (3014)".
Hope someone has some suggestions - apple is clueless about this it seems. Im sure there must be more people with an iPhone stuck in recovery mode having the same problem.
Apple suggested that I take the phone back to Vodafone in NZ and have them restore it - dosnt fix the problem though. This happened on the second day of use - probably going to happen again - and what if I need to do another restore sometime?
Thanks
Isaac

IPhone 3GS not syncing purchased music to ITunes on Windows desktop.

When I plug iPhone into USB port on desktop, iTunes goes through the regular operation with photos and syncing purchased applications. However, it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop. iTunes is to sync manually. When I select "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" nothing happens

it does NOT sync the music I purchased on the iPhone to my desktop.
It won't, the itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you manually manage music, and the computer you're connected to is authorized, you must use File>Transfer Purchases once your phone appears in the left device pane, is that what you're doing?

Iphone 3gs wont sync Ringtones

Hello, can someone please help me with this?
I just got the Iphone 3gs 2 days ago for my birthday. The man at the store told me that the ringtones on my old phone could be transferred to my Iphone through Itunes. When I look in my Itunes the first problem I had was not being able to put anything in the Ringtone section. My ringtones I have downloaded from the internet site called "Phonezoo". My old phone was much simpler (and now I'm debating my purchase of this Iphone) all I had to do was download it into itunes put my memory card in and transfer them to the card, put the card in my phone and tada done. The tunes are still in my Itunes but will not drop into my "Ringtones" section now.
The few that have, only two have transferred to my phone and the rest will not transfer to my phone. They are 30 sec clips or less. I do not understand why this is so difficult. I have gotten two to transfer over but they are 1 sec clips that I wanted to use for a text message tone, not as a ringer.
Also: Is it not possible to change the text message sound to a custom sound like you can ringtones? The two 1 second tones are in my ringer tones but not my message tones.
I am currently using my laptop which has Vista, I do have a desk top which has Windows xp- does it matter which one I use perhaps? (They both have my Itunes account on them.)

You have to create ringtones for the iphone. Google will find several free ways to do this.
"Is it not possible to change the text message sound to a custom sound like you can ringtones?"
It is not possible.
"I am currently using my laptop which has Vista, I do have a desk top which has Windows xp- does it matter which one I use perhaps? (They both have my Itunes account on them.)"
No, but pick one. The iphone will sync to one computer at a time. If you change computers, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Have a look at the manual:
