Iphone 3gs wont sync

Whenever i try to sync my iphone to my computer, the computer will recognize the camera of my phone, but itunes does not register that the phone is connected. I tried restarting services, and i reinstalled itunes and all like it said to. if anybody has any suggestions, help would be appreciated.

This is happening to me too, since I went to ver 10 in iTunes. I have 2 3gs phones, and it works perfect on one, and won't even show the second one. I went to another computer and it is recognized immediately. Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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:

  • My iphone 3gs wont sync!! need help as i really need to sync it asap

    When i press it to sync it just says 'waiting for sync to start' and then the actual syncing never starts.
    someone please help, this is doing my head in.
    thanks :-)

    Not sure what you deleted but assuming you have windows, you might want to try uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  (You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.)  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • Iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter password

    My iphone 3gs wont allow me to enter my password.  the graphics on the phone seem to show the basic framework - ie boxes around the numbers etc.

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone.

    My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
    I already restored it but that didn't help.
    TIA for any replies.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my stuff of 3gs

    I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my all my stuff of the 3GS on to the iPhone 4

    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.

  • My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????

    My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????  I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on.  It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it.  IT just WONT charge?  Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

    Thanks,

  • 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.
