IPhone 4 and iPad wont sync with iTunes

I bought a mac mini a few months ago to replace my powerbook (don't need it anymore). All of the files transfered fine but iTunes will not allow me to sync my iPhone 4 or iPad. When I try to transfer files or sync in anyway, iTunes prompts me with "This computer is no longer authorized...." etc, so, I click on Authorize, enter my credentials and it says "This computer is already authorized". I click OK and it again says "This computer is no longer authorized....". This puts me in a never ending cycle of trying to authorize the computer and I can't seem to bypass it.
I put this off for quite a while as it wasn't really impacting anything, but now it is and I need to get this resolved. Any hints, tips, fixes etc would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you ever get a fix to this?  The same thing just happened to me too....

    Hello Jamiem75
    If you have to restore, yes everything will be erased from your iPhone. If you have a backup, you can put that backup after the restore.

  • Iphone 4s and 5 not syncing with Itunes

    Please someone help me. I am having the same issue with my iphone 5 and my daughters iphone 4s. We are using Windows on Asus newer laptop. We are on the most up to date versions of Windows and itunes. When you plug into computer and it connects to itunes, it says that the phone needs to be restored. When you try and restore it, it gives you an error. I then take it to anyone who has a mac to restore it, bring it back to our computers and try again. This time, it will recognize it but when you try and sync the music, it will go through steps 1-4 and then the bar with the music will instantly go back to no audio on it. I have tried the process several times and it does the same thing. When I take it to the apple store, they say it has to be an issue with my pc because it restores fine on their mac. Help!

    I finally got iTunes to sync with my iPhone 5
    I followed the step by step instructions in this archived support article:
    Archived - Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If the issue remains, try these steps:
    Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
    In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash. (This will not remove any of your iTunes media or your iTunes library.)
    Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/Extensions
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "AppleMobileDevice.kext" and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart the Mac.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    Click Go.
    Locate the folder "MobileDevice.framework" and drag it to the Trash.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
    Restart the Mac.
    Download iTunes and reinstall it. Test to see if the issue persists. Then, restart your Mac a final time to confirm issue is still resolved.

  • Apps on iPad wont sync with iTunes

    Since a few weeks apps I bought on my iPad will no longer be copied to my PC when I connect with iTunes.
    When I synchronise iTunes says it copying the apps to my PC (the names appear I in the informationwindow), but they don't appear in the Library/Apps afterwards, nor in the Apps-tab under iPad.  Neither do I get any errors-messages
    I tried:
    1. Selecting "Transfer purchases ..." from the menu
    2. Clicked the button "Synchronise" in the "Apps"-tab
    3. In the apps-store of iTunes rebought a (free) app that I previously bought on my iPad and wouldn't appear in iTunes
    4. Removed the "iTunes" folder in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer" and resynchronised
    5. In "Preferences" reset the "Synchronisation history"
    Anybody any idea what is going wrong? Anything else I can try?

    It should transfer the content when you sync. As long as you are signed into the correct iTunes/Apple ID on the computer as you are signed into on the iPad, the purchases should transfer.
    Try to transfer the purchases manually.

  • Ipad wont sync with itunes 10.3.1

    Hi,
    I recently updated iTunes to 10.3.1. I then went to sync my iPad2 and it kept failing when syncing some audio books. Some error about disc not available I think.
    This then made all the videos and music disappear from the iPad2 even though iTunes could still "see" it and the space was still taken.  After searching for answers I kept trying to sync but the content never reappeared back on the iPad2.
    I figured I would reset it so I did. iTunes then tried to restore it and that seemed ok, the Apps recopied but the content failed!  To get a suceessful sync I turned off syncing of anything but Apps. This seemed to go ok but when it finished it told me that there had been 25 errors and pretty much all the Apps had failed to copy!
    I can redownload them all over WiFi but now I'm worried that I'll not be able to copy ANY content to my iPad.  I also will not sync my iPhone until it's the problems are resolved with th iPad.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Also some recently added photos were corrupted when synced to the iPad2...

    All my content is on a mapped network drive (RAID-ed).
    Up until now it's been fine.  I've done a few quick tests to see if there's a problem and it all seems ok.
    The message I get seems to imply it's the iPad2 that can't be found rather than the content...
    Could it have picked up a memory issue...? Are there diagnostics to run on the device (iPad2) itself

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • I created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the dev

    i created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the device is password enabled, Please somebody helpme

    If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

  • I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    i purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.
