Try to delete the latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, then sync again. You can also try to back up manually by right clicking on your device and choosing "backup", to back up without syncing.
See this article about the location of the backup folder, in case you want to back it up before you start: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
Other data can also be transferred before, without the need to set it up "as new device" again: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • Mail won't keep password saved on iPhone 4. Help please?!?

    I am suddenly unable to retrieve email. iPhone 4 will not save my password in settings.
    I am able to configure my email successfully on a different iPhone (3GS).
    Help please!
    Thank you!

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • TS2529 Im am using Windows 7 ,I log onto to itunes and connect my Iphone.When my iphone tries to sync it gives an error message "itunes has stopped working" - this only happens when i connect my iphone and it tries to sync - help please

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync - help please!

    I lost my iTunes and all my music when my laptop died, but managed somehow to get it all back onto my new laptop - none of my music is purchased though iTunes but downloaded separately or from CDs. However when I sync my iPod it doesn't actually change anything or add new songs from my iTunes, and playlists on my iPod do not appear in my iTunes. Help please! I've tried manually managing my music and syncing but that doesn't work either, and when I plugging it into my computer it says on the iPod screen that its syncing but it doesn't show that it is in iTunes.

    Depending on how you add content to your iPod, have you seen this article?

  • Strange message on iPhone while syncing.  Please Help.

    I've been working through a posting tonight and am in the process of doing my first sync on iTunes for Music and Apps. I am using MobileMe to sync my contacts and calendar.
    All is progressing...I'm now about 25% through the sync of my 4GB of music...but the screen of the iPhone says: "Synkronisering i gang" on top and 'annuller' on the slide.
    I'm a bit nervous that I did something wrong. Did I miss indicating 'English' on a screen? Am I going to have to restore the iPhone.
    Please help and thanks.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    iChat should store that password as asked.
    However go to Applications/Utilities and open Keychain Access
    In there, check your @mac.com items lists a Password (you have to tick the box and it will ask for the Admin password).
    Also try a Keychain First Aid (Keychain Menu > Keychain First Aid)

  • I have connected a company iPhone to iTunes and it will not sync, help please!

    My company have several iPhones which are setup through the same iTunes account but when you connect them to the pc it will not sync. I need to update them and load the latest software as they are still running on very old software. Help would be much appreciated!

    Is this the computer to which they normally sync?  If not... save yourself some hassle.
    iDevices are designed to sync to only one computer/library.  Attempts to sync to another computer/library will wipe all content.  Upgrading the device requires a backup prior to the update which will remove all content if this is not the computer they normally sync with.

  • IPhone + iTunes syncing help.

    Okay, I have my iPhone, I want to put some podcasts on it.
    For some reason I can't sync my podcasts without syncing my applications too, but I don't want to sync them.
    My computer is low on memory as it is, so my half a GB of applications isn't going to help it.
    When I try and uncheck the application syncing thing it tells me that it is going to take all 48 of my applications off my iphone if I want to sync my podcasts.
    I DON'T WANT MY APPLICATIONS TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY COMPUTER.
    I can't play them on my PC, so why do they need to be synced?
    I am super frustrated, as you might be able to tell.
    Please help.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    When you sync, the iphone will mirror whatever you have synced. If you uncheck it, it will be removed from the iphone.
    You can choose manually manage music to drag and drop.

  • Iphone 4 battery HELP please and thank you

    i have an iphone 4 and my battery was great but literally a few days ago it started acting up and now it dosent last long, the phone is only around 5-6 months since i got it and ive never had much problems with battery and i had everything on excpet bluetooth and diognostics and usage are off .... i did the restore brand new but the battery still drains pretty quick and i dont know what else to do, can someone help me fix this and get it back to normal please and thank you.

    You have an app that is sending data or trying to send and failing. If you have an MS Exchange account delete it, reboot the phone, and add it back. If you have an iCloud account you probably have a corrupted calendar entry. Turn off calendar sync, sync the phone, then turn it back on. There are other possibilities; you will have to do some detective work if these don't fix it.
    Also see the "more like this" next to your message.

  • I have some videos on my macbook and i don't know how to transfer to my iphone 5s, any help please...... i'm new to apple :D

    Import them into the iTunes library, using MPEG Streamclip to convert them to MPEG-4 first if needed, and then sync the iPhone with that library.

  • HT4528 iphone calendar sync help

    I have many google calendars and all show up in my calender setting (iphone). I've chosen my primary calender with the radio button but in my "notification" screen multiple calendars show up??? how do i fix this?

    I had just the opposite problem, that is, entries into Outlook calendar would not go to iCloud. I found the following solution:
    Make sure that you are NOT running Outlook as Administrator (right click Outlook->Properties->uncheck "Run as Administrator". For some reason calendar sync (Outlook <-> iCloud) does not work if you run Outlook as administrator.
    I don't know if this will fix your problem, but it's worth looking at. Let me know if it helps.

  • SYNC HELP please

    Yesterday I had to reload windows on my PC. I lost everything. Today my computer is working fine. I have downloaded the latest iTunes, and was ready to sync. When I did, I lost all of the APPS that I had. both purchased and free ones. about 9 pages of Apps. can I undo a sync? or snyc from phone???

    Reloading the OS on your computer and then downloading iTunes meant that no information was contained in iTunes on the new computer. Without restoring information from the computer prior to reloading there would be on way to have the information in iTunes prior to syncing. If the information is gone from the iPhone, then it would be difficult to rebuild. The only way to get apps back at this time would be to sign in with your Apple ID, authorize that computer with your iTunes account and then check purchase history. There is an email address that Apple has from the iTunes support page to allow you to email them and describe your problem to see if they can help. Sometimes they will, sometimes not, as it is your responsibility to ensure you have your data backed up.
    Good luck.
    One other thing would be if you backed up the phone prior to syncing, you could always restore from that backup, however don't let iTunes backup the phone again before doing the restore. You may be able to recover that way.
