IPhone 4 No Longer Syncing to iTunes -- Help?

I hope I am posting this in the appropriate section, but I could really use some help. Last week my iPhone 4 arrived, and I've synced it twice with my computer already, and it's worked fine. But I have been trying to sync it with iTunes for the past two days, and nothing is happening. I plug my phone into my computer, the phone says that it is charging, and the pop-up that asks if I want to upload the photos on my phone to the computer comes up, but it never syncs. I know the phone still has space because it is a 32 GB phone and I only have 800 songs on it, and less than 20 photos, and only a few videos. I've tried restarting my computer, and rebooting my iPhone, but nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

Hi my and my husbands iphones are no longer syncing to itunes but have in the past. When i try to download the latest version of itunes it won't let me do it until I load and earliers version....help

No problem.
Okay ... Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that install go through okay? If so, can you connect the phones now?

My iPhone 4s no longer syncs with iTunes over Wi-Fi

Just noticed that when I start iTunes, it no longer sees my iPhone. Recently upgraded to IOS 6. I even went to settings on the iPhone and tryied to sync manually (over Wi-fi) and it said "trying to connect to <computer name>" but it never did.
Any ideas? I connected it with a USB and it synced just fine. I have iCloud backup disabled. I unchecked the re-checked the Sync over wi-fi check box but it still doesn't see my iPhone.
Thanks

Usually re-starting the router and both iPhone and Mac helps. However, I am having this issue now as well ( as of last few days) and cannnot see the iPhone from iTunes...
if you get any luck - please let me know!

Ipod Touch 4g will no longer sync with iTunes - help!!!

I have an iPod Touch 4 and am using the latest version of iTunes 11.0.2.26 but can no longer get my ipod to sync with itunes. When I click on Sync I get the message 'waiting for changes to be applied' then 'finished' but it does not sync. I have completely restored my ipod and have uninstalled iTunes, Apple Update, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support before reinstalling iTunes. All my music in iTunes is from my own library rather than purchased from iTunes. It all used to work fine and I feel I've exhausted all my knowledge in fixing this and need some assistance. Can anyone help?

Seems like you've tried the most important steps in troubleshooting, so that's good.
What I'm wondering is: when you deinstalled iTunes and all those other things, did you do it in a specific order, according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for windows Vista/windows 7 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 for windows XP ? I don't see Apple Application Support in the list of components you deleted. I would recommend removing everything again in the specific order using the article you need and trying again to sync.
Also: try creating another user account on your computer and syncing again, because sometimes software issues are user-wide.
hope this helps, keep me posted

HT1386 my iPhone will no longer sync with iTunes. running a pc with win 8/64bit

why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? i'm running latest version of iTunes on a PC OS Win 8/64bit?

It's ridiculous how difficult this is. I've reinstalled iTunes, played with the settings, and it just doesn't work.
It will happily sync my computer library (which has nothing in it) with my phone library (589 songs) thereby (presumably) wiping out the 589 songs.
But I can't get it to sync the other way and copy the iPhone library to the computer.
It also puts new CDs on the computer but not on the phone, where I want them.
Is there anyone at Apple that cares about this abject stupidity in the software?

My iphone 4 no longer syncs with itunes after restoring it from a backup (it was fine before)?? Can anyone help?

Hi, just to clarify - I have iOS 7.1.2 on my IPhone (as thats the latest it will support)... My iMac has iTunes 11.4. This combination of device and software has been working fine until a few weeks ago when I had to restore my Computer and Phone from a recent backup. I'm not sure if it was just coincidence, but the next time I plugged my iPhone in to sync the "sync" button on the lower right of the screen has refused to be "clickable" and now, no matter what I try, I cannot find a way of syncing my iPhone It's been four weeks now and I'm worried about the new contacts etc getting lost should anything happen. Please can someone guide me through some options? Thanks.

One thing that could cause this error message is corrupted data on the iphone or computer. Close itunes and disconnect the iphone.
Now open isync in the applications folder.
Once isync is open, open the isync preferences.
Click the button to reset sync history.
Once sync history is reset, quit isync and open itunes.
Open the itunes preferences and go to the syncing tab.
Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all ipods and iphones.
Connect the iphone and go to the info tab.
Go to the bottom of the info tab and check the box to replace all contact data on the iphone with what is in the computer.
Now click apply on the bottom right corner of itunes. If this does not work, open address book and create a new group.
Add 5 - 10 contacts to that group.
Now go into itunes with the iphone connected and set the iphone to only sync to that particular group.
if the iphone syncs ok, add some more contacts and sync again.
If the iphone does not sync, remove some of the contacts and sync again.
Keep going through this process until you narrow down which contacts are causing the problem. Hope this helps.

My iPhone 4 no longer syncs with iTunes 11 - "your iPhone disconnected"

Since I upgraded, I really struggle to sync my iPhone on my iMac running Mountain Lion (fully up to date) by USB.
It keeps saying that the iPhone disconnected.
I have tried different cables and I have restarted iTunes and the iPhone. It works once or twice after a reboot.
Anything else I can try please?
Thanks.
