Iphone 4 tries but doesn't sync contacts on windows 8

Hi;
   I just upgraded to windows 8 and have discovered that my iPhone will not sync with my contacts & music on iTunes.  It connects, goes through the motions and says that it is syncing, but no changes occur.  Is there a "cure"?

Hello Plimmer4
Check out the articles below to first get it recognized and then troubleshooting the charging issue. If you can get it recognized, check to see if there are any updates that can be done to improve that connection.

  • My ipod charges, but doesn't sync to itunes

    My iPod charges, but doesn't sync with iTunes.

    This is the Mac OS X Technologies > iSync forum - you are a Windows user.
    iSync is a Mac-only application for syncing Contacts and Calendars to mobile phones and PDAs. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows, iPods or iTunes.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen. not working, music plays but doesn't sync\

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen since a long time and it always worked perfectly. But now it has stopped working well. It has music stored inside and it plays it, it evencharges from the pc, but doesn't sync in iTunes, nor it shows up on Desktop. On iTunes the message in Italian says idt couldn't be identified and to reconnect the iPod and retry. I tried the Reset Utility but it says my iPod isn' supported even if it is a 2nd Gen iPod. The only positive thing is it shows up on System Profiler.
    I tried also turning off the iPod for 5 seconds and turning it again on, but the issue is still there.
    Have you got any suggestions?
    Thankyou

    Actually it turns out I can't even add to it. It claims it's synced to another library (which apparently is true, being as it was last used with my Macbook Pro). Somewhat new question, How do I combine the two libraries, as it's all mine, just on two different computers, one of which doesn't work unless it's in Hard Disk Mode.

  • I just got a new phone today the iphone 5c and i plugged it into itunes. i wanted to get all of my data from my iphone 4s but when i synced my phone all of my iphone 3 data was on my new phone how do i get my iphone 4 data on my new phone?

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

    In trying to download itunes 11, I keep getting the message, verfiy that you have access to parental advisory. When I click yes it continually re tries but doesn`t load. Any ideas ???
    Actual message
    Error writing to file;C:\programs files(x86)\itunes.resourses\da.lproj\parentaladvisory.png. Verfiy that you have access to that directory.

    Sorry I can't help but I do get the same error. Previous versions of iTunes on Win XP machine ran fine. I have uninstalled, rebooted, and tried a new install but still get the same error. I can access the directory via Windows Explorer so not sure why the error says it can't access the directory.

  • My PC Windows 7 harddrive crashed.  I have a new harddrive.  But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes.  They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import.  Is there anyway to retrieve them

    Restore your library from your most recent backup (you do keep regular backups, I hope).  If the hard drive is in any way salvageable it may be possible to mount it in an external enclosure, connect it to your PC, and retrieve data from it even if it is not functioning as a primary OS drive (if you don't have the kit necessary to do this, your local PC repair shop may be able to help).  Failing that, you can always recreate your library by re-importing your CDs.

  • After update iphone says syncing but doesn't sync

    Hi. I just updated to the the new itunes.  Now I cannot sync any music to my iphone (4s).  It says syncing but no music shows up on phone.  I have tried to drag songs over to iphone list on right had side, but no luck.  I have tried starting in airplane mode as others suggested, but no luck.  Do I need to uninstall and reinstall itunes again?  I had to do this when I couldn't get the itunes to download. I have windows 7 also.  There is no error message, it just doesn't do anything.  Thank you.

    in the iTunes window, select your phone, then go to the "music syncing tab".  Ensure you have your music set to sync.

  • TS3694 I've tried to sync my iPhone 3GS, but it'll sync a little and then disconnect when almost done; I get error message 1015, and I don't know what to do. Everything else is fine, my iTunes info is up to date, and so is my OS, ect.

    I've tried syncing my iPhone 3GS, but it'll stop when the sync is nearly complete, and the sync is interrupted with an error message reading "Error 1015". I've already tried all of the other things suggested by iTunes (ensuring that my OS is up-to-date, disconnecting other USB cables, ect.), yet this problem persists. Help...

    5.0.2 has not been released, thus you can not upgrade.

  • My iCalendar syncs between my iPad and my iPhone, but doesn't sync every entry with iCloud on my PC.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    I live by my iCalendar and when I pulled it up on my PC this evening, I've noticed that only certain entries are syncing with my iCalendar (on my PC).  For example, my work schedule is present on my PC, iPhone, and iPad, but my class schedule is only present on my iPad and iPhone.  I have my settings adjusted so that every event/entry is to sync, and I just plugged my iPhone into my computer to sync it as well but to no avail.  
    Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? 
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Sync PC to iphone ok, but need to sync iphone to MBk Pro

    I've had an iPhone since day one. Also a new Mac Book Pro owner (first Mac)
    I can sync my contacts and calendar from Outlook on my office PC to iphone. No problem. But then I want to sync from my iphone to iCal and Address Book on my Mac Book Pro. No can do using iTunes. BUT, can you sync cal and contacts from iphone to .Mac and then from .Mac to MacBook Pro. Or do I need to purchase MS Entourage (MacOutlook)
    I know this sounds convoluted, but my office PC is my base contact station. I can't change that, but I would love to have my contacts available for Mac Mail.
    Your suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.

    Do you get an error message when syncing on the macbook pro?
    Also, have you tried creating another user account on your macbook, opening itunes, address book and ical. Then try syncing your contacts and events from the iphone to the computer?
    When syncing information from the iphone to a computer, open address book and ical. Make sure there is at least one contact and one event in address book and ical. This way itunes or sync services will ask if you want to merge the data. Otherwise the data on your iphone could be erased.
    Hope this helps.

  • Connecting iPhone to MBP via Bluetooth (Sync Contacts)

    Does your iPhone connect to your computer via Bluetooth? Mine will not.
    I have a new iPhone 3gs and a MBP. The MBP has 10.5.8. Pairing the two is easy enough, once the pass code is typed in to the iPhone a window on the computer says that pairing was successful. The IPhone is listed as a device on the computer as well as the computer is listed as a device on the iPhone.
    This is where the problem begins. They will not connect. I have tried everything I can think of including:
    Finding and dumping any BT prefs
    Wiping the 'devices' from the MBP
    Wiping the 'devices' from the iPhone
    Rebooting the MBP
    Rebooting the iPhone
    Re-pair the devices
    The iPhone pairs and connects to my BT headset no problem. My old cell phone (Nokia 6555b) pairs and connects to MBP no problem. Bluetooth works on each device, but they will not connect with each other.
    All I wanted to do was get my contacts sync'd .... pretty simple typically. After I gave up and hardwired to the computer to sync music, photos, calendars, etc I discovered I could sync contacts as well through iTunes .... BUT .... this does not solve the problem. If I were connecting Apple(s) and Orange(s) then pairing and connecting could understandably be an issue (other party hardware), but this is Apple(s) and Apple(s) .... Apple Mac to Apple iPhone .... a little embarrassing to say the least in regards to how I brag up my Macs.
    Any thoughts please?

    The BT on the iPhone is used for wireless headsets and stereo headphones - ie audio listening applications. The new APIs allow apps to use the BT to connect to 3rd party devices for some functionality (though I have not seen a device that has implemented this yet). Regardless, the iPhone does not support any manner of file transfer or sync via BT

  • ITunes sees my iPhone 4S but will not sync!

    I have a 64G iPhone 4S. When I plug the phone into my Mac Book Pro, iTunes recognizes my phone and begins to sync but NEVER actually syncs. It times out and say that iTunes is unable to sync with phone. I have tried everything that I know and everything that two Apple tech people know. Uninstalled iTunes, reset and restored the iPhone. Apple sent me a new phone and it still doesn't work!! My wife's iPhone 4 syncs fine with the same computer. I have even tried syncing my 4S with a different computer and it does the same thing. I even took my Mac to two other Internet/network sources to see if the routers or network settings was the issue and it still doesn't sync!  Someone please give me some tips!
    Thanks,
    DB

    I don't know if this will help but it just fixed my iPhone 4 that was getting error messages and refusing to sync.
    Sounds weird but it has worked for others with syncing problems too.
    Connect your phone to iTunes by USB and let it go through its sync timeout thingy.
    After that, select your iPhone icon in the left hand panel in iTunes, scroll down to the bottom of the Summary page (main window) and uncheck 'sync with this iPhone over wi-fi'.
    Next, check the box to enable 'Manually manage music and videos'.
    Now click Apply and see if it goes through the motions. (Obviously, with nothing manually checked it won't copy any apps, videos or music on to the iPhone, and the sync process might happen quite fast)
    If you don't get an error this time, you might have fixed it. If so, to finish the procedure, uncheck the manual sync option and click the Apply button again.
    It's up to you whether you leave the iTunes wi-fi connect option off.
    There seems to be a glitch with iTunes and iOS 5.1. It was made even worse in the upgrade to iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago. But I am no techy, so that's JMO.
    Hope that helps, but is a long shot for you with a new phone.
