IPhone 4 Won't Sync to iTunes 10.5.2.11 (Please Help - Ty)

I am to my wits end here trying to figure out how to solve my syncing issue with iTunes.
Currently, when I plug my iPhone to iTunes - All I can see is the device name and when I click on it. I see the "set up your iPhone" screen which only allows a restore option but, I've tried resorting. Once the retores over it does not sync my phone with iTunes and then re-shows the same screen when you unplug and replug the device.
- Any help from anyone would be appreciated as I don't what to do at all anymore.
This is the first time that this problem has ever occured. Currently, I'm running iTunes 10.5.2.11 on Win7 64-bit.
These are the following things that I have done which DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE
Used the command prompt solution as adminstrator by typing : "netsh winsock reset" then restarted laptop
Done everything Apple suggested carefully e.g. uninstalling everything i.e. iTunes, restarting laptop and then re-installing and then syncing.
Stoped and Restarted AMDS
Repaired iTunes from the control panel
Re-allocated drivers to "common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers" and to "c:/program files/common files/apple/manually from Device Manager
Tried the safety mode option by clicking the shift+control buttons and then clicking on the iTunes icon on desktop
Entered DFU mode and restored iPhone - no result
Turned off Wi-Fi network then tried to sync
- I don't know what else I can do to solve the problem . Please help me if you have a solution.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
Regards,
Revv

Hi,
I have tried and confimed that you can download the previous version from some web-site about the version 10.5.1.42.
Remove/un-install 10.5.2.11 and restart your computer.
Install the old version 10.5.1.42
and then you can find the "Devices" on the left column and showing synchronizing when you connect the cable.
Good luck

New Iphone just WON'T sync - I've tried everything!! Please help

I bought a new Iphone yesterday and for some reason the lady synced it at the store (I had no idea what she was doing at that point - she told me she was 'unbricking it'). Anyway when I came home my own itunes wasn't recognising the Iphone (despite repeated attempts). So after reading up on the iphone a little bit i resetted it by deleting all data and settings. After this, every time i try to turn on my Iphone it just displays the usb and apple symbol icons, and everytime I connect it, itunes won't recognise it. Even though vista makes the "connection" sound the Iphone just isn't recognised. PLEASE HELP!! I have tried everything! Restarting comp + iphone, reinstalling itunes, downloading itunes 9, reinstalling the usb port, borrowing my brother's connection cable to make sure mine wasnt faulty. Device manager just won't recognise the iphone.
Please help!! I bought it from a store far away so the chances of visiting it again soon are fairly slim.

IPhone 4 won't sync to iTunes on iMac

Recently my iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes on my iMac. When I connect my iPhone iTunes recognizes it and I'm able to click the sync button. It goes the the sync steps, but at the end it says it can't sync becasue my iPhone is not connected to iTunes even though it is.
My iPhone, iMac and iTunes have the latest software updates. I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
I've tried rebooting both my iPhone and iMac, but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm only asking this because I just got my phone unlocked, and the service provider suggested that I restore my iPhone by syncing it with Itunes.......but maybe I don't have to restore my phone? Anyone with advice/suggestions?

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum. The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

IPhone 5s won't sync to iTunes

My iPhone 5s won't connect to my iTunes. I was able to get it to connect to my computer so I can pull up all of the pictures, but for some reason, it doesn't show up on my iTunes when I pull it up. I'm not sure what's going on. I haven't changed anything on my phone since I last synced it, so I'm sure that it has to be on Apple's end.
Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated!

IPhone 5 won't sync to iTunes since update to 11.1.3.8 yesterday

I've tried repairing iTunes and resetting the sync history since I've also been getting the error message unable to load sync services. But iTunes will sync to my iPad 4. And if I make changes to my playlists on my iPhone they do update in iTunes but not vice versa. I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit service pack 1 and iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone. All was fine until the iTunes update yesterday. Can anyone help? I can get to the iTunes store no problem and like I mentioned, I can sync to my iPad 4 with no problems. I don't receive any error message and sync appears to work but playlists and music aren't updated/changed on my phone.

After trying all of that stuff I did wind up getting a fix for my iPad.
I unselected the music and did a sync to remove the music from my iPad. When I opened my iPad the music appeared to still be there but I didn't try to play the music. I plugged the iPad back in and checked the box to copy all the music and hit apply. When it was done all my playlists were correct and everything worked correctly.
I haven't tried changing the playlists again to see if it was just a first time glitch or a continuing issue.
McCroyd I don't know if you have tried this but it might work.
Good Luck.

Everytime I plug my iPhone 5 into my Mac to try to sync it to iTunes this message shows up, "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "Emily's iPhone"? If you dont allow access, you will not be able to manage or sync your iPhone with this computer" and the only options it gives me is "cancle" and "Continue". After i click continue, it just takes my to my iTunes, I go to file>devices, and i can't choose anything under "devices".

Sigh.
People don't get it -- this is why Apple ***** so much.

Iphone 5s won't sync with itunes on windows 8 - i can see all the tunes in there, artwork etc but they won't play

Hi
Hope one of you can help, thanks in advance.......
windows 8/iphone 5s/latest IOS
I've synced my iphone with my pc and backed up too and when i go into music on my iphone i can see all the tunes listed on there including album covers etc but when i go to play one of the tunes nothing happens or sometimes the phone goes kind of crazy and seems to scroll through every album (visually) on the phone and then stop?! still without playing any actual music?
In the apple store they told me to un-sync music and then re-sync which i did but this hasn't worked. although when i had un-synced and went into my phone to check whether music had been removed it was still there (but still didn't play as described above)
so really i want to know either 1) how to properly delete all the songs from the phone and then re-install them or 2) just get them to sync properly!
Other info - i transfered itunes to a new pc recently and up until just now, i couldn't play these tunes on itunes on my PC, they opened in some terrible microsoft thing - but i just changed the file associations inside windows and now they play great - just not on my phone as described above - maybe this has something to do with the problem?
Also, this only applies to music copied from cd-> itunes on pc 1 ->itunes on pc 2-> iphone. songs purchased from itunes store work fine
Thanks for reading

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

TS3540 Iphone 4S won't sync with iTunes after update to 11.1.3

I have updated all softwares on my Macbook Air 10.7.5, included the iTunes 11.1.3.
Once i plugged my Iphone 4S IOS 7.0.3, iTunes wouldn't see it, recognize it or sync.
Other iphones show up.
What is up?
HELP! It's driving me crazy!
Thank you!
Melanie

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

Iphone 3g won't sync in Itunes after 3.0 update

Hello everyone,
I updated to OS 3.0 on Wednesday, and had no issues with the installation. I just came to work, placed my iphone 3g on the dock, and iTunes gave me the spinning wheel. The iphone is recognized briefly in Itunes, but doesn't sync. I have to wait about 1.5 minutes for itunes to respond. The iphone then disappears from the itunes sidebar.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?

Let me rephrase that
If I have a current backup of my iphone saved on my Macbook Pro. Will all of my apps, including their settings, layout on screens, remain intact after I restore the iphone, and then restore from backup?

Iphone 4s won't sync to iTunes. Unknown Error (-54)

All I'm trying to do is sync music onto my phone, and it never works. Please help me figure out what I have to do to PERMANENTLY fix this issue.

Remove and reinstall iTunes.

Brand new iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes!!

I can see this topic has been covered several times but I haven't been able to fix this problem. Is it true that you must have iTunes 10.1 to use an iPhone 4?!?! Because I was never informed of that...sorry if I'm sounding stupid but I am brand new to mac and to the iphone and don't understand. I have read elsewhere that you only need iTunes 9.2 (which I have) but when I plug in my iphone it says I need version 10.1...and I can't get version 10.1 because I only have OS X 10.4.11...what the heck am I supposed to do? Is it true I'll have to pay an additional $130 to upgrade on top of all the money I just dropped on the phone?
Please help!

If you would have looked at the tech specs:
Mac system requirements
* Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
* Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
* iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
* iTunes Store account
* Internet access
This has been out since the phone was launched. Depending on your Mac it might be a $30, or a 130. best to make an appt with your local Apple store to see what can be done.
Good luck.

Iphone will not sync with iTunes!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

My iphone has always synced up with my macbook no problem but recently when I plug it in and walk away I come back and the sync bar is half full
and will not go any further. I have tried turing off airport and restarting the phone and comp but nothing seems to work. I have all the most current
versions of software and I don't know why it isn't working. Everything I have read on other forums does not help either. Who can solve this
problem???
I am tired of dealing with this.
Please help..Thank you.

I feel that since it worked before with no problem I shouldn't need to disable anything on my mac.
No one suggested "disabling everything" on your Mac, just security apps. The fact that it worked before means nothing - these apps update themselves frequently and what's on your Mac today isn't the same, Also, updates to the iOS and iTunes make a difference.
The problem could be in the phone. Has your phone EVER been jailbroken or hacked to downgrade the iOS or unlock? Did you try resetting (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears)?

ITunes won't sync my movies or songs correctly. Please help.

Connected my iPhone 5s to my iMac; iTunes popped up & recognized my device as it should. Attempted to delete some movies off my phone through iTunes after unchecking the automatically sync & checking the manually manage music & videos. After checking only the videos I wanted to remain on my phone & clicking apply, not only does it not delete the unchecked videos but it also tells me I do not have enough room on my ipod for the changes. I was not adding, only deleting, so how could I now not have enough room? After going round and round with this I finally decided to delete all my movies & music & start over but I got the same result as above. I then tried restoring my phone to the last back up but it told me I did not have enough room on my phone to do so. Also, what iTunes shows is on my phone & what is actually on it is two different things. Please help as I have been working on this for over 2 hours now! And after finally figuring out yesterday what setting needed to be adjusted on my iMac to make the internet actually work with my new modem, which was a 2 week ordeal, I am about done with Apple!!!

Hey,
I just contacted their support and they said that if you install the filter now, iTunes will not be blocked. That's a wicked awesome turn around time!
However, you don't have to reinstall. You can allow it through the Control Center under Content Filter. Just click on the application list, uncheck iTunes, click Apply, then OK, and close the control center.
