Iphone 4s running OS 5.1.1 will not sync proporly

I have tried over 2 days different techiniques to restore my iphone to be sycn properly with my computer. For awhile I was recieving an error and said that it would not sycn. The one major thing that I notice is that my Capacity Bar just shows everything as Other. When I sync the bar goes full and shows that I am over capacity. I have restored this device 2 times and still had no success in making this work correctly.
The lastest thing this has caused is my applications (Not all, just some) to act like they are opening the close real quickly.

I have now updated to OS 6 hopeing that it would resolve this problem… Still NADA. I have noticed that none of my music will not be added.

I just bought an iphone 4s from a friend and it will not sync to iTunes

I just bought an iphone 4s and the phone will not sync to itune. I have the music that I bought from itunes but not my other music. And when I do plug the phone up to my computer it will say that the phone is hooked up but iTunes will not show my phone like my ipod shuffle shows up on iTunes.

TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

IPad 1 is recognized by iTunes running on Windows XP but will not sync (new problem, used to work fine). The iPad and all its contents displayed but warning box says the iPad is not connected. Tried soft reboot. All software versions current.

iPad 1 connects to iTunes and displays in the left column. All elements on iPad displayed. However, it will not sync. Displays message that the iPad is not connected. This is a new issue. Used to work fine. All iTines and iPad software up to date. Ran HELP diagnotsic in iTunes with iPad connected - no issues noted. Attempted soft reboot of iPad. No help.

Issue hopefully resolved. Required Apple store to delete all info from iPad and reinstall operating system. Had to reload all data, but it seems to be working fine. Cause unknown.

My iphone 4 (running iOS 4.3.3) will not display my music library

It all started when I wanted to add a new song to my library. I forgot how to add it and accidently clicked sync, but then remembered that it would erase my library so I canceled it early. After that my phone froze, I restarted and this is where I am at now.
My music library only shows up in iTunes when my phone is plugged into my PC and it shows that my muisc library is still all there, as seen here:
When its not plugged in and I goto to my iPod App, this is what I see and it doesnt change!:
Oh and it also will not display my photo library on my phone and it also says its updating and is stuck there.
What can I do to fix this? I have had no problems with this phone yet and this is very frustrating. Everything else on the phone is in wokring order though.. calls messaging and purchased apps
thank you
Bryan

Do these other individuals actually have iDevices?
Are they having issues sending/receiving messages from others?
Can they successfully send a message to you?
Honestly, nothing about what you describe sounds like an issue with your device or Apple ID.

IPhone 4 on 4.3.3 photos will not sync?

I've never had a problem syncing my photos until just recently. I don't know if the problem is due to 4.3.3 or not. ITunes is not recognizing the folders I've selected to sync at all (I can tell because it is not allocating any disk space to my photos at the bottom of the screen when I've got my iPhone device selected). I've tried the following:
- unselecting the music sync and trying to sync without it
- resetting my settings on my iPhone and syncing after it
- hard reboot of my iPhone and syncing after it
- simply powering the iPhone off and on after the auto-sync and even manually syncing again
- copying all of the files I want from my main My Pictures folder to a new iPhone Photo Sync folder and trying to just sync all folders in that new folder or selected folders with all of my individual folders checked
- resetting my sync history in iTunes and manually running the sync again
- deleting the iPhone photo cache both in my main My Pictures folder and new iPhone Photo Sync folder and trying to sync to each folder again
- reset warnings by right clicking on my iPhone device in the left-hand iTunes menu and manually syncing again
Please help! I'm consisting getting a warning message of: "Some of your photos, including the photo "XXX", were not copied to the iPhone "XXX" because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone." I don't understand why the photos that were previously on my phone just last week will not even copy over now. I had over 2000 photos on my iPhone and now it will only copy 3 over! I can't even select 4.3.3 as my operating system when logging this in the forum. Can I revert my phone back to 4.3.2??

I just noticed that the pictures I have taken on my iPhone 6 plus, which were synched to my iMac, then synched from iPhoto are not showing up. Very strange. I just went to look for my newest photos and they are no where to be found on the phone.
Is this some kind of bug? I do recall that I have Wi-Fi synch enable in iTunes. I am going to try and disable it and re-synch to see if they show up.
I have all my photos in iPhoto on my iMac. I also have all of them stored on my iPhone 6 plus.

IPhone 2 to use as iPod Touch; will not sync to iTunes

I am a mom to triplets. For their birthday, I got three deactivated iPhones to restore as iPod Touches (for games mostly). One is an iPhone 3 (no problems with turning it into an iPod); however, the two original iPhone 2s will not allow me to sync on iTunes. I have original sim cards in each and I have restored the phones. On the iTunes screen, it indicates that I must activate with AT&T (thus, purchasing / adding to my current plan), which I do NOT intend on doing since these are for game use only! On iTunes, when I right click the iPhone on devices, the only option it gives me is it eject. The iPhones are both stuck on the "Slide for Emergency Call" screens. According to everything I have read, I should be able to make this transition; however, I suppose I am missing a very important link. Please help!!

I read this article (above) and tried to activate with original sim card. Did not work. I then put my husband's sim card in. It actually took me further, but AT&T is wanting me to change/add to my plan. I am very confused about this and don't want to sign up for something that will not cost me additional money. Do I go on through the process and click on changing my plan and then try to change it back? I just don't want anything that will be on a 2-year service agreement that I didn't really want anyway!

HT1692 iPhone shows duplicate contacts and categories and will not sync. help

Contacts are not syncing, iphone has duplicates in contacts and groups and I don't seam to be able to over-ride or replace duplicates.
Have any Ideas?

That's usually a USB timing error. I would unplug the phone and replug it in, also try different USB ports and cords if you've got 'em. Make sure your iTunes program is up to date as well

IPhone iOS 5.1.1 will not sync voice memos to iTunes

My iPhone running iOS 5.1.1 will not sync voice memos to iTunes. I have tried trimming the memos, and changed the label. No go. The "include voice memos" is checked on iTunes sync, but iTunes won't even create a voice memos playlist. Help? These are brand new recordings, and they are too long to email.

Try Handbrake to convert your movie to an iPhone format. Then reimport it to iTunes and synch to your phone.

IPhone 4s w/ iOS8 will not sync apps.

I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS8 and now it will not sync apps. The sync process freezes when it reaches the apps sync. The apps on the phone are greyed-put.

Solved: I turned off wifi syncing and synced with a hard connection and it worked.

Itunes will not sync playlist with iphone

I have playlists currently synced with my iphone. I check another playlist to add and it and itunes goes through the syncing motions but does not add the playlist to the iphone. There is over 4gb of space and the mp3's are available on my pc. If I remove a playlist from the iphone it does get removed but it will not sync back. There are no errors displayed. Itunes 8.2.0.23 and Iphone os is 3.0.

I realize that but it does not Sync back when it has only Podcasts and if it has other then only the songs and not Podcasts sync back to desk. Songs work exactly as you describe.
My point is that at least I can go on a long hike without having to start each group of Podcasts Subscriptions after it finishes the episodes in the previous one. That can be a real pain, especially on long hikes with short Podcasts. It takes a very short time to set up the on the go. I DO NOT LIKE THIS but it seems the only answer for now.
I could restore the old version from my image backup then lose the neat new feature of arranging screens on the PC instead of the POD.

Yahoo calender will not sync to iphone

My iphone 4 with upgrade to ios 5 will not sync my calender info to my phone.

had same issues. I put event via iphone and did not sync with yahoo but did with ical on the mac. main problem was writing events on the iphone not syncing. I have tried many ways to solve but I may have seemed to solve it (for me anyway) but you could give it a try.
Go to Settings- Mail,contacts,calenders.
Scroll down to calenders.
Choose DEFAULT CALENDER.
If it is ticked on icloud change it to Yahoo! which is probably at the top.
I then tried to write an event via the iphone and hey presto, it was added to my yahoo and ical calenders. Remember it may take a while unless you have set everything to push. i will give this a few tests (as i onlytried it a few moments ago myself) but seems to work.

Photos will not sync to iPhoto

Photos that I take with my iPhone appear fine on the phone, but will not sync (unreadable file) or are corrupt (blackout or whiteout stripes or funky neon colors). I read another post that asked about other items plugged into the USB port, but all I have is a wireless Apple mouse that uses a DLINK bluetooth adapter in the USB port next to the one my iPhone is using. This is the second consecutive set of photos I cannot download, so it is not the photos themselves, but something else.

Ziggy,
Just so you know, iPhone's email shrinks the images to 640 x 480 for sending. The only way to get a full quality image off your camera is by syncing so you need to get that problem resolved. Do you have your iPhone connected by a USB hub or are there any other USB devices connected to your computer? It's been reported that these can garble photos. Make sure your iPhone is plugged directly to the computer USB port and nothing else is connected. Also sometimes scanner software can be trying to access a USB port even when not plugged in.

I upgraded calendar on mobleme and now mac ical will not sync

I followed the instructions on my mobileme account to upgrade the calendar and got everything to come in correctly. However, when I now enter new events on my ical on my mac running 10.5.8 they will not sync to my mobileme calendar. Can anyone give me assistance? Thank you.

dchaps,
You may want to check the syncing interval in both your MobileMe sync preference and the "Push" selection in iCal. See this article for more details: MobileMe: Sync intervals in Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
To make sure that you have MobileMe set up properly, read this article: MobileMe: Using Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.x with the new MobileMe Calendar.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately Office for Mac does not support the correct protocols to work with iCloud.
