IPhone 4s Synching Issue

I'm can't download my existing itunes library to an iphone 4s. I've hit every sync button, but I still end up only with the "Purchased" songs on the iphone. I have an ipod Classic, for which the sync worked. Could this be an issue with iCloud?

Iphone auto synch issue?

When I connect my Iphone 4s to my Mac via wire Itunes does not open but another application (Photo Mechanic) does. How do I control this behavior? Thanks for your thoughts and help.

Iphone 5 synch Issue

I followed the directions on how to activate wifi (airport) sync with my iphone, but it wont activate
I have the Wifi on the Iphone turned on, and plugged into my mac, I hit the sync option and it syncs, but when I just take it
off the plug to try it wirelessly it won't sync (sync button is grayed).
Did I miss a step, or are there some settings I might need to look at?

Here are the wifi sync requirements (from the iPhone iOS 6 Manual). My guess is you didn't plug your iPhone in when trying to sync:
iTunes Wi-Fi Sync You can sync iPhone with iTunes on a computer that’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Enable iTunes Wi-Fi Sync: To set up Wi-Fi syncing for the first time, connect iPhone to the
computer that you want to sync with. For instructions see Syncing with iTunes on page 16.
After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPhone automatically syncs with iTunes once a day, when:
iPhone is connected to a power source,
iPhone and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and
iTunes on your computer is running.

IPhone Outlook calendar synch issue

My new iPhone does synch with my Outlook 2007 calendar, but only some, not all, of the calendar items actually are copied over to the phone. When I create an event on the phone, it does synch back to the computer.
Any idea what's happening here?

Similar, if not same, issue here, as no calendar items come across from the computer. While I run both OSX and PC, the phone uses wife's Dell running XP pro, and it's still no joy. Running latest OS and outlook patches, etc.
I would expect coders are still working on a fix...bought the phone expressly for this purpose--while the other features are great, until this is fixed, it's a rather large thorn.
If the definitive steps to a fix are arrived at, I am all ears...

Synching Issues with iphone 4/ itunes

When attempting to synch my iphone with itunes, the synch cannot progress past the "backing up" stage. Why?? Getting a bit frustrated now to be honest.
Every time I plug my phone into the computer, itunes informs me of the latest update required (4.3.5), but because of the synching issue, I obviously can't get the new update.
any help appreciated

"iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Guru's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."
The above is the error message I receive when trying to upgrade/ synch my iPhone with iTunes on my Laptop. I have the latest version of iTunes available (10.4.1)

MS Outlook 2003 and Iphone 2G calendar synching issues

hi,
I have just recently (after a very long IPhone download) am having synch issues. Some of my appointments are on the Iphone but not seen on Outlook. I read something about a com add in but when I tried to check this and add, my outlook didn't have this option. I am very aggravated!!!! I am in sales and have many appts during the day and now I am afraid I am going to forget one if i don't check both phone and outlook.. Please help!!!!

This is causing alot of problems no idea what percentage of windows users sync'ing with Outlook this is effecting but a lot of unhappy campers out there.
For a constantly updating discussion on this try an independent site:
http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/myiphone_calendar_will_not_sync_with_outlook2007 Covers 2003 Outlook too. - (Scroll down to 16th July)
Apple although acknowledged the problem, now 2 weeks ago seem in no hurry to correct it, something to do with trying to sell MobileMe a cynic may say? Problem has mean't alot of businesses returning iphones, exchanging for Blackberries or just trying to revert back to their smartphones or ppc's.
This added to the problems of bluetooth handsfree kits not working with voicemail and 3G problems I suspect Apple are wishing they never released Firmware 2.0 and iTunes 7.7.
We are all hoping for a swift patch for this critical problem but then again we were doing that 2 weeks ago too... until then at least my XDA Orbit still works.
Repeating the appointment once so it is a reoccuring one day appointment has proved to work in the meantime - major pain though. I am testing Dionhall's fix at the moment, it sounds as if it is fixing the problem for most users. (See link above)

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.

Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

Iphone 4 synch with itouch 2g on same PC using iTunes 9.21 but it is trying

iphone 4 synch with itouch 2g on same PC using
iTune 9.2.1.. somehow all of the iTouch apps [2G 32GB] is trying to install into the new iPhone 4. How do I prevent it... it keeps saying sync in Progress and I am not sure if I should remove it from iTunes.. since I am afraid it might remove it from the iTouch when I connect it back. I thought iTunes would regard both devices as being distinct and not sharing the same iTunes folder??? I just set up iPhone 4 as a new device in iTunes 9.2.1 and I had synch iTouch 2G before on the same PC.. now it is trying to copy everything from the iTouch to the iphone... I tried everything but it is still trying to do this

Thanks, but I don't think that the shared libary feature in iTunes creates actual shares, does it? I have my own library shared but I don't see any shares showing up in Computer Management.
I don't think it's applicable, but in this case the "Bill" account actually has administrator-level access on most computers on the network, while "Steve" has limited access.
I may not be remembering correctly, but it seems to me that "Bill" has accessed a couple of the missing libraries while previously on computer A. It really seems like there is something within my library that is blocking those libraries; maybe I had accessed them but then they were disconnected abruptly or something and now iTunes/Bonjour marks them as disconnected.
It's a minor issue, but at this point it has become frustrating enough that I really want to figure this out, but I'm running out of ideas...
Thanks.

Synch issue with icloud

Hello,
I have upgraded to iOS5 last week (iphone4).
I have activated iCloud and chose to synch everything except mails and notes.
When I go to iCloud.com from my computer, I have :
- only 4 contacts in "contacts" while I have 300+ in my iphone
- nothing in calendar, while I have a lot in my iphone
- no "photostream" link, so I don't know how to see my pictures in iCloud.com
I have connected my iPhone to personnal wi-fi and to power during many days.
How can I solve this synch issue ?
Thx
Adrien

If you mean that a new reminder entered on one device doesn't show up on other devices then check that
1) The other devices are logged into the same icloud account and have reminders turned on (settings>icloud), and
2) that the remider is in the "icloud" group, and not in the "on my ipod" or whatever group.

TS1363 My Iphone stopped synching with my computer

Can anyone give me any ideas? My Iphone stopped synching with my Itunes. I can see the phone on my computer but Itunes does not recognize it.

I have a similar issue with iTunes and my iPhone 5S (7.0.4). Of course this was after the most recent update to iTunes blew away iTunes and the forum here walked me through the process to get iTunes back. I used to be able to plug in my iPhone 5S to my PC and sync'ing worked flawlessly. Now it seems that either the new update to iTunes of this latest software update to the iPhone prevents the sync'ing of music ptoperly.
Of further note is the fact that when I would make a manual change to a playlist on the iPhone directly and then sync'd it with iTunes, the changes I made on the iPhone were wiped out. I don't know which is the problem but it seems that the 2 are not compatible.
After the issues I had (as many others had) with the latest update to iTunes, I won't update iTunes any time in the near future. I am sorry that I did and I am also sorry that I allowed the update to my iPhone happen a month ago.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

AutoImporter iPhone Photo Duplicate issue

I took a look in my iphone photo synch folder today and noticed that for some of the photos, there were dozens of duplicates (i.e. file 1.jpg, but had duplicates 1 1.jpg, 1 2.jpg, etc.).
This isn't happening to all of the photos, only some. I deleted all of the contents of the synch folder, rebooted and resynched, but same scenario. Each time I connect the iphone, it creates additional duplicate copies of some of these photos.
I looked at the photos in Image Capture and there are no duplicates listed there.
Any suggestions? Is next step to try and delete everything from Image Capture or something? The images that get duplicated view OK, so doesn't seem to be corrupted or anything.

I just discovered AutoImporter and ran into exactly same issue. I'm afraid, there's nothing that can be done about it, it's just Apple way of making software: take brilliant idea and deliberately ruin its implementation with a small detail. AutoImporter is just another useless piece of software in OS X bundle, designed to make life easier but doing otherwise.
Nevertheless, I'd be glad to be wrong and to hear someone's solution on how to avoid duplicates or another way to download previously unsynced photos from iphone/ipad upon connection.

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases
