Hi HT201407,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be frustrating when your iPhone does not activate the way you would expect. In this situation there are some great troubleshooting steps I would recommend. Please use the attached article as a troubleshooting reference.

IPhone/iMac sync problem following Yosemite update

I updated to Yosemite and have had multiple frustrating problems. The most recent one is that when I synced my iPhone after the update, almost every single entry disappeared from my calendar, causing me to miss an important appointment. When I compare my iMac calendar to the iPhone calendar now, I can see indications on the iPhone of items that correspond to the iMac items (little dot on the day on the monthly calendar), but when I click on the day there is absolutely nothing visible on the calendar. And obviously no reminders going off, causing missed appointments. On my iPhone calendar I have changed no settings at all following Yosemite update, and prior to update everything that was on my iMac calendar was showing on the iPhone. I don't do iCloud, I just sync by physically connecting the phone to the iMac.
My impression is overall that Apple is getting very lazy now that their market share is getting so huge. Yosemite update has been a disaster for me.

Sorry, on rereading I realise that the information is not completely clear. The items that are missing are on the iPhone calendar. The iMac calendar still has all the items that were on it before the Yosemite update. What has gone wrong is that somehow the phone calendar is not being updated properly at sync; for some weird reason the display (and reminders) on the phone calendar were wiped out with the sync to the iMac following the Yosemite update.

Unique iphone/Outlook sync problem ???

Hello all,
I have followed posts for over a month now (since I got my phones) and have yet to see this specific problem. I even spoke with the 1-800 people but their insight was limited at best. So I decided to sign up and place this post. Any help would be appreciated. I too, like many others have had problems syncing my iphone with Outlook (2003) both ways. I use Outlook express for email/contacts (via WAB) these sync fine. I just have to open my email a/c (since both my wife and I have iphones and separate emails). Never get any error messages for Outlook calendar when I sync; in fact occassionally get the "you are about to change more than 5% of what is currently there." When I open Outlook though nothing comes up. Same thing with Outlook; if I place new appt then sync; it does not show up on iphone. I have read and tried every suggestion within these posts to no avail and pretty much had decided I would have to live with just using the calendar on iphone alone. Here is the kicker; my iphone crapped out a week ago; top third of touch screen would not work; called the 800# went through all their template troubleshooting; tried to resync everything again so I could load it on my loaner. Never could pull it up on Outlook though. Accepted the fact I lost my calendar; however when my loaner came to me when I placed my sim card in and synced it; much to my amazement the calendar popped up on my iphone. Still having same problem of new items entered either on iphone or Outlook not syncing either way. BTW have received a new phone now; just wondering if anyone has any insight to this problem and what I could possibly do to fix it.
Things I have already done (from posts read):
Uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes
Have most recent software on iphone
Added sp2 for Outlook
Added sp3 for Office
Inactivated my Norton's when syncing
Checked and made sure I do not have Windows Live loaded
Confirmed PST file accepts unicode
Anyone that has any help for me; it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem when I first got the phone when they first came out and I spent a few hours on the phone with them. I had reoccuring events set up in my outlook that were scheduled with no end date. Apparently it caused some sort of sync problem. I had to go into the event that I scheduled to occur every third day with no end-date and I scheduled it to end around the year 2010. Anyways, I don't know if this will help but it worked for me.
good luck!

IPhone 4 sync problems - adds 60,000 blank contacts and calendar hangs

Since the beginning of this week my iPhone 4 has stopped syncing properly. It adds 60,000 blank contacts to my computer (which take hours to delete) and then completely hangs when it gets to the calendar sync. I left it syncing overnight and it was still at exactly the same point when I came back to it this morning.
Does anyone else have this problem? And how do I solve it?
I can't find any mention of it on the Internet.
I have an iPhone 4 with the latest version of iOS, a late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook with 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and I'm running (stupidly, I suspect) Outlook 2011 SP1.
This is driving me insane. Please help.
Also, does anyone know how to get support from Apple? Their support pages are the most confusing things I have ever seen in my life.
Thank you.

Me too. Think it is since 6.1.3.
Interesting other quirk is that as well as NOT syncing my calendar, it also unticks my calendar from pc on the iphone.
When ii retick it, i get the calendar back, but as it was before the sync, ie, it does not have the bnew events from my pc in it.
This is a 2 way problem.
New events on my iphone wont sync to my pc, and new events on my pc wont sync to my iphone.

IPhone photos syncing problem

In iTunes, I'm getting the error message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." when I connect my iPhone to my computer.
What does this mean, and how do I remedy this?
Thanks!

Figured it out. Somehow the extension changed from JPEG to JPG. Changing it back sloved the problem.

NEW! iPhone recent audio problems/audio stops during phone call

I have only noticed this problem for the last 1-2 weeks. I didn't think much of it, until 2 other friends were talking about the same problem.
I will be in the middle of a conversation on my phone, when I notice that the other person isn't talking back...I'm getting zero audio out of the earphone. They can hear me just fine, I've discovered. I have to disconnect the call and then call them back.
One friend has an iPhone 3G. I have the 3GS. I'm using firmware 3.0. He has updated it to 3.0.1. Another friend has a 3GS with firmware 3.0.1 as well. Same problem.
I have noticed that it MOST frequently happens after about 4 minutes of conversation time, but it's not every time.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? This isn't the usual dropped calls or "call failed" message.

Guys, my daughter in Norman at OU has had problems all day. Phone shows 3G connection and full strength on bars but slow texting, dropped calls and sometime even unable to call out. Rebooted phone twice with no luck.
Strange its Oklahoma. Several have made appts to genius bar. Tried to make on in OKC at Penn Square around her classes but could not. Only a few available next week on Tues and Weds. They seem pretty booked up - I bet with the same problems.
I suspect this is an AT&T issue, but if anyone gets back from the Genius Bar with answers or ideas, please post them here so we can all learn. Thanks!

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

IPhone 3GS SYnc problems with Windows 7 64 Bit

I am having sync problems with windows 7 64 Bit.
The iPhone syncs a few tracks then hangs, a few minutes later itunes tells me the iphone has timed out.
Anyone have any ideas about this. I have tried different USB ports, cleaned the apple USB cable contacts with Servisol, restored the iPhone and reinstalled itunes.
iPhone and iTunes are latest versions.
Thanks
Joe

"Try this connect the iPhone, let the mtp driver installation fail, then go into the device manager and uninstall the unknown mtp device. If you then scan for new hardware from the device manager it should recognize the iPhone & update the driver."
Ok here's what I did:
1) Connect the iPhone (iTunes had been installed)
2) No MTP driver installation is happening as Windows detects iPhone successfully
3) Open Device Manager
4) There seems to be 2 drivers for iPhone that are active now, although I still can't see which one is the MPT driver you're referring to.
One of them sits under Portable Devices: "Apple iPhone". If I view the details of this driver, it lists the following files:
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\UMDF\WpdMtpDr.dll
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusb.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WUDFRd.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtp.dll
- C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
The other one sits under Universal Serial Bus controllers: "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". And as indicated by Joe above, it lists the following files when I view the Details:
- C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\usbaapl64.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\usbaaplrc.dll

HT1848 iphone - macbook syncing problem

Hi, I'm trying to get music from my iPhone onto my new macbook, but it keeps asking me to delete iPhone music in order to sync. My iPhone is synced with my old macbook, which was stolen, so I can't transfer/ update information. Is there any way round this? Any advice appreciated - thanks!

iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
If for some reason you have no backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer purchases.

The IPhone 4 Blue can communicate with other Phone(no IPhone)

I want to know if i can use My IPhone 4 Bluetooth with other phones( no IPhone)?

Yes I did. There is nothing in the peer-to-peer specs that state that both devices have to be iPhones - only that both are running compatible apps using the PAN profile. In theory, another format version of the app could be designed to do this.

Iphone music sync problems

Hello,
I recently transfered music from my dell laptop (music uploaded from personal cd collection) to my new iphone 4s. The songs appear on the phone in light grey but will not play. I have authorized the laptop after the transfer per a suggestion from friend when I first encountered problem. Still no luck. Any ideas.
Thanks,
Toad

After updating my iPhone 5 to 7.0.3 a few weeks ago, this issue has been bugging me. Finally got it syncing on mine after all this time. Simply unchecking the Sync Music and applying and then checking it back on and reapplying did not work.
What I finally did:
1) Uncheck all the playlists that are checked AND uncheck the Sync Music and then click Apply.
2) Then recheck the Sync Music box AND recheck the desired playlists and then click Apply.
(You may have to unplug the sync cable and plug back in before step 2. I had to do it on occasion, but sometimes I didn't and it worked fine.)
The caveat is that apparently you may have to do this everytime you want to add a playlist or song. Also on occasion I found an issue where I click on a song but it would play another one and moving to another song would play the song I wanted to play previously. I did a reset and it played correctly after that.
It's an inconvenience for now until a certain company fixes the issue. Hope this helps.

ITunes 9.0.1 (9) update fixed my iPhone 3g sync problem

After upgrading to iTunes 9, my iPhone would no longer sync with my iMac G5 (Tiger). I spent 35 minutes with Apple on the phone (no solution), then talked to a Genius at the store for 20 minutes. They made another appointment for me to bring in my iMac and the phone.
Well, yesterday morning a new iTunes update showed up (imagine that) and I installed it. Well, after that, I plugged in my iPhone and "beep" it showed up! Before that it never beeped and the battery icon wouldn't show. USP port worked fine with my kid's iPod, so I knew the port was good. Also tried the same cable with a PC at work, that detected it just fine.
Oh well, thought I would pass this on incase anyone else started having sync issues after iTunes 9.

I had the same problem at first install. My phone, once plugged in, was not being recognized by either window or iTunes. Same OS and same version. I tried switch USB ports and had no luck. Finally I changed USB cables and for some reason that fixed it. It finally allowed the update of the drivers to kick in and then my iPhone be recognized.
I am not sure if this will help or not but you might give it a shot. Please note that the first cable that would not recognize at first was a 3rd party and once I grabbed a new cable to try it was a apple specific.

IPhone 4s sync problems

Hi. I have an iPhone 4s wich i have been using on the same computer for a while. Problem is that today it says my computer is not authenticated and it want to delete my apps. I do not want to delete my apps, but i want to be able to sync my phone to the pc. How to fix this?

Did you check if your computer is still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
If yes, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup".
A manual backup will be created without the sync process.
Right click again and choose "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and other media to your computer.
After that let iTunes erase the phone and use the manual backup to restore your data and settings again.
