IPhone 4s syncing with computer
on my iPhone i have been trying to sync my itunes playlists and music but it says on the computer this is what is on the phone yet nothing changes on my phone. weeks ago it worked just fine now it wont sync..
any ideas?
I have a very similar issue, since upgrading both my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to iOS6, both have stopped automatically syncing the photostream. If I disconnect from my Wi-Fi network and reconnect
, then open the photostream in the photos app, it will sync about 10 or so pictures and then stops again. I've left it connected to Wi-Fi overnight twice now, but neither will sync any photos on their own.

Iphone wont sync with computer
cant get iphone to sync with computer i have never had trouble before
To determine your OS version:
1. Right Click on My Computer. Go to the ‘General’ tab (opens by default).
2. Click on Start then Run. In the ‘Open’ checkbox type Winver.
Either one should tell you exactly what version of Vista you have (However, it's likely you do indeed have Vista 64, in which case the iPhone will not sync properly). -
'iPhone previously synced with computer' error when I connect to itunes
I have a v1 iphone and yesterday morning upgraded to 2.01. That seemed to go just fine and I used it all day.
Last night the batter ran out and upon plugging it into the charger it seems as if the phone has been de-activated. I then connected to iTunes and received the message saying "An iPHone has been previously synched with this computer" and I chose to restore from my backup which seemed to work fine. I could use the phone no problem.
This morning I connected it to iTunes to move some music over and it gave me same "An iPhone has been previously..." message as before. So I'm restoring again, but I'm wondering what is up and if anyone else is experiencing similar issuesI also have been experiencing this issue since yesterday when I tried to upgrade to 2.0.1
Half way through installing the firmware update, my phone went nuts and kept disconnecting and reconnecting (hardware growler notifications) before throwing up an error (which I unhelpfully cannot recall now, but which I think was of the 0x800 'unknown error' variety). I cancelled the procedure and ejected the phone, before physically disconnecting it. Upon reconnecting, I was greeted with the same message as the original poster.
I went through the backup restore procedure successfully, but now every time I reconnect the phone to my computer it comes up with the same screen:
*An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer.*
*1. Set up as a new iPhone.*
*2. Restore from backup.*
I've been through the backup option at least three times now (takes an age) and each time I reconnect the phone I get the same message. I've rebooted my Mac, rebooted the iPhone, all to no avail. I'm very hesitant to try option 1 above, which I feel may solve the issue but I'll lose all the phone data in the process. I'm aware I could write it all down and re-input it, and some things, like my contacts, can just be re-synced from my Mac address book, but there's plenty of other stuff on there that is unique to the phone that I would not be able to get back on it easily.
If anyone has any insight on this matter it would be gratefully appreciated...
For the record I'm running an aluminium 20" iMac, Leopard 10.5.4 with an iPhone 3G. -

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I have been trying to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer. As a result I have ended up with many of my apps on the old computer, but missing from the the new one and the iPhone. How do I get the apps on the old one to the iPhone and then the new computer?
You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

How to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer after the home computer crashes?
My iPhone was synced with my work computer. That computer crashed now I am not able to get any other computer to recognize my iPhone, so it is not fully functional, as I can't add music, download large apps, etc. Please help!
Nothing happens, I only get the pop up window about transferring pics, so it obviously recognizes the plug-in, but in iTunes, nothing happens, my iPhione doesn't appear on the left side, so I can't snyc it:(

I recently lost all of the music from my laptop's hard drive, and therefore from i-Tunes. I still have all of my music on my iPhone (3GS) (and a smaller version on my iPod Touch (3)), however when I try to sync them iTunes says the devices are synced with another computer & the only options I have is to erase the iPhone/iPod & sync with the very little music that has been able to be recovered back into iTunes, or to transfer the purchases. I have checked the computer is authorised for my iTunes account, and have transferred the purchases back. I really don't want to have to reload my CDs on when they are all on other devices.
Does anyone know why iTunes is suddenly not recognising devices it did previously, and how I get it to recognise them again? And most importantly, how I can transfer the music on my iPhone/iPod back into the laptop's iTunes?The music was accidentally deleted as I was cleaning up my SafeSync account (like a Cloud) & I unwittingly deleted My Documents & My Music from my hard drive as I did so - these are the only files that were affected. So no catastrophic issue apart from me not knowing what I'm doing.
And IT guy performed a recovery for me but was only able to retrieve about 10% of my documents and only 45 songs of the 1700 or so I had. There is no up to date back up of my computer - trust me I've learnt a lesson there.
Since then iTunes doesn't recognise my devices as being synced to that computer, but there is no other computer for them to be synced to so I don't understand how this happened or how to fix it. I understand that my devices aren't back ups, but it seems stupid to lose the 1700 songs I have on my iPhone. I have transferred the purchases, but the majority of them are songs I've loaded from CDs & obviously it would be a very time consuming process to try to reload all of them - obviously something I would like to avoid if possible. -
my iphone 4 froze while syncing an update. i got it running by restoring it to original settings. i synced with computer but pictures wont come back. How do I get them?
When the restore finished, did you "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from backup?"
When was your last backup? -
How do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?
how do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?
Are you talking about photos that were synced to your phone? If so, the photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to extract these photos from your phone, you'll have to use third-party software to do so. Note: photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on your phone, there is no way to recover their full resolution.

Calendar on iPhone not syncing with calendar on computer or mobileme
I was just chatting with one of the mac support people and we were cut off. Lee had just made me do a manual sync of my calendar to have my computer calendar up to date (my Mobile Me calendar was the same as my computer one, so all was well there...).
How do I now get my iPhone to sync with my computer/mobile me? And vice versa?
This is very frustrating. I feel like it has to do with my iPhone upgrade, but I don't know for sure. All help is appreciated.You need to delete the old me.com calendar account, and ensure that Calendar is switched on in the iCloud account settings on your iPhone.

IPhone won't sync with computer.
Hello!
I've had my 3GS since launch and haven't experienced any problems with it yet. A few days ago, out of nowhere, my iPhone stopped syncing with my computer. When I plug the USB into the iPhone it rings, and shows that it's charging, but it doesn't sync in iTunes and iPhoto doesn't auto start like it used to.
I updated iTunes and OSX, but I still can't get my device to recognize!
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.If set to launch automatically when any digital camera is connected, iPhoto will launch automatically when the iPhone is connected only if there are photos and/or video available in the iPhone's camera roll.
Does iPhoto recognize your iPhone when manually launching iPhoto after your iPhone is connected?
Try downloading and re-installing the current iTunes version. No need to uninstall iTunes first before doing so.

Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?
You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
The iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
