IPhone 4S Will not sync after step 2 on iTunes.

Hey guys. I just purchased a new iPhone 4S, unlocked for T-Mobile and jailbroken. Everything is working fine until I tried to sync ringtones, apps, and photos on it. It will not get pass step 2. Once it hits step 3, which is "Determining apps to sync", it stops syncing entirely. I have no idea what's going on. My iPhone is backed up with my computer, not iCloud. I can sync music but not apps, ringtones, photos. I have re-installed iTunes and did a hard-reset on my iPhone. Still no luck. Any help please?

  • I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes.

    I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes. ITunes will recognize and sync up, but I now cannot manage my music on my phone. Also, all of my playlists on my iPhone were wiped out.  It would be great to retrieve my phone playlists, but more important, be able to manage my music again.  I'm running on Windows 7 and I own iPhone 5.  Suggestions?

    I have windows 8, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but i figured maybe 11.1.4 just doesn't like 8. soooo.. i went onto my computer settings and uninstalled anything and everything made my apple and then reinstalled itunes 11.1.3 and it now reads my ipod nano happy day thanks apple for making something that you can't help me with at all

  • My iPhone 5 will not sync as i need iTunes 10.7 but this will not download as i have OS 10.5.8

    My iPhone 5 will not sync as i need iTunes 10.7 but this will not download as i have OS 10.5.8

    You need to upgrade your OS to this:

    From there you upgrade iTunes, & you'll be able to sync your phone.

  • IPhone 3G will not sync after recent update to software

    I began a sync for my phone and new software was available and I allowed the update. Now my iPhone 3GS will not sync. continues to give an Unknown Error -39. What do I do?

    Thank you for the response, I have not tried a restore, won't that wipe out everything on the phone? Leaving on vacation and don't have time to start over, I'll have to try this after I get back if the next response does not solve the problem.

  • Iphone 4 will not sync after restore

    Iphone 4 will not sync via itunes via USB cable after restore.  Rebooted PC and iphone.  Latest version of itunes and iOS.  Device appears on left hand window, but the main window only shows the Apple logo, and empty white box, and a small LOCK symbol.  Other iphone and ipad still sync properly, but restored iphone will not.  Please help.

    I had the EXACT same thing and I have appeared to fix it thanks to Amand99:
    1) Make Sure you are running latest Itunes.
    2) Plug usb cord into computer with itunes on. DO NOT PLUG INTO PHONE.
    3) Do a hard shut down of your phone, where you hold the home and lock button and don't let go until the phone completely dies.
    4) Hold down home button for three seconds. DO NOT LET GO. While continuing to hold, plug chord into phone, connecting it to computer.  DO NOT LET GO. Hold for an additional five seconds.
    5) A window should appear in itunes saying that a phone is connected which needs a system restore. 
    6) Itunes should allow you to restore and update. 
    7) Now this was key for me because this might have been my mistake which originally caused this issue.  After the restore, Itunes shows the iPhone grey with a spinning wheel (like bofore).  I looked at the iPhone and it looked like it wanted me to go through the setup options. DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE.  Be Patient, iTunes will eventually recognize the phone and finally ask if you want to restore it.  Choose "restore from backup", and let iTunes do it's stuff.
    My iPhone is back, Baby!  <phew>

  • IPhone suddenly will not sync and locks up iTunes

    For a little over 2 weeks now, my iPhone will not sync properly with iTunes. I'll plug in my iPhone and it will instantly lock up iTunes, with the spinning rainbow and all. After awhile, iTunes will start working again, but will be extremely sluggish. If I try to sync the iPhone, it just does a neverending sync, and won't actually work. The phone will show up in iPhoto, but won't show up on my desktop. I've tried reinstalling iTunes over the current version, I've tried different USB ports, different USB cables ... I just cannot figure this out!! Help!

    The iPhone does not show up on your desktop regardless - even with manually manage music and video selected for your iPhone sync preferences. The iPhone does not support disk mode.
    You are connecting direct to a USB port on your Mac, and not via a USB hub - with connecting to an available USB port on your keyboard or monitor considered a hub?
    Does your Mac have USB 2.0 ports, or 1.1?
    Long shot for this particular problem, but as a first step, try reseting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application.
    After selecting Reset Sync History, restart your Mac and try again.
    Have you tried resetting your iPhone?

  • My iphone 4 will not sync after upgrading to ios7

    After upgrading my iphone 4 to ios7, I cannot sync with itunes. It either goes through 4 steps and then "canceling sync" or it hangs up on "waiting for files to transfer" and never gets past that.  I tried some suggestions in other support articles. I synced with itunes in safe mode. I reset the phone and did a restore. Nothing seems to help. I upgraded to 7.0.2 but no changes. Please Help!

    No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
    Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS   Just have a quick Google!
    Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
    Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

  • My iphone 4s will not sync past step 2

    I have my iPhone 4s and I am trying to sync it with my iTunes. When I plug it in it finds my device and starts the sync, but never goes past step 2 syncing contacts. I have even restored my phone to factory settings and still no further on the syncing! I am so frusterated. Anyone have any ideas or a similar problem?

  • My iPhone 5 will not sync any music from iTunes

    I have ios 7.0.3 (the most recent update) and the newest version of itunes, and have never had a problem like this before.  I am using the same computer I always do, which is authorized.
    Yesterday I attampted to add 100 songs, which were already on my itunes, to my iPhone; my phone responded by not accecpting the new songs and deleting over  2500 songs previously on it. These songs still show up in my music app but will not play, iTunes also says that they are on my phone.I have tried adding these songs back multiple ways, such as: manually dragging them to the right of the screen and onto my phone, using the "on this iphone" option and adding songs, the normal way to sync music via checking off the playlist, and by adding the music by album, but to no avail. Each time I try this the sync begins, showing that I have approximately 4 GB free with the added music, but ends quickly (within 7 syncing steps maximum, not including music syncing) saying that I have around 18 gigs of open space, but the titles of the music still show up as being on my device. My phone still claims that there are 2700 songs on it, but refuses to play a vast majority of them, A few times when I have tried syncing I recieved a message claiming that my phone could not finish the sync.
    Whatever is going on, I just want my music back as quickly and easily as possible.
    Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

    When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
    If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

  • Outlook will not sync after update to iTunes 10.7 and iOS6 on my phone

    I am pulling hair. On one of two PCs that were nicely syncing with Outlook and the iCloud for Calendar, Reminders and Notes (not Mail) data entered on the PC does not show up in iCloud or either my iPhone or iPad. I can update in the browser in iCloud and the updates quickly show up on my phone.
    Support and Instructions at Apple do not reflect all the chnages that iOS6 created. It is all a little more cryptic and vague than I can fiind solutions in.
    I must use Outlook. it is faster and more compact that a web bases sting of apps in iCloud and other work arounds like Google Calendar to share my calendars across four devices.
    One PC was just find. It is running WIndows 7 Home Premium and is 32 bit. WHen I opened iCloud Control Panel on this PC the thing asked me to set up a @me.com Apple ID. I already had one and have no idea what is was really being used for. I have never sent or recieved any mail with this. My Apply ID is or was a @gmail.com account. Even with makign this update the PC opened iCloud Control Panel and I have the option to select the 'mail, calendar, ...' box. That control panel shows my @gmail.com on the main panel with my name.
    One PC#2 that used to wrok just fine and across the devices, the iCloud control Panel does not show the option and has a link to icould.com to set the perferences. That has been done and checked. The control panel asks immediatedly on opening it for me to go to Windows's Programs and Features and run a change to repair iCloud. Done 10 times tonight. I close it all. Restart the PC#2 and this whole loop just goes on and on. This is a 64 bit machine and there is supposed to be a 64 bit iTunes installer. I don't know if it is critical to syncing these devices with Outlook but IT CAN NOT be found. Apples support says that a 64 bit installer is needed to install Itunes but the link that me to a downloa dpage that list the requirements and seems to clearly say that a 64 bit iTunes Installer is needed. I cannot find such a thing.
    SO, where is the 64 bit Installer for iTunes? Did a new version of iTunes change this requirement? since I was doing just fine before the update to 10.7 and iOS 6.
    More importantly, why will the Icloud Control Panel not find Outlooks 2007 ready to connect to?
    I read in a community note that there should be an @me.com email account in Outlook's data files and an iCloud pst folder. They are there.
    Must both machines and both deveices (iPad and iPhone) all use the same Apples ID and if so How to I get PC#2 to use my @gmail.com Apple ID?
    I'll even live with the @me.com or @icloud.com Apples ID. But if I do, must I change it in all the devices? I know this is recommended but the instructions also say these can be mixed. I think the PC #2 does not know what Apple ID to use or which one will match the server's ID for my account. But it could be something else I am missing here.

    If it makes you feel better, I'm having a similar problem on my iPhone 3Gs. I can't update apps through iTunes anymore. I can update most apps via my phone either wirelessly or over a 3G connection, but some apps are so big that I can only update them over a wireless connection. I'm wondering if there isn't some collusion going on between Apple and AT&T to hoodwink customers into updating apps over AT&T's wireless connection, thus significantly boosting phone data usage. I smell a class action lawsuit coming on if this isn't addressed quickly.

  • Iphone 4s will not sync purchased videos from itunes

    Unbeknownst to me, my iPhone deleted a purchased TV show (from iTunes) from the device (I don't know how it happened).  I went to sync it on iTunes and it would not put the videos back on the device.  I have tried this several times and even wiped the iPhone and started it fresh (not from a back up) and it still won't work.  Help please!
