  • IPhone 5 will not connect to brand new MBA/iTunes. Error message is "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device."

    Hi!
    I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
    MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
    Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
    I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
    HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!

    I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
    Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

  • "The iPhone (iPhone name) could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset".

    This started yesterday at about 10:30am California time and hasn't stopped or been fixed. Whenever I sync or try to backup my iPhone 5 it goes through the process but right when it's about to finish backing up it gives me an error message that says "The iPhone (iPhone name) could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset"
    I have tried using a different USB cable, using a different port on my macbook, restarting both my phone and my computer. And nothing works and I have search through about every search engine and this problem isn't to be found anywhere online. Posting my problem and calling Apple support are my last options. Also I am still running on iOS 6.1.4 and have not updated to iOS7 because I want to be able to have an up-to-date backup file in case anything goes wrong. And I don't want to restore a backup because my last actual backup is from a couple months ago. But another thing I don't quite understand is that even though that message comes up, a couples minutes later my iPhone's summary says the last backup was the current time like it actually DID back it up. So my question is if the error message says that it can't be synced then why does it show that it actually did backup? Please help because I really would like to get rid of this problem so I could backup and sync to update to iOS7.

    Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?

    Hi,
    I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade.  Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
    As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
    I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
    I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone.  I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration.  Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password.  Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app.  All backup and integrated.
    Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup.  I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up.  It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
    A good nights work.  Backup and integration all sewed up.  Good luck.
    Cheers
    Ian

  • HT1695 IPhone 4 could not capture remote Wi-Fi but can capture the network from close range to Ataatjos meter

    IPhone 4 could not capture remote Wi-Fi but can capture the network from close range to Ataatjos meter

    I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
    However to my disappointment,  landed back at the same status which says
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    Please try again later, or contact customer care
    I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
    The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.
    Guys ... Need the data desperately ... Can anybody please help???

    Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me.  My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).

  • TS1347 Dear apple, The governments of Saudi Arabia has changed its weekend from THR&FRI to FRI&SAT, Therefore the start day of the week became SUN. unfortunately all Iphone user could not adjust this change on their I phones . So will you  please facilita

    Dear apple,
    The governments of Saudi Arabia has changed its weekend from THR&FRI to FRI&SAT,
    Therefore the start day of the week became SUN. unfortunately all Iphone user could not adjust this change on their I phones .
    So will you  please facilitate us on this matter.
    Regards

    Give apple feedback regarding this.
    For a temporary fix, change your region? Get a 3rd party Calendar app that fits your needs?
    I assume your current region is set in the photo?
    If so, pick a region that has a start day of Sunday. (either historically or known for the present)
    Note, with changing your region, it will change the default phone number prefix/country code for new contacts and addresses. (calling and SMS is not affected)

  • 'iPhone 5 could not be synced as it iPhone could not be found on network'?

    Just set up iPhone 5 today - connected via cable to computer to get things up and running. All is fine except when I try to sync the phone over my home wi-fi network (which the phone is happily using to do all sorts of other things) I get the following pop up window in iTunes - 'iPhone 5 could not be synced as the iPhone could not be found on network'. So am a bit confused as to what to do get this to work.
    Any suggestions you clever people?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem after installing iTunes 11.1.4.62.  i cant believe there is no answer for this.  Worked fine old version iTunes.  I plug it in with cable, it sees it and some times it even syncs and sometimes it just drops the connection to iTunes and tells me phone cannot be found yet it is still connected and I see the Appli iPhone Drive  on the File Explorer.  I have been fighting this all morning.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  I did not save the old version in my downloads so guess i am out of luck.  If you have any ideas i would appreciate you help.  I am so dang frustrated.  I connect iPhone 5 to the cable and instantly recognizes it and I sell SN number and all.  Yet if try to backup it drops the phone or just sits there.  HELP PLEASE.
