'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.

    You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

    All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
    Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
    Good luck

  • The iPod can not be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to.

    I try several time to send my song list from libraly to iPod. But it's show me that " The iPod can not be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to. "
    About this problem i try to do manythings follow some reply for advice me. but i still got problem. and i try to check something in my PC and found something wrong. i go to properties of disk drive and go to hard ware that show me all hard drive i have include Apple iPod USB Device. i go to properties for check it and see
    Device status :
    No driver are installed for this device
    Device usage :
    Use this device (enable)
    i'm not sure that because of this problem? if yes, how to do? because i do manythings such as use 5 R's and program reset utility. But i still got this problem. Help me plz.

    Sorry to see your having these issues Jihant. Posted below I have some links that may assist you with your troubleshooting steps.
    One of the first things you may want to look at is
    1. Download and Install latest iTunes Software. You should have iTunes 7.2
    2. You stated earlier you did the 5 Rs. So you have done a Reset and Restore. I would give it one more shot after you upgraded iTunes as needed.
    If this still does not resolve the issue. Try copying songs over 1 at a time. Do not copy over a playlist. Then try a new play list all together. Create a new playlist.
    You can also take a CD you may have and put import songs into iTunes then see if those songs will copy over.
    You may also create a new user and open up iTunes in a new user and import a cd with some songs and see if the same issue occurs.
    You can also try
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    And if this still does not work for you. You may want to try another computer.
    or if the above article does not resolve the issue

    If this still occurs please call Apple for further assistance

    Hello, osbybass. 
    Thank you for the question.  This alert can mean that iTunes is recognizing applications on the iPad purchased by another Apple ID.  If anyone in your household has an Apple ID, try authorizing the computer with their Apple ID and attempt to sync.  If you are still experiencing issues, go through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.

  • The ipod could not be sync because the ipod could not be found on the network

Anyone know  how to correct this problem?

    Are yo set up to sync via USB vice wifi?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port and cable
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs.  Just got the iPhone.  If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will all  my music automatically transfer to the new phone, or will I lose everything?

    I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs.  Just got the iPhone.  If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will I lose my songs or will they automatically sync to my phone.

    When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres.  See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

    Ah, it has been mentioned daily esp since iOS 5 / iTunes 10.5 but has always been there as an issue.
    Order of attempts:
    Repair the installers
    Uninstall EVERY Apple component (auto and manual)
    Services: Restart all 3 Apple items (AMS, Bonjour, iPod)
    I* always do the last almost, then launch iTunes, and only then connect iPod.
    IF you see a yellow alert in Devices and Printers or in Device Manager, then I could find NO WAY to fix or repair other than a clean OS. Something messed up the device driver support.
    If/when Windows asks "what to do when it detects iPod"? don't chose any default action, to me, based on hunch and 3 PCs, that seems to mess AMS up for some reason.
    Tried with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and Home Premium, and also Deve Preview 8 (which other than the inability to update iOS to 5.0 seems to run better -- except when it comes to AMS thing! so seems Apple is not on the same page writitng drivers.

  • How to setup a specific calendar in iCal not to sync events from iphone S to other apple devices?

    In iCal, multiple calendars can be setup.  For example,  I have 3 different calendars in iCal.  I would like the events in calendar 1 and 2 to b synced with my Mac Pro, iPhone S and iPad. I do not want the events in calendar 3 to be synced from my iPhone S to the Mac Pro and iPad. How can this be set up?

    Hi ChrisJC,
    To get the specific calendar folder (non-default folder), please refer to this code below:
    Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim MyItemsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim myAppoint As Outlook.AppointmentItem
    Set oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set MyItemsFolder = oNS.Folders("[email protected]").Folders.Item("Calendar")
    Then you could add appointment item by using
    Items.Add method.
    Set myAppoint = MyItemsFolder.Items.Add(olAppointmentItem)

  • Macbook & iTunes Will Not See, Sync or Charge iPhones

    After months of no real problems, my Macbook (OS X 10.4.11) and iTunes (9.03(15)) refuse to recognize my iPhone or my wife's iPhone. No sync, no charge, nothing in the Finder window. One time it did recognize my iPhone but then gave an error message that iTunes could not write to my iPhone, and told me to restore my iPhone to its factory settings.
    My Macbook and iTunes recognize other iPods just fine. Why not my iPhones?
    Other computers recognize the iPhones just fine, so it doesn't seem there is a problem with my iPhones. As a result, I don't want to restore the iPhones to the factory settings and go thru the awful experience that was setting up my email accounts and other information the first time.
    I have tried:
    Swapping USB cables and ports
    Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPhones
    Quitting and restarting iTunes
    Restarting the Macbook
    Restarting the iPhones
    This first happened yesterday, I restarted the Macbook and then my iPhone synced and charged OK. But now today the problem has recurred, and none of the above have been successful.
    Help!!!!!

    Thanks for the suggestion to reinstall iTunes without uninstalling the existing version. That seems to have worked.
    I do wonder about your snarky comment about my not being very anxious to solve the problem. I spent several hours trying to fix this and other errors encountered that day, which started with what should have been a simple enough process of moving an iTunes library from one computer to another.
    I had written that based on the facts, I did not think that the problem could be with the iPhones and therefore didn't want to restore the iPhones to factory settings and go thru the pain of setting up email accounts all over again.
    The fact that you suggested an alternative, and the fact that the alternative worked, proves the point that it was both logical and correct to continue looking for an alternative other than messing around with the iPhones. So I'm not sure why that comment was made.
    Anyway, thanks again for the suggested remedy.
