IPhone 5 failed to sync with iTunes

I am trying to sync apps in iTune (purchased previously for my iPhone 3GS) to my iPhone 5.  However the iPhone 5 could not sync apps
and music. It did sync notes, calendar, and contacts.  What should I do?

Update iTunes to newest version.
If this did not solve.
Try different cable, and different usb port.

  • HT1386 iPhone 4S failing to sync with iTunes 10.6.3 (25)

    I use an iPhone 4s with the most recent update, and iTunes 10.6 with the most recent update. Whenever I try to sync my iPhone now, it gives a message that says: "The iPhone '...' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. Is there any way to fix this?
    I'm also using a MacBook Pro with Lion installed.

    The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer".   There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
    However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone --  you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video.  So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
    Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

  • My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

    My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
    I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
    Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
    So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
    How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

    Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    Safari 4.0.3 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum.  The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.
