IPhone 5 not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3
My iPhone 5 (version iOS 6.1.4) is not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3 ?
When I plug my iPhone 5 into my Mac Pro (version OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3) the iPhone 5 syncs with iPhoto but not iTunes ?
The phone 5 is being charged via the USB cable into the Mac Pro, I can import photos via iPhoto from the iPhone 5, but I can not get iTunes to sync with the iPhone.
I have gone through all the steps in the "iPhone not appearing in iTunes" support assistant link with no luck:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
I finally got iTunes to sync with my iPhone 5
I followed the step by step instructions in this archived support article:
Archived - Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If the issue remains, try these steps:
Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash. (This will not remove any of your iTunes media or your iTunes library.)
Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/Extensions
Click Go.
Locate the file "AppleMobileDevice.kext" and drag it to the Trash.
Restart the Mac.
In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
Click Go.
Locate the folder "MobileDevice.framework" and drag it to the Trash.
In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
Click Go.
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
Restart the Mac.
Download iTunes and reinstall it. Test to see if the issue persists. Then, restart your Mac a final time to confirm issue is still resolved.

HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up
iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything
I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!
"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data. -
The apps on my iphone will not sync with iTunes. Process just skips steps 3 and 5. Any suggestions
Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with? Is the computer authorized for that account?

My iPhone does not sync with iTunes
Since updating the software on my iPhone iOS 7.0.4, it will not sync with iTunes (ver 11.1.3) on my laptop. I can deselect and re-select podcast, music, audiobooks, etc. then sync. iTunes will act like it is synce (going through 6 steps) but nothing is transferred to my phone. Does does not matter what combination I used or how many time I try to sync and apply changes. Even if I change nothing and sync the phone, nothing appears on the phone was the sync is complete. This has been extremely frustrating.
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. -
HT2305 my iphone will not sync with itunes

To add to the above, I just upgraded my iTunes to 10.6.x to take advantage of iCloud. It was working before.

I just got an iphone 4s. My iphone will not sync with itunes
My phone will not sync with itunes without 10.6.3 itunes which is not compatible with the software that is currently on my mac book. However, My mac does not have a software update available. HELP
It would help if you told us which version system software you have on your Macbook and which version of iTunes and what system requirements say on the side of the phone's box you actually need.

IPhone 4S not syncing with iTunes 10.7 Asking to restore
I have had my iPhone 4S for about two years, and for a long while now it has been unable to sync with iTunes. My iPhone has the latest iOS, btw, and my iTunes is also up to date.
When I plug my phone into my MacBook Pro, iTunes says that it does not recognize the device and would like me to restore it back to factory settings.
I would like to just restore it, but I do not have any backups for it on my computer. I would like to back it up first, but nowhere in iTunes does it give me the option to back it up at all. iTunes only shows the "summary" tab and does not let me see other lists (music, photos, tv shows, videos, etc). My iPhone, however, syncs fine with iPhoto and uploads my photos/videos with no problem.
Recently, the apps on my phone have been crashing. Aside from contacts, messages, and 70 photos as well as 22 videos, I do not have any other data on it. I do not have any music, and the only apps I have are Instagram and Snapchat aside from the apps that come with the phone. Under usage, it says that I have 14GB capacity and only 2.3GB available. I'm not really sure why 11GB of space is occupied because I don't have very much on my phone. But anyway, because my apps keep crashing, I wanted to factory restore my phone and just add back my messages, contacts, and my photos/videos. However, iTunes will not allow me to back up my phone.
I have tried using external apps for backing up (ex: iExplorer), and apps like iExplorer allow you to save files from your phone perfectly fine, but do not allow you to put them back onto your phone. It is just a way of externally saving your stuff onto your computer. (If anyone knows of an app that I can use to actually back up my phone, I would appreciate it! Assuming that iTunes does not come through...)
I was told a while back (when iOS 6 was released) that with iOS 6, my phone would no longer sync with iTunes because it would now be done through iCloud, but the 5GB of space on my iCloud is not enough to back up what is on my phone, so I have avoided using iCloud for a long time. I was also told that my iTunes may not be up to date enough in order to recognize my phone, but my iTunes is updated and still no success.
I have literally tried everything. I have read every forum on the internet (or at least, that's what it feels like!), and I have even gone into the Apple store (to which the lady said that my phone would no longer sync with iTunes, which I don't understand because I know people with iOS 6 and above who have had no issue syncing).
If anyone can provide some insight into my lengthy issue, I would really greatly appreciate it. I do not want to restore or change any settings until I am sure that I have my phone backed up in a way that can be retrieved and placed back.
Thanks!
PS, can I back up my messages and put them back on my phone? I think it's a yes, but I'm just curious.Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode. -
IPhone does not sync with iTunes
HI,
Since upgrading to Yosemite, my iPhone contacts do not sync with my iMac contacts over iCloud.
The iMac and iPad sync as usual. I don't see any difference in the sync settings for the iPhone and iPad in the summary or info sections on iTunes.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!Nevermind. The issue was apparently on one name. I deleted and re-entered it, and now everything seems to work normally.

New iphone does not sync with itunes
I got a new replacement iphone 5 as my previous one died. However, when I try to connect to itunes it doesn't recognise the new devise and I cannot sync with itunes. What can I do?
Hi, Yes the phone was synced with my old admin account on the same computer there seemed to be problems with that account (recognsing the printer, various glitches etc) so I opened another admin account on the same computer. Made the first account non administration and transfered all my stuff to the new one. Now the iphone wont sync with the new one.

My iPhone will not sync with iTunes update
With the last update my iPhone will not sync.
I, too, updated to ios 7.0.6 and immediately couldn't synch music to my iPhone. I erased the phone twice and ended up in a loop and couldn't even boot, just the Apple logo over and over. This worked for me:
Hold down the home button (on the front) simultaneously with the button on the top. After 10-15 seconds the Apple log appears again and loads IOS slowly. Once was loaded, my music was back. Annoyingly, it only seems to update from the cloud.
At least my iPhone works now.
I can't believe Apple didn't catch this before they screwed up their customers. -
After upgrading to a new iMac 27 my iPhone does not sync with iTunes
After having the Apple Store migrate all my data and programs from an older iMac to a new iMac 27" my iPhone does not sync. After connecting the phone it begins and goes to about steps 3 or 4 and then the "apple" appears indicating it is finished - however new pictures have not been transferred to the phone and updates for apps have not happened. Any ideas?
Your music/movies, etc will only be where you put them.
Copy everything fom your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one -
IPhone will not sync with iTunes
Ladies and Gents,
I am having trouble syncing my iPhone with iTunes. A message stating that a "sync session could not be started" appears. Also when I try and check or uncheck boxes in the summary tab they go back to whatever they were before. When I do get it to try and sync the contacts, iTunes it freezes...
This is the same with my old iPhone video, it will freeze iTunes because it wants to sync contacts for some reason, even if i try to uncheck the box.
I have restored both devices as well as re-installed iTunes.
Is this a bug in the new version of iTunes? Is anyone else having problems?
Thanks!One thing to try is to reset your computer's sync history. Open iSync in your applications folder. Go to the iSync menu -> Preferences. Click the "Reset Sync History" button in the "Advanced" section.

Iphone will not sync with iTunes!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
My iphone has always synced up with my macbook no problem but recently when I plug it in and walk away I come back and the sync bar is half full
and will not go any further. I have tried turing off airport and restarting the phone and comp but nothing seems to work. I have all the most current
versions of software and I don't know why it isn't working. Everything I have read on other forums does not help either. Who can solve this
problem???
I am tired of dealing with this.
Please help..Thank you.nicholasfromfrederick wrote:
I feel that since it worked before with no problem I shouldn't need to disable anything on my mac.
No one suggested "disabling everything" on your Mac, just security apps. The fact that it worked before means nothing - these apps update themselves frequently and what's on your Mac today isn't the same, Also, updates to the iOS and iTunes make a difference.
The problem could be in the phone. Has your phone EVER been jailbroken or hacked to downgrade the iOS or unlock? Did you try resetting (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears)?
