IPhone 5 previously would not sync properly, now I updated to iTunes 11.1.3 and it won't show at all!
I've been having trouble getting my phone to sync. It's been a real pain... Previously, I deleted all the music off the phone and re-synced my library. I recently added some new music, and I was getting the same issue, so I tried my old trick, and it wouldn't remove the music properly. I reset the phone and the music remained (at least, it showed, but skipping through the songs, none of them played... so theoretically it removed the actual MUSIC while the song listings stayed in my 'music' app).
Poking around, I found suggestions that maybe updating to the new iTunes would fix the problem. I updated... and now, suddenly, my iPhone won't show up in iTunes at all! It was just connecting BEFORE the update, so it's definitely not the cable. I'm really not sure what to do now.
Currently restarting my computer to be sure that isn't part of the issue. Will report back, but can anyone help me in the meantime?
Edit:
Restarting the computer solved the problem of the device not showing in iTunes, but when it synced, the music was STILL messed up. Trying the remove and re-sync again.
Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.

Before I updated my iPad to ios7, I had the Nationwide Mobile Banking app. Once the update was completed, the app would not open properly. On advice I deleted the app, and now, when I try to reinstall it from iTunes app store, I get this 'no results found for natiowide mobile banking'. Why is this happening??
Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out. -
My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?
If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.
One person having a Photo Booth problem, although not the same one as you are having solved it by running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions. -
I tried syncing my Iphone4 apps on a "new" computer. I was told that the computer was not registered with iTunes and could not back up all the bought apps. When I went to check on the iPhone after this I noticed (have been blind not to) that almost all of my bought apps were missing. After I registered the "new" computer and sync'ed my apps nothing removed showed back up. How do I get these apps back?
I tried syncing on the "old" computer and all the apps were grayed out with some unchecked. Since they are grayed out I cannot unchecking and sync them.
The difference between the "new" and "old" computer is the OS. New has Win7 old is XP.An iPhone can only sync to one computer at a time. When you synced to the new one without first copying your iTunes library from the old one it deleted the apps because they were not on the new computer. You could have transferred them from the iPhone to the new computer before the first sync as described in the manual, but now it is too late for that.
Fortunately, you can redownload apps without having to pay for them again as long as the iTunes account is the same on the new computer as it was on the old. -
If I was to get a new iPhone what items would not sync?
My lock button randomly started becoming very hard to push down and it was responsive 1/4 of the time. I didn't drop it, it was sitting next to me on the table, I went to check the time and all of a sudden it was very hard to push down. It's an iPhone 4, I got it last June so I still have about a month left on warranty. Just in case apples resolution is to replace what do I need to worry about losing? Will my bookmarks off my Internet be synced? Or any info I have saved within an app?
My emails and contacts are all backed up to gmail so I'm not worried about that, just wondering about any other things I should worry about losing.Apple is not going to do anything to transfer content for you.
Manage your content yourself.
Delete them all, heck set up the new phone as a new phone for all we care.
If you backup the existing device via iTunes first, then sync and restore the new device from the backup just created, the new device will be an exact mirror of the old device. -

After installing the latest security and Safari updates (18 Sept 2013), Safari crashes and Chrome won't launch at all. Can I revert to a software state before this latest install?
The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
In your case these are:
x7e3000 - 0x7e3fff com.aladdinsys.mmenabler 7.1.0 (99) /Library/InputManagers/MagicMenuEnabler/MagicMenuEnabler.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ MagicMenuEnabler
0x7e7000 - 0x7e7fff com.yazsoft.SDEnhancer ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SpeedDownloadEnhancer
0x254a000 - 0x254dfff com.yazsoft.SDSafariBundle ??? (1.0) /Users/peterdignam/Library/InputManagers/SpeedDownload Enhancer/SpeedDownloadEnhancer.bundle/Contents/Resources/SDSafariBundle.bundle/ Contents/MacOS/SDSafariBundle
You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
Home/Library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally.
Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant. -
I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

Since I used ios my iphone now would not sync. So the songs from my computer would not transfer to my iphone, I kept getting " download 10.6.3 version " but this app is impossible to download. Please help... Any suggestions.
You don't provide much info on which version of iOS you started with, what iOS you updated to and what version of iTunes is on your computer. Be nice to know also if you are using a Mac or a pc to sync.
But I'll make a guess that you have a Mac and it has an older version of OSX on it. I'll also guess that you updated to iOS 6.1.3 and now find that iTunes on your Mac will not recognize your iPhone.
iOS 6.1.3 requires iTunes 10.7 or later.
iTunes 10.7 and later ( iTunes 11.0.1 is the cur recent version of iTunes) requires Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later. The latest version of OSX is 10.8.3.
If this is the case for you the only way you can sync with your computer is to upgrade your OSX to at least 10.6.8 and install iTunes 11.
Not all macs can update to OSX 10.6.8. -
Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.
Solutions?No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by. -

ThanksSettings, Mail Contacts and Calendars, Select the Gmail account, Select "Fetch new Data, and you can try changing the interval to PUSH. If that doesn't work, change the Fetch frequency to something shorter. It sounds like you have it set to manually.

After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Hi I've just synced my iPhone 5 to my dad's computer to get an album I downloaded on there and it wiped my phone of all of the music and now it will not allow me to get it back how do I get my songs back because every time I comes up with I have to wait 63 days to get it back
You might have better luck in the iPhone community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

Have you tried syncing the iPhone to your computer and restoring from the backup to see if you can get your other songs back? If you purchased the new album with your Apple ID, you should be able to download it to your computer to sync.
