Iphone 6 plus backing up but not syncing...

I know I know.... Backing up and syncing used to work like a breeze but now... I don't know backup works fines so from that we should deduce that wifi and connection to phone/mac are fine.... but it just will not sync. Not on WIFI not on cable nothing nowt. Any help. Tried the usual reboots both side. Forgetting WIFI network on mac and iPhone and trying to resync. nowt nothing.
I usually browse the app store on the mac as its so much easier than the iPhone and then sync em up. This will not work now.
Any ideas but great!

Hey Nat82,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting steps if your device unexpectedly disconnects from the computer during syncing:

  • IPod touch 4th gen will back-up but not sync?

    Apple had me reinstall iTunes twice and it didn't work. I deleted iPod and then reconnected and got it to back-up but an error comes up in 5 (1-5) when backing up) that says,"iPod can not be synced. The required file cannot be found." 
    Would uninstalling iTunes and all the components help? Maybe some didn't load right when Apple had be take out and re-install. There are more components than just iTunes to delete so all of you need to look up in Apple support.
    Any ideas? I am running Windows 7 on my laptop but the funny thing is my old desktop with Windows XP will back-up and sync it as I just tried it.

    Try the following one at a time
    - Delete the iPod Photo Cache folder. For its location see:
    iTunes: Photo sync creates iPod Photo Cache folder
    - Move the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one. For its location see:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
    After a successful sync, you can delete that backup.

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

  • ITunes could not back up the iPhone because the back-up could not be saved

    I updated my 3GS to the 4os software and after the sync was complete All seemed okay but I am not able to use my camera nor am I able to access my photos on my iphone. It says "updating library" and then closed out of the application. I just tried to sync my phone again (A week later) and I get an error message: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the back-up could not be saved on the computer" I have 200GB free space on my hard drive so I know it is not a memory issue. Is this the same issue everyone is experiencing?
    Is this an iPhone issue or an iTunes issue?
    Any suggestions to get this to work?

    Hi!
    I had the same problem with my iPhone4, and I could resolve it thanks to some ideas that I took from Loopster77´s post.
    You have to delete the current iTunes backup directory on your computer, that is on PC:
    C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\<40 letters and numbers>
    being "xxxxxxxx" the username of the computer owner.
    What you have to delete is that "<40 letters and numbers>" directory.
    After that, your iTunes will be perfectly capable of doing the backup.
    I hope this will help you.

  • On iPod Touch, how can I view calendars but not sync them?

    I have thirteen years of calendar events in iCal on my desktop Mac, dating back to year 2000, divided between three calendars. A quite large amount of calendar data, admittedly. I sync to my iPod Touch via iCloud.  Problem is that, if I select "Sync All Events" in the Settings of the iPod, my iPod apparently constantly is trying to sync thirteen years, resulting in unbearably slow performance, with intolerably long lag before calendars "sync" and before new entries resolve. 
    Of course, if I select the alternative iPod Calendar Setting "Sync Events Six Months Back", my iPod performs swiftly, efficiently... after all, it's not like I'm editing old events from years ago. However, by doing so, events older than 6 months cannot be viewed on the iPod Touch.
    I suppose most people aren't concerned with preserving older calendar events in a viewable form, but I have need to do so on my iPod Touch. I don't need to spend unbelievable amount of waiting time while my iPod processes (i.e., "syncs") all my old calendar events ; I simply wish to be able to see the darn things! So, how do I maintain fast performance AND ability to view all my calendar events quickly?
    I hope this makes sense. If anyone has an idea how I can achieve this, I will be greatly appreciative. Obviously, on my desktop Mac I have no problem viewing any date in iCal that I choose to view. On my iPod, though, can I set up separate calendar in which I can store but not sync the older calendar stuff? Or, do I need some separate app to preserve and view my older calendars?
    Thanks.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?

    How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?

    I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
    This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
    "iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
    Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
    I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.
