IPhone 6 will complete a sync w computer.

phone 6 plus will not sync. "waiting for changes" in display, continues to just spin. never syncing. what changes? how to solve this issue?nDo i restore phone?

Try restarting everything. Quit ITunes, reboot your computer, reset your iPad and then try it again. If you have another USB port on your computer, try that as well.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then let go of the buttons.

Iphone 3G will no longer sync with MacPro

my iphone 3G will now not sync. I get this: The iPhone "TM's iphone" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to.
Has anyone seen this? Is the "disk" the computer (MacPro 10.6.8 running latest itunes) or the iphone 3G 4.2.1 o.s.?
Thanks.

Hey Allan,
The funny thing is that I don't get that option on my mac in prefs.
I get it on my windows itunes (which is where I set-up my account and sync most things)
I use my mac purely to sync with ical for a back-up for my calander and address book.
Had no problem before a day or so ago?
thanks!

HT4623 since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync?

since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?

Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried.

IPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I download iOS 8.1.2

iPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I downloaded iOS 8.1.2 I get the message that it "failed to sync because the sync failed to start." Doesn't work with cable or over WiFi. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Before connecting your device to iTunes to sync, double-click the Home button, and close all open apps by sliding up on the thumbnails until all open apps are closed. Then try the sync again.

IPhone 4 will no longer sync music, hangs indefinitely

I hooked up my iPhone 4 the other night to my computer to update it to the new iOS version 4.3.1. The entire time my iTunes would continually freeze and I would have to force quit it. Once I finally got it to stabilize I began to install the update with seemingly no problem. Then out of no where my phone slipped into recovery mode and it told me to restore it so that it could sync with iTunes. When I tried to restore it I received an error code 9 and iTunes informed me that a restore could not be completed. I ended up having to take it to a friend's house and restore on his iTunes without a hitch. I then came home and restored a back up with no trouble at all and had 4.3.1 on my phone. All was well until I realized no music synced.
Now when I try to sync music, I press the sync button and all goes well to begin with. The back up proceeds as normal. It transfers an app purchase that needs to be made and then the problem starts when it hits the music step. It begins syncing a song and then instantly iTunes freezes. The spinning arrows next to the device name stop and no progress is made whatsoever. I lose any kind of control over iTunes. In order to get it back I have to force quit it and restart it or manually disconnect my iPhone from the computer which is as we all know not healthy for it. Cancelling the sync from the phone does nothing at first but then after 15 minutes or so iTunes frees up again but never actually finishes the sync. It's stuck finishing it indefinitely. (In the time it took me to type all of this out and check it for errors it is still finishing indefinitely)
I have tried:
1) Restarting Computer
2) Updating iTunes to the newest version
3) Completely uninstalling and reinstalling all components of iTunes and Quicktime according to instructions from an article on Apple's support pages.
4) Restoring the phone to a back up again to fix any possible corruption
5) Checking only one song and trying to sync it to see if it was an quantity issue
6) Manually syncing music
and probably others. Nothing seems to be working. I am unsure if it is an issue with the phone or with the computer and iTunes. I have not tried a complete just all out restore with no back up because I am hesitant to lose all my contacts, SMS messages, and pictures with their saved locations.
I'm out of ideas here so any support from you guys would be much appreciated. If this doesn't work I guess it's a $30 phone call to Apple Support.
Thanks in advance,
HSZ

Standard steps from the manual are to restart, reset, restore. which of those have you done?

HT1296 Events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer sync to my Outlook 2010 calendar - what's up?

Some change in iOS I suppose makes it so events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer populate my Outlook 2010 calendar when I sync the devices through iTunes. It used to be that events entered in each place would populate the other locationg when synced. No longer!
There are two calendars in iPhone now and I don't know why.
Can anyone help me find out what's going on?

Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

My Iphone 4 will not recognize my Dell computer.

The first day the IOS 7 came out, I downloaded it. This past weekend I put a lot of new songs on my library and now I wish to sync them on my Iphone. I can plug my Iphone into my computer and it will charge. When I unlock my Iphone it will ask me if I can trust my computer. Everytime I atempt syncing I have tried unpluging and pluginging it back in. It just asks me again. I went into my General settings, and to the part where it says "Sync over wifi". It says I need to connect my Iphone and nothing happens. It tells me the last time I synced it to the computer so I dont understand why it wont do anything. Is there something I missed? I have all the current softwears on both my Iphone and Itunes.

ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
Go to
Settings
Main, contacts etc.
scroll down to "Contacts"
under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
This solution worked for me!

IPhone 3GS will not fully sync with iTunes 9.2

Just installed iTunes 9.2 (twice) and I cannot complete a sync of my iPhone 3GS. It seemingly stalls at Contacts or Calendar (varies on each attempt). Prior to this, my syncs would be speedy fast (less than 5 minutes.
Any ideas of what I can do to fix?
Thanks in advance

I was sync'ing fine with iTunes version 9.1.2 and then I allowed Software Update to download and install 9.2.
Then iTunes downloaded iOS4 and did the install/restore process on the iPhone. Somewhere after that I get the message during the sync process "The iPhone (my name) cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified".
I deleted all the backups listed in iTunes, I unchecked the Sync box for everything so that the phone is basically empty, no Apps, music, movies.
It still won't sync.
Any ideas?
