Iphone auto synch issue?

When I connect my Iphone 4s to my Mac via wire Itunes does not open but another application (Photo Mechanic) does. How do I control this behavior? Thanks for your thoughts and help.

Hi bvonarx,
If iTunes isn't automatically opening when you connect your iPhone, you may find the following article helpful:

IPhone - bluetooth - synch issue

After the recent iPhone (4) update my bluetooth to the "synch" in my Ford Taurus will not stream music. The phone will work off and on, but no luck with streaming music. Is anyone else having this issue or know how to correct?

Update - just downloaded and installed "Sync" update from Ford. music streaming and phone via bluetooth are back.

IPhone 4s Synching Issue

I'm can't download my existing itunes library to an iphone 4s. I've hit every sync button, but I still end up only with the "Purchased" songs on the iphone. I have an ipod Classic, for which the sync worked. Could this be an issue with iCloud?

Iphone 5 synch Issue

I followed the directions on how to activate wifi (airport) sync with my iphone, but it wont activate
I have the Wifi on the Iphone turned on, and plugged into my mac, I hit the sync option and it syncs, but when I just take it
off the plug to try it wirelessly it won't sync (sync button is grayed).
Did I miss a step, or are there some settings I might need to look at?

Here are the wifi sync requirements (from the iPhone iOS 6 Manual). My guess is you didn't plug your iPhone in when trying to sync:
iTunes Wi-Fi Sync You can sync iPhone with iTunes on a computer that’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Enable iTunes Wi-Fi Sync: To set up Wi-Fi syncing for the first time, connect iPhone to the
computer that you want to sync with. For instructions see Syncing with iTunes on page 16.
After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPhone automatically syncs with iTunes once a day, when:
iPhone is connected to a power source,
iPhone and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and
iTunes on your computer is running.

IPhone Outlook calendar synch issue

My new iPhone does synch with my Outlook 2007 calendar, but only some, not all, of the calendar items actually are copied over to the phone. When I create an event on the phone, it does synch back to the computer.
Any idea what's happening here?

Similar, if not same, issue here, as no calendar items come across from the computer. While I run both OSX and PC, the phone uses wife's Dell running XP pro, and it's still no joy. Running latest OS and outlook patches, etc.
I would expect coders are still working on a fix...bought the phone expressly for this purpose--while the other features are great, until this is fixed, it's a rather large thorn.
If the definitive steps to a fix are arrived at, I am all ears...

Synching Issues with iphone 4/ itunes

When attempting to synch my iphone with itunes, the synch cannot progress past the "backing up" stage. Why?? Getting a bit frustrated now to be honest.
Every time I plug my phone into the computer, itunes informs me of the latest update required (4.3.5), but because of the synching issue, I obviously can't get the new update.
any help appreciated

"iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Guru's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."
The above is the error message I receive when trying to upgrade/ synch my iPhone with iTunes on my Laptop. I have the latest version of iTunes available (10.4.1)

HT1414 I have disabled the auto synch on connection of the IPhone5 and now ITunes will not show the iphone as available. How can I find the dialog that will give me control over backup's?

Where -on iTunes - can I find a control that will enable me to synch the Iphone.
The auto synch on attaching is turned off

There is no merge feature for itunes content, never was. Merge applies only to contacts and calendar entries.
The itunes content sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases
You can transfer the purchases from the iphone to itunes before you sync. File>Transfer Purchases

MS Outlook 2003 and Iphone 2G calendar synching issues

hi,
I have just recently (after a very long IPhone download) am having synch issues. Some of my appointments are on the Iphone but not seen on Outlook. I read something about a com add in but when I tried to check this and add, my outlook didn't have this option. I am very aggravated!!!! I am in sales and have many appts during the day and now I am afraid I am going to forget one if i don't check both phone and outlook.. Please help!!!!

This is causing alot of problems no idea what percentage of windows users sync'ing with Outlook this is effecting but a lot of unhappy campers out there.
For a constantly updating discussion on this try an independent site:
http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/myiphone_calendar_will_not_sync_with_outlook2007 Covers 2003 Outlook too. - (Scroll down to 16th July)
Apple although acknowledged the problem, now 2 weeks ago seem in no hurry to correct it, something to do with trying to sell MobileMe a cynic may say? Problem has mean't alot of businesses returning iphones, exchanging for Blackberries or just trying to revert back to their smartphones or ppc's.
This added to the problems of bluetooth handsfree kits not working with voicemail and 3G problems I suspect Apple are wishing they never released Firmware 2.0 and iTunes 7.7.
We are all hoping for a swift patch for this critical problem but then again we were doing that 2 weeks ago too... until then at least my XDA Orbit still works.
Repeating the appointment once so it is a reoccuring one day appointment has proved to work in the meantime - major pain though. I am testing Dionhall's fix at the moment, it sounds as if it is fixing the problem for most users. (See link above)

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.

Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

No Auto Synch

I have all of the latest software updates (system, iTunes, iPhone) but the iPhone will not auto synch with my Core 2 duo iMac. iTunes starts up when the phone is plugged in but there is no auto synch even though that option is checked in iTunes. I can synch by clicking the synch button in iTunes but it used to be automatic. I have turned off the iPhone to do a reboot but no change. Any ideas?

Found preferences that needed to be changed. Don't know how they were ever changed.........

Iphone 4 synch with itouch 2g on same PC using iTunes 9.21 but it is trying

iphone 4 synch with itouch 2g on same PC using
iTune 9.2.1.. somehow all of the iTouch apps [2G 32GB] is trying to install into the new iPhone 4. How do I prevent it... it keeps saying sync in Progress and I am not sure if I should remove it from iTunes.. since I am afraid it might remove it from the iTouch when I connect it back. I thought iTunes would regard both devices as being distinct and not sharing the same iTunes folder??? I just set up iPhone 4 as a new device in iTunes 9.2.1 and I had synch iTouch 2G before on the same PC.. now it is trying to copy everything from the iTouch to the iphone... I tried everything but it is still trying to do this

Thanks, but I don't think that the shared libary feature in iTunes creates actual shares, does it? I have my own library shared but I don't see any shares showing up in Computer Management.
I don't think it's applicable, but in this case the "Bill" account actually has administrator-level access on most computers on the network, while "Steve" has limited access.
I may not be remembering correctly, but it seems to me that "Bill" has accessed a couple of the missing libraries while previously on computer A. It really seems like there is something within my library that is blocking those libraries; maybe I had accessed them but then they were disconnected abruptly or something and now iTunes/Bonjour marks them as disconnected.
It's a minor issue, but at this point it has become frustrating enough that I really want to figure this out, but I'm running out of ideas...
Thanks.

IPhone 3G Synching - moving computers

So, i'm ditching the old & slow PC, and have bought a (PC) laptop.
No problem about transferring my library - that's all sorted. Unfortunately though, I can't get the iPhone to synch with the laptop. As i'm going to be throwing out the PC shortly, that's going to be a problem!
How do I stop the iPhone 3G synching with the PC, and get it to recognise the laptop as its 'home' machine? Would resetting the iphone help?
Andrew

Do the following & you'll be OK since you've moved your itunes library:
First, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, under preferences in itunes, which in windows is in the edit menu.
Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC.
Next, go up to Store>Authorize this computer.
Next, File>Transfer Purchases.
Next, make sure you have at least one contact & one event in whatever supported program you use for that purpose. They can be fake, it doesn't matter.
Right click the phone in the device pane & select "Reset Warnings".
Next, right click again & select BACKUP.
Next, restore your phone from the backup you just made.
This must be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content. Which is selected from the various tabs. You should get a prompt regarding your contacts & calendar asking to "merge" or "replace", when you sync. Select "merge"
This is what's included in the backup you'll make & restore from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
This is how to restore from that backup, as already referenced, when prompted to create another backup before you restore, decline as we will use the backup we made when we started:

Synch issue with icloud

Hello,
I have upgraded to iOS5 last week (iphone4).
I have activated iCloud and chose to synch everything except mails and notes.
When I go to iCloud.com from my computer, I have :
- only 4 contacts in "contacts" while I have 300+ in my iphone
- nothing in calendar, while I have a lot in my iphone
- no "photostream" link, so I don't know how to see my pictures in iCloud.com
I have connected my iPhone to personnal wi-fi and to power during many days.
How can I solve this synch issue ?
Thx
Adrien

If you mean that a new reminder entered on one device doesn't show up on other devices then check that
1) The other devices are logged into the same icloud account and have reminders turned on (settings>icloud), and
2) that the remider is in the "icloud" group, and not in the "on my ipod" or whatever group.
