IPhone has stopped automatically syncing

My IPhone will not automatically sync when plugged into computer…the boxes are checked to automatically sync,
What has happened…

You may have to uninstall and reinstall it. All i did on vista is go to control panel, programs, find itunes, but not uninstall it. i clicked repair. Not sure if xp does that. After i repaired it. I plugged my phone in and itunes started automatically and synced. If you don't have the repair option uninstall it.

  • ITunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why

    iTunes has stopped automatically syncing new books placed in Library with open file. I have to drag the file to the device to get iTunes to sync the book. Why?
    Ever since version. 7 iTunes has stopped syncing checked books without dragging them to my iPad. all settings are correct.  I have set up 3 new devices and had to direct the new people to drag the books to their iPad. previous to ver. 7 this happened automaticlly just by syncling the device.  This issue isn't just on my computer but at least three others. books purchased from apple sync just fine. If is drag the book from the library ad drop it on the device it syncs fine.  What a pain if you have added several files now you either have to do the drag drop process for each one as you add it or try and remember which files you added the find them and do the process. 
    Thanks

    Hello BBWEST11,
    This may be due to iTunes 11 being set to manually manage content on devices by default.
    By default, iTunes 11 and later is set to manually manage your content on your device. Manually managing your device allows you to choose the content you want to have with you.

  • Why has my iPhone 4s stopped automatically syncing?

    My older iPhone used to sync automatically to my desktop whenever I plugged it in to charge, but for some reason, probably simple, it doesn't anymore...any thoughts.  I'm not a techie, but can handle the basics... Thanks, Tom

  • I need to stop iphone photos from automatically syncing to my facebook.

    IPhone photos don't automatically sync to Facebook. 
    However, you may have allowed your Facebook photos to sync into your phone's photo app.
    If you don't want the Facebook photos to appear in your photo albums, turn off the option to sync Facebook photos.

  • My iPhone has stopped syncing - Why?

    My iPhone has stopped sybcing with my laptop - can anyone tell me why?  Also app downloads are very slow and some times non existent.  Can anyone tell me why?  I am not hugely tech savvy

    I wish there was an iOS forum, burt as it is you have iTunes + iOS 5.01 + iPhone + Mac Pro
    Before contacts were duplicated along with photos (photo stream) and mixing contacts all under Apple ID. Apple ID + iTunes + iCloud are another hot issue.
    I'd look really at the forum and support articles under iCloud, there again there is one for iOS devices, one for "on my (Mac/PC) and just iCloud Community.

    One step forward, sideways, and at least didn't take two full giant steps backward! I suppose
    And maybe the "cloud" is synching itself as well across multiple servers and streams.

  • Three months ago,photos I shot on my iphone 4 stopped automatically downloading onto my pc. Have not touched settings. Why?

    Three months ago,photos I shot on my iphone 4 stopped automatically downloading onto my pc into the Photostream folder.
    Have not touched settings. Why?

    If you changed the default folder for photo stream photos you might want to uncheck photo stream on the icloud control panel, then recheck it without changing the default location then take a new photo on your device and see if it syncs now.  (Some users have reported problems when they changed the default location.)

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • "An iPhone has previously been synced with this computer ..."

    Hi
    I synced my iPhone 3GS on my PC (running Vista) yesterday, and it dropped a couple of error messages (-46 being one). No problems, I thought, I'll try again. Still failed. Unplugged everything, try again - now says "An iPhone has previously been synced with this computer, set up as new iPhone or Restore from backup".
    This is a huge problem - my PC and IPhone combo don't like each other, and the last time I tried to upgrade the firmware it failed and forced me to restore which also failed. The only way I could get my iPhone back was to use another PC which was running XP. Consequently there is no way I am restoring my phone off my main PC (as it won't work), and I don't want to set up as new phone, as I'll presumably lose all my data (messages, notes, voice memos, etc). I plan to back up the phone on my laptop, just in case, and I've made copies of the backups on my main PC, but any ideas how I can make my PC realise that it actually already knows my phone?
    We do have two iphones which we sync on this PC, and it's never played up like this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Allan, thanks for your reply! Thanks also for the link.
    I did look to do what you suggested, but unfortunately the only option it gives me now on right-click is "eject" (both on PC, which is what I sync with and also my laptop, which has met this phone once before). My phone seems to be telling the computers that it's a virgin new phone, rather than one I've been using for several months.
    I'm just hoping that the last backup on iTunes for my phone is complete - ie not corrupted during the last sync that appears to have corrupted my phone. At some point I will have to bite the bullet and let it restore from backup. Can I copy the backup files from my PC to my laptop ?
    Cheers,
    Bernie

  • Can an iPad 2 be synced on a MAC book Pro when an iPhone has already been synced to it?

  • "An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer" error on sync

    I recently resurrected an old original iPhone to use as an iPod touch (no phone contract) and started syncing it to my home Mac Mini, which is where I sync nearly all of my iPhone 3G data from. I can't honestly say which was the last iPhone to successfully sync, but I just docked my iPhone 3G for the first time in a few weeks and got an error, "An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer". It's only allowing me to either set it up as a new phone, or to restore from either my 2G or 3G iPhone backup.
    I don't want to restore; I've added a load of apps, notes, photos, etc since the last archive on that Mac Mini.
    NOTE: This home Mac Mini syncs all the iPod content to my 3G. My MacBook Pro syncs the Pictures to the 3G. And all calendar/contact data is synced OTA (over the air).
    (I have been regularly syncing/backing up to my MacBook Pro while I've been on the road. So I do have a valid archive on that system.)
    I don't understand why I'm getting this error. It's almost as if I can't sync multiple iPhones to the same computer, but AFAIK that's not correct.
    I suppose I could move an archive from the MBP over to the Mini and restore from a valid archive, but that seems obtuse.
    What would cause this error? I can't update my music/tv/podcasts on here until I get this sorted out… bugger!
    thanks

It shouldn't matter that I did not sync my phone for a couple of weeks. I should still be able to sync the same phone to the same computer. This is obviously some kind of software glitch and I am looking for a solution.
    some advice from blacksheepia:
    I had been having issues with having good reception in a suburb within close proximity to Los Angeles. Called ATT and they were able to synchronize my phone while I am at home to a closer cell site and that has improved things a great deal. Also I was told that you should turn the phone off at a minimum of once a week and if possible more times to reset it and give it time to rest and cool off. The other thing I have discovered may be the actual way that the phone is constructed. Today I was using it at home in the same room and noticed the bars go down and come up when I changed how I held it. I thought their was no possible way that it could be that simple, but after changing the way I held it 5 times alternating from gripping my whole hand around the back with my palm and just finger gripping from the sides and making sure I was not blocking the back of the phone, well as much as possible, the results were that I had 4 to 5 bars of reception. Now this may seem crazy, but there is a possibility that this could be the cause of bad reception if the antenna is in the back shell of the phone and by blocking it with your palm you could interfere with the reception. Crazy I know, but I have heard of much crazier things with new phones and technology.

  • An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer

    When I start iTunes and select my iPhone device, I get the message: "An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer". It's the same phone that I have used on the same computer since I bought it. ITunes is giving me two options, neither of which is acceptable. One is to erase the whole thing and set up the phone as new and the other is to restore the phone from a backup. I don't want to lose all of the data I have acquired since the last backup. Please help. Using Mac Book Air iTunes 10.6.3.

  • " 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"  I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced without error and I am trying to sync with new laptop.

    " 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"  I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced previously on my mac mini without error. I am trying to sync my iPhone with new MacBook Pro.

    Modular77:  With respect the dialog on the iPhone 'XX items could not be synced.  See iTunes for more information.' , would you happen to know where to look in iTunes?  I looked in all the places that seemed logical to me. 
    I am, however, asking only for future reverence, as the initial sync which generated the error dialog was done via USB, and almost immediately after the USB sync, I ran a WiFi Sync—two in a row in fact—both initiated from the iPhone.  Both WiFi syncs completed successfully with no error dialog. 
    I then ran another USB sync initiated from iTunes on the Macintosh, as was the first sync which gave the error. This second USB sync also completed successfully with no errors.
    I think someone in this thread mentioned non-AppleStore products or DMR issues which I think could not have been an issue in my case, as I was running the sync to install updated Apps from the AppStore, and additionally had deleted some music and movie items to make sure there was room for the App updates. Nothing was added other than the recently downloaded App updates from the AppStore. 
    iPhone3GS  iOS 5.1.1 build 9B206. 
              Developer Profile enabled.  iCloud enabled.
              32 GB “disk.” About 1.5 GB free after sync.
              iPhone NOT jailbroken
    MacBook 13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008 (NOT Macbook Pro)
         Lion 10.4.7 build 11E53.  2 GB RAM.
    Thanks for any info or advice.  Problem IS now solved, but it absorbed a lot of time to reach that point.

  • T4i Rebel error message "movie recording has stopped automatically"

    I was recording my client when suddenly I got a this error message "movie recording has stopped automatically" and I could not record video anymore. I am recording on a class 10 sandisk Ultra card. 720/60, EFS18-135mm lens. Never had any problems in the past. First I get a small veterical meter on the frame and then after 5 secs the recording stops with this error message. Please tell me it is opeartor error...I have had this camera for 2 years now and never had a problem. I tried multiple cards.
    thanks for the help,
    DM

    Either you or the person you spoke to at Canon was confused.
    What the camera requires for video purposes is a card which is "at least" Class 6 or faster.  The class designation is an indicator of the cards data transfer speed.  Class 6 actually means the card is capable of transfering data (either reading or writing) at "at least" 6 megabytes per second.  A Class 10 card can transfer data at "at least" 10 megabytes per second.
    The T4i is also compatible with "UHS-1" cards... which are significantly faster than eithe Class 6 or 10.
    The reason for requiring "at least" Class 6 has to do with how fast the camera is attempting to capture and save frames of video to the card.  The camera actually has an internal memory buffer which is very fast.  When you start recording, the data is being saved to that buffer... and simultaneously the camera also starts taking the data from the buffer and saving it to the memory card (which is slower).  If the camera is recording video only slightly faster than the card can record, then it will actually take a few minutes before the buffer is completely filled.  But at that point the camera has no choice but to stop recording because it has absolutely no place to save data ... the internal buffer is full and it can't empty the buffer because the memory card can't save data as fast as new frames of video are coming in.
    Faster is always better.
    Memory cards do actually wear out and develop errors over time.  This is normal.  A good card will re-map the bad blocks so they aren't used anymore... and this is why you should do a low-level format IN CAMERA (not using the computer).  Good cards also have a "memory leveling" technology to try to use all the blocks roughly an equal number amount.   This extends the userful life of the card.
    When replacing the card, do not skimp on quality!  I cannot emphasize that point enough.  Most times when someone brings up this issue... it's the card that is having problems and not the camera.   
    It's easy to produce forgery cards which look like a good brand but are not.  Buy GOOD cards from REPUTABLE dealers.  Do not shop for the cheapest website on the Internet with a questionable reputation in order to save a couple of bucks.
    Lexar brand and SanDisk brand are good. 
    When buying memory cards, I only buy cards from Lexar and SanDisk.  I also buy their highest end cards (by speed performance... not necessarily their biggest capactiy cards).  I buy the cards from dealers with a solid reputation.  This avoids the unpleasant error messages which always seem to happen at the worst possible time.
