Iphone no longer syncing with computer

I've had my Iphone 4 for several months and sync it daily with my computer.  For some reason the phone is no longer syncing with the computer.  There is no reason for this to happen so I was hoping someone could help me figure this out.
Thanks,
pamelafromolathe

What have you tried to fix it?
Have you rebooted your computer?
Have you verified you have the latest version of iTunes/iOS?
Have you rebooted phone (not just turn off and on, but the reset/reboot process which is not same as Restoring it)?

  • IPhone no longer syncs with computer--"Cannot access the iTunes store"

    My iPhone 2G has decided to no longer sync with my iTunes. I do not have internet on my computer (I'm doing this on a friend's), so when I connect my iPhone to my computer, an error message pops up that says "Cannot access the iTunes store". Since my iPhone is normally synced manually, I can still drag new files onto it; however, any movies/podcasts on the iPhone keep reappearing even after I've deleted them (from the iPhone itself). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Delete then re-install iTunes & Delete the following files:
    The iTunes application (located in /Applications)
    com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
    iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    then re-download the latest version of iTunes.

  • With Update 1.1.3  iPhone no longer syncs with iCal

    I run Leopard on a MacBook Pro. After upgrading my iPhone to 1.1.3, iCal and the calendar on iPhone no longer syncs, at all. I brought this to the NYC Soho Apple Store, but the genius couldn't figure it out. Only the two default calendars "Home" and "Work" synced, although not every time. Help! What should I do now? Enter events twice? Once in the iPhone, since that's what I take with me, and once on iCal, since when restoring iPhone settings that's what's used? Many thanks!

    I'm not sure I understand what the problem is -- first you said it doesn't sync at all, and then you said that your Home and Work calendars sync intermittently.
    Personally, I would do several things:
    1) Make sure you are not using Entourage -- and if you are, make sure all Sync functions are unchecked in preferences so that nothing is using Mac's sync services and copying back and forth.
    2) Print out your calendars (use month view) for the entire year so that you have a backup.
    3) Do you need to have separate calendars? I find it ridiculous personally to have work and home and entourage calendars, and combine them into one. It's all my calendar information anyway, and it goes with me everywhere, why would I want more than one calendar....anyway....not to get off on a tangent...
    If you can do without two calendars, combine them all into one (you export one of them, then import it back into the other one, then delete the one your exported and imported. You can do a search for the help topic on how to combine calendars.
    Rename the one combined calendar your name, rather than home or work. Sync your iPhone. On the Info tab, make sure that you have the calendar name selected (it will recognize the new name of your calendar. Also make sure you have the sync to: Your Name calendar selected.
    4) If that does not work, I would totally delete all of my calendars from iCal - and sync (to erase all the calendar information from your iPhone).
    5) Create a new calendar, and manually re-enter all your calendar information. Sync new information to your iPhone.
    In reality -- I have no idea why you are having problems -- I also have 1.1.3 on my iPhone, and I also sync with iCal. I haven't had any problems -- but then I only have the one calendar.

  • IPhone no longer syncing with iTunes

    I updated my iTunes to 9.2.1 and now, my iPhone can't sync with it. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting the usb cable (which is connected directly to the computer, a Mac Pro), but it never appears.
    There was one other change as well. When I first installed my new OS a few days ago, iTunes kept coming up on startup. I went into Login Items, and found that iTunes helper was there, as usual, but with a check mark to hide it. So I tried un-hiding by unchecking the box, this didn't seem to help at all either.
    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Im having issues too, My phone is shown in my devices like a camera and when i connect it it says that i need to delete itunes and reinstall. I found this info ,but I am working so I cant try it till the morning maybe it will work for you.

  • IPhone no longer syncing with Calendar

    Since I downloaded the latest iPhone update, my phone no longer syncs with my calendar. There is no error message. How can I fix this?

    ErinShephard,
    I do apologize I didn't catch that you are using iCal.
    Syncing with iCal it is one of a few possibilities. A conflict with the data in SyncServices, hence the Reset Sync History as the first thing to try.
    If it isn't a conflict in SyncServices it could be corrupted data on either the iPhone or in iCal.
    This thread has some suggestions that may help, by having you export your calendars, and then re-import them it causes the data in iCal to be rebuilt.

  • My iphone no longer syncs with outlook 2007

    My iphone suddenly no longer syncs with Outlook 2007.  I have checked the Outlook add-ins list.  I can find no solutions.  Apple phone support did not help, genius bar did nto help.  Any suggestions ??

    Is it everything that no longer syncs, or is it just one of the things, i.e. just calendar, contacts, notes? Many times as mentioned in the earlier post, it can be caused by a corrupt .pst file. Run the scanpst.exe application that resides in the Office folder. That will run a repair on the .pst file. Go into iTunes and reset the sync history and then try the sync again. If that doesn't help, it is possible there is a corrupt appointment in the calendar. That can cause a problem with syncing.
    Try those couple of hints and see if that helps. Come back if it doesn't and let us know some more specifics.

  • IPod no longer syncs with computer

    My iPod will no longer sync with my laptop. I keep getting the following message:
    "The iPod "JRT's iPod" cannot be syned. You do not have enough access privledges for this operation."
    Apple told me tht it was a problem with my Norton 360 software. I have since removed the software and the problem still persists.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with             
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Iphone no longer syncing with Outlook

    I have been syncing my Iphone5 to Outlook directly via USB with my PC laptop since the first iphone came out (2006?).  Over the years, this process has survived numerous operating system upgrades, hardware upgrades etc. As of yesterday, it is not syncing my calendar or contacts to Outlook.   (I get email from mail provider).
    I do not want to use the cloud as all my children back up to the icloud and I don't want all their contacts/calendar on my phone.  Maybe I am old fashioned, but I always like backing up with the USB guaranteed my PC data to my Iphone!
    What I have tried without luck:  (it says syncing, but changes nothing)
       - updated to latest version of Itunes
       - in itunes/ info --- click and unclick calendar/contact
       -  in itunes - reset sync log
       - restored an old iphone - would not sync either
       - ran SCANPST on my outlook file (was a bit of a mess) so created new PST file with only a few dates/contacts
       - in outlook - unselected all Add-ins.   then added back the Itunes add-in, iCloud and outlook change notifier
    Outlook 2010 version 14 (32-bit)

    HELP!!!

    I do not believe this. I have been going nuts trying everything as in prior posts, and this has been a problem for users at least since 2010. I had this problem a long time ago and didn't pay too much attention to it because it was my iPad, and I depended on my BB a a base calander to feed Outlook. I became very concerned within the past week when I switched my BB to iPhone 5s, and was carrying both because I still needed to carry the BB for new calander enteries to sync up to Outlook 2007.
    I had followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and delete the apple s/w and re-installed. But according to the previous post, it appears that the issue was in the data - which was not deleted during all these deinstalls nor overridden with the new installs.
    I am a XP user, so my files are in documents and settings/(username) both application data and \local settings\application data, but I also have safari and quicktime installed as well and didn't want to just blow entire high level folders if I didn't have to.
    So I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 then purged several apple folders in my windows profile and this definitely blew apple computer\preferences away. What I did was a little clumbsy, and desperate, but it worked. I am finally back in business.
    However, I would like to see someone fine tune this and determine if it was just the preferences folder that needed to be deleted so that iTunes needed to rebuild it, or if there were other filoes that were apparently corrupted away, just to get this to the minimum number of steps to fix the issue.
    BUT THANKS - This has been the most HELPFUL thread to get me syncing agai!!!!

  • IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

    For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
    Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

    It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
    In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
    To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
    I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

  • EDUCATION:  Updated to new iPad iOS - can no longer sync with computer

    I recently updated all of my class iPads (36) to the new iOS.
    Now I can no longer sync them with the ONLY computer they have ever been sync'd with.  I get a message that the iPad is "now associated" with another device (which it is NOT).  I have never used Absolute App Manager, etc, just used VPP to sync.
    HELP please.
    Thank you
    =(

    Hi KChanOHS,
    Hmmm… that is strange. Are you using the latest version of iTunes on your computer? If not, update it. Did you restore any backups from iCloud on any of these? Maybe with a different account?
    I would troubleshoot this iTunes similar to how I would troubleshoot Apple Configurator… on a Mac OS X computer I would confirm that I'm logged on to the computer (not just iTunes) with the same account used when I set up the iPads… I would check file and folder permissions in my home directory to make sure I had read/write access to everything under /Users/<yourusername>… maybe even run a permissions repair using Disk Utility to make sure everything with the OS is running properly… beyond that, I don't know what else to try. I'd be tempted to back everything up, wipe the iPads clean, and start over. I knot that's not a "good" option, but if I could no longer sync I'd be tempted to start over.
    On another note, we are coming up on summer vacation for students which is a good time to reevaluate processes and make changes. I often make a list of things I want to change with my deployment and implement them during school breaks. I recommend using Apple Configurator instead of iTunes to manage your classroom set of iPads. It is designed to manage multiple iPads whereas iTunes is more designed for a single user/device. Here are some links:

  • IWork on my iPhone no longer syncs with iCloud

    About two weeks ago, I noticed that my numbers documents stopped syncing with icloud. I would see the upload icon but nothing would actually happen. Edits I made on my phone wouldn't upload and documents I created on my mac wouldn't download. All other icloud functions work on my phone. My documents are making it to icloud without incident when I create or edit them on my mac.
    I've tried reseting my phone, doing a software restore, removing then reinstalling Numbers and Pages and updating both apps. Most recently, I updated to iOS 6. Nothing has worked. Is there anything that I can do short of setting ym iphone up as a new phone. I really don't want to do that and loose my message history and call data.
    thanks

  • My iPhone Won't Sync with computer. It used to; but it doesn't now. I don't have iCloud. When I try to sync I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone "owner's name appears here iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on compute

    Why won't my iPhone sync with my computer? When I hook the phone up to iTunes I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer. This never happened before.

    Hey Janice Lucoff,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

  • IPhone won't sync with computer, get error (-50) message. Also getting requests to sync when I open iTunes. I have 2 iTunes id's apparently. Can I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 4S,7.1.1,  and my MacBook Pro is still running 10.6.8, waiting to update to Mavericks as soon as I have some down time. My phone won't sync with my computer. I am getting an error message (-50). ITunes is also asking me if I want to sync my Podcasts, etc. with my computer when I first open it. I am assuming part of the issue is that I have 2 Apple ID's. One for my computer (this one), and another for my phone and iPad. Can I merge these identities? It this my problem or is there an incompatability between 10.6.8 and the new 7.1.1 OS on my phone?

  • Iphone will not sync with computer

    to my knowledge my iphone versions are up to date
    I recently downloaded some ringtones from my phone,
    today I go to sync with my computer/ itunes page and nothing happens
    can't even get to my itunes page
    Help..

    Yes, I read those posts, but it did not help in my case re-install iTunes. Just more time spent on a problem that should not occur, and did not occur with 10.4.11 a few days ago. Only since upgrading to 10.5.4!
    I would not have upgraded if I could have figured out how to keep the wireless connection from dropping out all the time, but after two months of trying everything I read here and everything Apple support told me to do, it still dropped it several times per day. 10.5.4 seems to have fixed that problem so far and given me this one in return!
