IPhone no longer syncs with iTunes after Leopard upgrade - HELP!

Not sure if this is the exact forum, but I just upgraded to Leopard and did all the proper software updates and now when I connect my iPhone 3G - iPhoto launches to load the pics like my camera normally does, but when I open iTunes my device does not appear. I tried rebooting both the phone and the computer and I am on iTunes 8. If I look in preferences for devices in iTunes my phone is listed, but it does not seem to want to sync.
Any and all thoughts are GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Mike

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

  • 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.

  • My iphone 4 no longer syncs with itunes after restoring it from a backup (it was fine before)?? Can anyone help?

    Hi, just to clarify - I have iOS 7.1.2 on my IPhone (as thats the latest it will support)... My iMac has iTunes 11.4. This combination of device and software has been working fine until a few weeks ago when I had to restore my Computer and Phone from a recent backup. I'm not sure if it was just coincidence, but the next time I plugged my iPhone in to sync the "sync" button on the lower right of the screen has refused to be "clickable" and now, no matter what I try, I cannot find a way of syncing my iPhone It's been four weeks now and I'm worried about the new contacts etc getting lost should anything happen. Please can someone guide me through some options? Thanks.

    This helped meRe: "iPhone disconnected" error in iTunes 
    Feb 14, 2008 2:09 AM (in response to GregM)
    One thing that could cause this error message is corrupted data on the iphone or computer. Close itunes and disconnect the iphone.
    Now open isync in the applications folder.
    Once isync is open, open the isync preferences.
    Click the button to reset sync history.
    Once sync history is reset, quit isync and open itunes.
    Open the itunes preferences and go to the syncing tab.
    Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all ipods and iphones.
    Connect the iphone and go to the info tab.
    Go to the bottom of the info tab and check the box to replace all contact data on the iphone with what is in the computer.
    Now click apply on the bottom right corner of itunes. If this does not work, open address book and create a new group.
    Add 5 - 10 contacts to that group.
    Now go into itunes with the iphone connected and set the iphone to only sync to that particular group.
    if the iphone syncs ok, add some more contacts and sync again.
    If the iphone does not sync, remove some of the contacts and sync again.
    Keep going through this process until you narrow down which contacts are causing the problem. Hope this helps. 

  • Iphone 3g no longer syncs with itunes after 3.1 update.. need help

    after updating to 3.1, my phone went into restore mode.. after it finished I noticed that the device would show up in tunes under devices but will no longer sync. It will start to verify then stops and goes back to my home screen

    Same problem here. It shows up under devices but there is no "page" for it. No tabs, music, apps, nothing.

  • IPod and iPhone no longer syncing with iTunes

    First my iPhone would sync. I would get a "could not sync" because iPhone timed out. It would start and do several things (backup, sync contacts) but then seemed to get stuck transferring an application purchased on the iPhone to iTunes.
    But then I realized that my iPod won't sync either. Again it starts but then I get a beachball.
    So at first I thought I had an iPhone problem, but now i think something must be wrong with iTunes.
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks, Tony

    I'm having a similar problem.
    I have 2 ipods.
    I have an Ipod Nano 2nd Generation, and an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen.
    My 1 year old HP has been in the shop for 7 weeks now, i bought a Macbook Pro.
    I try to sync either one of my Ipods and the device does not show up under "devices".
    I have authorized the Macbook Pro.
    What do i do???

  • IPhone no longer syncs with iTunes ("deauthorized")

    It now says that I'm "not authorized" to sync my iPhone with my iTunes. How do I fix this problem?

    JFrazer,
    USB 2.0 is a system requirement for the iPhone, USB 1.1 may work but is not supported.
    Is your iTunes up to date on this computer?
    It should mention specific tracks that were not authorized in the details of the error message.
    If you find that song or video in your iTunes library and Get info (right click or ctrl-click) on that song, and go to the Summary tab. It will show what account that song was purchased with. Make sure that account is authorized, and that song or video will play in iTunes.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • IPhone is not syncing with iTunes after iOS 7.1 update

    I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2, and neither of them will sync my new music from iTunes after updating both of them to iOS 7.1.  When I press sync on my computer, the steps start at the top of iTunes, but then it just finishes before it actually starts writing the names of individual songs like it would normally do when syncing.  It is as there is no music to be synced but there is.  Please help!!

    You've tried the following procedure?
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    If this still doesn't work, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your device evaluated.

  • Iphone unable to Sync with Itunes after the 5.0.1 IOs upgrade

    I get an error message when I try to sync my iPhone 4 with my iTunes. It reads:
    "The iPhone "XXXX" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the selected items (additional 7.25GB required)."
    My status bar for the phone on iTunes says that with everything selected, I have 2.7GB free on my phone.
    I've also noticed that when it attempts to sync it cancels the sync after attempting to download something about a Safari safe downloading something or other (I've never been able to catch the whole wording because it cancels shortly after the attempted download)
    This is frustrating, how might this be fixed, or how might I downgrade my OS to a previous version?
    Thanks!

    3 things to try:
    1. disable anti trojan / virus real time scanners - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    2. disable firewall - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    3. disable your wifi and/or lan connection - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    (vpn software also seems to cause problems sometimes)
    it seems they made some changes in the way it connects (prob in for the tethering) and its causing some issues for some (my connection failure was caused by -a squared- my anti trojan program)

  • My Iphone no longer syncs with iTunes

    when I connect my iPhone, iTunes does not open, and it is not recognized not sync! However, it is well recognized as storage device like a USB key. I also tried to connect my I phone with I tunes of another computer .. Not recognized neither..
    I tried to follow the assistance provided by apple support but nothing worked..
    Thanks for your help!

    Usually re-starting the router and both iPhone and Mac helps. However, I am having this issue now as well ( as of last few days) and cannnot see the iPhone from iTunes...
    if you get any luck - please let me know!

  • New iPhone no longer syncs with iTunes or charges via MacBook

    Hi,
    seen that there are quite a few varied posts concerning iPhones that aren't syncing but none that have the exact problem that I've currently got, which is:
    I have a week old iPhone 3GS, I have connected it to my mac a couple of times and it worked and charged fine via the usb cable, however it is now not doing anything when attached, if the handset is turned of it automatically turns on but doesn't show that it is charging or syncing.
    I have followed all of the trouble shooting advice via mac support but still no joy, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    I was hoping that my new toy was going to be a little more user friendly than this, I'm an experienced Mac user and am a little dismayed at problems so early into the honeymoon period with my shiny new iPhone.
    Thanks

    Lovely, working, charging and syncing again, I'm in your debt, thank you.
    Just out of interest, I have read that this can be caused by syncing certain podcasts but I've only put a couple of dozen tunes that I already had in my iTunes library onto the phone, any ideas as to why the issue may have happened?
    Thanks again.

  • IPhone no longer syncs with iTunes

    I upgraded my computer to Leopard today and everything seems to be working properly. However, when I plug in my iPhone it doesn't start and show up in iTunes. Is there something I've missed?

    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.

  • Sync iCloud-enabled iPhone no longer works with iTunes

    Both my wife's and my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S stopped syncing with iTunes soon after the switch to iCLoud and iOS 5.0.1.
    Both phones are setup to backup into iCLoud and to sync via WiFi to the inhouse iTunes.
    At some point iTunes decided that both devices are no longer linked with our Computer (iMac 27 OSX 10.7.2) and insists whenever it 'sees' the iPhones on WiFi or the local cable that either devive has to be initialized or restored from the latest local backup (which is outdated due to the iCloud backups).
    No way to syn music, videos, movies to any of the devices ever since.
    Anybody else having the same issues with iTunes 'forgetting' previously paired iPhones?

    That is wild! My receiver had problems under 4.1, and I upgraded to 4.2 last night hoping to rectify things. It worked for me, flies through the menus and plays back beautifully again.
    I have a 3GS and a Pioneer deck in the truck.

  • With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

  • My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

    My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes.  When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod.  What do i do?

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

  • IPhone 4S (iOS 6) no longer syncing with iTunes

    Hi, this is my first post on Apple Support. I have several questions that I hope someone will be able to answer. Some regarding my iPhone, and some regarding my MBP.
    For starters, my iPhone 4S is running on iOS 6, and no longer syncs with iTunes. I am no longer able to add new music, I can only manage my photos through iPhoto. I updated to iOS 6 while at the Apple store and was told that everything transferred to my iPhone would now go through iCloud, which I wasn't too happy about. I thought that my phone was no longer syncing because of iCloud, and therefore deleted my iCould account (which didn't have anything important on it anyway), but that did not fix the problem. Rather than syncing, iTunes asks me to restore my phone back to factory settings. I considered doing that, but I don't have a back up on my MBP, so that is out of the question. Also, before restoring, iTunes does not give me the option to back up, which I thought it would.
    I would like to know how to make it so that my phone syncs with iTunes again so that I can manage my music etc. Does it have to do with iOS 6, iCloud, my MBP, or what? Is my iCloud still in the picture, even though I have deleted my account? If so, how do I disable it completely?
    Second question. On a different, older MBP (not mine, and probably running on old software), I burned a Maxell DVD-R containing just under 4GB of music. However, when I insert the disc in my MBP (running on 10.6.8), the disc reads as blank. I tried restarting with the disc in, as well as ejecting and inserting it several times, but nothing is doing the trick. I'm not sure if it's the brand, my MBP's optical drive, or the fact that it was burned on a computer that is running on earlier software than mine. I've read around on the internet with no luck. I have received two pop-ups, one that says it's blank and another that says it is not readable by my computer. Why?
    I've been a long time user of Apple, and rarely have any complaints, but my iPhone is really quite screwed up. The DVD-R issue is not a big deal, but I rely on my iPhone extremely (as most do), and not being able to manage it through iTunes is such a pain. I really hope someone can help!

    Wow. I never got back to this, I apologize. Today I started searching around online again randomly for a solution on Apple support. The message I am getting is "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." I've tried many different things both on my computer and my iPhone such as reseting networks, changing the cellular data options, restarting my modem and restarting the wifi on my computer. None of it seems to work. Even if anything were to work temporarily until iTunes 11, I would love that, but I can't seem to find a temporary fix.
