Iphone not auto syncing when connected

i have the auto sync when connected option enabled on itunes, but when i plug my phone in, nothing happens.
when i launch itunes, then dis- and reconnect the phone, it's fine and syncs everything. ideas? this just started happening.

I've always had to open iTunes, then plug in phone for it to see it. I've never been able to just plug in my iPhone and watch iTunes get pulled up automatically like with my iPod. I just figured this is normal.

Why does iphone not light up when connected to power ?

The power lock button on my iphone 5 is broken. I turned it off using assist feature. Now when I connect the phone through cable to the wall charger, it does not light up. I know the battery was about 70% when I turned it off. Any clues ?

My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
I already restored it but that didn't help.
TIA for any replies.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

The iphone could not be synced because connection to the iphone was reset

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5 and have upgraded from IOS 6 to IOS 7. IOS 7 has been great unitl I just started getting the following error:
"The iphone could not be synced because connection to the iphone was reset"
I get this error, when I plug my phone in my mac. After getting the error, the iphone does not connect to itunes, so the phone will not Sync with Itunes and will not charge.
Please help!
Thanks,
Gary

I recently posted about this problem already but Apple decided to ad hoc delete my comment because I did not speak favorably of Apple making a comment not to their liking which (was),
there is no support solution coming at all from Apple even though various individuals report the exact same or simlar problem here, including myself on Apple-sponsored community blogs.
Well, I took this problem into my own hands and was able to simply resolve the matter on my own, (I think):
Under System Preferences / General / Reset....
* "Reset All Settings" (first at the top in the list on that page).
That seems to have resolved my issue with this nagging problem.
"the iphone could not be synced because connection to the iphone was reset"
At least so far I seem to not be getting this problem. You will still keep all your data but it will reset your system's settings (i.e., multiple keyboard selection, et el).
Hope this helps someone out there.

- Reboot the computer
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable. !
- Try another USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
