IPhone not syncing with iTunes when plugged in

For the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the iPhone is supposed to automatically sync with iTunes over Wi-Fi when plugged into a power source. This is not working for me. The iTunes is connected to my phone over Wi-Fi, and the Settings are all approiate. However, the iPhone will not sync automatically; I need to manually start the sync from either iTunes or my iPhone. It's not working automatically. Does anyone know of a fix? I have a black iPhone 4S 16GB on Verizon.

In iTunes,go to Help > Diagnostics.
Run tests
If the issue is device not found go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
I ran through process to update drivers now phone is charging and recognised by my computer.
Also if need be go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

My iPhone 5c will not sync with iTunes when plugged in to my Macbook

i'm pretty frustrated. My iPhone will not sync to iTunes and transfer all the music i've downloaded to my iPhone. it does not even recognize that my iPhone exists on my macbook. I have updated my computer and iPhone. turned both devices on and off. unplugged my router and plugged back in. removed 3rd party anti-virus software (as others have mentioned that). i even took it tot he apple store to plug it in to their computers and their computers recognize it. what is wrong? HELP!

Does iTunes not recognize the iPhone is connected at all? Connecting it should result in the immediate appearance of this iPhone icon:
Have you:
Tried a different USB cable?
Tried a different USB port?
Tried logging in with startup items disabled (hold a shift key while logging in)?

My iphone4 will not sync with itunes. when it does sync on my computer it brings up pictures only and no music. My iphone says sync to computer but there is no way to do that. I uninstalled itunes and it didn't do any good. what can i do?

My iphone4 will not sync to music. IT will sync to pictures. I uninstalled itunes and put it back in but nothing. Also, itunes does not come up when i plug my phone into the computer. I have to click on itunes for it to come up. I am not sure what to do. Thanks Melani

You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

IPhone not syncing with iTunes

I check all the correct boxes in itunes on my lap top when my iPhone is connected, the capacity bar shows the extent of the data to be synced including about 20G's of audio, but when the sync is completed the capacity bar in iTunes shows no memory used for audio and there is no music on my iPhone. I've rebooted both my laptop and iPhone yet I keep getting the same results.

I have the 2003 17" iMac (flat panel on a moveable chrome arm, round base; aka "iLamp"). I sync my iPhone to it on a regular basis. USB1.1 is a lot slower than USB2 but, in general, it works.
I have run into some quirks that seem to be USB-related. For some reason, when the Keyboard/Mouse and iPhone are each connected directly to the back of the iMac, the iMac thinks the iPhone is connected through the Keyboard. I solved this by moving the Keyboard/Mouse to a USB hub (at <$20, much cheaper than a new Mac). iTunes does not like to (a) auto-sync when the iPhone is docked and further (b) be open before the iPhone is docked. I've turned off auto-sync in the iPhone's Summary tab in iTunes and always dock the iPhone before launching iTunes. If I have pictures on the iPhone that have not been synced to iPhoto yet, iPhoto will launch when the iPhone is docked. Sometimes, iTunes won't find the iPhone or will error out when there are un-synchronized photos.
Overall, I'm satisfied with using the iLamp and an iPhone. Enough so that it is tiding me over until I decide when to buy a new MBP or MB.

App purchased on iPhone not syncing with iTunes on mac

I recently purchased an app on my iPhone and wanted to use home sharing to allow my daughters to play too but couldn't do that from the app store without buying it again. I thought if I synced with my computer it might work but this app won't sync either. It works on my phone. It shows up in the image but isn't listed under "apps". How to I fix it? (The app in question is Dwelp as shown in the image below.)

You should be able to copy from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
(The listbox on the left-hand side of the screenshot that you've included lists the apps that are in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library, and it allows you to select which apps that you want on your phone from that list - when you've done the Transfer Purchases that app should then be in the Apps part of your library and therefore show in that listbox.)

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.
Next try:

Why does my iphone not sync with itunes

Having problems with my iphone 4s, it won't download any of my music from my laptop itunes account.
Initially it downloaded all the album cover artwork and track listings but when I selected a track to play it wouldnt play it.
Since then I've done a factory reset but now it's even worse and won't even show the album artwork or track listings.
If anyone has any advice I'd be very grateful.

are you on a mac? if so go to the top and click on store, make sure you "authorize the computer" so it will work with your Apple ID iDevices, if youre on a pc, this should be under file or one of the options there, hope this helps!

Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- have you tried a different cable/USP port?
- Assuming a PC look here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod. For recovery mode see:

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes. I tunes will freeze when it says waiting for sync to start . I can not put any media on my device ! please help !!!

Please help me figure out why my iphone 4 will not sync with itunes. I wish to prevent wiping the device clean if possible.

I have had exactly the same problem before, I have followed the guide as suggested to the letter and still no joy, each time (3 times now) that I have reinstalled the latest version of iTunes it is recognised and syncs with my iphone but with the next reboot of my computer it is gone again.
Try to refer this article about [how to transfer iPhone contents to computer|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/Howto_transer_or_backup_iPhone_contents_toPC].
Hope it works you out.

IPhone 5 not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3

My iPhone 5 (version iOS 6.1.4) is not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3 ?
When I plug my iPhone 5 into my Mac Pro (version OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3) the iPhone 5 syncs with iPhoto but not iTunes ?
The phone 5 is being charged via the USB cable into the Mac Pro, I can import photos via iPhoto from the iPhone 5, but I can not get iTunes to sync with the iPhone.
I have gone through all the steps in the "iPhone not appearing in iTunes" support assistant link with no luck:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
Does anyone have any suggestions ?

I finally got iTunes to sync with my iPhone 5
I followed the step by step instructions in this archived support article:
Archived - Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If the issue remains, try these steps:
Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash. (This will not remove any of your iTunes media or your iTunes library.)
Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/Extensions
Click Go.
Locate the file "AppleMobileDevice.kext" and drag it to the Trash.
Restart the Mac.
In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
Click Go.
Locate the folder "MobileDevice.framework" and drag it to the Trash.
In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
Click Go.
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
Restart the Mac.
Download iTunes and reinstall it. Test to see if the issue persists. Then, restart your Mac a final time to confirm issue is still resolved.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...
