Iphone not syncing

Ever since I upgrade to OS Yosemite, I have been having issues syncing my iPhone 5 and my iPad mini! Each time at the last step of syncing, there is an error message
Anyone encountered the same problem and could help to resolve?
thanks,

Hey, try the steps below:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Open Finder, and go to wherever your iPhoto library is stored (usually ~/Pictures).
3. Right-click on the iPhoto Library and select “Show package contents”
4. Delete the “iPod Photo Cache” folder
5. Close the finder window
6. Open iPhoto. It might take some time for it to reload the library, but it’s ok.
7. When iPhoto finishes loading the library and you can browse your photos, close iPhoto
8. Open iTunes, goto your device’s Photo tab, and make shure the Sync photos options is UNCHECKED
9. Sync your device
10. After the sync finishes, CHECK the sync photo option. It will ask if the photos already in the device should be overwritten. I anserwered yes
11. Select which photos, events, albums or faces you want to sync,
12.- Sync your device again, and it should do it, including your photos

Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help

Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff. I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this. After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer. I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing. Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue). They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall. I have done that but still not recognising iphone. I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc. I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet. Can anyone pls help? Apple support now closed :-( thanks

I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5.
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS. I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5. This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house. Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.? (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).

Iphone not syncing music from itunes. all other devices are, it's just one iphone on my account

I'm having an issue syncing one iphone with my itunes account. I have several other iphones and an ipod that will sync just fine. I am running Windows 8. There was a glitch earlier when the new ios came out that was resolved and everything was working fine... now this one phone is not syncing. The music is showing up but when you hit play it just skips through.

IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

Hey lim_my,
Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
I don't have MobileMe.
Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.

I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?

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

New Laptop, iphone not syncing

I have a new laptop (Windows 7, intel i5, 4gb) and have installed the latest iTunes software. I have an iPhone 3G. The problem is that the iPhone does not seem to be recognised by the laptop. It doesn't begin to charge when plugged in and it does not sync with iTunes. The cable is working correctly when used with plug charger. Any ideas?

USB ports are all functioning with no problems with other devices.
And the cable is working correctly too.
I have tried the troubleshooting but some of the options are not visible on my computer.
I have no idea what to do next.
I have reinstalled itunes and the associated drivers. The phone still does not sync or begin to charge when connected. Any more ideas?

IPhone not syncing - error 1139

Since recently I receive the following message from iTunes when I'm connecting my iPhone to sync with it. Does anyone know what I can do about it?
The iPhone "name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1139).

I am getting the same error. In iTunes, when I highlight my iPhone and click on the "photos" tab, my phone is trying to sync all photos and albums. The choice of "select albums" is there but is not available to select as it had been in the past.
So anyone know why we can't select that option anymore?

Hi,
You did not mention whether you tried creating a test admin user, that might be worth trying.
You could trying uninstalling iTunes completely and then download fresh copy and use the 'right-click' then 'run as admin' approach to installing itunes.
How to completely uninstall iTunes... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
You could try connecting the phone using forced recovery as described here... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797
You do meet the requirements...
Windows system requirements
* PC with USB 2.0 port
* Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
* iTunes 7.5 or later
Let me know if anything mentioned worked... Good Luck!

IPhone not syncing correctly after restore.

I have an iPhone 4. I'm having storage issues, and I've been told that I should back up and then do a factory restore of the phone to delete the stored history on my apps. I've done that once with success. I tried again last night and everything seemed fine until I went to listen to music. There was nothing there. No big deal, I'll just add songs to my iPhone and sync it. It will not work. I've tried restarting my computer and iPhone. Nothing is working. Also, the status bar at the bottom of my iPhone screen on the computer, where it shows the space that is being used on my phone, is all yellow. There is nothing indicated for my music or apps. I've attempted to do some research on the issues, but I am not finding anything. Suggestions? Thoughts? Thanks so much for your help!

Somehow mine seems to be working now. If you haven't yet...try shutting the phone completely down (holding the wake/sleep button on top and the home button at the same time) then restarting, then sync again. You might find something in this thread helpful too.:

Iphone not syncing w/itunes

got an iphone 4 with ios 6.. got a macbook 2010 running ML.. got most updated itunes..
i cant get my phone to sync wirelessly when i plug it into the charger cord.. both are on the same wifi .. i am pretty sure my settings are correct.. but i am not sure

Open iTunes and connect your iPhone using the standard USB connector.
When your iPhone appears in the side bar and starts to sync, click it to bring up the summary page.
The fourth option box should be called ‘Options’, scroll down the page if you can’t see it straight away.
The second check box is marked ‘Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi’,
Make sure the box is checked, click ‘Apply’ and disconnect your iPhone.
For wireless sync to work your iPhone needs to be plugged into a power source, so do that now. You should notice the iPhone instantly connect with iTunes and start syncing, a process identified by the spinning circle in the status bar.
If you check back to iTunes, you’ll see that your iPhone still appears as if connected, even though it’s physically not.
If you check the ‘Manually Manage Music and Videos’ box, then items can be dragged and synced to your phone wirelessly too.
If you want to manually start an iTunes sync from your phone, open ‘Settings’, then chose ‘General’ and finally, ‘iTunes Wi-Fi Sync’.
Tap ‘Sync Now’ to start and observe the status bar to see what is being transferred between your computer and your iPhone.
Syncing works in the background so you can carry on working, emailing and taking/making calls.

IPhone not syncing all exchange calendar events

I'm having some issues with an iPhone running iOS 5.0.1 sycing with an SBS 2008 / Exchange 2007 server.
Email and contacts sync fine without any issues. Calendar seems to be syncing fine but is missing out some events. I have tried to look at what events are not syncing to see if there is a pattern, but it is very random and nothing that links the events in any way.
I have tried deleting the exchange account from the phone and re-adding it and have also tried adding the account on a completley different phone and it still only syncs the same calendar events, missing out a few events.
I have looked in outlook on the users computer and the events show fine. Also logged in to outlook web access and it shows the events in there without a problem.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

We've found, too, that the type of calendar item can make a difference..as an example, a changed instance of a recurring appointment can be a problem..it has to do with the way Exchange handles them...their suggestion is if you have an appointment that is say, every Monday all year, at 900am, but sometimes it changes to 930, and sometimes say, to 830, you need to make 52 individual appointments rather that 1 52 instance recurring appointment...not a very attractive option. The other thing that can make a difference if is an appointment has any attachments..first, the attachment can change frequently, leading to possible consistency issues that way, and second, the size of the attachment can make the Exchange client on the iOS device "choke"...also, users need to accept every invitation they see..if they delete 1 invitation, or if a delegate deletes one invitation the item will drop off of the calendar.....also, you want to minimize the number of delegates..thexe things are summarized in a couple of best practices documents Microsoft has published...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011276781033.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899704/
Also, I let users know that they want to minimize the number of instances of mail clients running against exchange Server...the more clients, particularly mobile devices, the more they are looking for trouble.

IPhone not syncing all of music.

I have a 16gb iPhone 3Gs that I only use as an iPod now. I have recently been buying some new music on it and trying to sync it up and first I noticed my playlists werent syncing up. Now I do have SEVERAL songs that need to be "located" which is not big deal but most of these songs on my playlists were just bought on itunes and they are not syncing either. So then I go to all the music and notice that not even half have synced. I have almost 2000 songs in my library but only about 400 something synced. I know I do not have that much music that needs to be "located" and like I said, a lot of it is new and has been bought from iTunes and it wasnt there either. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Could someone please give me a little bit of insight.

Anyone?? Please help!!

Calendar entries on iphone not syncing to my macs. Syncing via mobile.me and works well from mac to phone

Calendar entries made on my iphone are not syncing in to my ical calendar on my macs. Syncing via mobileme. works well from mac to phone.

I am having a similar problem. I think that my phone actually deleted a couple appointments, as well. Today I entered a repeating event on my phone. It still has not shown up on my MacBook or my iPad, hours later. I believe it is because my iCloud Sync was turned off on my phone. I just checked - It said that my password was entered incorrectly. I think that must have happened when I upgraded to iOS6. I fixed it now and am waiting to see if my iCal sync happens.

Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

Ok, this will work.
1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
Good luck!
