IPhone Syncing Problems (Windows Vista)

I've ran into a problem, where I can't sync any of my photos, i've seen problems but not like this, almost all the time when i sync my photos it gives me a blue screen error (windows vista) sometimes it will sync some of them but they arent viewable or even able to find on the phone, another problem im having is i have 3 computers and i cant sync my 3 librarys on my iphone i want all 3 to be the same any ideas... thanks,
greg

greg,
This article may help with your blue screens when you are trying to sync photos:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
Also, you can only sync to one computer at a time. Therefore, you will not be able to use the iPhone with 3 different libraries without erasing what's on the iPhone when you sync it with a new computer. You can find more information about syncing in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2626win.html
If you want all 3 libraries to have the same content, you would need to copy the content on each computer to all the others. For more information on how to transfer your iTunes content to each computer, check out this article:

Good luck!

IPhone sync with Windows Vista

Hi,
My Outlook was syncing fine with my iphone until I was asked to change my password. When I did this, my mail wouldn't come in anymore. So I erased my account and tried to set it up again. Now I can't even connect to the server! It says my password is invalid even though it works fine with my work computer and webmail.
I heard that it will not sync because of a software issue between the iphone and Windows Vista server or something. Where can I get help for this??? I have no mails, contacts, or calendars. My IT department doesn't support iphone so they won't touch it, and the phone company has no idea also.

If all this changed after you had to change the password to access your server, then perhaps you are mistyping the password.

IPhone Sync Problems with VISTA After iTunes Upgrade to 7.4

Upon upgrading to iTunes 7.4 I was unable to sync my Outlook calendar or contacts to the iPhone. Called Apple Support that they seemed to know nothing about this problem general problem despite all of the discussions on this and many other tech. boards.
After being told remove and reinstall iTunes and Outlook, set-up a new user account, etc... (none of which worked) I finally concluded that perhaps the .pst file being used by outlook was simply incompatible with iTunes for some reason (e.g. unsupported recurring calendar items).
SOLUTION: Create a new outlook .pst data file. Once created, open up that new file along with the defective .pst file. Then, simply change the view of calendars and contacts in your old calendar such that you can see all of the items in a list. Highlight the items you want to keep and simply click-and-drag them to the nes .pst file. This solves all of the sync. problems I had post-7.4 upgrade. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete this painless fix.
This was so annoying for me that I'd be happy to help someone complete this simple task if they need help. < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >

Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?

IPhone sync problem Windows 7 64 bit

I have a PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I get error messages nearly every time I try to sync my iPhone 4. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 64 bit, latest version, but this does not solve the problem. iTunes is timing out my phone and will not sync. Any solutions? Am getting weary of going through an hour of this every day!
When my iPhone appears at all, I get a dialog box saying that another device has been synced to this computer. I am asked to restore from backup or install as a new device. Neither one works.
When/if iTunes does recognize myi iPhone, I get the error message "the iPhone [my phone name] cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device.
My email and apps that come with the phone work OK, but any optional apps I installed will not open on the iPhone.
Please help.

For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart. Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem. Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant. I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

Best calendar for iphone 5 sync with Windows vista ?

I use windows vista at home/work. I need a new calendar/software ( eg Outlook ), and am considering purchasing the iphone5 as well.
Which software do you recommend for windows vista that will easily sync back and forth with the iphone 5 ?

If all this changed after you had to change the password to access your server, then perhaps you are mistyping the password.

I'm attaching the print screen of iTunes again (as referred in the original post).

Receiveing "Unable to load data from Sync Services" message following iOS 5 Upgrade on iPhone 4 w/ Windows Vista, iTunes 10.5.1. How do I repair?

I upgraded my phone to iOS 5 yesterday. Lost several apps which I restored through my Purchased list in the iStore. Now when I try to sync the phone using iTunes, I receive an error message advising iTunes is unable to load data from Sync Services, and to disconnect and try again later. Have tried again later...no difference. After I acknowledge the error, iTunes continues to say it is Syncing the phone, but it continues to idle.
I have an iPhone 4. I am running iTunes 10.5.1.42 on a Windows Vista system.
What do I need to do to clear this up?

New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

Hi
I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

Distorted photos after syncing using windows vista

i've been trying to correct a issue that i have, everytime i sync a photo from my pictures folder, it comes out all distorted on my iphone. i even try syncing photos taken from my iphone folder to the iphone again anf it comes out distorted. ive called apple nd they said the have no idea what is causing that. any answers would help....... i was reading on readyboost, possibly it might work if i purchase it, but i dont want to waste my money if i have no guarantee that it will solve my problem.........

/// i actually solved my issue with having distored photos. windows vista uses a different type of driver other than FAT32 which is used on older windows, apple does not properly support that type of driver. so i did some research on readyboost, it enhances your memory which would probally fix the issue but quite expensive. so i transfered all my pictures from my c:/ hardrive to an external SD card.. i synced form the memory card and it fixed my issue. ///
I've had problems with importing pics from vista to my iphone since day 1. Distorted pics...missing pics...and pics not syncing at all. So I saved all my pics on a memory stick as per dude above and it all synced perfectly. Now why did this work? i have no clue but thank you very much bud.

Iphone 3Gs on Windows Vista 64 bit

What programs are included with the iphone 3Gs for downloading photograph to a windows vista 64 bit machine? Is there an iphoto version for windows? How about video downloading?

Guys/Gals - I was able to fix this. I don't know for all versions, but here's the system/setup I was having problems with:
* iPhone 3G software version 3.1
* iTunes latest two versions (current 9.0, also previous version before I tried upgrading)
* Windows Vista 64-bit
I've been able to connect my phone to iTunes and download pictures in Windows, but after a recent Windows Update, OR a recent iTunes upgrade, OR a recent Norton 360 update (I didn't know which was the killer) I could no longer see the iPhone in Windows OR iTunes. Nothing could. I couldn't transfer music, couldn't transfer photos.
I did both a RESTORE on the iPhone and UPGRADED iTunes this week to version 9.0 and finally got a solid connection between iTunes and the iPhone. That is the first (current) fix.
But still couldn't "see" it in Windows Vista Explorer.
After reading and reading and reading, and finding no workable solution (I tried: shutting off User Control, shutting down the Windows and Norton Firewalls, tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and performed those steps in many configurations), I also tried resinstalling the drivers through Control Panel (but it kept finding some generic "Windows Camera Driver" or some such), looking on my computer for usbaapl.sys (not there), I started looking on the web for it (but I'm always nervous about downloading drivers unless from the specific vendor's site), I finally did a search for "usbaapl" - and FOUND a driver in c:\windows\system32\drivers\ called "usbaapl64.sys".
On a fluke, I first created a COPY of the file, and renamed the copy "usbaapl.sys" (since that file did NOT exist on my machine previously).
Voila. I can now see the phone in Windows Vista Explorer.
Someone at Apple isn't talking to someone at Microsoft, I think. Microsoft Vista x64 (with all current updates) is still looking for usbaapl.sys - iTunes is now shipping with usbaapl64.sys.

Photo sync problems with Vista

I have two iPods which I manage on two different computers.
I manage my 2nd Gen Nano on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop running Windows XP Home, and manage my 5th Gen Video 30 GB iPod on a Dell Dimension E521 desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium. The same photos are on both computers.
The problems is that When I attempt to sync photos to the video ipod on the Vista system, I get an error "some photos weren't copied to Therese's iPod because they cannot be displayed on the iPod". I've deleted the iPod photo cache folder and tried the sync again, but still get the error.
Since both computers are networked, I thought I would try and sync the photos from the laptop over the network as opposed to the ones on the desktop. In iTunes on the desktop system, I selected the photos from the laptop and they sync'd to the the video iPod.
What I am trying to figue out is, Why the photo's from the laptop over the network would sync and not the photo's from the local Vista machine.
Any ideas of what the problem may be?
Dell Inspiron 8600 (Windows XP) / Dell Dimension E521 (Windows Vista) iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4 GB (Pink) / iPod Video 5th Gen 30 GB (Black)

It is an HP dv6040ca that has vista 64-bit on it. It has a NVIDIA sata driver, that I have tried to up date today.
Drat. HP has been offering a Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update/Rollback that has been helping with this sort of thing on desktop models (32-bit), but they aren't offering it on notebooks.
Are you up to date on that BIOS update they are offering? (They don't say what it does, but it might be worth a crack.)

Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit

I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync. The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected. Here is what I have and what I have tried already. I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing. I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable. I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does. When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls. ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT. THANKS DAVE
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

Yeah I have tried that already no luck. Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep. Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.
