Iphone upgrade to OS5, now cannot sync

Just upgraded software to new OS 5 on my 3GS, and now cannot sync. Getting the "disk not found" error, primarily. Also, after sync, my custom ringtones disappeared, and the usual "drag and drop" method of getting them back into my phone is not working.
Working on a Win7 PC and running the most recent version of iTunes.
This *****.
Anyone? Class? Bueller? Anyone?
Thanks,
Carole

Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."

I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.

HT1329 i have re-installed I-tunes and have a new operating system (Win 7 Pro). I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do i do to get around this problem?

An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

TS3581 I recently upgraded my iphone to ios7 and now cannot get it to connect to my phone via bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

I recently upgraded to ios7 and now cannot connect to my vehicle where as prior to the update, I had no problems. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve this problem?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

US iPhone, upgraded in Europe, now a brick? Warning to others!

I'm in Switzerland for the summer, foolishly upgraded my iPhone via iTunes and now have a dead phone.
It started to throw an error message about not supporting the accessory I had plugged in (even though nothing was plugged in), then it wouldn't charge no matter the method (wall, car, laptop), and before I could back up and downgrade the software, the battery was dead and now I can't charge, sync or downgrade.
Went to the biggest Apple supplier in Zurich, didn't get far because it was a US phone ("nothing we can do...") but after calling the local Apple number I was told that I was basically SOL until I head back home.
Reason? If you up innocently upgrade while in Europe, iTunes sees you as being here, directs you to an European version, no warning, you upgrade - and the Euro upgrade isn't compatible with the US phone.
End result - dead phone, no options. The guy said they are getting a lot of calls about this, and he knew what happened as soon as I mentioned I upgrade here.
So for those in Europe, don't be as naive as me and upgrade - there will be no warning, you are guaranteed to end up with a dead phone and there's no one to help.
Finally, it will be quite some time before I do head back to the US so I'm in a jam.
Anyone know something they don't about fixing this here before I head home?

I saw your discussion, and well, I did this very thing, except I brought my US iPhone to France. Upgraded, etc. It works extremely well, fingers crossed. It sounds to me like you're not "bricked" but that you have a hardware problem. If you can't plug it into the wall and charge it, well, there is something really wrong there. I don't think bricked phones do that, do they?
Let me repeat: the only hardware difference between phones of different countries would be GSM vs the US non-GSM. And the iPhone can work on lots of networks, including GSM. Why would Apple build 50 different iPhones for 50 different countries? Why can my US SIM card and my French SIM card work in the same phone, with equal results? I even have a FRENCH iTunes account, that I USED in the US to back, restore, activate, upgrade.
By the way I think it's false to claim that unlocking and unjailing or whatever, and all that, necessarily bricks your iPhone. Especially if you claim it happened by simply changing countries! So if you're desperate, well, ... I would.
Good luck. R
PS, I heard that during any upgrading or restoring you do, AIRPLANE mode should be turned OFF! It can cause bricking, I read it on the web, so it COULD be true

HT1386 iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) cannot sync with itunes 11.1.5.

Both my iPhone and iTunes are updated, iOS 7.1 and iTunes 11.1.5. However, not only can they not wifi sync, when I plug in my iPhone, my iTunes doesn't respond. The iPhone tab did not pop up. When I go under "File" -> "Devices", nothing is there when my iPhone is plugged in. I want to sync my iPhone with iTunes, but I cannot do anything right now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that didn't change a thing. I restarted my laptop and my iPhone, but that didn't change a thing either. What can I do?

Windows 8?

Updated to iOS5.0.1 on iPad, now cannot sync USB or WiFi

I updated to iOS5.0.1 on my iPad. Had a crash in the middle. I restored and everything appeared normal. The update is in the iPad but now I cannot sync either on USB or wifi.
Any ideas?

Similar problem here with iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
Apple have just released iTunes 10.5.1 which I hoped was a fix but no.
Wired sync still works fine on both devices.
Ran iTunes diagnostics and the sync test caused iTunes to crash on several with both devices so there obviously seems to be a problem with the software.

Removed cable while doing sync, now cannot sync anymore

I was syncing my iphone and I received a call, i answered the call and without noticing I unplugged my iphone, when I tried to reconnect it and sync it again, he said it couldn't work because of an unknown error. Then I tried to set the iphone back to factory settings (restore) and after 15 minutes watching the message box 'preparing iphone for recovery' it says cannot recover because of unknown error.
What should I do now ? Is there another way to factory reset it ?
Thanks

TS1363 I switched computers and now cannot sync my ipod shuffle

Help...I switched computers and now I cannot sync my ipod shuffle.

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new/different PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is consolidate of your iTunes content onto either one of the PCs and then sync your iPod with just that one PC.
If you like to copy everything from your Shuffle to this new/different iTunes library, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

System Crash During iPhone Sync -- Now Cannot Sync

My Mac OS X 10.4.11 system crashed while syncing Address Book and iCal with my iPhone. Now, when attempting to sync in iTunes, it says that syncing is disabled and asks if I want to enable it. When I say "yes," it says "Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer."
I saw a post that said to run iSync to reset the syncing parameters, but iSync doesn't run properly. It takes a long time to launch and once it does, no menu items appear when clicking on its menus.

If you call Apple tech support, I suspect the first thing they are going to tell you to do is to reinstall iTunes. I would recommend trying that and, if it doesn't fix the problem, calling 1-800-MY-iPHONE

Upgraded to 10.5 - iPods now cannot sync, stop at backup stage

I am running the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 computer. I run 3 iPod touch's and 2 iPod nano's off the same account (all use the same ID & password, library, etc). Up through iTunes 10.3, I never had an issue. With the release of 10.4, my iPods stop syncing at the 'backing up' stage. I have done everything that I have seen suggested:
1. Uninstall and reinstall itunes (including Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support and Apple Software update)
2. I have deleted all previous backups on the PC (under c:(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup)
3. I have even completely wiped my youngest daughter's iPod touch out of deperation - and it syncd...the first time - only to get hung up again on the backup stage.
In the past when this began, I reverted back to 10.3 and all was well. Now with a major upgrade in 10.5, I wanted to update their ipods and I HOPED that whatever issue had been fixed, but apparently it hasn't.
Any suggestions? Please?

Errror message: "This iphone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started". I now cannot sync on itunes

The error message is "This iphone cannot be used becuase the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Iphone will not start synci since the message appeared.

I'd start with the following document with that one:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
(If you've got a Mac, there's a link in the document through to Mac advice.)

Upgraded to Mavericks, now cannot connect to iCloud, no e-mail!

Just upgraded.
Restarted.
Mac tells me it cannot connect with iCloud because there's a problem with "catsongs at me dot com"...
... except, I don't use catsongs at me dot com for my account...
... I use the dot mac extension
Restarted away... same message...
On the road and now locked out of my MAIL!!!!
Keeps telling me there's a problem with my dot me account in iCloud... but I don't use that account for anying. Signed in via Apple site... it's my dot mac...
Help!
Thanks,
Cat

Just to be clear.
AIM stands for AOL Instant Message. So an AIM Password is an AOL Instant Message password.
An Apple ID issued by Apple (@mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) can also be valid AIM Screen Names
In the past the password at Apple had to comply with the AIM limit of 16 characters.
I have seen a recent post that suggests that this limit may have changed.
Try logging in here if the Name was registered at AIM or is an @mac.com name
https://settings.aim.com/
(You cannot log in here with an @iCloud.com or @me.com ending ID as there are addtional checks in iChat 6 and upwards that invloved logins to both Apple And AIM at the same time to confirm access to the password).
