Iphone will no longer sync to my power mac
The latest version of iTunes will not install on my mac since I have a PowerPC G5 and OSX 10.5.8. But now my iPhone 4 (and I have already ordered an iPhone 5) will no longer sync!
How can I now sync / put music on and off of my iPhone?
Buy a new, refurbished, or secondhand Intel Mac. While iTunes 10.6.3 can sync the iPhone 4 from a PowerPC Mac, the iPhone 5 absolutely requires Mac OS X 10.6.8, which requires an Intel Mac.

IPhone will no longer sync to iTunes
I downloaded the latest itunes software last night in order to download the new iPhone software but since updating my iTunes my phone will no longer sync. It appears in the devices category but whenever I go to click on my phone, iTunes freezes and I have to force quit iTunes and try again. I have restarted both my phone and computer and I am yet to have any luck. Is thee anything else i can try? I have messed with it for several hours two nights in a row and I'm just about through trying

My iPhone will not longer sync my calendars
My iPhone4 will no longer sync my calendars with my iMac.
My problem comes and goes. Everything syncs perfectly across platforms then suddenly one "calendar" in the cloud disappears from my iphone. I haven't changed any settings, so it has to be a bug in the software or a glitch in the cloud.
This morning I see that a scheduled appointment randomly disappeared from my phone. This is a BIG problem for business users.

Since updating itunes to the latest version, my ipad, iphone will no longer sync
Update your Mac OS X to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Software Update.... -
I have always been able to sync by plugging into my computer Mac OS 10.6.8 which does not interface with icloud. Now my iphone only wants to sync calander and contacts via icloud and will not sync when plugged in. Does any one else have this issue and or ideas?
Do you have the latest version of iTunes? If not, get it at:

This is my first time using this forum, and I apologize if my post isn't "normal" or if my question is too long. My old acer computer had become corrupted and I had to reinstall my copy of windows. When I tried to sync a new ringtone to my iphone, which was only ever synced to this same computer, I was prompted to delete everything I had so I could install one ringtone. That does not sound ideal, and I refuse to delete everything I've put on my phone and my data to sync to itunes. There has to be another way to show my phone that this is the same computer. So I do not have to go through the hassle of doing everything again. I could not find an answer in the forums, and hope you can help me. This is pretty close to being a deal breaker for me. I'm beyond frustrated with this policy.
I don't believe it matters, but I'm running the latest version of itunes, as of today, and I have an iPhone 4 CDMA iOS 7.4.Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again! -
IPhone will no longer sync with Outlook
Just updated to 8.2 and can no longer get Outlook contacts and calendar to sync. When I first connect iPhone I get a message that my computer is not authorized to sync with my iPhone then I click ALLOW and I get another message that it is unable to sync but then it does sync apps and backs up my iPhone but not the Outlook items. When I go under the INFO tab it will net let me select any program for syncing contacts and it says there is no compatable calendar to sync with. I was able to sync Outlook before this update.
After installing iPhone 3.0 and iTunes 8.2 several weeks ago, my Outlook calendar sync stopped working. I have tried every hint or trick I could find to no avail. The iTunes SW never reports errors, and I cannot determine just where the SW problem exists. I have cleared my iPhone contents and performed a restore/reset from iTunes. I re-installed iTunes several times, including the latest version (8.2.1.6) today, but nothing works. I spoke with an Apple Expert with no success; pleasant and empathetic, but with no troubleshooting skills. He suggested a replacement iPhone, which makes little sense to me.
I have a colleague at work whose Outlook calendar sync also stopped working after installing the latest SW. Does anyone have insight in this situation? -
My ipod shuffle synced, phone wont.
It's ridiculous how difficult this is. I've reinstalled iTunes, played with the settings, and it just doesn't work.
It will happily sync my computer library (which has nothing in it) with my phone library (589 songs) thereby (presumably) wiping out the 589 songs.
But I can't get it to sync the other way and copy the iPhone library to the computer.
It also puts new CDs on the computer but not on the phone, where I want them.
Is there anyone at Apple that cares about this abject stupidity in the software? -
HT1766 My iPhone will no longer sync to itunes.
I have an iPhone 4 and have always been able to connect to my lap top via USB and it would connect and sync to itunes automatically. However, it no longer connects or can be found on itunes when I connect my phone to my lab top. How can I fix this? I have tried updating but both my phone and my itunes are all up to date. Please Help!

Hey guys. Can you please help me? My iphone is not showing that I own ANY music anymore. It will not sync at all with my Itunes ever since downloading ios5. It states my computer is not authorized but it is...... I had no problems with my ipad, all of my music transferred just fine. I have no idea what to do now with my iphone except maybe a restore???
You all are much smarter than me. ;-) Can you help? Thank you.
HeatherGuys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
