Iphone will not be accepted by itunes anymore

i recently was forced to do a restore on my iphone - a messy process - and upon completion ive found that itunes is still saying "an iphone has previously been synced with this computer" and is asking me if i want to do a restore or treat this as a new ipod.
the phone itself is backed to the state it was in before the mess occured, however it has no music/videos etc. i am at a loss as to how to fix this, but will continue to try and will post any results. if anyone has ideas, please let me know.
thank you

ive selected to set it up as a new phone and everything SEEMS to be working so far. i will try to restore it to where it was previously soon.

the "new phone" option seems to have kept the info that was restored in my previous attempt to restore, ie my recent texts, contacts etc and is now syncing all my music and videos.
perhaps this thread was a little premature?

Yes it was, but that's ok. I did the same thing. I had to restore a computer that I sync with my iphone to a earlier date to fix a different problem and realized I lost 250 songs etc. I resynched again and got it all back. Whew!

  • My iPhone will not sync to my iTunes

    OK, my iphone will not sync with my itunes. My phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4  and my itunes is updated to the 11.1.3 or whatever it is. I had over 1000 songs on my phone. When I hooked it up to sync some more music it deleted over 400 songs that I did not delete. They just disappeared when I hooked it up. How can  I get my music back and have it sync  to my laptop?

    I  just played all of my music couple hours ago and now its only down to 500 songs!!!

    My 6th generation nano will not sync music from itunes anymore.

    could you give us a bit more detail on the situation, Eeve?
    is it that the songs say that they're transferring, and appear on the ipod screen in itunes, but when you unplug the ipod they aren't on there? or is something a bit different going on?

  • My Iphone will not sync with my itunes after I had to change my user and pass on my pc.  How can I fix this problem?

    I had to reset my username and password on my computer because I must have hit a wrong key when changing password.  Anyway I made a new admin user on my pc and now my iphone will not sync all the way with my itunes.  I flashes a message on the screen saying "you do not have the proper privileges" and stops the sync.  All of my contacts are gone and all of my google calander is wiped clean.  I just want my Iphone to sync now so that I can add contacts again.  What can I do?  Thank you for your time.

    bogdan0,
    Tried that but did not work.  Thank you for the reply.  However, I did find the correct thing to do though so wanted to share.
    Since on my computer I had to create a new admin account,  I had to go into the shortcut properties of Itunes.  Then hit Compatibility Tab.  Had to check Run as Admin.  
    After hitting Change settings for all users it worked just fine.

  • Original iphone will not show up in itunes

  • My purchased music on my iphone will not transfer to my itunes library. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Please help me. I recently got a new laptop fro Christmas and i have begun to sync all my music and apps etc onto my new laptop. However, music that i have previously purchased on my iphone will not sync to my current laptop. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but only some have transfered, i still have over 200 songs to import and they won't transfer from my iphone to my laptop. Please help, it is very irritating. Thanks.

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • HT4623 my iPhone will not appear in the iTunes bar.

    i have already updated to the latest version of iTunes, and even unplugged the phone to try to restart the process of discovery.

    Hello Georgina,
    It sounds like your iPhone is not appearing in iTunes as expected. I recommend either of these troubleshooting articles depending on the version of your operating system:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    or

  • IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes anymore

    Hello. I have had my iPod Touch since 2011 and just recently I could not get it to show up in iTunes when I put the USB cable in to sync it. What ends up happening instead is a window appears showing my Apple iPod. I can click it and go into the Internal Storage which only shows my pictures and videos taken with the camera, but no music.
    So I tried almost all of the troubleshooting steps here on iTunes support (except for starting all over erasing all songs and data because I am not ready to do that and I do not believe it would do anything with the synchronization process), and unfortunately nothing has worked. I tried the running as admin and compatibility mode and it still just comes up with that window whenever I connect. I ran the diagnostics and the iPod is not showing up (the only red X). I have Windows 8. Is there anything I can do to make iTunes recognize that the iPod is connected to the laptop?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with           
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
