IPhone won't sync after a restore?

So my iPhone all of a sudden had a capacity over load. I only have 436 songs and 54 apps, no way it's completely full. So I read up on stuff and I backed up everything on my iTunes and then I hit "restore" and it did a restore, and now my phone says either: "set up as new iphone" "restore from icloud" or "restore from itunes back up", and the third is what I want. Well when I hit that it starts trying to sync, and then it stops and says "your iphone cannot sync because there is not enough free space another 2.6gb is required. So now I can't use my phone at all!! And if I restore as a new iphone will I lose everything? Even on my itunes will it be deleted? I don't know what to do and why my phone has "corrupitble files" on it that is taking up space? Everything is up to date on the the phone and itunes. HELP!

  • IPhone won't sync after upgrading to Leopard

    My iPhone won't sync, or even show up in iTunes, after upgrading to Leopard. I've tried restarting my Macbook Pro, trying different USB slots, closing and reopening iTunes, everything. Has anyone else had this problem??
    I've tried everything apple suggests:
    1. The iPhone battery might need to be recharged. For information about charging iPhone, see "Charging the Battery" in the iPhone User's Guide.
    2. If that doesn't work, disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPhone to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
    3. If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
    4. If that doesn't work, restart your computer and reconnect iPhone to your computer.
    5. If that doesn't work, download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Follow the link below for info on how to do this.

  • IPhone won't sync after installing Leopard

    Hi,
    This weekend I updated my Mac Mini's system to 10.5.5 from 10.4.11 and I discovered that my iPhone won't sync now. I do get the little bleep sound when I plug it in and it will charge, but it won't sync. I have tried rebooting both the Mac Mini and the iPhone, but to no avail. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks much,
    David

    1) Try re-installing iTunes
    2) Try removing and reinstalling AMDS: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

  • Help Iphone won't sync after iTunes update

    So I just updated iTunes to the newest version in preparation for the 3.0 software, My OS is 10.5.7 and Itunes is the latest version and now my iphone won't sync, it will back up but when it says phone syncing it just stops and the spinning ball comes up and then will not go away, tried restarting, anyone have any ideas?

    Restart computer. Power off/on iPhone. Re-connect. If that doesn't work....I had a similar problem. I just downloaded iTunes 8.2 direct from apple website and re-installed....solved my problems.

  • IPhone won't sync after iTunes Upgrade

    I was prompted to upgrade to iTunes v8.1, which I did over the weekend. When trying to install it I get this error message:
    “The software you are installing for this hardware:
    DVD/CD-ROM drives
    Has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP … “
    The install will then carry-on. When go into iTunes I get this error message:
    “The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for reporting and burning CD and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.”
    (I had installed other CD burning software, but had deleted it before trying the upgrade). It will let me into iTunes, but when I plug my iphone in, it will charge it, but won’t sync. When I plug the phone in, my laptop does open a box asking me which camera software I want to use.
    I’ve tried re-installing iTunes several times (including deleting ‘Apple Mobile Device’), but it hasn't made a difference. My laptop is Windows XP

    Wasted hours on this. Solved it in the end & thought the solution might be useful for others. There were 2 problems:
    1. The Gear software drivers were missing / incorrect. Had to re-install them. That didn't work straight away so I then had to edit a registry setting.
    2. The iPhone still was only appearing as an imaging device, not under USB Controllers in Device Manager. I eventually found out that I had to reinstall the drivers. Couldn't find them at first. Finally found them in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    This all happened when I upgraded to iTunes v8.1.

  • IPhone won't sync after using CopyTrans??

    Hi everyone i recently used CopyTrans @ work to get some music out of my iPhone and also to put some in there so i could listen to it on the way home. BUT after I got home and tried to sync my iPhone iTunes would crash! : (((
    I then got to work and deleted the songs I added to my iPhone using CopyTrans (manually restoring iphone to it's last sync'd state...) but this problem still persists! What can I do? Is this really a CopyTrans' issue? I tried to uncheck Music before syncing but iTunes still crashes...is there any other way besides restoring my iPhone? I don't want to lose the records on my game apps : (

    how do u delete the itunesdb?...or should i say where is it in iPhone?
    but if you have to restore already...why do you still need to delete the itunesdb? I could just restore it simply right (without backing up first...cuz i tried to backup too when it asked me before restoring and still crashed iTunes).
    but yeah..so there's no other way to fix it other than restore right? shxt so i lose everything / change i made on iPhone during this period? : ((

  • Iphone won't sync after moving iPhoto library to external hard drive

    I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive, now my iTunes will not sync with my iphone. It has an error when syncing photos and quits
    iPhoto works just fine, iTunes works just fine. This only occurs when syncing. Please help!

    Put your iPhoto library on the external hard drive and hold your Option key down when opening iPhoto. Then just select the library on the external drive. You can have multiple libraries too.

  • IPhone won't sync after Windows 7 operating system upgrade

    I have upgraded my operating system of Windows 7. I reinstalled Itunes and now I can't get it sync with my IPhone 3G. I can manually drag files to my IPhone but when I sync it appears to sync but now music or video files are copied over to it. However applications and photos do copy.
    Further, I have an Ipod Nano that does sync just fine. Any ideas on what is wrong? Anyone?
    Thanks.

    If you're running Win 7 x64 then you most likely need to update the bios...the biggest issue is with Gigabyte Mother boards running intel chipsets...
    Updating bios resolves 99% of those machines...others depending on their configuration don't resolve with the bios update and the only known work around right now is to run is Vista or XP compatibility mode when opening iTunes

  • IPhone won't sync after switching to Macbook Pro. Help!

    I just recently got a Macbook Pro and copied my iTunes Library from my PC desktop. I authorized the Mac and plugged in the iPhone, but when I drag songs over, they appear greyed out with a dotted circle to the right of it. Does anyone know how to bring the songs over? I accidentially deleted all the songs off the iPhone, so now I have nothing!
    Thanks!

  • Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

    Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

    Is synching over wi-fi viable?  I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses.  I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

  • After switch from Outlook to Mail, iPhone won't sync with Address Book

    Good morning
    Using Lion, I recently dropped Outlook 2011 in favor of  Mail (did not uninstall though, do not want to).
    My problem is this, iTunes and iPhone won't sync with Address Book, they remain stuck on syncing with the Outlook address book. The issue is only for the address book, the iPhone syncs fine with iCal for some reason.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Hey, I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book app.
    Did you try hooking them all up to iCloud? That should do that trick for Address Book and iPhone.
    Alternatively, you could try connex.io. You would be able to sync all of your contacts between iPhone, Address Book and Outlook (and more if you want to). It also de-duplicates, cleans, completes and updates your contacts for you. So you jsut connect your services and connex.io takes care of the rest.
    If you want to try connex.io, check out: www.connex.io or if you need any more tips: [email protected]
    I hope this helped you out.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • IPhone won't sync when plugged in...

    After upgrading to iTunes 9, my iPhone won't sync when I plug it it in. When I connect it, iTunes opens automatically and the phone/application will say it's syncing, but then after a couple of seconds it just stops and nothing has changed on the phone or my music library. I ran the syncing diagnostics test and it didn't detect any errors... Here's the message I got from it:

    We have 2 iPhones and two computers, one Mac and a PC. We recently downloaded iTunes v9 and now iTunes cannot “see” either of our phones on either computer. I have contacted Apple by phone and spent over an hour trying to resolve this connection problem. The Apple rep suggested that the issue might be in the “dock” and recommended I take the phones to iPnone supplier. Incidentally I can charge the phones using the “dock” which suggests that the “dock” is not the issue.
    The iPhone supplier connected one one phone to his Mac computer and it immediately connected to and “saw” the phone. Interestingly, the supplier was only running iTunes v8. The supplier suggested there was a “patch” for iPhone to operate with itunes v9. Is this correct and if so how do I get it.
    So my problem is that I cannot ever get to the stage of "syncing".
    I have also noted on several “chat” sites people have had problems with iPhone and iTunes v9 connectivity.
    Help!!!! please!!!
