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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem with syncing after installing Leopard 10.5.8

    I have a PowerBook G4. I just installed Leopard 10.5.8. Ran all the available updates and so far there are a few bugs that I can't fix. I need some help please.
    1. When syncing to mobileMe, the computer gets caught in a loop and the round arrows at the top right of the screen never stops spinning. Also, when you bring the pointer to the top of the page, it seems frozen and the wheel starts. The time has also frozen.
    2. When syncing to iTunes with my iPhone, it also gets stuck in that sync loop.
    I'm assuming that there is something going on with MobileMe or with syncing. I can't find anything on this. Can anyone shed some light.

    Hi Eric,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • My phone wont't sync after installing Leopard 10.5.2

    I have read the other topics about iSync that would'nt start, and how to drag the application to the desktop and back. My iSync has worked all time since installing Leopard on my MacBook Pro. The problem is that it won't sync the assingnment i have made in the Calender. It syncs contacts very well.
    It worked all fine before Leopard. My phone is a Nokia E65 and i have redownloaded the plug-in from Nokia but it still won't sync the topics from the Calender.
    I hope anyone out there has experienced the same and have a solution - thanks.

  • IPod Touch suddenly won't sync after installing iOS 4.0

    I installed the new OS 4.0 and now my ipod touch won't sync. The mac doesn't see it and it doesn't even charge when hooked up. It charges fine with the same cable on a wall charger. My son's ipod is fine, I've restarted the ipod and the mac, I've reset the ipod, i've swapped usb's and cables, no luck. I've tried holding down the lock and power buttons. It's a 32 gig model. My iTunes is version 9.2 (the current version). When I had SW version 3.1.3. I had the same problem with an updated app, but when I updated the app again the problem vanished. I have no way of knowing which app it is or whether its the OS because they all updated at once.

    A couple of things come to mind. If Apple Mobile Device Services is not working properly, your Mac isn't going to see the iPod. You can troubleshoot that problem with some help from this Apple Support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1747
    The other thing that could be happening is a hard drive permissions problem. Chances are you haven't done this in a long time. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utilities and select your hard drive where iTunes is installed. Check off the Repair Permissions box and hit go.

  • Iphone won't connect after installing latest itunes

    After installing the latest version of iTunes and plugging in my iphone I received the error message "Iphone cannot be used because the proper software is not installed." I've already tried removing and re-installing the program. Not sure what else I can try to get this working.  I'm running windows vista.

    Hi Neodoc,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that your MacBook Pro will not boot past the Apple logo. There may be a few troubleshooting steps I would recommend for this situation. The following article outlines the steps to perform to get this resolved for you.

  • 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 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!

    Restart the phone and the computer
    Sync your phone to your computer with a USB cable

  • 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!
