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!

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

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.

HT1296 My Iphone 5, IOS 7.0.4 won't sync calendars to my Macbook Pro IOS 10.9.1. I can sync calendars from the MB to the phone but not from the phone to the Mac. There is no tab for the calendar in Itunes now so I don't know how else to do this.

I have a Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1 and an Iphone 5S on IOS 7.0.4 and I can't sync my calendar from the phone to the Macbook.
It works the other way, Macbook to Iphone.
There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?

This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

Lost all apps after syncing new iPad to macbook pro - HELP!!!

I tried to sync my new iPad to my macbook pro. I got a message saying all my new apps I bought on my iPad did not transfer. I did the whole deauthorize/authorize thing and restarted to no avail. Now when I try to use those apps on my iPad they don't work. The screen flickers and the I'm back at homescreen. I spent a good amount of money on these apps. Help please!!
I'm MAC OS 10.6.8 and the iPad is the latest running 5.1.1

If it's apps that you've downloaded from the store that you're having problems with, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

ICal events won't sync from iPad to MacBook Pro

When adding events to iCal via iPad or iPad2 the events will not sync via Cloud to iCal on my MacBook Pro. However, when adding events via the MacBook Pro they appear on both the iPad and iPad 2. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi,
Something like this happened to me before.
Go to the system preferences app to see if iCloud or another account is syncing your calendar. Also do the same thig on the iPad(s). Make sure that the same account (ex: iCloud vs. yahoo) is syncing the calendars on all of the devices.
If that doesn't work go to the"calendars" button o. The top left coner of the iPad screen. Check the calendar the is syncing the calendar on all the devices.

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!

My IPhone won't sync all of my pictures! Help?

I've checked off an album in ITunes which I'd like to have on my IPhone. The album's got 5840 pictures but when I sync the phone it'll only sync about 4900 of them. Itunes says my phone has 5,47GB left, so why is it a problem??
Can anyone help me??
Annika.

All apps in your iTunes library on your computer are stored in a Mobile Applications folder in the iTunes folder located in your Music folder. If you transferred the iTunes folder from your Music folder on your PC to the Music folder on your Mac, the apps should have been transferred with it.
