IPhone won't sync/mount in iTunes

I just noticed that my iPhone won't mount in iTunes. The iPhone makes the "i'm plugged in and charging" noise and shows the charging screen but never goes into sync mode.
I've rebooted the phone, laptop, and even tried two other cables still to no avail.
I'm also not sure if this happened after installing Snow Leopard because I only plug my iPhone into my laptop once a week and usually just walk away while it backs up and syncs.
Any suggestions? I can't even restore my iPhone.

  • My iPhone won't sync to my iTunes because it says my computer is not authorized. When i do authorize it, it claims to already be authorized. When i re-sync my phone it says it is unauthorized. Any help?

    Hello katey1717
    If you are getting the repeated prompts of asking to authorize your Apple ID, then check out the article below to resolve the issue. Make sure that you go through and remove the SC Info folder and try to authorizer again as that resolved it for me when I had that issue.

  • My iPhone won't sync with my iTunes because it says I need to download the latest version of iTunes, which I already did. I've tried to redownload multiple times but it just keeps telling me I already have it downloaded.

    I keep plugging in my iPhone to my computer, but iTunes says it does not recognize my phone and won't sync because it needs the latest version of iTunes (11.1 I believe?) to work. I have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and I have retried multiple times just incase and it says I already have the latest version downloaded. What can I do to make iTunes recognize my phone again?

    Hey there RMBrizzolara,
    It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
    iTunes: How to find which version you are using
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
    On Windows
    Open iTunes.
    On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
    Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
    You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why my Iphone won't sync to my itunes?

    Ever since I updated my Itunes my IPhone hasn't sync, anything, pictures, music, it won't back up my IPhone. I have uninstalling then restalling Itunes. I have tried just about everything.

    As I recall any playlist that uses a rule such as Media Kind is not Podcast (now) tends to fail to sync whereas using Playlist is Music has more success. Precise details escape my memory but esentially any referenecs to the podcast property means the playlist won't sync via the Music tab.

  • Song bought on my iPhone won't sync to my iTunes Library

    I bought a new song two days ago on the Wifi iTunes Store from my iPhone. When i connect the iPhone to my computer (iMac 10.4.11), the song won't transfer to my iTunes Library. My setup :
    iTunes set to "Manually manage music and videos" (as proposed by an apple support guy before)
    "Transfer purchases" menu does nothing. Nore does "sync" (of course).
    The song still appears on my iPhone ("Purchased").
    Let me add that this is not the first time i buy a song from my iPhone and sync it.

    Yes sir ! Same account everywhere.
    While i was waiting for an answer, I found a way to get my song in my iTunes library by using DiskAid.
    Next time i'll experience the same issue, i'll try de/re-authenticate.
    Thanks

  • My iPhone won't sync with my iTunes

    For some reason, when I plug my iPhone into my computer it Comes up with ' The iPhone Cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found'
    It was working fine last night and I have not changed any settings on my phone or computer. I've only had the phone for one day!

    Restart your computer and your phone.

  • IPhone won't sync songs to iTunes since 3.1.2 update

    Strange issue.
    - I updated to the new 3.1.2 this evening.
    - I was prompted after install if I wanted to sync up some songs that were on exclusively on my iPhone to iTunes (I clicked yes).
    - Now, all the songs that were on my iPhone (all previous purchases from my computer through iTunes and uploaded to iPhone at some point) are unavailable in iTunes because it says my computer is not "Authorized".
    - I get prompted to Authorize my computer. I authorize it. Then get a message saying "This computer is already authorized".
    I've Deauthorized and then authorized my computer in hopes that this will help but to no avail. The songs on my iPhone are still ONLY on my iPhone and unable to sync to iTunes. These are still listed in my iTunes library but they have the exclamation mark next to them and cannot be located on my hard drive or sync'd back from my iPhone.
    Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!

    Resolved. This had more to do with synching up with a new laptop just purchased (and authorizing against an older account name) than it did with 3.1.2. The problem wasn't identified until after I had downloaded the new iPhone update however.
    All is well in the world

    Ever since updating to new OS, my iphone won't sync to itunes. When I plug in the phone to the PC, dialog box says I need to update itunes to 10.6.3 or later. I did that update, but still get the same error message.
    Can anyone offer suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Since it told me to update, I updated to 10.7.
    Then when I plugged in the phone again, it gave the same message that I need to update itunes.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

    My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
    The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

    Sorry, but this doesn't work either.  Thank you for the response though.
    I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over.   I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
    I have deleted my iPhone backup.
    I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
    I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
    I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
    I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever.  But music?  Forget it.
    I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE.  All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT!  This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

  • I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

    I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

    I had an iPhone 3GS, but my husband had a newer one, so he gave me his when he upgraded to the iPhone4. When we uploaded everything, it took it all except my music. Now when I try to download my music from iTunes, it will not sync with it.
    No error messages
    It pops up the box where it asks if you want to view folders, download your pics, etc. There is nothing in the box about music (iTunes).
    I have rebooted my phone and computer. Downloaded the lastest version of iTunes, Deauthorized and reauthorized the phone. Not sure what to do now.

  • IPhone won't sync with iTunes.  Help?

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It just says, "waiting for sync to start." But no matter how long I leave it like that, it never syncs.  Wirelessly or via USB.  I have restarted both my computer and my phone.  I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the software on my phone is up to date.  Nothing seems to work.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    I found this on another thread --
    Keep your iphone connected. Quit iTunes. Reopen iTunes. Sync begins automatically. It worked for me and several others who had already followed the advice.
    So easy.

  • 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.
