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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Try reinstalling itunes on top of the current itunes (do not uninstall itunes),

  • 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

  • Cannot sync songs with iTunes since activating Match

    Since signing up for iTunes Match I cannot sync songs to my iPod Touch or iPad anymore, it forces me to download them from the iCloud, now multiple times since I have multiple devices.  Is there a way to still move music directly from iTunes to my device?

    @bmorgan
    stuart is correct.  Enabling match says "erase songs son device" however that is simply apple's way of saying "we will replace those songs with higher bitrate songs form icloud - you don't need to do anything. 
    itunes match is a service to have your entire library AVAILIBLE any time you have an internet connection - which most people do most of the time.  Match is for those of us who do not want to take up 30 Gb of storage with music we hardly listen to, just for the one instance we want to "hear that song". 
    do as stuart suggested.  Turn off match on your ios device, sync to itunes, then re-enable itunes match.  the same songs will be there as before (if higher bitrate songs are available, they will download whether you like it or not.  To avoid this, I would replace all matched songs in your computer's library with the icloud versions - this would keep your ios device from wanting to replace music when you turn on itunes match.

  • 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.

  • 3rd gen Ipod Touch won't sync/show in Itunes after 10.4.08 update

    On Saturday (7/30) I updated to ITunes 10.4.08 and updated to 4.3.5 (8L1) on my touch. It worked fine and synced properly after it d/l'd. Later in the day I plugged my Touch back into my computer and it wouldn't sync or show in ITunes. No error's or anything, just wont show and Touch is working as it should. All my USB ports are working fine and are charging my Touch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes two more times since then only to have the same problems happen. It will sync and show once, but after I disconnect and then reconnect, it will not show/sync again.If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!

    Small update.....I took my Touch to the Genius Bar yesterday, told them about the issue and they just gave me a new Touch. That's awesome and all, but I still have the problem. I guess it's on my computers end but what I don't understand is why does it work once, then never again?? Help?!?!?

  • Since going to IOS 5, my iPhone won't sync songs played on iPhone in iTunes (or videos)

    How do I get it to go back to normal?  I've turned off wireless syncing, but it's not happening through the usb cord either. 

    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.

  • IPhone 4s wont sync songs in iTunes

    Ok, so I've been having trouble with this for a few months now.  I've just been dealing with it, but I think it has just gotten out of hand.  I've been waiting for a possible update to fix the issue, but it's just not happening.
    I have a 32gig iPhone 4s, and it simply will not sync music from my iTunes.  I have plenty of space on the iPhone.  I am running the latest iTunes version and iOS version.  Songs purchased in the iTunes store will sync just fine, but any .mp3 I have added to my library will simply not sync.  Goes through the whole process, backup and all, and then will just not add the song.
    I have restored my phone numerous times.  I have used Phone Cleaner Pro 3.  I have used iFunBox to delete the iTunes_Control folder and Purchases folder and resynced.  Whenever I restore my phone and resync, I will get all my songs loaded on there.  However, any sync afterwards doesn't work.  It is getting increasingly frustrating knowing that I have to restore my phone every time I wish to add new songs.
    Does anyone know of a solid fix for this issue?

    As a note, I have also checked and unchecked "manually manage music" and it doesn't work.

  • Iphone won't sync calendar and contacts after 7.1.1 update

  • After updating to IOS 7, my iphone won't connect to my Itunes

    Alright, this is what's wrong. I have an iphone 4s, which has always been working perfectly, but I decided to update it to the IOS 7 when it became available.
    Once I had updated, which took forever, it seemed to work just fine again although very different from what i was used to. No matter I thought, I'd get used to it.
    Today I then plugged it into my 4 year old macbook (running OS X 10.5.8 and unable to update for some reason) and it said that my iphone couldn't sync with the itunes, that I needed to update to Itunes 1.11 or newer, but - and here's the kicker - the version of Itunes available on the apple site, won't work unless I have operating system OS X 10.6.8 or newer.
    So basically, updating my iphone has made it much worse, has made my expensive macbook fairly useless, at least for updating my phone.
    I'm just thankful that I haven't updated my Ipad yet, now knwoing that it won't work right after the update anyway.
    Any suggestions or ideas as to what I can do? I really don't wanna go out and spend a fortune on a new laptop just so I can sync my itunes.
    Hope someone can help

    I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
    i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
    IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer

  • 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!!!

  • RAZR V3i is very slow when syncing songs with iTunes

    My V3i use to sync songs with iTunes pretty fast, but after updating iTunes it syncs very slow, and half the time just hangs.
    Is anyone else having this issue? Any tips?
    Thanks!

    iTunes stalls loading a mp3 on my phone when that mp3 is currently being played.
