IPhone won't sync with MacBook Pro

My iPhone 4s won't sync with my MacBook Pro.
Running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
iPhone 7.1
iTunes 11.1.5
Last time I synced was March 17.  Can't remember if there's been updates on the phone.  None on the laptop.
I'm so annoyed.
I've done the usual shutdown/on again stuff.  Just can't get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated. 

Nevermind.  After reading through a bunch of fixes, one suggested resetting my modem, duh!!
I certainly know to do that when the laptop is acting up, had no idea that would fix the iPhone too!!
Hope this helps someone else.

  • IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

    I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated.   My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s.   It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space.   I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone."    Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer."   Which I have done so at least four times, with no results.   Can you help me?

    Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

  • Updated to version 7.0.3 and now iphone won't sync with MacBook

    Hi
    I have an iphone 4S which worked perfectly with my MacBook 4,1.  That is, until I upgraded my phone to 7.0.3!!!
    Now itunes wants me to upgrade to the latest version for me to be able to sync my phone, but my MacBook, which is updated in it's software, isn't able to do so because of it's model number. 
    Does anyone know how I can get back to that perfect syncing ability I had, without purchasing a new computer?
    Thanks for your input!

    Are you sure the update is done?
    You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Pages docs created on iPad won't sync with macbook pro

    When I create a Pages document on my iPad version 1... it appears on my MacBook - but remains permanently in 'updating' status - I have some on there that were created several months ago and cannot be downloaded.  If I create a doc on my MacBook, upload it to iCloud.. it syncs within seconds to my iPad.... but if I then edit it more on my iPad it appears edited on my MacBook, but again in permanent 'updating' status.  Can anyone help...or will I have to make the trek to the Genius bar?

    Try saving any documents that you can and then deleting them from each device where possible. Go to System preferences> iCloud> manage and delete any iWork documents that you see there. Then go to each device and turn off iCloud documents & data syncing on each.
    Once everything has been removed, you can then re-enable document & data syncing on each device. Add back a couple of documents (do not add any documents that used the same name as any documents previously) and see how it goes. Once it appears to be working correctly, you can then add back all your documents.
    Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

  • Iphone will not sync with macbook pro

    My mac has just updated to the latest version of I-Tunes but is saying that my I-phone (3GS) needs to update to version 10.6.3.  I have recently updated itunes on my iphone but don't know how to go about getting this latest version or syncing them again.  Can you help?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    what to do if black berry bold 9900 contacts not fully syncing with macbook pro?

    thanks for the advice
    I have an I phone 4S that is having almost the same problem, and only some of the newly added contact of the phone are added to the address book, so not a big difference, and its not a solution to get read of all products only because we use apple.

    why don't you post the same thing again (since you posted it 3 times already)?
    perhaps whole you're at it you could post some useful information to get advice like Mac OS, Device, Device OS, other sync software installed...

  • 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.

    Did you check your secuirty software settings? iTuens needs to contact Apple during the sync process.
    Also try to remove all Apple related software and reinstall iTunes after that. Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista and 7

  • 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 6 calendar stopped syncing with Macbook pro calendar

    My new iPhone 6 was syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro but just stopped. iCloud is enabled on both devices.

    It just started working again. Not sure what changed.

  • How can I restore data from my iPhone after sync with macbook pro?

    I accidentally syncronized my Iphone with MacBook Pro on iTunes and lost all data from my phone (calendar, contacts, photos, etc.). Is there a way to recover that information? Thank you!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.
