Iphone won't sync with new installation of iTunes

I had to reinstall iTunes in a new laptop, and then copied my music library-file from the old iTunes-installation. Now the iPhone won't sync the music files. For some of the music I've bought in iTunes it says "You have to copy this music manually", but there is no such option in iTunes, as far as I can see. And by the way, afterinstalling 5.0.1 my contact-information is trippled, or every name and phone etc. is listed three times.

Try uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes. See the iTunes support page (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) on how to do this.

    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.

  • 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.

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • IPhone won't sync with computer, get error (-50) message. Also getting requests to sync when I open iTunes. I have 2 iTunes id's apparently. Can I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 4S,7.1.1,  and my MacBook Pro is still running 10.6.8, waiting to update to Mavericks as soon as I have some down time. My phone won't sync with my computer. I am getting an error message (-50). ITunes is also asking me if I want to sync my Podcasts, etc. with my computer when I first open it. I am assuming part of the issue is that I have 2 Apple ID's. One for my computer (this one), and another for my phone and iPad. Can I merge these identities? It this my problem or is there an incompatability between 10.6.8 and the new 7.1.1 OS on my phone?

    Hey Janice Lucoff,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

  • My iPhone won't sync with itunes on PC

    If I plug my phone in before I open itunes, it says "verifying iphone" and itunes freezes up forcing me to close it.
    If I plug my phone in after I open itunes, itunes recognizes the iphone with playlists in it, but will not sync anything. I bought this less than a week ago, and have re-installed itunes twice.
    Also, my first couple of syncs went perfectly. I already have a few playlists on it, etc. but now it won't sync anything new at all! WHAT THE ****? SOS

  • My iphone won't sync with two bluetooths...

    I have two of the Motorola T305's - the "bluetooth" you just clip on your car visor.
    I just got an iphone, and it synced fine with the unit in the truck. Won't sync with the same model unit in my car. My previous Nokia phone had no issue with this.
    Anything I can do? Thanks.

    Sorry to hi-jack the thread.
    I have a Motorola V3 and just about to get an iPhone, nice to know my t305 will work... but how do I get it to pair with the new phone? Do I just un-pair the V3 first then go into the iPhone settings and pair the t305 with it?

  • My iphone won't sync with outlook calendar

    My iphone 4 won't sync with my Outlook 2007 calendar.  It was working fine a couple of days ago and now it won't sync!!  Help!!!!

    Does iTunes Show an error message?
    How did you setup syncing with Outlook, are you syncing them via iTunes using USB or Wi-Fi or an Exchange server?
    For more info on USB syncing and all of the other options, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    If you aren't sure try setting up USB syncing again, just connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, click the Info tab across the top of the screen, scroll down to Contacts and choose to sync contacts.
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose  "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note:  If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later  if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail.  You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

  • Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

    When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
    Thanks for any help

    I have more information to share.
    When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
    All Contacts >
    From My Mac
    All From My Mac >
    Group A >
    Group B >
    Group C >
    etc
    Foobar (Exchange)
    Foobar Global Address List >
    After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
    Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
    If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
    However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
    Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
    All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
    However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.
