Iphone wont sync with computer

cant get iphone to sync with computer   i have never had trouble before

To determine your OS version:
1. Right Click on My Computer. Go to the ‘General’ tab (opens by default).
2. Click on Start then Run. In the ‘Open’ checkbox type Winver.
Either one should tell you exactly what version of Vista you have (However, it's likely you do indeed have Vista 64, in which case the iPhone will not sync properly).

    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • My calendar "all from my Mac" on my iphone wont sync with my ical

    I have my iphone calender under "all from my mac" however it wont sync with my ical. I have noticed the only calender on my ical is from my icloud. Unfortunately all my calender enteires on my iphone are not under that. Wondering what the easiest way to sync this is.
    when I click hide calender and hide the "all from my mac" all my calender entries disappear.

    Try this:
    1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal. Close iCal)
    2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
    3. Select Library
    4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
    Calendar Sync Changes
    Calendar Cache
    5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
    com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
    com.apple.syncserver.plist
    (not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
    6. Start iCal, it will update itself.

  • Iphone wont sync with itunes i dont have apple mobile device

    i dont have apple mobile device on my computer so that means my iphone wont sync to my itunes i tryed downloading the new itunes and everything but apple mobile device still did not download why? i need HELP!!!!!

    I had the same problem. iTunes would not recognize my wife's phone as a device. My phone was just fine. So here is how I fixed her problem after exhausting all the apple support tips. First thing I did was go to apple.com and saved the newest iTunes software to the desk top (do not install yet). Then I went into control pannel to uninstall software. Uninstall the following....Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple software update, Bonjour, and then finally uninstall iTunes. Then reboot your system, once reboot is complete go to your desktop and install the newest iTunes that you saved earlier. This worked like a charm...let me know if it helps

  • 'iPhone previously synced with computer' error when I connect to itunes

    I have a v1 iphone and yesterday morning upgraded to 2.01. That seemed to go just fine and I used it all day.
    Last night the batter ran out and upon plugging it into the charger it seems as if the phone has been de-activated. I then connected to iTunes and received the message saying "An iPHone has been previously synched with this computer" and I chose to restore from my backup which seemed to work fine. I could use the phone no problem.
    This morning I connected it to iTunes to move some music over and it gave me same "An iPhone has been previously..." message as before. So I'm restoring again, but I'm wondering what is up and if anyone else is experiencing similar issues

    I also have been experiencing this issue since yesterday when I tried to upgrade to 2.0.1
    Half way through installing the firmware update, my phone went nuts and kept disconnecting and reconnecting (hardware growler notifications) before throwing up an error (which I unhelpfully cannot recall now, but which I think was of the 0x800 'unknown error' variety). I cancelled the procedure and ejected the phone, before physically disconnecting it. Upon reconnecting, I was greeted with the same message as the original poster.
    I went through the backup restore procedure successfully, but now every time I reconnect the phone to my computer it comes up with the same screen:
    *An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer.*
    *1. Set up as a new iPhone.*
    *2. Restore from backup.*
    I've been through the backup option at least three times now (takes an age) and each time I reconnect the phone I get the same message. I've rebooted my Mac, rebooted the iPhone, all to no avail. I'm very hesitant to try option 1 above, which I feel may solve the issue but I'll lose all the phone data in the process. I'm aware I could write it all down and re-input it, and some things, like my contacts, can just be re-synced from my Mac address book, but there's plenty of other stuff on there that is unique to the phone that I would not be able to get back on it easily.
    If anyone has any insight on this matter it would be gratefully appreciated...
    For the record I'm running an aluminium 20" iMac, Leopard 10.5.4 with an iPhone 3G.

  • Iphone wont sync with itunes

    Hi, I bought an iphone 5 today and am trying to get it to sync with my itunes account after pressing the sync button it goes through the steps (4 steps) in a couple of seconds but there is no music on my phone, i read somewhere else to turn of imatch which i have done on the computer (it was already off on the phone) but not sure what else to try? any help would me much appreciated.
    thank you

    Yes, you will lose everything in your iPhone if you restore it to factory settings. What you want to do to prevent this is "Backup" your iPhone in iTunes. You do this by right-clicking on the device and than selecting "Backup" (if you have a Mac, hold CTRL and than click on your device).
    So what you'll do is restore your iPhone to factory settings and than on the setup screen, go to "Restore from iTunes" backup and this will place everything back to your phone.
    I hope this helps buddy. And you're very welcome!

  • IPhone 4s syncing with computer

    on my iPhone i have been trying to sync my itunes playlists and music but it says on the computer this is what is on the phone yet nothing changes on my phone. weeks ago it worked just fine now it wont sync..
    any ideas?

    I have a very similar issue, since upgrading both my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to iOS6, both have stopped automatically syncing the photostream. If I disconnect from my Wi-Fi network and reconnect
    , then open the photostream in the photos app, it will sync about 10 or so pictures and then stops again. I've left it connected to Wi-Fi overnight twice now, but neither will sync any photos on their own.

  • IPhone wont sync with iCloud???

    Hi all....Can anyone help???
    I have set up iCloud and it seems to work fine EXCEPT for the fact that I cannot get it Outlook to sync with my iphone?  I am using Outlook 2010 Pro...and iphone 5s.
    If I make a change on my phone calendar it does not sync the new event?  If I make a change in Outlook on my PC, it does not sync to the phone.
    Heres the twist....Changes, additions or deletion of CONTACTS either from my phone or my PC, work PERFECTLY. 
    I had the cloud page open in one window and outlook in another.  I made a Contact change in outlook and watched the change take effect in the cloud within a few seconds. Also I made a change to CONTACTS on my phone and also within seconds the change happened in the cloud and in outlook just like it should....
    ITS ONLY CALENDAR changes that dont work?
    Can someone help?
    Thanks

    Hey there smginoz,
    It sounds like your iCloud calendar is not syncing to Outlook and neither is your Outlook syncing to iCloud. I would use the Outlook troubleshooting from the following article to help you resolve the issue:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
    Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
    If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
    Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
    In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    If needed, there are additional steps to try within the article.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • IPhone wont sync with iCal

    I have downloaded some iCal calenders off the internet and also have been updating my own personal calenders in iCal to be synced with my iPhone. When i plug into my iphone and all the setting are correct and the top it just sayings that their syncing and this will go on for hours. Any suggestions?

    Tried removing SyncServices folder. Didn't work.
    Found this topic on Microsoft Sync Services going to 100% (which was my problem), and followed Bailey's advice especially to turn off Entourage syncing. Now appears fixed, though had to remove the folder twice and reboot in between. Took a long time to "replace all calendars on iPhone" on resulting sync, but it completed! Thereafter, can add a meeting, add a subscribed calendar, and it all syncs within 10 seconds or less.

  • Did latest iPhone update and now non of my third party apps work.  They open then close immediately.   I tried to restore but can't as my iphone wont sync with itunes now and I will loose my apps.  Also my largest app "Sat Nav" has gone.  Help ??

    Hi All
    I have run into problems with my iPhone 4.  I hadn't done an update for a while so decided to get my itunes and iphone 4 up to date.  I downloaded all the latest versions.  However now non of my third party apps work and my largest one has vanished.  I try and open them and they flash up and then close again. I thought the easiest thing to do was to restore so I tried to syn my apps onto itunes so I wouldn't loose them.  However it won't let me sync the apps onto iTunes.  It ill allow me to syn the old version when I just started but since then I have bought a dozen other apps.  Can anyone help.  thanks

    Well this won't work for me...
    I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
    NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.
