2G iPhone wont sync with new iTunes

I’ve had my phone for several months now and I haven’t had any problems syncing songs from iTunes to it. But since I’ve downloaded the new iTunes it will not sync up anymore. Instead of the normal chime when connecting the phone, it does a real quick triple chime instead. Then it immediately makes the sound of it being disconnected. So I was wondering if there was any secret way to fix it. I’ve looked for troubleshooting on apple.com and Google, and nothing has solved it yet.

I've already tried that. I have done it twice since the new iTunes came out. I'm not really sure what else there is to do.

IPhone 5 will not sync with new iMac

Whenever I plug my iPhone 5 into my new iMac, I get a message that reads, "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not allocate a resource". What's the deal?

Try resetting the Lockdown folder as described in itume #7 in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529.

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 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).

IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

From the tech specs and I believe the box the iphone came in:

iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)"

Backing up old iPhone and syncing with new iPhone 5 on a different account.

I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 on a straight talk account. I had an iPhone 4 on Verizon prior to now. My daughter and I have been sharing an iTunes account but this has caused us several problems receiving each other's texts and pictures and misc info. I signed up with a new iTunes account in an effort to avoid any future problems but I think I have created new problems. I have been trying to back up my old iPhone to the iTunes account and then sync it with the new phone. I was able to get my apps and music to appear on the new phone but my contacts and pictures didn't sync. I went into the iTunes program and marked the different things I wanted to sync. Still didn't work. Every time I run a sync with the new phone it acts like its a brand new phone and starts back at the programming stage with language and country option and then tells me to plug it into iTunes. Then the same process is repeated with the same result. Help. I just want to get my info off my old phone to my new phone and have a separate account from her. Also, I have an iMac and iPad. Please advise!

Please help somebody!!

IPhone & iPad sync with new library

Okay, so I just received a brand new MacBook Pro. Sweet. I hooked my phone up to sync it. I got a message saying your phone is synced with another library, can't be synced with more than one library, etc. So I emailed iTunes, explained my situation, they said you can manually sync it from the iphone page in iTunes. I clicked the little check box, but the same message come up. I emailed them back, they said it was weird, and try apple discussions. So here is the problem. I have all my music on my new MacBook Pro, but my apps never transferred over from my old computer to my new one. If I delete all the content on my iPhone, then I lose all my apps. Same thing goes for my iPad. What can I do?

You don't have to move everything from the old computer, just the files inside the iTunes folder (iTunes Library or iTunes Music Library and the .xml version, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Music, Mobile Applications, ipod Games, etc...)
If you didn't use Migration Assistant to move your data from the old computer to the new one, you may have to right click on each of the files and folder and choose "Get Info" and change the permissions to "Everyone" can "Read and Write" before you copy them to the new computer.
If 100% of your music and movie files and apps are already on the iPod, and you can't copy everything from the old Mac to new one, then you could try this:
(1) In the new Mac make sure you are logged into the iTunes store and the computer is "Authorized" under the menu "Store > Authorize This Computer"
(2) Use "File > Transfer Purchases from iPod" to get you purchased content,
(3) You may need to find a free app online called "Senuti" to transfer non-purchased music like rips from CD's, but I don't know if this will import non-purchased movies. (Senuti is iTunes spelled backwards)
(4) Then use "File > Library > Import Playlists and only import just the old "iTunes Library.xml file from the old computer into the new one. (if you want all your old playlists)
In my case I would need a 900Gb - 1Tb iPod to fit my entire library on one device, but it sounds like your library was small.

30GB iPod won't sync with new iMac

I used my 30GB iPod with my old G5 iMac for years without any problems. 2 months ago I bought a new Intel i5 iMac and I have a lot of problems to sync it with the computer. I get the message that the content of the iPod is unreadable and I need to restore the iPod. I restored the iPOd 3 times since I got my new iMac. Is there something I can do about it?
Thanks in advance

Try a low level format of the iPod's Hard Disk using Disk Utility. See this article for a walkthrough on reformatting your iPod.

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 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!
