Itunes 10.1 iphone problems

i got the iphone 3gs and im having problems. i downloaded the new itunes update and now im trying to put music on my iphone and when i plug it in the only thing that pops up is the camera. so i dont know if its just mine or anyone elses and if anyone can help me

Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418is the link, but I will recap it here:
Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
Connect iPhone
Open Control Panel
double click on System
choose Hardware tab
click Device Manager
find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
right click iPhone
choose Properties
click driver tab
choose Update Driver
select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
click ok
iPhone should now connect
close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

ITunes Purchase on iPhone - Problem syncing

I recently bought a comedy album from the UK iTunes store (I am UK based) using my iPhone. Everything worked fine, the files were downloaded onto the iPhone and I can play them fine. However when I now try to sync the iPhone with iTunes on my iMac I keep getting an error message saying that the the drive on my iMac where the iTunes library is located, is unable to be written or read from, and the sync stops.
I have looked at the folder referenced and it has permissions for both read and write access, and I am able to move files to and from the drive via the finder.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone able to suggest a way that I can solve the problem.
If I do a restore, will I lose the newly purchased files on the iPhone? if so will I be able to download the purchased files again from the iTunes store to my iMac/iPhone?
Thanks,
Chris

I've got the exact same issue and it's bloody annoying, I get all sorts of errors and timeouts trying to sync music from the Wireless iTunes Store back to my computer. Right now I have a "The iPhone 'XXXX" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found"
I've done hard resets and such, doesn't seem to do anything, unfortunately a restore will wipe your songs, so you'll have to persist trying, as sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it seems to be okay with one song, but when it's more it seems to Time out.
Very annoying. I'm starting to get all these problems with my phone that I never used to, calls not coming through, syncing not working etc.

Windows xp/itunes 7.7 iphone problem

I have a first-generation phone, and a dell running windows xp. When I open itunes 7.7 and connect the phone (via USB) a window comes up recognizing the iphone, and attempts to view the photos with several programs (MS Word, a scanner program, and a couple of other options.) Itunes then freezes, and stops responding so that I have to manually close it in the task manager list. Itunes never even gets a chance to recognize the phone because of the freezing issue. I never had an issue with this before I upgraded to 7.7.
It seems like a windows xp issue, but I don't know where I can turn the setting off to stop recognizing the phone and trying to open the photo files? Has this happened to anyone else?

Go to control panel / auto play / scroll down to devices
and change options to take no action

I have problems with Itunes in my iPhone 4S since the newest Itunes update

When the latest Itune released was suggested in my Itunes I pressed yes, and I was asked to reset my Iphone. I did that and lost all the contacts, emails,etc, but I recovered them through I cloud. What I did not recovered was anything I had in Itune in my Iphone which was not synced with my Imac, I had customised it. Now I can not sync with my Mac. I can not even play the songs I have in my iphone, there are greyed out and go by very quicky and I can not play them. I want to be able to sync back and forth playlists between my Mac Air and my Iphone. Thanks for your help.

Thanks i am glad its not just me getting this problem! It asks me to put it back to factory settings but hw do i do that when i cannot get it recognised in the first place? Any ideas please?

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
Issue 1: iTunes Match
Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s

Problems creating separate iTunes account from iPhone

My wife and I have iPhones. I'm a MobileMe account user and my wife's email address is another email address within my MM account (I'm [email protected] and she is [email protected]). If we try to access iTunes with her existing email address it says the ID doesn't exist but when we try to set up a new user account in iTunes through her iPhone we're getting the message that the account is on an existing MobileMe account so won't set up new account.
How do we set up 2 iPhones to work with these email ID's?

If your wife's MobileMe address is an alias address under your MobileMe account, this is likely the problem when trying to create a new iTunes account with an alias email address, which is under the primary MobileMe account/address.
If both iPhones are synced with the same iTunes library at the present time with all 3rd party apps in your iTunes library and on each iPhone purchased/downloaded with your existing iTunes account, why do you want to create another iTunes account? All 3rd party apps and video purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the content.

Two iphones on one itunes account...problems galore..help wanted!!

My wife and I both have an iphone and are delighted with it except for this problem..
I bought mine first (phone 1), set up itunes and had no problems, it synced nicely, i downloaded music etc and ll was going well... the App store also work fantastically... my wife, based on my success (and the fact that her nokia N97 was pants) decided to get herself an iphone (phone 2). When signing up the contract in store we were told that "just, plug the phone into the laptop if you already have itunes and itunes will reognise it as a second device and act accordingly...." WRONG!!!
What actually happened was that the new phone, synced with itunes with all my details and lost all of my wifes phone numbers she had entered onto it, it got worse, after deleting all the numbers that she didnt want and putting her phone book back as she wanted it, she synced it again, this time itunes took the details from her phone and stored them in itself, next i came along and synced my phone and lost all my work numbers, all my music too and ended up with my wifes details.... Now when i access the App store i have to enter her password.. sometimes.. sometimes i have to enter my own and sometimes neither will work and i cannot download anything at all. Its all become one big mess...
I want an expert to untangle this mess for us as, at the moment i no longer sync my phone at all for fear of losing all the details again so of course im not getting the most from my phone. I phoned teh geek squad and they said... when you start itunes just hold down the CTRL button as you launch it and it will start a second account... it did but im sure that has added to the problem.
Im no itunes expert but need this sorted to enjoy the device the way it was intended...
Please help...

Sorry things haven't worked the way you expected. You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes account, selecting under the various tabs what you want on each device and itunes will keep it all straight upon subsequent syncs. It appears you may not have properly selected what content you want on each device. To sort this out, start by reading this article on syncing. Most of your questions will be answered in that article. Post back after reading with specific questions related to specific content.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

When I plug in my iphone 4s to sync to my windows computer it opens itunes but when it prepares to sync I keep getting a message that says itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. But this only happens when I connect the iphone.

I am able to connect my ipod and even just play itunes sucessfully. I have re installed itunes and the same problem presisits.

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
