ITunes 10.5 won't let me sync my iPhone 4?
I wanted to update my iPhone to ios5, but before doing so, I was promted with a upgrade for iTunes itself (to 10.5), so I did. After doing so, I was not able to sync my phone—I keep getting an error message that says something like "Sync could not be completed. The required folder could not be found." How do I fix this?
Something I want to make clear: syncing was working perfectly before updating iTunes to 10.5
try this:
I was almost desperate about that issue. I was looking for someone to take my iPhone to an Apple Store in US, when I found this post in YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2foiTBSn3k). Spacemonks' comment saved my day!
If you are experiencing the same I was, try this:
1) Hold buttons sleep + home untill iPhone turns off;
2) Open iTunes;
3) Hold home button and plug the phone to your computer. The phone will turn on and the iTunes + Arrow + cable screen will appear.;
4) iTunes will recover you phone from unsuccessful recovery process.
Thanks again to Spacemonks!!

Ok I got my computer worked on to remove viruses so I had to reinstal itunes now everythings gone from my itunes tried to sync my ipod it won't sync my music ,apps, or pictures back to itunes it says an ipod should only be synced with one itunes library and im supposed to have only one it gives me a choice to erase and sync or tranfer purchases so I click tranfer purchases so I get a error message itunes was unable to load class information from sync services Reconnect or try later I am not sure what to do.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- After all the stuff is on your computer, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. -
Unfortunatly my friend was being stupid and stole my iPhone and put a passcode of it, but he made it a random code that he doesn't know himself. I tried to sync it with iTunes but since I never synced it with that computer it won't give me acess to anything, the computer I origanally sync it to was wipped and got restated from scratch. I never had the need to sync it to it again so I never did (Which I'm now really regreating.)
So is there a way I can get back into my phone again? (And if there is how do I do it? and will it erase everything on it?)
Thanks so much for your helpLOST PASSCODE
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
Otherwise read this
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
Enter Wrong passcode

ITunes authorization problems won't let me sync apps
The last few times I've tried to sync my iPod all apps are removed and will not be synced to the iPod because I am "not authorized to play them on this computer." I do, though, have my iMac authorized with both of my iTunes Store accounts. Reauthorizing them does not work, nor does restoring the iPod. What am I supposed to do to get my apps to sync?
I am having the same problem popping up with "apps": Only mine is from an old account I had 3 years that hasn't been used for 4 years. It prompts me to authorize my computer to this old account which doesn't even exist... the message reads:
"This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed the iPhone "my iphone". Would you like to authorize this computer?"
When I enter current account info it tells me that this computer is already authorized and when I try to sync again it immediately pops up the same message above.
This only started happening after downloading and installing iTunes 8.1.1
Any Help?? -

i have itunes 10.6.1 and can't update itunes any further because im using mac os 10.5.8...the problem is that i just updated my iphone 4 to the new i OS6 and it won't let me sync to itunes without updating to itunes 10.7....help please??
Not for free, no. Well I guess there is. Don't sync your phone. We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
Some people don't seem to need 10.7. Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248 -
So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?
If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck -
I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?
It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system. iTunes won't let me sync the music from my iPod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download. How do I fix?
Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

I have a iPhone 5s currently and i just updated my iTunes to 12.0.1 and it will not let me sync so i rebooted my phone and my computer as told on the internet and it still won't let me sync or recognize my iPhone.. please help!
Hello narangcool,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I realize that when you connect your iPhone 5s to your computer, iTunes does not recognize it and you cannot sync. In this situation there may be additional troubleshooting steps that I would suggest to help resolve this situation. Please read over and work through the steps provided in the attached article.

I dowloaded an album to my iPad from iTunes and now I have no iTunes app and all music on my iPad has disappeared. My iMac won't let me sync because it thinks all my music is already installed/
You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!
