ITunes 11: No longer able to sync via USB

I updated to the latest version of ITunes. I am now no longer able to sync either my iPod Nano nor iPod Touch via USB. When trying to copy music from the computer to either devices, the progress is extremely slow for the 1st song and then stopps while tryng to sync the 2nd song.
When I downgrade to version 10.x I have no issues syncing again.

Additional info:
I am able to sync my iPad 2, just not the older generation iPod nano and iPod Touch

HT4191 upgraded to new itunes and no longer able to sync my notes in outlook with my iphone 4s

I use outlook notes and in itunes 10 you could sync notes when you plugged in your iphone and opened itunes. after itunes 11, you cannot sync notes via usb so how can i sync notes from my desk top to iphone and vis versa? The only thing i have not tried is to make sure the iphone and my desk top are on the same network at the office. I would be so simple if Apple would leave this function which worked great alone or just give us the option to use either or. I read that in order to sync, both the desktop and iphone have to be on the same network but if your desktop is connected to the net via the network port how can both devices be on the same "network"? I must be having a moment of stupidness! Please explain for us simple fokes.

If you read this I think you'll find it puts your mind at ease:

ITunes 11 No Longer Able to Sync Contacts with Google?

Hello,
I sincerely apologize if I am posting a redundant topic here; however, I was unable to find any other posted solutions.
After upgrading to iTunes 11, I noticed that there is no longer an option to sync the contacts on my iPhone to my Google Contacts.
Is this a feature that has been removed? Or is there something that I am missing with the new interface?
Any assistance that you can provide is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I am so beyond fed up with this and with Apple. THANK GOD I just switched to a Galaxy S3. The whole reason I did it is because iOS 6 crossed the line, especially with the removal of the native Google apps, only to replace Maps with the biggest joke of a maps app I have ever seen in my life. Within 5 minutes of turning on my new Android phone, literally every single feature, down to the most minor detail, was better than iPhone. Every iPhone user that has checked out my new phone says the same thing. I cannot find ONE thing that is better on the iPhone. Not ONE thing.
Before activating my new awesome phone, I wanted to sync my busted old piece of junk iPhone with Google contacts so I can seamlessly transfer them to the new phone, and lo & behold, I encounter even more of Apple's BS with regard to Google.
Apple, I can promise you this... by taking this stance against Google & making things SO much harder for your users, you are driving them away from Apple in DROVES, and straight into Googles open arms. Prepare to circle the drain. Switching to Android is the best decision I've made all year. I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!

ITunes 11.1.2 (integral to Mavericks) no longer allows contacts syncing via USB

Personally, I feel this is morally wrong. I have no problem with Apple offering the iCloud service, but it's quite another thing to force me to use iCloud for my own info. Whatever convenience or advantage this is to Apple is easily outweighed by all the downsides.
First and foremost, I have some very sensitive data, like passwords and combinations in some of those contacts and I don't feel comfortable putting that info on Apple's server. I've heard the counter argument that Apple's server has better protection. True, but my personal computer isn't nearly as juicy a target as Apple's. Does nobody remember the instances of hacks into data bases to steal credit card info?
Also, cloud services aren't perfect either. A friend of mine couldn't find his iPad, so he used the "Find My (iDevice)" service and saw that it was in the neighborhood. He didn't know it, but his son had left it at a friend's house. So he sent the command to wipe it. When he got it back, he synced it with his iCloud data...and lost all his contacts he'd ever collected, not just off his iPad, but off of his iCloud account also!
Finally; I know that the profitability in the hardware hasn't got worse for both PC manufacturers and for Apple also. So, receiving the revenue from a subscription service must be very apealing. This feels like a power play to push us one step closer to owning devices that are nothing more than keyboards and screens and to access our OWN data; it will only be housed on the manufacturer's server and will only be available via a subscription service.
I've been so HAPPY with my iMac and our iPhones and was about to upgrade both our phones to the new 5S as well as buying an iPad Air, my first iPad. I was EXCITED to do so. Now, I am as demoralized as I was happy to buy those new products. I'm hoping against hope that Apple will reconsider this move and restore direct syncing of MY data from MY iPhone to MY iMac. Hoping to have my faith in Apple restored as well.

Correction. I meant to say the profitability in the hardware HAS got worse for the manufacturers, not 'hasn't'.

Since uninstalling / reinstalling iTunes I am not able to sync iPhotos with my Apple TV with the following warning message stating that this is due to a 'problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to'. Please help!

My iTunes is no longer able to broadcast radio streams

Until recently, I've been able to stream radio successfully through iTunes and my old G4 Notebook. The music plays through ceiling speakers in the house. Recently we installed a new modem from Time Warner and my iTunes is no longer able to broadcast the Internet stream. The radio stations are broadcasting successfully; so that’s definitely not a problem. The G4 is able to broadcast songs I’ve downloaded. It’s just dead when it comes to picking up the Internet frequency. Any suggestions? Thanks. Johnnymoon.

I am having the same problem after adding the last update.

My wife and I have iPhones with 2 different iTune accounts and iCloud accounts, How can I set my Mac and iTunes up to be able to sync all as 1?.

You can't merge two iTunes accounts.

Centro can no longer connect to PC via USB

I bouhght a new PC recently and since then I can not get my Centro to connect to the computer via USB. Ive installed the software and driver and it still says no driver detected whenever I plug it in. Its also popping in and out of the device manger screen like its keeps getting unplugged andplugged back in . Ive tried both the cd driver and downloadable one.
Im running Win7 now, but was using Vista64 Home Prem when I first got the computer..
I never had any problem on my old cpompuer which was running Vista32 Home prem
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hello JalenTigh, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Unfortunately, Palm Desktop software has never had a driver for any 64-bit operating system. This has been true for XP64, Vista64, and now Windows 7 64bit.
If I could direct your attention to the Windows HotSync section of this forum you will find many large threads discussing your issue at the top of the section.
You will only be able to sync via a Wireless connection - on your Centro, this would be via BlueTooth.

Won't appear in Itunes or My Computer but will charge via USB

I have an ipod nano and when I attempt to sync via USB to my computer, it only charges. Never shows up in Itunes and not listed as a device in my computer? Have tried the 5R's and nothing?? Will hold a charge and work fine just not syncing in itunes or on the computer?

THANK YOU, this solved my problem, I've been trying to figure out the past 3 days, about 10 hours total!!!
Thanks, don't know how to mark you as helpful, but I have posted, in the 4th gen as similar, I can only do replies and don't know how to start my own thread!

When Using iOs 7.1.2 OSX 10.9.4 notes are not syncing via USB. When will this be fixed. Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution.

When Using iOs 7.1.2 with mac OSX 10.9.4 mavericks notes are not syncing via USB.
When will this be fixed ? Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution. it worked before, I can't really
understand why apple would change one of my favorite features. I use the notes feature to
capture quick ideas on the road and having it synched on my computer and my phone was very useful.
Previous blog posts elsewhere indicated this would be fixed in the latest rev of iOS, OSX and iTunes.
But alas after the recent update it's not. Really Annoying.

Then you won't be syncing your notes anymore.

Sync via usb not cloud

I have a 1st gen touch and while using the cloud I would also like to sync via USB, is this still possible?

The 1G iPod does not support iCloud and you can only sync via USB. You can't sync via wifi or backup to the iCloud.
The 1G can only sync by USB. Just connect the iPod to yur syncing computer and sync. The syncing computer is the computer on which you set the iPod on.

Iphone 5 no longer able to sync to itunes...HELP!!!!

Hey guys, I have tried numerous atempts to getting my iPhone 5 to be able to sync with my MacBook Pro but to no avail. It seems as though this all started after updating to the new OSX Yosemite as well as updating to the new iTunes 12.0.1. Whenever I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop, no matter what it is not showing up in my devices or being recognized. I have tried different cables, reset my iPhone, restarted everything, etc etc etc. It's not being recognized at all and everything under devices is grayed out in iTunes even when the phone is plugged in via usb. I'm not even able to sync wirelessly anymore. PLEASE HELP!!!! This is driving me insane! I have always been a strong supporter for Apple and have never had any issues in the 10+ years I've been an Apple user so this is quite disheartening.... Thank You!

I also had this issue since updating to iTunes 12. My phone was not showing up in "devices" at all, yet it was syncing to iPhoto just fine. What ended up fixing the issue for me was turning both my phone and computer off and back on again, and unplugging any other USB devices so that only my phone was the one connected. It then synced just fine.
FYI, I am running iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 5

ITunes no longer able to sync with Outlook

Hello,
This is my first ever post on any forum so please go easy on me.
I have an iPhone 4s, and iPad1 and run Windows7. I recently tried using iCloud but didn't like the Outlook calendar (appearance or speed) so wanted to go back to just syncing via my USB cable.
I have followed all steps on here, restoring the iPhone, removing and reinstalling iTunes completely (5 times now) and my phone and iPad will no longer sync, they just sit in never land at either backing up calendar or contacts (I have tried leaving them on for hours at a time). I have now lost my calendar and all of the music off the iPhone so hoping for a solution.
I have heard iTunes no longer supports syncing via iTunes, they want you to use iCloud but can't find anything definitive on this but it would explain why I can't get this to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I have tried everything.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using Google's sync services that are free yet? It sounds to me like you are not using Exchange for your iPhone with work. So, that would leave it open to use with Google. Keep your Google sync with your work calendar (Outlook), then sync up the Google Calendar with iCal so you have the calendar at home. Separately, setup your iPhone to sync real-time with your Google Calendar using the Microsoft Exchange settings. If all you are trying to do is get your one calendar to be the same everywhere, that will do it and it's all free. Here are links to instructions:

*Google Calendar Sync To Outlook (sounds like you already have this setup):*

Unless I missed a detail, I think that does it for you.

No Longer Able to Sync itunes to ipod

I recently needed to re-install Tiger. After re-installing, I ran all on-line upgrades to ensure I had the latest software for my mac. When attempting to open itunes, I was prompted to upgrade my version of QuickTime, which I did. I was then able to successfully open itunes; however, when I attempt to sync it to my ipod, I receive the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on... Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the itunes store?" I then click on "Authorize," and am prompted for my AppleID and password. After entering this information, I get the message "This computer is already authorized," with "Including this one, you have authorized one computer of your available 5." I click "OK" then the cycle of messages starts again. My ipod is never synced. I tried suggestions I've read on the internet and your website, trying things like "Deauthorize All" and clicking on a purchased song. All my songs have one and only account name associated with them and they are the correct name. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. Has anyone come up with a workable solution? TIA!

I did as you suggested. I closed itunes and ran Disk Utility, then repaired permissions. This did indeed repair permissions on a variety of apps including itunes. I then restarted my mac, opened itunes, attached my ipod (which is and has been recognized by itunes), but still experienced the same cycle of authorization errors/messages. Any other thoughts?
