ITunes detects iPhone, but doesn't sync

Hello everyone,
Excuse my bad english.
I've an issue with my iPhone 4S and iTunes (11.4)
iTunes detects the iPhone, it shows the usage-bar, but the "sync" button is unclickable.
I can see what's on my phone, re-arrange springboard icons and folders, etc, but when I want iTunes to sync my settings, nothing happens.
If I try to make a backup, it seems to work for a few seconds, but then it stops as if it has finished, without warning or error messages (and without backup )
I tried to re-install iTunes after deleting AppleMobileDevice.kext and AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg , but it didn't work.
Until the re-installation, the usage-bar showed only one category, "other". Now it shows all the categories it showed before the problem begun, but it doesn't reflect the real usage of the phone.
The other day I also updated to iOS 8.0.2 (without troubles), but the problem still exists!
Anyone can help? Thank you in advance!!
iPhone 4S 32GB - iOS 8.0.2
Mac OSX S.L. 10.6.8
iTunes 11.4

First step is to see if the problem is with the phone, the USB or the computer. For the USB make sure you are connecting to a port on the back of the computer, not to a hub and not to the keyboard. Try connecting to a different computer. If it works you have narrowed the problem. If it doesn't the problem is the phone or the cable, so try a different cable. If it works on a different computer try creating a new user on your computer, then see if you can connect when logged on as that user (you could do this first, of course).

ITunes recognizes iPhone, but doesn't show sync screen-what to do?

My iphone 3G S is authorized, has the latest software and I am running the latest iTunes as well on my MacBook.
When I connect the iPhone, the icon is visible on the left hand side pane in iTunes—under 'devices', but the screen freezes when I select the iphone icon, i.e. nothing seems to happen and I can't see anything related to syncing my iPhone.
File->'Sync iPod' item is also dimmed.
(Photos sync automatically, with no problem)
I can't seem to find any relevant info so far, because iTunes recognizes the iPhone in my case—but won't show the sync screen.

ITunes recognizes iPhone but won't sync

I charged my iPhone last night and went to sleep. When I woke up all my songs were deleted and all my videos. On itunes it said your iphone could not be synced because there is not enough free space. 8.31 GB is required, 56 MB available. But I dont have any songs or videos on their, but my photos will sync to mu iPhone.

Clerify: iTunes said 6.31 MB needed and I have under Music tabs unchecked the sync and under videos I have sync videos and only checked one small video. I also unchecked sync pictures. This is all under the iphone tab when your iphone is connected to iTunes. Where it shows my iPhone memory space it is has
Other (orange) 7.16 GB
Photos (yellow) 10 MB
Free (white) 109.7 MB
When I'm on my iphone and go to iPod there is no videos or music and when I charged it last night I didn't click anything and awoke and it was all gone and could not sync it back but only sync videos.
Thank You for replying

I purchased a song off iTunes from iPhone, but has not synced with Library on home computer

iTunes oh iPhone is not syncing with iTunes on home computer

Syncing is from a computer to a device, not device to computer. If you want to copy it from your phone then you should be able to do so by connecting it to your computer's iTunes and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option. Or you might be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

My iCalendar syncs between my iPad and my iPhone, but doesn't sync every entry with iCloud on my PC. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I live by my iCalendar and when I pulled it up on my PC this evening, I've noticed that only certain entries are syncing with my iCalendar (on my PC). For example, my work schedule is present on my PC, iPhone, and iPad, but my class schedule is only present on my iPad and iPhone. I have my settings adjusted so that every event/entry is to sync, and I just plugged my iPhone into my computer to sync it as well but to no avail.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

My ipod charges, but doesn't sync to itunes

My iPod charges, but doesn't sync with iTunes.

This is the Mac OS X Technologies > iSync forum - you are a Windows user.
iSync is a Mac-only application for syncing Contacts and Calendars to mobile phones and PDAs. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows, iPods or iTunes.
Try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum.

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

if you created a ringtone, it should appear in the tone menu in itunes.
Is the ringtone 30 seconds or less?
Also I would check the iringer support site to resolve your issue.

Sync 622 songs from Itunes to Iphone but Iphone shows 986 songs. What am I doing wrong?

I want to sync 622 songs from my Itunes on iMAC to my Iphone but everytime I sync my Iphone shows 986 songs.
Where are the extra songs coming from?
The extra songs listed under "music on my device" are grayed out with a dashed circle on the Itunes program.
Yes, I clicked on "sync only clicked on music and videos" and "sync selected music, artists"
Is there a simple fix so that when I sync my song from mac to iphone, it is a WYSIWYG process?
I have the Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.3, Mac mid 2007 OSX 10.7.5, Itunes 12.1.0.50
Thanks!

Try the following:
Attach your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and sync as usual.
When the iPhone's summary page is open in iTunes, click on the "Music" tab under "Settings" on the left side (2 rows below "Summary").
Uncheck the "Sync Music" box. Accept the "Are You Sure ...". That will remove all synced music from your iPhone once you click "Apply" in the lower right. (Of course, that music remains in iTunes).
Once that is complete, your iPhone should contain only the extra 364 songs. Do what you like with them.
Then recheck the "Sync Music" box and apply. That will restore the 622 songs to your iPhone.

IPhone 3G doesn't sync calendars and contacts via mobileme

Hi.
Since the initial setup, my new iPhone 3G doesn't sync up with MobileMe.
After some trouble in the beginning MM works fine now between my Powerbook and my iMac but although my MM-settings on the iPhone are correct and set to sync calendars and contacts, it simply doesn't.
I have tried everything on the iPhone:
Push (nothing happens).
Disconnecting push, using manual or automatic (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour).
Deleting my MobileMe account on the phone, thus erasing all contacts and calendars, then retyping everything correctly (and getting no message to suggest otherwise).
ITunes too tells me, that calendars and contacts are sync'ed through MM and I can't sync iCal and Contacts using the cable either.
Also, when I open System/MobileMe/Synchronize/Advanced on either of my computers to see the list of devices connected to my MobileMe, it only shows my computers on that list - not the iPhone!
Can anyone help me with this or do I just have to wait for Apple to realize that MM doesn't work on iPhone 3 (2.2) - which kind of defeats the whole purpose of getting it in the first place?
Thanks,

This is a list of registered computers with your MM account, not a list of registered devices. Your iPhone will not be shown in the list of registered computers, because it isn't a computer.
I thought so, but wanted to mention it in case I was wrong.
Have you tried turning Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing with your MM account preferences on your iPhone followed by turning both back on?
I have tried everything I can think of, and that includes the above.
When doing this, however, the phone prompts me to accept that all calendar events and contacts on the phone are erased in order to sync new information from MobileMe.
I accept, but trouble is that no new info comes the other way, although the "spinning wheel" is running for ages.
I can again say, that the iPhone has been set up to MobileMe using the correct password and addres.
Neither Push, nor set intervals or manual sync have worked at any time.
The only way, I can put my calendar and contacts onto it is by deleting the MobileMe account on the phone and syncing via USB
