ITunes has suddenly stopped syncing my iPhone

I have been using itunes for ages with my iphone 4s
All of a sudden today iTunes has just decided to not bother to sync my iPhone at all, it pops up, 'Laura's iPhone' then a little cross in a circle appears then nothing happens?! im using a legitimate Apple USB so i know its not that, i havent altered anything, all the softwares up to date
Although my computers downloaded windows 8.1 automatically.
So now i dont know how i'm supposed to sync my iPhone AT ALL and none of the foums have helped whatsoever
Please help me im sad

I was having this problem for days, and was really frustrated. I'm not sure why it started happening, but I fixed it by adding an exclusion for virus scanning by Windows Live Onecare for all the itunes files (.itl and xml). I guess I would try to do this for whatever virus protection program you have and see if it helps--it did for me.

    Another user just has a similar issue tonight and I advised him to go to the below Apple support link to see if the password was recognized there, which eventually resolved his username/passowrd issue. Give it a try and see if it works.

  • Itunes has suddenly stops working when any player connected

    Itunes has always worked fine on my HP laptop running Vista. With no changes in configuration or software, Itunes has suddenly stopped working any time an Ipod, Nano, or Shuffle is attached. I have tried to reinstall all software, restart computer, checked devices for updates. Have also tried solutions published on Apple support page. Nothing works. Itunes starts and works fine until a device is connected, but then I get the message that the program has stopped working and needs to close. Occasionally the whole system crashes and I get a "blue screen" error.

  • Much of my music in itunes has disappeared since syncing with iphone 4s?

    I'm not sure what is going on, but most of my music in itunes seems to have disappeared since syncing with my new iphone4s.
    I just noticed this when trying to look for a ringtone to put on my phone. I haven't put any music or anything like that onto my phone yet.
    What is going on? Can I get this back? I still have the music on an ipod. most of the music I uploaded from cd to itune.
    ty for help.

    This is not sounding like an iTunes Match issue - worth trying the iPhone forum and/or the iTunes for Windows/Mac forum.
    Usually in synchronisation, pending settings the library will adjust Songs on the device - it is not normal for connect to a device to alter Songs in a library unless to add - for example, addition of Songs purchase on the device.
    Would recommend - creating a second library, importing Songs from iPod and making a secure backup - from here you can use this resource to correct your original library, once the issue with your iPhone has been resolved.

  • Itunes has suddenly stopped working

    I have the Mac OS X version 10.4, 2 GHz Power PC G5. Up until this morning, my mac has run itunes perfectly. Yesterday evening, I was attempting to download a song from the itunes store and I received a message that I needed an itunes update. (7.5, i think). Anyway, I downloaded that update and now itunes will not open at all. I keep getting the following message: Itunes requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later for more info in upgrading your computer visit apple.com/macosx. I have visited the site and it has the same update that I downloaded last evening. I have tried setting up a new account and itunes will not open there either. I get the same message stated above. Any help will be appreciated! God Bless!

    What specific version of Mac OS X 10.4 are you running? It may be that the message is giving you the correct information and that you indeed need to update your version of Mac OS X 10.4.

  • I have a mac book my iPhone 4 doesn't show up in devicesin iTunes so cannot sync. it has also stopped syncing wirelessly.

    I have a mac book pro and iPhone 4. suddenly when i connect my iPhone 4 to my mac my phone doesn't show up in devices. it recognises it via iPhoto and uploads my photos but i cannot see it in iTunes so cannot sync. it has also stopped syncing wirelessly.

    Using the USB cable, connect your phone to the computer you want to sync with. Let the phone sync.
    In the left-hand pane, click on your iPhone under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab along the top of the screen.
    Under Option, is the checkbox for Sync with this Phone over Wi-Fi checked? If not, check it and click Apply.
    If it was already checked, do the following:
    Uncheck it
    Click Apply
    Disconnect the iPhone from the computer
    Plug the iPhone into the computer again
    Check the Sync over Wi-Fi checkbox
    Click Apply
    Disconect the iPhone from the computer
    Now go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can sync wirelessly.

  • HT201317 My Photo Stream has suddenly stopped pushing my photos to my PC though they appear on both my iPhones. Any ideas why or how to make it work again?

    My Photo Stream has suddenly stopped pushing photos from my iPhone 4s to my PC although they are appearing on my other iPhone. Any ideas why or how to fix the issue? I have not altered any settings.

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2. It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging. I have checked Settings-Sounds

    My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2.
    It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging when I got a new email.
    I have checked Settings-Sounds & Settings-Notification Centre and everything looks fine.
    It worked ok a couple of weeks ago but not after the latest update - anyone know why?

    Thanks Lawrence
    I omitted to say that it only occurs when the screen is locked - if I'm looking at something on my phone when an sms or email arrives, the phone 'notifies' me with a sound but doesnt do it when its screen is locked. Email messages and sms's (texts) still arrive but I get no sound to tell me they have.
    The MUTE swith is in the correct place and I have tried resetting the phone with the Home and Sleep buttons several times, still to no avail.
    I have noticed on the forums that many people are suffering or have suffered the same problem but Apple are never forthcoming, of course,

  • HT4061 My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging even though I have used different cables and adaptors. The cables adaptors charge another phone so nothing wrong at that end

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging. Have used three different cables and adaptors to no avail. The cables charge other phones so something wrong with the phone only. Need advice on possible solutions?

    Always try
    a reset then
    a restore first with back up then as new ,as required
    If still no improvement visit Apple Store genius bar
    BUT first check there is no debris in charging socket

    My iPhone has suddenly stopped working. It now says the battery is dying and to charge it. After charging it for over an hour, there is no change. The power won't come on, and I am left with a blank screen advising me to plug my phone into the charger.

    Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

  • HT1976 iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet away from home

    My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet when away from home. It was fine last Wednesday, then on Thursday all I got was 'Safari is no longer connected to the internet'. I cannot use the Messaging, Find my Friends etc.
    As far as I know I have not done anything to alter any settings, but I did change my password on Wednesday - which works, so I think that's OK.
    Has anyone any idea what is happening?

    My 1G Touch has suddenly stopped downloading (by wifi)  -some- podcasts and even -some- free songs from iTunes. The download page comes up but where there used to be a 'free' button there is nothing. I've done a full restore and problem persists.
        No answer on first visit to Genius Bar. Did the suggested full wipe with no sucess so I'm heading back with my laptop in hand to challenge them to find a solution.
        Can you solve this puzzler?
