ITunes Sync issues with iOS5, Greyed Sync/Apply button.

Hey guys I'm having this major headache right now with iTunes. I have 3 Apple devices and they all work fine.
The iPhone and iPod Touch both 4g and upgraded to 5.0.1 firmware. Also have an iPhone 3g (This works and is able to sync)
But 4g iPhone and iPod touch won't sync with Itunes. It shows up on the tab.
Screenshot of how it appears. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4751478/OutToTheWorld/Untitled.jpg
But I can't drag and drop nor sync music because the Sync button is greyed out.
Wifi sync also doesn't work, But I assume this is because the devices aren't syncing properly. I've Restored 3 times, Uninstalled iTunes countless of times.
I've tried Autofill, Doesn't work.
I really don't know what to do anymore. I've look countless of places. Nothing.
Using Windows 7 64bit, iTunes and Devices are all up to date.

I too had a similar issue, although I was able to sync contacts.
With the same exact set-up as Scott, I experienced one way info flow for Calendar and Notes items, i.e. Outlook calendar items transferred to the iphone 5, but not vice versa, and iphone 5 notes transferred to the PC but not vice versa. I'm pretty sure its the same compatibility issue.
I was on the phone with Apple Care supervisor for 45 min to no avail. Finally the supervisor checked and said Apple doesn't support Office 2013. I was able to sync my iPhone 5 with Office 2010, so she thought it was a new bug in Office 2013 neither Apple or Micorosft had worked out. I'm not on iCloud, but maybe Microsoft's new cloud product. Skydrive (Office 2013) is causing the problem.
I am going to try and goto the Microsoft store, but I'm not hopeful. I'll post what i find here. Hopefully someone on this forum has a solution -N

  • Strange issues with iOS5 and non-working Buttons

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 to the new iOS yesterday. Since then:
    In the app store, under updates when I click the button to update the apps that need updating the button does not work.
    ALSO
    In Newsstand I click on the store to look at what's available. I click on any of the available subscriptions and they dont do anything. No option to download or anything.
    Thanks for any advice!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Didnt read the issues with ios5 until i've done my update. I ve restored my iphone 4, 3 times, and till now it is locked in a loop of the apple logo, loading

    Didnt read the issues with iOS5 until i've updated my iPhone 4. Restored 3 times and it is still locked in a loop of - Apple logo, loading, and a flash of "...restore successful...few steps away..." and buzz. Please help

    At the end of a Restore, you will be asked if you want the current iPhone to be synched as a New iPhone or use the current iPhone's settings. Selecting the former since to have solved the messaging problem. If u have done back-up of the "old" iPhone on iTunes, then your New iPhone will be the "old" iPhone too after synching with iTunes :)

  • My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

    Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

    Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

  • IPad 3 iOS 8 iTunes Connectivity Issue with same PC

    Hi all,
    Thank you for reading my post.
    I have an issue with my iPad3 and iTunes. Basically, I had synced my iPad and my PC (Lenovo Thinkpad T400) a long time ago. I then formatted my laptop to keep it going and all. Now, I want to transfer an iMovie (~450 mb) by syncing but, I get an error saying that I must erase the iPad and then sync because I have a "different iTunes library" I don't know what's the point, but this is the exact same laptop running the exact same OS (MS Windows 7 Pro) and authorized (Trust this computer on iPad) but it still won't let me do this. I have a lot of pictures, videos and important emails on this iPad and under any circumstances, do not want to erase it. The iPad is 32GB and has 5gigs of free space. It doesn't connect to my Mac either.
    Please let me know if you can help at the earliest, ( gotta go places)
    Thanks a lot!!
    Matt

    Your post is quite confusing, for several reasons.
    First of all, you're talking about a Lenovo PC, but you have posted in the "iTunes for Mac" forum.  Your profile indicates you have a MacBook Pro, but it's not at all clear if that enters into your scenario.
    Secondly, it sounds like perhaps you're trying to use an iPad to do the "transfer an iMovie".  If so, that is the source of your issue.  The iPad cannot serve as a storage device to transfer iTunes data from one PC to another.  You must use your computer's backup to do that.  If you reformatted your laptop's disk, then it likely looks like a new computer to iTunes.  You must restore the old backup to move the iTunes data to the newly formatted disk.

  • Ringtones i purchased from itunes disappeared when my iphone 4s restarted and they only show up as 'on my device' in itunes library but with a grey dotted circle. How do I get them back? They worked until the phone restarted!

    I purchased some alert tones on my iphone 4s via itunes yesterday. They all worked just fine until the phone ran out of battery and I plugged it in and restarted. They have vanished from the phone and when I connect to my PC they only show up as 'on my device' under tones and with a grey dotted circle by them. How do I get them back? This is crazy! I purchased one a second time, it worked, I switched my phone off and on again and it has gone again!!!

    Having the same issue on multiple alert tones on my Iphone5c.  After purchase they disappear from the phone and show up on my itune under Tones grayed out with a dotted circle next to them.

  • Itunes 8 - issues with Windows Vista

    I have recently bought a new laptop with windows vista home basic. Downloaded Itunes 8 and installed it ok, but when i go to start itunes, it starts in a minimised screen and I can't see the any of the buttons along the top (file, edit etc..). When the screen is maximised, the appearance is ok. But there is a problem with language in the play-lists - the playlist titles are in another language (Looks like Swedish or Finnish).
    I've checked all the language settings in itunes and in the operating system too and they are all set to English. Has anyone come accross this problem before? Is this a known issue with Itunes/Vista?

    I am having the same problem regarding the playlist languages, as well as other aspects. For example, my library name under preferences is not in English. Have you resolved the issue? I have checked all of my itunes and computer language settings and they are all set to English. I even changed my computer settings from Canada to US so that they are all the same.

  • Calendar alert issues with ios5

    I am having trouble with getting audible calendar alerts on my iPhone 4 with ios5. Ever since I downloaded ios5 about 2 weeks ago, all I can get for alerts on my calendar appointments are vibrating alerts. I have gone to settings and selected an audible alert, but it still only vibrates at alert time. I am able to get audible alerts for text messages, and my "todo" list app, so I believe my volume is set at an appropriate level. Is anyne else experiencing htis, and have you found a solution?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't sure if the default alert would have an impact, since I selected a specific alert time. However, I went into settings and tried to set the defailt time. Same result, I am still onyl getting a vibrating alert, with no audible tone.

  • Issue with Icons display in PUSH BUTTONS in forms 11g

    Hello,
    This is regarding an issue with the icons background for the push buttons in the forms 11g. When we enable the icons for the buttons (.gif) they are visible on the
    top left corner of the buttons and not in the centre. In one of the forums it was written like this is a common problem in Forms 11g. Is there any way by which we can
    centralize this icons on the Forms buttons. Also I have heard that image editing tools can be used to centralize the icons. I tried with one of the tools but it seems
    like it is not working.
    Can somebody suggest a workaround for this?
    Thanks in Advance
    Ram

    I will assume you are attempting to use the images included in the Forms applet jar. These images are purposely structured so that the subject is off-centered. You should not see that same behavior if you use your own images or edit the ones built-in to Forms. However, keep in mind that the images packaged in the Forms applet jar are intended to be used in a menu toolbar and not custom buttons.
    For more information, refer to MyOracleSupport note 1391073.1 where I explain this in detail.

  • Sync issues with ios5

    After upgrading to ios5 some of my books purchased on my iPad previously will not sync.

    It seems to be a new "feature" as I've seen similar threads. I suspect that it has been reported as a bug by someone by now, but you might want to drop a line to iTunes Feedback.

  • ITunes having issues with specific tracks.

    Specific tracks are giving me problems. That is to say when I try to play that specific song iTunes will pinwheel for 20~30 seconds (or crash) and if it does play the song will stutter. When I'm syncing my iPod and it gets to these tracks iTunes will again pinwheel for a while and then tell me that my iPod cannot be read from/written too. I've tried removing iTunes and reinstalling as well as removing the Library.xml file to no luck (however removing the library file changed which songs are giving me issues). The songs are seemingly random, some are in the middle of albums or songs I purchased off itunes store, no real pattern there. Also it was doing this under 10.5.8 and now still with 10.6. Its all very strange and I'm out of ideas.

    Are the videos the right kind of files to play in itunes?  If not they need to be converted.
    Not sure if I am allowed to mention the software needed to convert so you may have to use google to find that.

  • ITunes having issues with music videos

    I recently bought an album with some music videos in it and iTunes is having some issues playing them correctly. The audio is not in sync with the video. Seconly, the audio does not sound correct, it is making a skipping sound as if the audio is from a CD that has a scratch on it.
    I know that this issue is with how iTunes is playing it back, because when I play it in another video program it works fine.
    Just in case it will help, I am running iTunes 11.1.3.8

  • After updating to iTunes 11, issues with multiple Apple IDs on one computer

    My boyfriend and I both use the iMac, and both have Apple IDs. We are separate users on the iMac, and each logs in to his or her "side." Neither one of us had the slightest iTunes problem until we updated to iTunes 11. Now, I just discovered that the iMac is linked with his iTunes account for at least another 46 days, which means that I'm not allowed to download to the iMac purchases I made under my Apple ID on my phone.
    Is there a way to fix this? It's ridiculous that one of us would be locked out for 90 days at a time when all we want to do is back up music we legally purchased.

    Multiple users can "authorize" content on one computer, but in order to re-download content (including Match and stuff purchased on another device/computer), you have to "associate" the computer with that AppleID, and this can only be done for one AppleID per computer and can only change every 90 days.
    This has always been the rule, but it's more obvious since iTunes 11, because all your previous purchases now appear as cloud content, and it's easy to screw things up by accident.
    If you email the iTunes store, it's possible they will reset the counter and let you switch back to your AppleID (they did for me), but they will only do this once.
    There's really no reason to "back up" stuff purchased from the store.  If you want to listen to it on the computer, you can do "transfer purchases" while syncing, so there are workarounds.  Still, it's unquestionably a stupid rule that punishes legitimate users and does nothing to stop illegal sharing.  I encourage you to write very nasty feedback about it.
