ITunes sync w/iPhone 4

I just recently upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Pro.  Since then I have not been able to create new playlists on my iPhone 4 and my playlists on my iPHone are gone from iTunes.  It tells me that this device is tied to another library.  How can I fix this?

  • ITunes - syncing multiple iPhones and avoiding apps going on the wrong handsets!

    Hi all,
    I work for a small telco and i sync multiple iPhone handsets daily to my iTunes on my work PC, the problem i'm having is when the customer wants there applications transferred to their new handset, I have to sync the applications to my itunes and then put in the customer Apple ID password and transfer the purchases. Then what happens is the customers go to update their applications on there handsets and it comes up with another random apple id to update the app. How can i stop this from happening???
    Please I need your Help!!!

    My wife and I share almost everything...so when we purchase apps, we use the same Apple account. We have one account with AT&T with two phones. We also have one account at the apple store and charge everything to a specific credit card that has a very low monthly ceiling. This allows us to download the apps to our iphones from different computers. When I buy an app or download a free one, she logs in with our account and is eligible to download the app too. I think it is OK with Apple but have not read the fine print of the agreement.

  • Itunes sync with iphone 5 problem

    It's making me crazy..
    I am trying to sync my iphone 5 with itunes on Mac.
    Tried everything.. My mac says syncing, then it says finished but no songs or no video is synced. Looking at the tree, I see the playlist but it's grey. (so not synced)
    I had the same problem with my iPhone 4... The only thing I didn't do is setup the phone as a new phone.. (beacuse I want to keep my backup files)
    Tried everything. uninstall, create new lib, wipe the phone..
    Stupid thing is that my ipad 3 and mini are both synced correctly.
    It can have something to do with itunes match. I did use it for a couple of days but it was horrible. Changed the setting back to local sync but it's doing nothing. Switching back to match doesn't help either. Deleted the lib on the phone, on itunes..
    I am seeing more people with this problem. Anyone succeed in this?
    Most likely it's a bug in either the firmware or itunes.. My expectation is in the iphone because my ipad's are synced correctly..
    Thx>

    In addition, I just turned off syncing calendars, and now I'm "hanging" on syncing contacts. I think that the problem is with syncing, period, not limited to a particular data base.

  • Can I Force iTunes Sync FROM iPhone to XP Folder

    This won't get answered in another Forum so: I LIKE the way I have Re-Entered Contacts Data in my 3GS and want to Define Windows Address Book with this New Arrangement.
    Can You Force the DIRECTION of an iTunes Sync so that WAB is Over-Written with this iPhone Contacts List? (I already discovered the 2nd Sync after WAB setup went WAB to iPhone when Not intended that way) ----------
    Many Thanks!

    Maybe quitting & restarting iPhoto?

  • Why won't iTunes sync with Iphone 4s after upgrade?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.7.0.21, now my iPhone 4s will not sync via iCloud or my computer.  When I plug the phone in, it starts a sync session like normal but it will not complete the sync.  I get an error message that says "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "Scotty's" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone.  Yet, the phone shows up in iTunes.

    I'm having the same issue.  iTunes sees my iPhone 4 and I can access the contents via itunes, but the sync won't work - it starts to sync, then states, "waiting for sync to start," then after a few minutes ends up with an error, stating, "The iPhone "XXXX" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  This happens whether I try to sync with iCloud or my computer.
    I tried rebooting the iPhone, rerstarting the computer (Mac Pro with 10.8.1), switching out the cable - all to no effect.
    I downloaded iOS 6, but I didn't want to install it until I can successfully perform a backup with my computer - just in canse iOS 6 install fails.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • ITunes 'sync' for iPhone 6 now 'greyed' out?

    Yesterday and today the Sync at the lower right corner of the iTunes Mark's iPhone Summary screen is greyed out. I've never run into this before. I've disconnected the phone, rebooted the phone, open and closed iTunes. As a further test I checked iTunes to write over the iphone's Contacts, Appointments and Notes.The lower right changed to Apply/Revert, I clicked Apply, The top sync info screen flashed a couple of times but did not go through the sync process.
    Any suggestions?

    Since I couldn't find an edit option to my initial post, here's a few more observations:
    The box 'automatically sync with iPhone when connected' is checked.
    I rebooted the computer with the two USB port connectors unplugged (iPod and iPhone) then reconnected them after the computer finished loading windows.
    I checked 'sync with this iPhone over WiFi' and unplugged the phone. Apply/Revert appeared, I hit Apply. The top sync screen said 'starting to update files, the progress bar appeared for about 1/8" (~10 seconds) then disappeared. I unchecked sync with WiFi.

  • How Do I Stop iTunes syncing my iPhone automatically?

    I have owned an iPhone 5 for a little shy of two years now.  I love it but it has one irritating feature that I can't seem to get rid of.  When I had an iPod years ago one of the things I liked about it was the simple drag and drop method of loading songs onto the phone but that's never been possible with this iPhone.  Whenever I plug it into the computer it starts removing songs I want on it and adding songs I don't want.  I have been through iTunes' settings and as far as I can see I've set syncing to be manual and still it does this.  Increasingly I find myself avoiding adding new content to my phone because of how awkward the process is.
    To be clear, I want:
    1) When I plug the iPhone into the computer I want NOTHING to happen unless I tell iTunes to do it.  No music to be synced, backed up, deleted or anything.  I simply want iTunes to detect the phone and be ready for my instructions about what should be added or deleted.
    2) To be able to drag and drop the music I want from my library to the iPhone.
    I am using:
    iPhone 5 with ios 8.2
    iTunes 12.1.1
    I have already:
    Used "Device Preferences" to select "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPhones from syncing automatically"

    Hi,
    I'm not quite sure what you mean.  My iphone is connected to my home wifi, it doesn't change whats on the phone unless I plug it directly into my laptop though.
    I've just had a look at the setting you mentioned and its not currently set up to do the wifi syncing.  It says "to enable wifi syncing with itunes connect to itunes using a cable and click sync with this iphone over wifi"  Obviously since I want things much less automatic rather than more I won't be switching that feature on.

  • Having issues with iTunes syncing to iPhone 5...

    Both are up to date, iPhone has 7.0.4 and iTunes 11.1.3. Not all of my songs will sync onto my phone, only 63 out of about 500. Anyone else having this issue? Or solved it? Ahhhhh so frustrating!!! I've tried
    -Turning off my find iPhone
    -Selecting playlists instead of syncing all songs, all songs on playlist still don't show up
    -Restarting phone
    -Restarting my Mac
    -And doing these in about every order you can think of for the past 3 hours
    Help!

    So I had the same problem with what you are having except I have an Iphone 4S but heres what i did to resolve.
    1) Check the box for manually manage your music
    2) Uncheck all songs you want.
    3) Sync
    4) Check all songs you want, after the 1st sync
    5) Sync again but this time with all the music you want checked
    6) Now your inforamtion bar for the GB reading will be weird, dont worry about it. After the sync check all songs on your phone. All should be playable.
    Hope it helps!

  • Why won't itunes sync with iphone the contacts and calendars?  Items entered on Outlook are copied to iPhone, but item entered on iPhone are lost in the next sync.  That is not a true sync.

    I want items entered on my iPhone to sync with my Outlook.  This is currently not happening.  Items entered in Outlook get "copied" to the iphone, but items entered on my iphone while away from my PC do not get sync'd to my Outlook.  Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is?

    I had the same issue until I updated my apps through iTunes. I had over 100 updates, but none of them showed on my iPod. After they updated everything started syncing like it is supposed. Go to the apps library and check for updates. After everything syncs leave your iPhone/ipod/ipad connected if the spinning arrows at the top is still spinning. It means that things are still being added. If you go to settings > general > about, you will see it loading songs, videos, photos, etc. If you back out of "about" and then go back to it you will see the numbers for each one change.

  • Which way does iTunes sync with iPhone

    I have a playlist in iTunes that syncs with the same list on my iPhone. The playlist contains MP3s that are mostly talk radio. When playing an MP3 in iTunes, pausing it, then syncing with the iPhone, I can pickup at the pause spot on the iPhone. However, if I'm playing an MP3 on the iPhone from that same list, pause it, sync, iTunes seems to ignore this and starts from the beginning. Does the "Remember Playback" feature only work from iTunes -> iPhone for syncing?

    not just not sync it does not recognize the windows itunes recognizes not only the most work when he wants ¬ ¬

  • Itunes Syncing with Iphone

    On my home PC (Windows XP) I have Itunes V9. I have a new iphone (16GB), when I attach the phone to the desktop, it is recognised, it connects and is visible within itunes, however the only option I have off the phone device is to eject.
    I woudl liek to try to download songs from my itunes library to the phone, this does include imported CD's how can this be successfully completed

    You start by reading the iPhone manual ... what you are describing is the basic functioning of iTunes so I am not sure what your difficulty is. You select the music to sync and press sync on the general tab. Was there something else you were expecting to happen ?

  • Itunes synced my iphone to an older version?

    I've hooked my iphone up to put some music on it to have it automatically synced by itunes. It has resulted in losing contacts, messages and put me back to an older version of ios!! What do I do to restore it to the way it was before it synced? I have tried looking for it in backup but the only backups listed are from March and just now!!

    If you don't have a backup to work with simply restore unit as new.
    Plugin into iTunes select iPhone on the left end side and go to summary pan and choose restore.
    At the end when setting up the iPhone and asked to setup as new or restore from iTunes or iCloud backup, choose setup as new.
    That should put you on the current iOS version 5.1.1
    To be honest that is very wired since normally apple does not have any way to downgrade the iOS version, and if you try to restore form a backup from a different iOS versions that will bring the data but not the iOS.
    Any way try that...
