ITunes sync with cable problem (WiFi sync works OK though)

When I connect my Iphone 4S to iTunes (win 7 premium 64bit) and sync songs/images, they end up all halfcomplete and glitchy on my iphone.
For example: Songs are incomplete and glitchy (begins in the middle of the song when played etc.)
Some images are totally black, or half glitch pixelated etc.
Ive tried with another cable/USB-ports, still same problem. Thinking about trying another computer but since the iphone can only sync to one iTunes at a time, its quite inconvienient..
When I WiFi-sync it syncs OK though.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Computer, iphone hardware etc?

Plug your phone in with the cable - then in your device menu, you'll see "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" as an option in Summary page under Options. The rest will be history.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I've tried reseting my sync accounts the way all of the help articles say, but my computer and two android devices just will not sync with this new FF Sync version.
I've tried unregistering the device sync accounts, removing the accounts, reinstalling FF on all devices, etc.
Nothing works. Please help.

Hi mongoose00318,
On the android devices in the Account section of your OS settings, please make sure that the account is not listed under "Firefox Sync (deprecated)" this is the old sync. Firefox for Android may need to be reinstalled and the Firefox Sync (depricated) account removed from the device.
NOTE: DO NOT do this if there is data on the devices that have not obviously synced yet. An alternative is to visit accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged into the device on the new sync sign in page.
Does this help?

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Have you searched the forums for similar issues and possible resolutions.

ITunes sync with iPhoto Problem

Hi everybody,
i'm experiencing a tedious issue with iTunes and the iPhoto syncronization with i-devices.
I'm running iTunes 10.4 , iPhoto 9.1.5 and i have an iPhone 4 and an iPad both running iOS 4.3.5.
When i sync my iPhone with iTunes i usually chose only 3 separated iPhoto events and no problems occurs in copying the photos on the device.
When i sync my iPad instead i get the following problem:
the same as with the iPhone i choose a limited number of iPhoto events to sync with the iPad but the photos count shown in the iTunes screen is a lot different then the real number of the photos in the iPhoto events. To be clear:
Event 1 contains 300 photos in iPhoto
In the syncing screen of iTunes for the iPad Event 1 contains only 3 photo.
As a result only 3 photo are transferred to the iPad.
I tried to repair and rebuild the iPhoto library (alt+cmd+start iphoto) selecting all the options except the rebuild database from backup option. Nothing changed.
I tried to reset iphoto syncing with the iPad doing as follow:
connect iPad
select "don'y sync photos"
choose "Erase all photo from the Device"
disconnect
Reboot both devices
reconnect iPad
choose sync again.
Nothing changed again
At last i tried to erase the content of the "ipod photo cache" folder as suggested in other threads in this forums but when i reconnected the iPad and tried to resync nothing changed.
Beaside that i tried even to control and repair permissions on the entire HD with Disc Utility but again i had no differences with the problem.
Does anybody experienced the same problem? There is any known solution? Anything else i could try?
Thanks everybody in advance for any support given.
Giuliano.

I am having a similar issue. My iPhone 4, my wife's iPhone 3GS and my iPad 2 will start to sync with iTunes on my MacBook (running Lion) and when it begins to import photos from iPhoto, I get a (-50) error and the sync quits. Some events sync just fine but others trigger the error message.
I have deleted the iPod Photo Cache, reinstalled iTunes, reinstalled iPhoto, repaired and rebuilt my iPhoto library, restored my iPhone to factory settings, repaired permissions on my MacBook and anything else I could think of or found in previous postings. Nothing has worked.
Please help! This is incredibly frustrating and no one at Apple has been able to help. Thank you!

ITunes 10.7.0.21 Wifi sync with iPhone 4S

Hi,
Sine IOS6 upgrade my iTunes 10.7.0.21 does not detact my iPhone for Wifi sync.
Wifi connection of iPhone works fine, a ping to the IP does also work.
What can I do to solve the problem ?
I connected the iPhone through USB, disabled Wify sync, restart, enabled Wifi sync, restarted and iTunes still does not find the iPhone.
USB sync works.
Is there something I am missing to do ?
Regards,
Jerry

I'm having the same issue, running 10.7 and with both a new iPad and an iPhone 5 (both running iOS 6). Windows 7 64-bit FWIW. Also of note, it was working with only minor hickups on the most recent version of 10.6 (although sometimes iTunes wouldn't "recognize" my iPhone or iPad), and I've told the firewall (Symantec Endpoint Protection) to allow the wifi MAC addresses for both iDevices. Hopefully this is fixed with iTunes 11, although syncing is less and less relevant.

TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

WiFi Sync with iOS 5 doesn't work with Airport Express used as a wifi extender?

So in our apartment we have an Airport base station that doesn't reach all the way to the bedrooms, so we use an Airport Express as a wifi extender/repeater. The Wifi sync doesn't work when connected to the Airport Express. My iPhone and iTunes can't find each other. But if I'm sitting next to the base station it works just fine. Is there a workaround for this to get wifi sync working in my bedroom? I've updated both Airports to the latest firmware versions.
Thanks
Byron

Well, never mind. It magically started working.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes Installed on your computer ( v 11.1)
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
On your Computer... Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...

My Temp Work around for my Outlook Sync with Z10 - Not Ideal but works.

I like many on this forum was pissed that Outlook Sync was not included with BlackBerry Link.. I was fortunate to transfer all my contacts & calendars from my Old Torch 9810 without a problem. The problem is that I need to sync my calendar and updated contacts on a regular bases. I use Outlook 2010 for all my 1400 contacts and Calendar. There is no way I am going to use any cell phone to update this amount of data. I have owned the Z10 since Tuesday Morning and that afternoon I was ready to take it back and I am a die hard BB user.. My wife has an Iphone 5, nice toy, but wont work for my business.. Seriously considered Android phone, but they also have their issues with the Outlook sync via USB..
But after 6 Days with the Z10, I must say I love it. .Didn't at first, but once you figure out, it is truly impressive.. Also love the virtual keyboard, very accurate and amazing.. Love the fact that I can have multiple applications running at the same time.. I use web pages that I need for work as an active screen and a button on my home page.
While waiting for a 3rd party application to implement this (Campanion Link & Deja Office) or to have BB realize that this is serious and add it in their BB link soon.. Cloud is not an option for me.
This is the temporary solution I have right now.
Option 1:
1. Wipe off all my Data of my old BB 9810. Make sure lates OS is installed. Delete all contacts. Sync with Outlook but from PC to Phone Only.. Use BB link to transfer the Contacts and Calendar to the Z10. This will replace any contact you have on the z10..
Option 2:
Forward any contacts from your outlook as vcard to your Z10 as email. Click on the .vcard and it will add to contacts.
Again this is a temp soltuion without 3rd party software or Icloud until BB adds this to BB link.

Yes it's back! ( and works! ) Thank you Apple!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sometimes it's just the simple things...
My world is put back....
