ITunes Sync with win 8.1

My iphone will no longer complete the syncing process on my desktop. After it syncs the contacts and calendar, I get a message that the computer is no longer authorized. I have reauthorized it, deauthrorized and reauthorized it, I called Apple and was told to reinstall itunes. I did that and it still doesn't work. Now they want me to pay for further assistance. It will sync on my old laptop. It worked fine on this desktop until a couple of days ago. Any suggestions?

Hello, JimLCWV.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID.  Or the computer has not been authorized to play or sync content.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • ITunes sync with Outlook 2013 preparing to sync runs forever

    iTunes sync with Outlook 2013 preparing to sync runs forever, what is the problem?

    I have updated addresses and names in the iPhone. When I sync with Outlook it takes the updated name portion, but does not pick up the address from the iPhone. The Whitepages app (pretty handy app) will update my iPhone contact list, but I cannot then transfer that information over to my Outlook contact list. This all needs to work together. Solutions?

  • Itune sync with outlook calendar

    everytime itune sync with outlook calendar,
    a calendar folder under Outlook calendar is created.
    iphone only sync with the newly created blank folder
    therefore, nothing.

    Answer Jbieber16:
    Normally, when I sync my HTC (Pocket PC) with my notebook, I just plug USB cord to HTC (micro USB head) and notebook (regular USB head).  Microsoft Mobile Device Center will automatically start and then sync data between HTC and notebook (sync Microsoft Outlook data, musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in designated folder).
    When sync completed, Microsoft Outlook's contacts, calendar, notes, emails as well as musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in HTC and Notebook will be identical and updated.
    Without USB cord, it can be synced via Bluetooth (cordless).
    Note: I posted this question because some of my friends using iPhone told me that "data of Microsoft Outlook will partially sync to iPhone via iTune, not all data".  So I check before sync Microsoft Outlook data with my new iPad2.

  • 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.

  • My iTunes syncs with my iPod but the songs do not show up on my iPod after.

    I'm not really sure how to go about fixing it either, as iTunes says that the songs have all synced with my iPod.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
    I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
    Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
    ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
    Infuriating.
    Any ideas?

  • 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 synced with another computer after updating iTunes

    iphone 4.
    ios6
    8Gb
    I was previously running ios5 onthe above phone but downloaded the new version of itunes (accidently - if it's not broke dont fix it) when I connected my new iPod shuffle.
    Since then I have been unable to add or remove music from my phone with the required button to do so missing. In an effort to resolve I installed ios6 (groan - why?) but still have the same problem.
    The message I get when I select the tick box to manually manage music is that this library is already synced with another computer. It's NOT! I've just updated the software apple provide to make my user experience that much more pleasant - Oh the irony.
    Any takers to help out please?

    Hi there,
    Thanks for that, explains a little. I have changed my operating system to Windows 8 and I am now accessing my library from my back up drive when it was previously accessed on my main drive.
    I imagine itunes is seeing another hard drive as in your reply above. If this is the case how can it be resolved? copy my entire library into the itunes music folde as is the default setting?

  • When will itunes sync with windows 8

    when will ipod classic sync with windows 8

    Apple has not announced any updates to iTunes for Windows 8 compatibility. Perhaps iTunes 11, expected sometime this month, but we won't know until Apple provides specific system requirements and compatibility information.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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 & Sync with TV

    Hi all
    Just recently iTunes has stopped syncing with my TV's, it sees them syncs for about three seconds then stops?
    nothing is transferred and when im looking through the TV menu no items are displayed and it cant see any of my library.
    Now iv tried creating another itunes library and adding a couple of TV shows and iTunes works,syncs and all.
    But my current library doesn't sync and i am at a loss, Iv tried reorganizing,consolidating,updating and it just doesn't sync.
    I do realize this post could of gone into the TV section but i feel this is a more iTunes related issue.
    Please help i dont want to copy and setup all my playlists again with over 1TB of movie,music and TV shows.
    Thanks in advance

    I found out that ATV Gen 1 can sync with Itunes and with Gen 2-3, you can share itunes with your Apple TV with HOME SHARING option under preferences in iTunes.  Your ATV Gen 2-3 will actually prompt you to do this when setting it up.  Once I accepted HOME SHARING, the ATV worked great and accessed my iTunes library including movies rented on my MACBOOK PRO.
    Thanks!
