Itunes won't sync to my iPhone 4. It says my phone can't be recognized.

can anyone tell me what to do? itunes will not let me sync my phone to put pictures on my phone.

It is not devices, it is computers only. You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
The computer you are using is not activated with your iTunes account with iTunes? If not, is a computer available that is activated with your iTunes account? You can deactivate all computers from one computer that is activated following by activating the computer you are using now.

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • HT2729 my itunes won't sync with my iphone, what do I do?

    Simple problem that probably has a simple answer that I just can't find myself. My itunes will not sync with my iphone right now. I've done it before over wifi but now it will not and neither will it while plugged into the computer. What do I do? Am I doing something wrong?

  • My smart playlist in iTunes won't sync with my iPhone 4S

  • ITunes won't sync music to iPhone 6 Plus

    On my old 5S 32GB I had iTunes Match turned on.
    I just got a 64GB 6 Plus, set up by restoring from my 5S iCloud backup. Since I now have 64GB of space, I decided to have all my music locally again, so I turned off iTunes Match.
    I plugged my 6 Plus into my Mac and told iTunes to Sync All Music. I have about 20GB (3600 songs) of music, and I set iTunes to convert it to 128kbps when syncing, so I expected it to take a while. The blue bar at the bottom (Audio) indeed showed I'd now have 20GB of Audio on my iPhone.
    However, the sync went really quickly, and when I checked my 6 Plus, there was no music on it.
    I plugged it back in, and the blue bar had gone (i.e. saying there was no audio on the phone).
    I restarted Mac and iPhone, tried again. This time it seemed to be taking ages to sync, so I went to bed and left it. I got up this morning and sync had finished. I checked my phone, and all my albums are there, but there's no artwork, every song is greyed out, and has a Stop button next to it.
    Any idea what's going on?
    iPhone 6 Plus running 8.0, Mac Mini running latest OS X 10.9.5 and latest iTunes 11.4. Note that iTunes Match is not, and never has been, enabled on the Mac Mini.

    I am having the same issue. My new iPhone 6 plus, with iTunes Match, will not sync with my macbook pro. I keep getting a message stating the sync failed due to some songs not authorized for my computer. All of the songs were purchased under my account. So it won't sync. I need to sync my tones to my phone and I can't. I am up to date on all software updates for both.
    Did you find an answer to your problem? Has anyone else had this issue?

  • ITunes won't sync or backup iPhone 4s (os 5.1)

    In preparation for the iPhone 6 I decided to back up my iPhone 4s running ios 5.1. It's been a while since I've done a back up but it's always gone smoothly. Now nothing happens.
    I open iTunes and plugged in the iPhone (it gets recognized by iTunes and a I can see all the info/content). Then I attempt a manual backup ("Back Up Now"),  iTunes starts to sync but it stops right away and the backup doesn't proceed, no error messages. I tried backing up my iPad 2 (ios 5.1) with the same results.
    I was running an old version of iTunes and figured updating to the latest version (11.4) might solve the problem but the same thing happened to both devices.  I ended up updating the iPad 2 to ios 7.1.2 with no problems and it did the backup as part of the update.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro1,1 (Intel Core Duo, 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM).
    I've searched the discussion boards but can't find anyone mentioning this specific issue.
    Could this just be a conflict between ios 5 and iTunes? I'm reluctant to update the iPhone to ios 7 just to get the back up (the screen is cracked and I can barely navigate with the ios I'm familiar with, just want to hang on to it long enough to get a new phone).
    Any thoughts?

    Hi feet_first,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue backing up your devices in iTunes on your Mac. Do you see Device backups in iTunes preferences, on the Device tab? If not, the article linked below provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most backup issues for iOS devices.

  • My iTunes won't sync to my iPhone 5c it keeps saying error (1723)

    MY itunes wont sync to my iphone 5c it keeps coming up error 1723

    Hi thesilverunicorn,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are unable to update iTunes through the menus on your Windows computer, it may be necessary to remove iTunes and all of its components in the correct order. Once removed you can install fresh and have the latest version of iTunes.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • ITunes won't sync music to iPhone

    I have been trying for 5 days to sync music to my iPhone 4 6.1.3 I have tried ticking all of the different boxes. I have made sure "Sync Music" is ticked. When I press apply it comes up with 4 steps and then says syncing finished. But it doesn't actually copy the music. I have uninstalled itunes, reinstalled it, restarted my phone, turned the wifi off and nothing seems to be working.I don't think the problem is with my iTunes because it syncs absolutely fine to my iPad. I'm running out of ideas. I was thinking of resetting my iPhone but I don't want to lose my app history because it might not work. I don't really know what to do. Please help.

    i have the same problem, please some help

  • ITunes won't sync music to iPhone 6

    I Noticed only maybe half my music on my iPhone 6 today. So I just figured I sync and the rest of my music will be transferred. Nope it won't sync my music. I tried wiping all the music off my phone, restarted the phone and tried syncing and none of my music is being transferred. what an epic fail for Apple. If anyone has any suggestions that would much appreciated.

    i can't get mine to work either.  It says it syncs the music.   and it looks like it did.   But it's not really on there. when you click it tries to download it.
    it's broken.   you should only have to click sync once.

  • ITunes won't sync adressbook to iphone

    I have 3G iphone and Macbook Pro. The innitial setup went well and all the contacts on my adressbook synced to my iphone. But after that any additions to the iphone will not sync to my mac and so for new contacts added on my mac's adressbook. I have tried to use "Replace information on this phone:" under advanced INFO in itunes but this also does not seem to work....
    SYnc on my previous phone a SonyEriccson worked fine with iSync.
    What can i do to rectify this problem?
    Any setting I need to change or what?

    When you restore your phone, do you use your backup to restore your phone after your phone got set again? Try to restore "as new iphone" without using the backup to get your settings back. The backup might contain damaged files.
    Set up the contacts and events on your mac as desired and sync afterwards, using the option to delete the info on the phone once.

  • ITunes won't sync app to iPhone 4

    I recently purchased the Batman: Arkham City Lockdown app through the app store on my 15" macbook pro.
    When I try to sync to my iPhone 4 it just unchecks it in iTunes and doesn't sync.
    I don't know if it's related to the large file size of the app, or what but I could use some help.

    Download the app from your device instead of iTunes . The app downloaded from iTunes are affected by bugs. So download the apps from your device App Store
