Lion installed now iPhone won't sync.

Lion installed. During iPhone 3gs sync, Lion crashed.  Cycled power.  Restored iPhone.  Now when I try to sync iPhone, I get an error message "The iPhone cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found".  Help ?

OK ..got it working.  Your right, there was a problem with the iPhotos database.   By holding down command-option while starting iPhotos, I was prvided a screen that allowed me to check off a bunches of boxes that would kick off a rebuild of all kinds of iPhoto stuff.  It took a while but when completed I was able to sync my iPhone without error.  FYI, the iPhoto database rebuild said I had one photo that was missing in iPhotos (whatever that means) ..and it let do a repair.
Thanks

  • Moved media to external drive and now iphone won't sync!

    Hi friends
    I recently posted this question here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5301334?start=0&tstart=0
    And Chris was very helpful, but I still can't get it to sync.
    The update is that I have now successfully updated my ipod nano and my ipad, but when I plug in my iphone 4s, it goes through the syncing motions, then says "cancelling sync" when it gets to step 6 of 6.
    Here is my original post. Please help! :
    I recently moved ALL of my media (music, movies, etc) to my external Seagate 1TB hard drive to free up 200+ gig on my Macbook pro. I followed all of the steps, everything works perfectly, iphone is recognized and syncs all playlists, apps, etc EXCEPT it won't add any new music since the transfer.
    So for instance, I added a new playlist for the new NIN album. It sits in the exact same place as all of my other music, but when I sync the phone, it only syncs the older media and NIN is nowhere to be found on the iphone.
    I've scoured every message board and blog I can find and can't seem to find the answer.
    Anyone??

    I updated itunes and my iphone with the new IOS7 last night and phone will still not sync with itunes.

    I'm asking nicely - please help!!!

  • Reinstalled OS, now iPhone won't sync with iTunes library

    Hi all,
    I recently had to reinstall Tiger on my iMac G5 because Leopard kept crashing it. The iMac is where I have all of my photos and music (I use Leopard on my macbook but I don't have the media on there). When I try to sync my iPhone now, iTunes tells me that this iPhone is registered to a different library and if I want to sync it with this library, I need to erase everything on the iPhone. I do not wish to do this, so I have two questions...
    1. Is it possible to back-up EVERYTHING (notes, web apps, photos not taken with the iphone camera, ringtones, etc) onto my computer so that I CAN do an erase and install?
    2. Is there a way to get the library and the phone to recognize each other as having the same owner as they did before so I can just sync the two and not erase anything?
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    The recently installed os replaced the iphone settings in itunes so when you connect the iphone to the computer now, itunes has no record of it being previously connected.
    So, the only way to sync it to the computer now is to let it erase and re-sync.
    Hope this helps.

  • Updated to version 7.0.3 and now iphone won't sync with MacBook

    Hi
    I have an iphone 4S which worked perfectly with my MacBook 4,1.  That is, until I upgraded my phone to 7.0.3!!!
    Now itunes wants me to upgrade to the latest version for me to be able to sync my phone, but my MacBook, which is updated in it's software, isn't able to do so because of it's model number. 
    Does anyone know how I can get back to that perfect syncing ability I had, without purchasing a new computer?
    Thanks for your input!

    Are you sure the update is done?
    You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

    I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
    With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
    With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

  • Just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s

    I just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s.. I have tried EVERYTHING. I completely uninstalled & reinstalled my itunes 2 times. Everything is completely up to date, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it makes the normal beep sound, and charges, but will not sync or show on iTunes so that I can sync anything..

    Hey ksooter,
    I know you have said you have tried everything but have you tried out some of the troubleshooting in the article below? For instance, have you checked the Apple Mobile Device support is installed properly and if the Apple Mobile Device is installed? Take a look at the article below to double check some of the things you have done to see if you can get your iPhone to show back up.

  • IPhone won't sync after installing Leopard

    Hi,
    This weekend I updated my Mac Mini's system to 10.5.5 from 10.4.11 and I discovered that my iPhone won't sync now. I do get the little bleep sound when I plug it in and it will charge, but it won't sync. I have tried rebooting both the Mac Mini and the iPhone, but to no avail. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks much,
    David

    1) Try re-installing iTunes

  • I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

    I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • Just updated iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2, now it won't sync with iphoto 9.4.3

    Just updated iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2  (from some version of iOS 6), now it won't sync with iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MacBook pro (running OS 10.8.5). I plug it in and iPhoto recognizes the iPhone but only displays a 'Loading..." message next to the 'New Photos' page.
    Tried it also on my older Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8  and iPhoto 9.2.3 and same problem.
    Any ideas? Already tried rebooting both devices.

    I have same problem but with iPhoto 9.5.1

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • My iphone 5 was 'restored' and now it won't sync with my mac calendar

    my iphone 5 was 'restored' and now it won't sync with my mac calendar

    Have you tried resetting your device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the "Slide to Unlock" screen redisplays, see if your issue is resolved.
