MacBook 4,1 won't sync with iphone 4S since I updated to 7.0.3

I have a macbook 4,1. It's operating system is updated and it's running on OS v10.5.8.
I use an iphone 4S and it synced perfectly with my macbook until I updated it to OS 7.0.3.
Now my macbook tells me I need the latest version of itunes in order to sync my phone with my mac - but my macbook can't do the update.
I'd like to go back to the old operating system on my iphone, and from what I've read that's impossible. What are my options? I don't have the money to buy a new macbook.
Thanks for your input!

Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

Please,please, help,
My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5. How can I refresh them so they will all sync together. I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro. I turned iCloud off then on again. I also turned calendars on and off again. Then the event disappeared from my iPad also. So now it is only on my iPhone 5. How do I sync ical with all my devices?

Anna,
I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
(I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)
Jenn T. "jtrip1111"

I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.

Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone

I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Then it is not a bootleg!
I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone. I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch. WHy can't I get these songs on there?
It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate.
First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer. If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version." Use the new AAC version with your iPhone.

it is so frustrating as it is supposed to be easy to sync apple products!
any ideas?
thanks again
ian

Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
Much appreciated John,

Playlists won't sync with iPhone

Playlists created in iTunes 11.3 won't sync with my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1.2. I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4 and connecting the iPhone via USB.
Playlists created in the iPhone will sync to iTunes but if I add songs in iTunes, they are not added to the iPhone during sync.
Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

MacBook Pro won't sync with iPhone but iPhone does

Since upgrading MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and each of iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.2, whilst appointments made on iPhone and iPad appear on Calendar in MacBook Pro, those made on MacBook Pro don't appear in Calendars on my iPhone and iPad. Tried iTunes sync with cable, WiFi while connected to power, have read Forums, etc but no luck. Effectively "One way sync" only. Has any one else experienced and rectified this issue??

Itunes 10.5.2 won't sync with Iphone 3g (4.2.1)

My iPhone won't sync to with my MacBook running iTunes 10.5.2. I have an older iPod that syncs fine. The iPad 2 syncs fine. But the phone just doesn't show up. No error message, it just doesn't show up. The iPhone shows that it's charging so the USB port is good. Anybody have this problem?

1 file in iTunes on Mac won't sync with iPhone 3GS

I have one big mp3 file (around 100 MB) that's in iTunes 9.2.1 on my Macbook that won't automatically sync with my iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1).
When I turn 'manage manually' on, I can drag this file to the iPhone and that does work.
But when I turn 'manage manually' off again, the next sync this file is removed again from my iPhone.
Any ideas how to solve this? I removed the file from iTunes and reloaded it back in, but no luck.

Thanks. I checked that already and the weird thing is, that is says 'Music' there, but in list view in iTunes it's ranked under 'Podcast' (in the Artist column). When I imported the file in iTunes, it was correctly categorized under the right artistname (not in 'Podcast'), but after syncing with my iPhone it was suddenly categorized as a podcast.
Weird...

Some videos from Aperture won't sync with iPhone

All the photos from Aperture (about 14,000) sync just fine to my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2, as do 282 of the 289 videos I have in Aperture. However, there are 7 videos that will not sync; after the sync process, iTunes gives me an error message that the video couldn't be synced since they couldn't be played back on the iPhone or iPad. The videos are all 50MB or less, all in the proper .m4v format using the H.264 codec. Other videos taken with the same camera and converted using HandBrake to .m4v using H.264 sync just fine. The videos play back just fine in Aperture, QuickTime, and iTunes.
I have tried removing all photos from the phone and re-adding them. I have tried deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder from the Aperture library package. I have reinstalled iTunes. I even tried re-converting them in HandBrake to another .m4v file using H.264 but that wouldn't sync either. No matter what I try, these same 7 videos won't sync for some reason, even though similar videos, some from the same exact camera, converted the same exact way, sync just fine.
Anybody experiencing anything similar? More importantly, anybody have a fix or solution? Thanks in advance!

Looks like its a software issue with the latest Itunes patch. I see several people are reporting this problem on the page and yet no solutions currently exist to address it. I tried several possiblities myself with no success. The only remaining solutions I can see are to "reset" your device and try to sync all appropriate apps, music, photos, etc.. once again. Two wait for the next patch, or three to attempt a recovery from a previous back up on your computer.
I do not have the time currently to attempt the ones I can do. If anyone wishes to try and can report a success I think many of us would appreciate it.

ITunes Freezes, Won't Sync With iPhone

I am relatively new to the Macbook family. Since I have purchased my Macbook air, the only complaint I have had is with iTunes. I have every upgrade that has been pushed out. The problem started when I first imported my library from an external hardrive, nothing would copy over, I reformatted the drive to work better with the Macbook and lost 8000+ songs. No big deal to me because it was time to clean a lot of the collection out. Now the external hardrive is fresh and formatted correctly. I have changed my library location to the hardrive and my music will show up in the library and play. However, it freezes all the time. The other issue I have is when I try to sync my iPhone 5 nothing will copy over, it starts then just gives me a message that itunes could not copy to iphone because the file could not be read or written. It makes no sense to me since all the files will play. Not sure what to do, I've done a million searches and nothing. I hate to say it by my iTunes, external harddrive and iPhone all worked flawlessly on my Windows machine. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I make a call to Apple Care.
Thanks!
