Message: "phone device is not connected" cannot sync calendar

I have been trying to sync my new iphone. Seems succesful except for my ical. I keep getting several messages:
cannot be synced because a) the device is not connected (believe me it is!!!) or b) the required disc cannot be found c) your iphone disconnected
Any ideas on what to do?

Try:
1) unplugging the USB/iPhone cord, hub from your mac.
2) Run Disk Utilities and Repair disk permissions on your mac.
3) Restart the mac. Plug the USB 2.0 cable/dock to iPhone, try again.
If this doesn't work, try Resetting the iPhone. If all of this doesn't help, try RESTORING the iPhone software via iTunes.
good luck!

  • Creative Zen Micro "Device is not connect

    When attaching MP3 player to my PC the Creative software does not start automatically and when I try to drag music files on to MP3 player get message "The device is not connected". When I try to install MP3 player get the following message "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click reinstall driver". When I click on this option (reinstall driver) get the following message "Windows was unable to locate the software for this device".
    I appear to have loaded the software that enables us to transfer tracks from a CD but cannot then get these across to the MP3 player as the PC does not recognise the device. However, when I loaded the software I did get the following message during the installation process "An error occurred while setting up the driver. Setup Nomad Jukebox 2,3,Zen, Zen NX, ZenXtra, Zen Touch and Zen Micro Driver". Not sure if this is related to the MP3 player not being recognised by the PC.
    Downloaded driver "JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE from Creative site but did not appear to help situation.
    My PC is a Dell Dimension 400, OS Windows Millennium, Pentium 933Mhz, 256MB memory.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Many thanks

    Many thanks to SSR who replied to my query. Followed instructions and can now transfer files to MP3. Once again many thanks for your help. Cannot guarantee I will not be back for more advice so dont go away!!!

  • Firmware update: "The device is not connected to the USB por

    Hi, I have a MuVo TX SE GB and I tried to load the new .22.03e firmware on it with a Windows XP SP2 PC. But when I connected the device, and started the firmware updater, it searched for a minute or so, and then the reset question appeared. I clicked OK and then I heard the USB sounds and the new hardware wizard appeared. I followed the wizard, but when it was installing the drivers, a message: "The device is not connected to the USB port" appeared, and the firmware updater closed. The hardware installed fine. But when I try to load the firmware again, the reset question doesn't appear, but I hear the USB sounds, and i get the same message again. I also tried connecting the player in recovery mode but that doesn't help. The player won't turn on. When I connect it, the player is listed in My computer, but I can't open it. What should I do, and how can I load new firmware properly?

    What version of iTunes is on the computer? You need at least 11.4.

    I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Okay ... it's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start the Apple Mobile Device Service, but we'd better check for a LSP issue, as per the following document:

  • After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  the device is not connected."  but it is connected.

    I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  The device is not connected."
    The device is connected, what is wrong here?

    This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
    To solve this problem, follow these steps.
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
    3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
    Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

  • TS1398 My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet.  It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

    My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet.  It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HT1386 HELP -- "The ipod cannot be synced. The device is not connected"

    Just got a 1st gen ipod & trying to Sync it, it just keeps saying "The ipod cannot be synced. The device is not connected" -- the device IS connected, it even says the ipod is there on iTunes, but won't Sync. Also, iTunes is up-to-date (just checked) so not that. Been trying since last night, so I know turning the PC off & back on or restarting doesn't work either.
    It's also saying the HDD isn't connected -- which it is because I can access it & iTunes can play songs from it.
    Not sure if this detail is of use, but I'm running Windows 7.... My iPod is running iOS 4.2.1
    Please help, im stuck! :-/
    PS.
    This is my first ipod, so please don't assume I already know anything about Apple products -- I won't be offended if you go into ipod basics lol.

    Appears to be fixed.
    Moved all music recorded at 128bit or less to different location.
    Moved video files to different location.
    Synced sections of iTunes collection individually: Only Music, then Podcasts, etc.
    Seems to be working fine.  Apps also came over without changes.
    ????  Only thing missing is my PLAYLISTS.
    ????    Someone know where they reside on my old HD list and why they did not come over?

    I cannot synch movies to my iPad.  This has worked for me in the past.  I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet.  Yet, I certainly am.  How else could I post this message.  I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet.  I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help. 

    I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
    Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
    Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

    I am getting this error message after upgrading to iOS5: "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad "ray's iPad" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined."
    I wiped it out and restored from backup but I am still getting the same message.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that fixed it. Here are the specific instructions that I was given.
    ~~~
    Try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

    Good Luck!
