my iphone 3 will not sync with itunes, it says Apple mobile device is not started, also doing it with ipad - can anyone help??? thanks

Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

  • TS3694 was downloading up on Iph 5 & screen frozen with itunes logo & pic of cord, can't restore online, tried to power down ph, any ideas??

    Does anyone know how I can get my I-phone to reset?

    You want it in recovery mode, not DFU, which is used for hacking or on already hacked phones

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Bought alot of games via iphone, not synced to itunes and mobile crashes*

    Hi!
    i Bought alot of games via iphone, wich i have not synced to itunes and my phone crasched! I restored it but now i dont have any apps/games. What do i do? Doesnt itunes save a list of apps that i have bought?

    Your list of purchases is available if you log into your account in iTunes on your computer. You can also re-download apps for free (though you will have to find them yourself in the app store, iTunes won't find them for you) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    No, it does not.  It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer.  The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

  • When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

    When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
    But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
    How do I figure out what is not syncing?

    Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you.  I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again.  To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

  • My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

    My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • 3GS Voice Memo appears in phone will not sync to iTunes

    Yes, I'm on an antiquated phone but refuse to switch until a real 4G iPhone is released!
    I recorded a very important interview yesterday. No matter what I do it will not sync to iTunes on my MBP. I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iTunes 10 with all updates applied.
    I have gone through the recommended steps in other threads such as:
    Consolidate my library.
    Deleted playlists and re-created them.
    Deselect sync items - sync - select sync items - sync
    No go to all options. The memo is 30 minutes and too large to SMS or mail. Fortunately it's still on the phone, but i need to get it to my Mac to edit excepts and publish. Any suggestions?

  • Iphone 4 not syncing to itunes

    My iphone 4 will not sync to itunes. itunes recognizes it but when i sync, it will say that the syncing failed to start. Any advice?

    I am having a problem with my iPhone 4 not syncing to iTunes in Win 7. It says "cannot read contents of iPhone, please click on restore to reset the iPhone to original factory setting."
    I have tried many possible solutions but still the problem persists.
    Including
    1.  Reinstalling iTunes
    2.  Power cycling my iPhone
    3.  Disengaging the iPhone automatic synchronization in iTunes
    4.  Deleting all previous iPhone sync backups
    5.  "Resetting the sync backups"
    6.  "Resetting the network settings" on my iPhone
    FYI
    1.  Ironically, I am able to copy my pictures and videos from the iPhone using Windows Explorer.
    2.  All of the music was strangly deleted from my iPhone
    3.  The problem appears to have coincided when I installed iTunes 10 on August 31st.
    4.  At the time of that the problem surfaced, I had used almost all of the 32 GB of memory on my iPhone and was not able to take iPhone videos because of an error message that my "memory was full" [I have since deleted 5 GB of Apps from my iPhone and it currently says I have 4.5 GB of free space when it is shown in Windows Explorer].
    5.  The Hotspot feature on my iPhone abruptly stopped working around the same time that the problem surfaced. When I was last able to use the Hotspot feature, my iPhone indicated that there were actually 2 devices connected to my iPhone 4 Hotspot. But I have never given out my password, so possibly my iPhone was accessed by an unauthorized user.
    How do I fix this "will not read contents of the iPhone issue?

  • I-Pad 4 will not sync to itunes using a PC

    My ipad and my iphone will not sync to itunes.  when i plug it in the devices do not appear in itunes and itunes does not pop up automatically.  on my ipad under itunes wi-fi sync it says that sync will resume when "india-PC" is available.

    Now I see that you have wi-fi syncing set up.  I see that because your first post says "under iTunes wifi sync ...".
    So if you do not want to wifi sync, turn it off.  When your i-device is plugged into iTunes, look on the summary page of your device and uncheck "sync with this i[Phone or Pad] over wifi".  Instead, check "Automatically sync with the i[Phone, Pad[ when this device is connected".
    Then plug your device into iTunes, and let it sync!
    If you do want to wirelessly sync, then note these things from the User Manual:
    Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on the computer, select your iPhone (under Devices), click Summary, then turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection.”
    When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs every day. iPhone must be connected to a power source, iPhone and your computer must both be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must be open on your computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 136.
    After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPhone automatically syncs with iTunes once a day, when:
    iPhone is connected to a power source,
    iPhone and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and
    iTunes on your computer is running.
