My iPhone 4S won't sync with my macbook pro version 10.9.1

I got my Macbook for christmas (2013) and my iphone 4s (2011). When I plug my iphone into my old macbook (2007) it works fine but when I try plugging it into my new macbook (2013) it keeps dinging until I unplug it from computer. Sometimes an error message will pop up in iTunes. It won't sync at all. I haven't backed up my iPhone lately and I'm afraid I'll lose a lot of recent stuff. My old macbook was too slow to handle all my data and photos from my iphone.
Help me please!

I wish I had a solution.  I have a 4S.  It synced fine with my PC, but now I have a Macbook Air and when I try to sync it simply flashes "Trust Computer?" on and off.  I have tried rebooting, resetting, etc.  Nothing works.  I am really surprised that Apple has not been able to address this, as I have found other discussions of the same problem back to 2012.

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • IPad won't sync with my Macbook Pro and iPhone through iCloud

    Since I have activated iCloud my Mac Book pro are syncing contact and iCal fine.  However, I can't get my iPad to sync with either.  I have all the setting set on my iPad for syncing via iCloud but the syncing is not working either way.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I fixed my problem but not sure how. I got rid of a duplicate email not Mac. Don't think that was it. I did go in and switched all my data to 15 minutes and then back to push. Then suddenly mt iPad synced. I think the key was I looked at other sync problem posts and tried to make sure all my iPad settings were the same s those on my phone and iMac that were syncing

  • ITunes keeps taking new songs off my iPhone 4s when wirelessly synced with my MacBook Pro. How do I stop this??

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and whenever my phone is close enought to my computer to wirelessly sync, it takes all my new songs I just added within the last week off my iPhone and I have to connect it with the cord and sync it to get it all back. Why does it do this? I'm getting very annoyed at having to do this multiple times a day just to keep the new stuff I added on my phone..

  • IMessage won't sync with new macbook pro

    I purchased a Macbook pro today and I can't seem to get my iMessages that I have on m iPhone 6 onto my mac. Calendar and mail are working.

    Hi,
    It will "Sync" (or rather "display on all devices") only from the time you set it up.
    It will not grab "historical" iMessages.

  • IPhone 5c won't sync with my Macbook

    As of last night after downloading a few songs, I tried to sync my iPhone 5c (with the latest update) to my Macbook (also with the latest updates on both software and iTunes) to get the songs. Didn't work. It'd do the do you trust this computer/iPhone and I'd click yes and it'd connect for a solid 6 seconds and disconnect automatically (didn't click any buttons, I swear I'm not that technologically incompetent). Figuring maybe the error is my laptop, I tried syncing it to a mac desktop but yet again, would not work but instead of the trust pop-up it just told me to update my iPhone's iTunes.
    Honestly extremely frustrated right now and would really appreciate if someone could help me out. I read other articles of people having similar issues

  • HT1349 My new iPhone 4S won't sync to my MacBook Pro.  I installed the latest version of iTunes but it doesn't recognize my phone when I connect with USB.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    It's strange, on my work issued Windows laptop I have no issues syncing my iPhone to iTunes.  But on my personal MacBook, iTunes does not pick up my iPhone when I connect via USB.  Any advice on this please?

  • My iPhone 5 won't sync with the Nike Plus sensor

    My iPhone 5 won't sync with Ike Plus sensor, new or old.

    Hello bfelix,
    You may need to switch 'Nike + iPod' off in your Settings, then re-enabling it. Make sure that the sensor is not in sleep mode (which can be corrected by pressing the small button on the side opposite the Nike and Apple logos). Depending on the age of the sensor, however, the battery may be depleted.
    Make sure you have the latest version of... iPhone... software and iTunes installed.
    Make sure the sensor is not in sleep mode by using a pen or stylus to press the Sleep/Wake button on your sensor once to wake it up.
    On your home screen, tap Settings.
    Scroll down and tap the Nike + iPod option.
    Disable the Nike + iPod feature and then re-enable it by tapping the On/Off button at the top of the page.
    Place the sensor back in the shoe and walk around to activate the sensor as you attempt to relink it to your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS.
    If the issue persists and you have access to another sensor, link the new sensor to your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS. If you can link the new sensor to your iPod touch or iPhone, take in your first sensor for service.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1400
    The Nike + iPod Sensor's battery is not replaceable or rechargeable and has a life of over a thousand active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power-management system, allowing the sensor to consume power only when active (that is, when it senses motion).

  • My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

    My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
    I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
    Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
    So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
    How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

    Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    Safari 4.0.3 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum.  The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

  • HT1386 Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Outlook calendar.  Has any one else seen this?

    Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Calendar in XP Outlook.  Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?  I've already made sure the proper check boxes are on in Itunes and tried the reset sync history.  Also re-downloaded Itunes again.  Same problem.

    Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

    Is the device recognized in iTunes? What happens when you try to sync? What have you done to try and correct it? Before anyone can recommend anything, they need to know a little more information.
