My iphone 4s wont sync with itunes when i plug in it just says waiting to sync?

got m new iphone 4s ive set it up on itunes but i want to put more music on and when i plug it in it just says waiting to sync and the after about a min a message comes up with iphone cant sync because time is too long or something similar.

This happens to me from time to time using the Wifi sync (on both the iPad and iPhone). If wifi has worked before but stopped working, try "Forgetting Network" on the device and rejoining the network.

  • IPhone not syncing with iTunes when plugged in

    For the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the iPhone is supposed to automatically sync with iTunes over Wi-Fi when plugged into a power source. This is not working for me. The iTunes is connected to my phone over Wi-Fi, and the Settings are all approiate. However, the iPhone will not sync automatically; I need to manually start the sync from either iTunes or my iPhone. It's not working automatically. Does anyone know of a fix? I have a black iPhone 4S 16GB on Verizon.

    In iTunes,go to Help > Diagnostics.
    Run tests
    If the issue is device not found go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
    I ran through process to update drivers now phone is charging and recognised by my computer.
    Also if need be go to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

  • How do you prevent iPads from syncing with iTunes when managing a cart with Apple Configurator

    I am managing carts of iPads with Configurator running on a MacBook. If I open iTunes when Configurator is not open, all 30 iPads will start Syncing with iTunes. Preferences>>Devices>>Prevent Devices from Automatically Syncing is set but yet any time iTunes is opened the iPads start syncing. This does not happen if Configurator is open.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • HT1386 Syncing with iTunes when iTunes library is empty

    My laptop melted down recently and I had to restore it to factory settings. I lost my music including the iTunes library. I still have many iTunes tracks on my iPhone, but can't sync the phone with iTunes any more because a message appears saying I will lose all my iPhone tracks. How can I upload (sync) my music tracks from the iPhone to iTunes so that I have a back-up of my iPhone content?

    iTunes will not transfer music not purchased from iTunes (ripped) music from your phone to your iTunes library.  You will have to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to accomplish that.  This guide explains how to sync your phone to a new iTunes library without losing your data and settings: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

  • My iPhone 5c will not sync with iTunes when plugged in to my Macbook

    i'm pretty frustrated. My iPhone will not sync to iTunes and transfer all the music i've downloaded to my iPhone. it does not even recognize that my iPhone exists on my macbook. I have updated my computer and iPhone. turned both devices on and off. unplugged my router and plugged back in. removed 3rd party anti-virus software (as others have mentioned that). i even took it tot he apple store to plug it in to their computers and their computers recognize it. what is wrong? HELP!

    Does iTunes not recognize the iPhone is connected at all? Connecting it should result in the immediate appearance of this iPhone icon:
    Have you:
    Tried a different USB cable?
    Tried a different USB port?
    Tried logging in with startup items disabled (hold a shift key while logging in)?

  • My iphone4 will not sync with itunes. when it does sync on my computer it brings up pictures only and no music. My iphone says sync to computer but there is no way to do that. I uninstalled itunes and it didn't do any good. what can i  do?

    My iphone4 will not sync to music. IT will sync to pictures. I uninstalled itunes and put it back in but nothing. Also, itunes does not come up when i plug my phone into the computer. I have to click on itunes for it to come up. I am not sure what to do. Thanks Melani

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

  • Had to reinstall Lion.  Backed up music to external hard drive.  When I plug in iPod msg says it's synced w/another iTunes library.  Do i "erase and sync" and re-add music from the hard drive?

    Had to reinstall Lion.  Backed up my music to an external hard drive.  When I plug in my iPod a prompt msg says it's synced w/another iTunes library and asks if I want to "erase and sync" (to what is now an empty library) or "Transfer purchases".  Do i "erase and sync" and re-add music from the hard drive once that's done?

    You just need to tell iTunes where the library is located. If you want it back on your internal drive, copy the entite iTunes folder. Follow the instructions below.

    I installed iOs 6 on my New iPad. After that every time I try to synchronize the New iPad with my iMac I get the message: "This iPad can not be synchronized; an unknown error (1140)".

    How do you know? Nothing identifies which computer it is syncing with...
    Is the iMac still on the network?
    Have you connected the iPad to the Mac mini via USB and sync'd it?

  • My ipod doesn't register with itunes when i plug it in to the computer

    When I pulg my ipod classic in, itunes comes up right away, but it does not show my device connected to it so I can't add the music I've purchased to my ipod.

    Well you could've activated on your computer with Itunes and a couple of settings that'll help you.

  • I'm trying to sync more music onto my iPhone but it just says "Waiting for sync to start" and it won't go away or start the sync.

    I've tried multiple things but I just cannot get the sync to start!

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

  • I got a new computer and now all my music is gone. how do i transfer my music from my iPod touch to my new computer. right now when i plug it in, it says if i sync, i will lose everything on my itouch... PLEASE help!

    So I had an ipod touch, got a lot of my music from my old CD's that i later threw away, then got a new computer and lost all my music on my itunes, but still have it all on my itouch. I just simply want to get my music from my itouch to my computer. I now have a iphone and it would be nice to put some of that music on my phone as well.
    Hope someone can help me!!!
    thanks,
    Sophia

    While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
    Copy music
