My Iphone 5 quit syncing

Anyone having trouble getting new music and podcast to Iphone after update? When I sync it actually took some music off the phone, but my library still has everything.

If you mean iMessage, that doesn't have anything to do with iCloud. Using iMessage does not use or require an iCloud account.
If one of your devices stopped receiving iMessage conversations from the other you may need to turn iMessage off and back on by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tapping the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

IPhone quit syncing with Outlook after disabling iCloud

I have a new iPhone. I hooked it up with a cable to my laptop running Win 7 and did a sync using iTunes with Outlook Pro Plus 2010. Everything sync'd fine (calendar, contacts, notes). I did several syncs. I decided to try syncing with iCloud and so installed iCloud on the pc and turned sync on the phone. It didn't do what I thought it would so I turned it off (selected off on the iphone and uninstalled iCloud off the laptop). At this point, I said I did not want data from iCloud saved on my phone for calendar, but I think I said to save it for the other two apps. I then noticed that I no longer had a "calendar" listed under my calendars (I still have some internet calendars I have linked to), but not the default calendar. I can only save new items to one of the internet calendars. There isn't a "add calendar" button on the phone to add more calendars on the phone - only to add calendars with outlook.com, exchange, gmail, etc.
I tried syncing to Outlook, but it will no longer sync. It will sync notes and contacts fine (I tested both and it seems to be working fine). I have tried closing and rebooting both pc and phone, uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, resetting sync in itunes, setting sync to push data from the pc to the phone. I turned iCloud sync on for calendar and then shut it back off...but this time, I told it to save the data on the phone. The "calendar" saved from pc showed up on the phone. However, it won't sync with Outlook. In iTunes, it was showing two "calendars" with both selected. I added a new calendar at that point on the phone called calendar. I deleted the other calendars that iCloud added - but still no luck on syncing. After deleting all the iCloud calendars and the added calendar, the two listings in iTunes went away (when syncing was working, there weren't any individual calendars listed in iTunes).
I think the issue is from 1 of 2 things: 1) something got messed up with they sync and it is trying to sync to a blank calendar in my outlook - not looking at the default calendar (unlikely) 2) it can't sync with the phone because the default calendar no longer exists on the phone (likely).
Any ideas on how to recover the default calendar or how to fix the sync issue? I have been trying to find all I can on the internet, but after troubleshooting for several hours, I am at a loss.
Thanks

I figured out how to recover the calendar and get syncing again (or at least a work around), so thought I would post in case someone else has the issue. To recover the calendar, you need to log out of all calendars on the iPhone and it will recreate the default calendar. When you try to log back into another calendar, it will ask if you want to delete the default and warn that there may be duplicates by not deleting it. Since it was blank, duplicates wasn't a concern.
To recover syncing again, I looked up where the sync files are stored. I copied all folders that looked like they had anything to do with syncing to a temporary folder in case I had issues that I needed to recover from. I then went in and deleted all the sync files I could find from the date I tried to use iCloud. I also deleted the sync database which caused iTunes to not be able to sync correctly. Next, I did a repair on iTunes. When it came back up, it allowed me to reset everything up as if I hadn't sync'd the phone before. It seems to now be working again.

ICal quit syncing on iPhone, won't switch back 'on'

My iCal calendars quit syncing with my iPhone.
When I go to iCloud Settings on the iPhone, the calendar sync switch is turned off. I turn it back on and then the Settings close instantly almost like the app is crashing. I return to the Settings and the switch for syncing calendars is still off. All the other iCloud functions seem to be working fine.
I've tried restarting the iPhone, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have a possible solution?
Thanks!

I'm not sure it will help, but you could try force-closing the Calendar app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Calendar in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again. Then for good measure restart your phone again.

My iphone quit working I am getting a new one under warranty. How do I know if my contacts were backed up

My iPhone quit working and I am getting a new one, how do I know if my contacts ere backed up?

Did you have it set up to sync Contacts to iCloud? If so you can log in to https://www.icloud.com and see that they are there.
If you just backed up to iTunes or iCloud then there isn't a way to visually verify the contacts other than doing a restore. One exception to that is that if you used iTunes for the backup, there are 3rd party extractor programs that can display the contacts.

3G quit syncing correctly with Outlook 2007 calendar

I haven't changed a thing but my iPhone 3G quit syncing correctly with Calendar in Outlook 2007. The times are correctly entered in Outlook but after syncing the times are off an hour. Some are missing altogether.

Hey Andy,
Try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 they will resolve most calendar syncing issues in Windows.
Also make sure you have the Microsoft DST update installed.

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.
iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

Iphone ical sync producing multiple entries

I am having big trouble syncing my iphone with my iCal on my mac. It used to work perfectly, and I can't figure out what changed. Any calendar entries added to iCal produce at least two duplicate entries on my iphone once synced.
Please, please, please, somebody help me before I jump!

I am having the same problem. The first time I synched my iCal to my iPhone when I bought it, everything worked fine. Once I added a new event to the iCal, it does not sync any more. Anything I add on the iPhone does sync to the iCal, but anything added on my iCal does not sync to the iPhone.
To make matters worse, I also noted that now whatever I add to my iCal I lose when I quit out of iCal; when I reopen iCal all the new events are gone. This happens regardless of synching with my iPhone, but is a problem that developed after first synching to the iPhone.
I have tried:
~ clearing the sync history, twice, and that did not work.
~ checking under iTunes-Info-Advanced "Replace Information on this iPhone" and checking Calendar, and that did not work.
~ deleting iTunes and re-installing it (as suggested on MacWorld http://www.macworld.com/article/134577/2008/07/iphone_sync.html) and that did not work.
I do not want MobileMe. I don't think paying for that should be the only fix for this issue.
What else can I try?

ITunes video jumps when using iPhone (wifi sync enabled)

Hello,
I have had many issues with wireless sync for my iPhone, but I am going to focus on one issue here:
(When the wireless syncing is working) and I am watching a film, video podcast, TV show... anything video, on iTunes, if I open my iPhone (not physically connected to the PC) to look at something, maybe just to check the time, the video on iTunes stutters to a halt for a little while. Now, I know this has got to be to do with the iPhone checking in with iTunes wirelessly, almost a ping-negotiation-authentication thing, but is there any way to stop is messing up what I am watching? It is very annoying.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, iTunes 10.5.3 64-bit, (iPhone iOS 5.0.1), a 1GB Graphics Card, a Core2Duo 2.4Ghz CPU, and 4GB RAM, so it is not like I am underspec'd, and it does seem to be specifically iTunes and wifi-sync related.
Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone else solved this?

Hi there,
I also have this exact same problem and have struggled to find any solution that works, and until now have not found anyone else with the same problem.
I would be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this.
I have Windows 7, 32-bit, iTunes 10.5.3.3, iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1), 4GB RAM, Intel Quad 2.4Ghz, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT... so as with Buonacorsi, I don't think I'm underspec'd.
I can confirm that if I switch off iPhone wifi syncing I don't have any problems. I keep switching off wifi syncing, but I find more and more that I want to use that function so it is quite annoying.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing any thoughts...

If you have contacts syned between iPhone and MBP and iPhone quits working what happens to contacts

If iPhone and MacBookPro contacts are synced on icloud and the iPhone quits or resets itself what happens to the contacts on the other device?

I thought mabee they would sync and use the ipone as the newest change.

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc. when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5. so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine.
can you pls help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Iphone not syncing after updating itunes 10.5. pls help

Hi apologies but I am new to all this stuff. I updated itunes to version 10.5 and I think my iphone 4 was synced in during this. After itunes had updated I found that my iphone wasnt synced in any longer. I pulled out connecter and re connected but still nothing. Rang apple tech support (on hold for an hour in cue). They tried couple of things and then advised to uninstall itunes then reinstall. I have done that but still not recognising iphone. I can sync to my other apple computer but if I try and upgrade to iOS5 on that it says I need to go to the normal computer it is synced with or I'll lose some apps etc. I dont think my iphone has the latest iOS 5 on it yet. Can anyone pls help? Apple support now closed :-( thanks

I am also in the same boat.
Windows 7 on Alienware laptop - no problems at all until upgrade of iTunes client to 10.5.
After the upgrade, attempts to sync my iPhone 4 hang at "Step 1 of 4: Backing up Rob's iPhone" (for over 12 hours)
I have read hundreds of documents with various solutions.
1) Delete backup file from C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
2) Stop stuck MDCrashReport and AppleMobileBackup processes
3) Reinstall iTunes
It all FAILS. I work in IT and can assure you that nothing changed but whatever was changed by the iTunes application as it was upgraded to 10.5. This 2 day extravaganza is ridiculously frustrating and creating a rabid anti-apple sentiment in my house. Why the F would you (Apple) release something that is mandatory for me to use with my iPhone and have it be this buggy P.O.S.? (Rhetorical - no need to answer, please just fix this problem so I can sync and backup my phone).
Non-plussed

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Accessing Voice Memos from iPhone when the iPhone is Sync'd to another Mac

Don't know if this is possible but...
- Have an iPhone 4 sync'd to my home iMac and iTunes account - all good with lots of music sync'd (~16Gb worth)
- Want to use the Voice Memo functionality for recording work stuff
- Want to download/sync these Voice Memos to my work MacBook Pro that I have already authorised to access my home iTunes store account
When I attempt to sync music (only selecting 'Selected Playlists..." and check Include voice memos) I get a message stating that "all my current music will be replaced with songs from your iTunes library".......of which there are no songs on my Work MacBook Pro. So in effect I would lose all music already on my iPhone.
So it seems that I can only utilise the voice memos functionality (ie: download the voice files to a mac) on my iPhone 4 on the Mac/iTunes it is originally sync'd with. Seems rather counterproductive to me.
Does anyone know a way to do this without having to use third party software?
Thanks in advance!

An alternative would be to switch to manual management of your iPhone.
