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,

HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up
iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything
I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with? Is the computer authorized for that account?

I just got an iphone 4s. My iphone will not sync with itunes
My phone will not sync with itunes without 10.6.3 itunes which is not compatible with the software that is currently on my mac book. However, My mac does not have a software update available. HELP
It would help if you told us which version system software you have on your Macbook and which version of iTunes and what system requirements say on the side of the phone's box you actually need.

My iPhone will not sync with iTunes update
With the last update my iPhone will not sync.
I, too, updated to ios 7.0.6 and immediately couldn't synch music to my iPhone. I erased the phone twice and ended up in a loop and couldn't even boot, just the Apple logo over and over. This worked for me:
Hold down the home button (on the front) simultaneously with the button on the top. After 10-15 seconds the Apple log appears again and loads IOS slowly. Once was loaded, my music was back. Annoyingly, it only seems to update from the cloud.
At least my iPhone works now.
I can't believe Apple didn't catch this before they screwed up their customers. -

My new (replacement) iPhone will not sync with iTunes on my Macbook.
My old (two weeks old, replacement of an old broken one) iPhone sync'd just fine, but kept going off. The new one will not sync at all, nor will it save my email passwords. Any clues?
Did you try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data?

Iphone will not sync with iTunes!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
My iphone has always synced up with my macbook no problem but recently when I plug it in and walk away I come back and the sync bar is half full
and will not go any further. I have tried turing off airport and restarting the phone and comp but nothing seems to work. I have all the most current
versions of software and I don't know why it isn't working. Everything I have read on other forums does not help either. Who can solve this
problem???
I am tired of dealing with this.
Please help..Thank you.nicholasfromfrederick wrote:
I feel that since it worked before with no problem I shouldn't need to disable anything on my mac.
No one suggested "disabling everything" on your Mac, just security apps. The fact that it worked before means nothing - these apps update themselves frequently and what's on your Mac today isn't the same, Also, updates to the iOS and iTunes make a difference.
The problem could be in the phone. Has your phone EVER been jailbroken or hacked to downgrade the iOS or unlock? Did you try resetting (press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears)? -
I just updated to itunes 11.2 yesterday and all of a sudden, I can't sync my phone to my computer anymore (I have a windows 8 laptop). I don't know what happened and I tried to connect with my normal charger first & it didn't work. I used another USB cable that I had, but it didn't work either. I've restarted my computer and iPhone which didn't work either. I also tried repairing iTunes and disabling/enabling it, but that didn't work either. Please help!
I've discovered the following problems:
1) New Calendar entries on my iPhone do not appear to sync to the PC
2) A new calendar under My Calendars is created and named "Home"
3) The new entries as described in number 1 above show up in this new "Home" calendar
4) New Calendar entries created in Outlook 2007 under the "Calendar" calendar sync to the iPhone
5) New Calendar entries created in Outlook 2007 under the "Home" calendar sync to the iPhone
6) New Calendar entries created on the iPhone sync to the Outlook 2007 "Home" calendar
7) If I delete the "Home" calendar in Outlook 2007 and clear the Deleted Items folder to completely remove it, it will be recreated next time I sync to the iPhone (I have to make a new iPhone Calendar entry for this to happen).
My current config:
- iPhone 1.1.3
- Windows Vista
- Outlook 2007
- iTunes 7.7
This appears to have started Thursday night July 10th. That is when I installed iTunes 7.7. I may not have noticed except that I was trying to upgrade to iPhone 2.0 and was getting an error -43 during the backup process. I was informed that the upgrade couldn't backup my iPhone and that all iPhone data would be erased. -
IPhone will not sync in iTunes
When I initially installed the upgrade (iOS 5), I was able to sync with iTunes. Now I cannot sync my iPhone in iTunes. What happened? How can I resolve the problem?
A little more detail would be most useful.
IF you're doing this wirelessly, try this: Quit iTunes and turn off WiFi on your iPhone. Turn WiFi back on and re-open iTunes. If you're on a mac, toggle WiFi on and off as well. It has worked for me in the past.
If you're connecting via USB, is it not recognizing the iphone at all? Have you dropped your phone or could you have damaged your connector in any other way? -
My iPhones will not sync with iTunes.
I have 3 Iphones. 2 3gs and 1 4. I have a Macbook Pro running lion. I have the latest itunes and iphone software. I have not been able to sync any of my phones with itunes (either with a usb or wifi) since January. For the most part I do everthything with Icloud but I would really like to sync them. Any ideas? I click sync and Itunes says it is waiting for the sync to start and I even see the arrow circle on the phone spinning but after about 5 minutes it says that the sync has failed to start.
Does syncing work if you choose not to sync whatever is trying to sync first, like contacts, calendars or music?
If it's happening when syncing contacts or calendars, see this -> Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing
If you don't think it's contacts or calendars, you can skim through that doc and just do the steps to Disable syncing (#7) and Reset the SyncServices folder (#21/22). -
IPhone will not sync with iTunes update..freezes too
I updated iTunes and now I cannot sync my iPhone. iTunes freezes and it does not recognize my iPhone (my iPod syncs without any problem).
I been sorting through the articles and discussions on the website for days now and tried everything...uninstall..reinstall...repair...run diagnostics...restart...restore...update drivers...etc...etc...etc..
