My iPhone will not sync with my imac

I can not get my iphone 4s to sync with my iMac. I have synced them before but it has been several months. I have tried several different usb cables and even a new one that I today. It will not even charge 90% of the time it is connected. But even if I can get it to charge, the iMac does not register that a device is connected. I am trying to sync my phone so I can upload my pics/videos so I can delete them off my phone. I do not have enough storage space to back up my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey iris7531,
Thanks for the question. Have you tried restarting your iPhone and Mac, then attempting to connect once more? Also, see this resource for additional steps:

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with home iMac but can with other macs

    My daughters iPod Touch will not sync with her iMac anymore.
    It will with my MacBook Pro but not with her iMac.
    We are both running Snow Leopard.
    Is there a toggle or setting that needs to be changed.
    I've looked but no joy.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If iTunes is not seeing the iPod then try:

  • 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?

    Cenzon-
    Are you syncing over WiFi or over the USB cable?  Try doing the opposite.
    Also try a different USB port on the iMac.

  • Replacement iPhone will not sync with existing library on external HD

    I had an iPhone, and all of my music is on an external hard drive. Everything synced and worked great, no problems. However, the Apple store just replaced my iPhone on a warranty issue, and now my iPhone will not sync with my itunes. Itunes and my external hard drive work great, but the minute i plug in my new replacement iPhone, it instantly crashes my external hard drive and will not sync any of my music. Ideas?

    Hi,
    The issue might be caused by the USB connection. Try directly connecting both devices to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides additional USB troubleshooting tips.
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.

    To add to the above, I just upgraded my iTunes to 10.6.x to take advantage of iCloud.  It was working before.

    The apps on my iphone will not sync with iTunes.  Process just skips steps 3 and 5.  Any 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?

  • My Iphone will not sync with my itunes after I had to change my user and pass on my pc.  How can I fix this problem?

    I had to reset my username and password on my computer because I must have hit a wrong key when changing password.  Anyway I made a new admin user on my pc and now my iphone will not sync all the way with my itunes.  I flashes a message on the screen saying "you do not have the proper privileges" and stops the sync.  All of my contacts are gone and all of my google calander is wiped clean.  I just want my Iphone to sync now so that I can add contacts again.  What can I do?  Thank you for your time.

    bogdan0,
    Tried that but did not work.  Thank you for the reply.  However, I did find the correct thing to do though so wanted to share.
    Since on my computer I had to create a new admin account,  I had to go into the shortcut properties of Itunes.  Then hit Compatibility Tab.  Had to check Run as Admin.  
    After hitting Change settings for all users it worked just fine.

  • 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.

  • IPhone will not sync with iCal

    I'm having problems whereby events created on my iPhone is not syncing with my iCal. (Entry does not show up on iCal after sync)

    archonium,
    did you check the sync iCal option in the iTunes (iPhone) sync tab?
    If you did and that doesn't work. Try this....
    1) Open Disk Utilities on your mac and run 'Repair Disk Permissions' on your hard drive
    2) Restart your mac.
    3) try again. If it still doesn't work, try resettin the iPhone. Try again.
    4) If the above doesn't work. Try RESTORING your iPhone via iTunes. That may work.
    hope one of these work
    good luck!

  • 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 my new computer

    My previous computer died so I bought a new one and registered with Apple. I also updated to IOS 5. Now my phone will not sync with my computer.  Does anyone know how I fix this? 

    Vague.
    What does "will not sync"  mean?
    What have you tried?
    What happens?
    Error message?
    What does it say?
    Any info?
