Hello, AndrewR2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on this issue to provide a better answer. However, it sounds like your computer may not recognize your iOS devices I would recommend manually installing the Apple Mobile Device driver as outlined in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

For some reason my iphone4 has stopped syncing with my address book on my macbookpro

I have been adding some new addresses to my address book on my macbook pro and for some reason I can't get it to sync with my contacts on my Iphone4. I have checked that the box is ticked in the I tunes info panel. I must be doing something stupid! It has been fine up until recently.

Thanks for the advice. however I did exactly as you suggested and it still doesn't sync. I have contemplated going down the restore route in Itunes which will set the I phone back to the original settings but all the media and other data on the phone will be erased until I sync things again but then if it isn't syncing I loose all my contacts. catch 22? All other syncing for apps and iCal are working fine - its just the contacts that is refusing to be updated. The problem is in both directions - if I input a new address on the phone it does go into contacts on my mac and vice versa

My Iphone4 has stopped syncing my outlook calendar. My contacts sync fine.

My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar any ideas for a fix?

My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar. Any ideas for a fix?

My iPhone 3G and Outlook sucessfully synched everything (contacts, calendar, mail accounts, bookmarks, notes) until V 3.0 of the phone software. Then calendar would not synch no matter what. After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple rep we discovered that when a new user account was set-up in Windows (XP SP 3), and a new instance of Outlook (Office 2003) was opened in that account the Calendar in the new account would sync. However, when the calendar from the old account was imported into the new account (via .pst export / import), it still wouldn't sync. At that point the Apple rep had no more help to offer. After much offline troubleshooting on my own I found a solution that at least worked for me by the following steps:
1) create a new mail account through: Control Panel | Category View | User Accounts | Mail (Add a new account, don't copy the old one)
2) don't know whether this step is necessary, but since the "old" .pst file was 1997-02, I exported / imported it into a 2003 Personal Folders .pst file, and then replaced the .pst file on the "new" mail account with the "updated" .pst file from the "old" mail account.
3) opened the new mail account and exported all Calendar appointments into an Excel file
4) in Calendar view of Outlook selected: View | Arrange By | Current View | By Category, then did an Edit | Select All and deleted all appointments.
5) then using File | Import / Export, imported the Excel file of appointments into Calendar,
6) open iTunes, select Preferences | Devices and Reset Synch History
7) under Info select only the Calendar Sync option and the option to replace the Calendar information on the phone with the new Calendar.
The calendar now properly updates (several regualr updates have since been tried). One small annoyance (but preferable to not syncing) the recurring aspect of any appointment (not the appointment itself) is lost, along with any color formatting, but those are easily fixed up afterward.

My iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes,

my iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes, but Windows Explorer (Windows7) recognizes the iPhone is connected and will download photos from iPhone.
When I look at the Settings-General-iTunes Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when "PC" is available."
More details:
I have three iPhone4 phones. 1 of them will Sync with iTunes, but the other 2 have this problem where they will not Sync. All 3 phones recently were able to Sync, like 10 or 14 days ago. I am Sync ing them all to the same PC and iTunes account. No idea what has changed to cause 2 of the iPhones to be unable to Sync. they both have the "Sync will resume when "PC" is available" message under the Wifi Sync menu.

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.

Ipod touch stopped syncing with itunes since ios 5 upgrade

Can someone PLEASE ADVISE ME!
I spent off and on 24 hours finally getting my ios 5 update on my ipod touch 4g. When i first upgraded itunes to 10.5, when I tried to upgrade to ios5 the udgrade kept crashing. Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes. I thought YES EVERYTHING IS GREAT. Starting using ios 5 and was loving it. Till, i wanted to resync with itunes to enable wifi syncing.
Now, everytime i plug in my ipod, it says Syncing my ipod (step 2 of 8) and the stripy thing is moving...and below that it ways Backing up
but then it just keeps saying this for hours. never moves beyond "step 2", So i end up having to open task manager and closing out itunes. Then when i reopen itunes it will freeze up. I uninstalled'reinstalled itunes now 4 times and the same thing happens...the sync never gets beyon step 2...backing up.

Why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

The calendar on my Tungsten E2 has stopped syncing with my windows 7 PC.

The calendar on my Tungsten E2 has stopped syncing with my windows 7 PC. All other conduits sync perfectly but only if I first change the conduit setup to not include the calendar as part of the syncing process. I have already tried reinstalling the Palm Desktop, but this did not help. If I try syncing with the calendar included in the syncing process, the entire syncing process freezes up when it comes to the calendar. Thanks for any ideas.

You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

My Mac's iCal has stopped syncing with my iPhone, Macbook and iPad?

My Mac has stopped syncing with my iPhone and MacBook Pro. System preferences setting for iCloud has iCal selected in all devices. Interestingly, my iPad is showing all chat messages between me and other people when I am using my iPhone. This started about the time that iCal started misbehaving. May or may not be related.

Ipad calendar has stopped syncing with google account

Ipad has stopped syncing with Google. Paid 6 months ago to have help, and it annoys me to pay again for the same reoccurring issue.
Have tried the same solution given before but it isn't doing the trick now. Any idea how to get them on e again communicating with one another?

The process of syncing Outlook calendar with Google Calendar is pretty much straightforward, in fact Google distributes a very small application that does just that. You only have to configure how you want to sync (one-way or both-ways) and how often. Then you simply "push" it from your iPhone, the system works in "listen mode" meaning that every change you make to the original calendar is automatically and instantly available on the other system.
I know it's not "the" solution, but for the time being it's the only work around.
Take care.
