My Nano will no longer sync with iTunes. Sync is greyed out under Devices.

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

Uploaded purchased cd to itunes, will not sync with iPhone 5, appears greyed out

I bought 2 cds recently. I put them onto iTunes via my MacBook Pro. I have settings to sync my entire music library, but these 2 cds do not sync and I can see they appear with a different status - sort of greyed out. Yet they are accessible on mac still.

I have fixed this.

When trying to sync with itunes error message reads Apple mobile device not started. I pod turns on but does not connect to itunes

When I try to sync my ipod with itunes I get an error message which tells me Apple mobile device is not started.

"itunes could not connect with the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)."
This error is associated with ringtones, are you trying to sync a ringtone, purchase a ringtone...need more info...
I have also an error message saying it cannot sync and error message number 0050.
Are you on Windows XP? Is this the error message...iTunes displays -50 error message? If so, follow these directions:

Iphone wont sync with itunes i dont have apple mobile device

i dont have apple mobile device on my computer so that means my iphone wont sync to my itunes i tryed downloading the new itunes and everything but apple mobile device still did not download why? i need HELP!!!!!

I had the same problem. iTunes would not recognize my wife's phone as a device. My phone was just fine. So here is how I fixed her problem after exhausting all the apple support tips. First thing I did was go to apple.com and saved the newest iTunes software to the desk top (do not install yet). Then I went into control pannel to uninstall software. Uninstall the following....Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple software update, Bonjour, and then finally uninstall iTunes. Then reboot your system, once reboot is complete go to your desktop and install the newest iTunes that you saved earlier. This worked like a charm...let me know if it helps

IPod touch no longer opens iTunes -- option is greyed out in device Summary

I've been using my 1st gen iPod touch with iTunes for two years with no problems. Recently when I plug the iPod into my computer, nothing happens (besides charging). If I manually open iTunes, the iPod does appear as a device, and I can click Sync to get things going -- but the "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" option is greyed out. Anyone know how to get this option back so my iPod will automatically open iTunes when I connect it to my iMac?

Looks like that, or a combination of the two took care of the problem. Yaaaaayyyyyy!
Thanks again for your help. It got a little dicey because without the manage my own files box checked iTunes tried to sync the iPod to iTunes and there wasn't enough room on the iPod for all of the music. Once I got the prevent sync bow unchecked in Preferences and unchecked the manage my files and use disc boxes unchecked I was able to check the start iTunes box and the manage my files box an apply it so that I have the best of both worlds going own.
Life is good!
Thaks again Brother.

My 3rd generation iPod Touch will no longer connect with iTunes

It started when I get a new iMac. I've gone through the steps apple.com/support suggested but with no avail. I updated to the newest iTunes and everything, but it still does not connect. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

- So you tried everything here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
including the Additional Information paragraoh?
- Tried another cable
- Tried another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

Wifi Sync with iTunes has stopped working

I have a MacBook Pro running on 10.7.2 and have iTunes 10.5.
My iPhone 4 has recently stopped wifi sync with iTunes on my MacBook Pro , the device only shows in Itunes when i sync via the cable.
I have reinstalled iTunes 10.5 on my Mac and have restored my I phone's software and firmware to no avail.
Does anyone have an answer??

Do you have the ACE Mega CoDecS pack installed? I saw that as the problem somewhere, and uninstalled it and that took care of the problem. I had just re-installed before having that problem and had every single codec installed rather than just installing a certain filter that I was needing and it was affecting Quicktime, which in turn was affecting iTunes.

WiFi sync with iTunes? App data sync'ed?

Hi there,
Is there a way to wirelessly sync an iPhone with iTunes? Also, does syncing with iTunes sync program-specific data as well? Just want to make sure I don't loose data when / if I have a problem with the iPhone.
Justin

No, syncing with iTunes is via USB/dock cable only.
When you sync with iTunes, the 3rd party app data is backed up, along with many other things (but not the apps themselves, music, etc., since those are part of the iTunes Library).

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore nano and received error message 1437 that nano could not be restored.

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore it and error message 1437 said it could not be restored. Any thoughts on how I can sync or restore?

Good day billoelwein,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano being unable to restore, you may want to first try resetting the iPod. See the directions in this article -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the issue is still present after a reset, you may need to restore your iPod nano back to factory settings. See this article -
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

iOS: Unable to update or restore
