My new iphone 5C seems to be stuck on syncing contacts; well over an hour; is this normal?

My new iphone 5C seems to be stuck on syncing contacts; it's been in step 2 for over an hour.

Hi, I have the same problem. Using ipad 2 with ios 5 and a mac running lion (10.7.2). My iphone syncs fine, but my ipad2 just sits there for ever with the message:
'Synching Data to ... (Step 6 of 6) Waiting for items to copy'
Have tried rebooting the ipad but it didn't help.

Solved! Turn it off and on again!

My New iphone 5s gets hot quickly when using GPS and downloading apps/movies. Is this normal? My Iphone 5 never did that!

I Have had my IPhone 5s for less than a month and have noticed that it gets very hot while downloading apps/movies and while using GPS. (not at the same time) Battery life is also disappointing! Normal?? My 5 never had this problem!

basic troubleshooting steps from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Have ANY of these been tried?

HT4623 My iphone 5 seems to be stuck in the horizontal view when I'm in the message mode. In all other views I can turn the phone 90 degrees and horizontal to vertical works fine. Not sure what the problem is.

I found a solution!
Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:

As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
3. Next was a restart.
4. Then my display started working again.
5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
I hope this helps the next person.

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

HT5654 I have a new iPhone 5s. When I try to sync it with my iTunes account it is unable and advises to update iTunes to version 11.1. Whn I attempted this iTunes advised that the current version I have (10.6.3) is the most up to date!

If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

The iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will erase the current content from the iphone and repalce with content from the new computer.

Ipod seems to be stuck between syncing.... stuff on ipod is now labelled 'other'

Ipod seems to be stuck between syncing .... stuff on ipod is now labelled 'other' ... don't have the music on itunes so can't get back from there. Is there anyway to remedy current state without having to restore and lose everything? music, playlist menus etc come up as being empty even though there is space on the disk. Am wondering if it has been casued by plugging into itunes at work. Ipod worked fine last night but I just can't access anything today ...... have looked quickly at forums but cannot find anything which works. Have reset a couple of times with little effect. Went home and pluged into home pc just in case .... but no joy ..... have itunes set to manually manage so it doesn't synch music. Any help would be most appreiciated :-)

Plug it in to iTunes - go to the Summary tab when the iPod appears - go down to the 'Configure Accessibility' button (bottom of the page) - click it. You may see VoiceOver checked. Uncheck it, then click OK.
Failing that: I have a 7G. With my version, I get the voice when I hold both volume buttons down (I think). Maybe your buttons do the same thing and maybe they are being held down by something? Just a guess.

My new iPhone 5s will not let me type using the keyboard, has anyone else had this issue?

The iPhone 5, the Wall Charger, and the Lightning Cable are all covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take all 3 to Apple so the problem can be sorted and resolved.

IPhone stuck on syncing contacts

I recently purchased a 16GB iPhone and have been very happy with it. Really good. However, this week it gets stuck on 'syncing contacts' whenever I plug it into the dock. I eventually reset the phone, backing it up at the same time, and whilst iTunes restored it to factory settings and restored all my text messages it refuses to sync the rest of the handset. The result is that I now have a phone wiped of all my music. I've tried a different dock but that makes no difference. What should I do? If you were to suggest reinstalling iTunes how can i avoid having to upload all my music onto my iMac again?

The iTunes music library should still be on your iMac, so when it syncs it should sync your music again. So reinstall iTunes; the library is separate from the program. Try temporarily disabling Contact sync so you can get through the sync and recover your music.
However, your Contacts problem is probably due to bad data in the Address Book database on the iMac. This is the problem you need to fix. I know how to do it on Windows, but you will have to wait for a Macspert to do that.

It will show up, when connected directly by USB as a camera.

Turn off my iPhone and back on none of my apps work for over 6 hours

Turn off my iPhone and back on none of my apps work for over 6 hours. None of them worked at all. also last night i charged my phone to 100% and i wake up with it at 20% whats up with that????

Page of 46 the manual:
"If something isn’t working right, restarting, force quitting an application, or resetting
iPhone will likely solve the problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your ﬁnger across the slider to turn oﬀ iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
If you can’t turn oﬀ iPhone or if the problem continues, you may need to reset. A reset
should be done only if turning iPhone oﬀ and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
Force quit an application: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone
for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then press and hold the Home button
until the application quits.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
