My phone will not sync to my computer. I tried updating it but nothing worked. It was working just fine a few weeks ago

When I try to sync it says sync can not start because the sessions hasn't started?

  • My phone will not sync with my computer and will not download music from itunes and from my computer, what do I do?

    i do not know what to do....help!

    Have you synced music to your iPhone before?
    If you havnt then you need to make sure that the sync setting for music has been set up:
    - open itunes
    - plug in your iphone
    - from the summary page to the right is the option music
    - on the music tab make sure Sync Music is selected
    - choose wether you would like to sync entire music library or selected songs and playlists
    - after that press apply to the bottom right
    hope this helps

    Define "device option."

  • Our original iTunes account is on a computer with Windows Xp.  My iPad will not sync to that computer.  Is ther any way I can access that iTunes library of music on my iPad2?

    My original iTunes account is on a computer operating a Windows Xp system. My iPad2 cannot access that music library. Is there any way the iTunes app on my iPad can access my iTunes music library without using that computer?  I have tried downloading the iTunes 10.6 to the computer, but it won't complete the download.

    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.

  • Treo 755 will not sync with my computer anymore

    I have a Treo 755 (Palm os) and it will not sync with my computer anymore. I have a PC with Win XP pro SP3. The last time it sync'ed was about two months ago, I had to fiddle with the connection before it would work. Now when I plug the phone in and push the button, the computer chimes but that is all that it will do. After it times out the phone gives an error message. I am thinking that maybe it is the cable or phones contacts that are bad. (It has always been hard to unplug the cable from the phone). I have also tried reinstalling the software with no luck. How can I check the connections, is there another way to sync with my computer?
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Telus Mobility)

    It said that the connection between my handheld and desk top could not be established. After I posted yesterday I looked though the web site and found were is said to blow out any dust from the terminals on the handheld so I did and it worked. This morning I tried it again and it will not connect. It must be one of the connections either on the handheld or on the cable. Is there a way of testing either? The computer is recognizing the handheld but it just will not communicate.

  • I lost all the songs on my itunes and now my phone will not sync with out loosing all my music

    my computer hard drive crashed and i had to re download itunes and now my phone will not sync without erasing all my music

    That is correct.  The iphone will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time.  If you sync to another then it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer/library.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use this to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You will also need to enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the computer .  When you first sync, you should get the option to merge.  Otherwise this data will be erased as well.
    Much easier to use your backup copy to put everything back.

    Hey nani91191,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may simply need to authorize your computer with your Apple ID:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12303
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
    Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
    If you are using a Windows PC, you may need to turn on the menu bar to access the "Store" menu:
    iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
