My Powerbook shows no sync button

Hi,
I have two Macs--a new iMac and an old Powerbook G4--and am trying to sync them. The latter computer, however, has no sync tab in the preferences section. Is it still possible to sync them and, if so, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
RM

Hi!
Firefox Sync is not part of Firefox in old version as Firefox 3.6. Because your computer is not compatible with newer releases you need to use the Firefox Sync Add On: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-sync/

Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out

Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out. I have downloaded and installed Itunes 11 (multiple times) and restored my phone twice already, but I am still not able to sync my Iphone 4 with Itunes.
When I select / de-select Apps on Itunes to remove from the phone the "Apply" button does appear, but after I click it nothing happens. Then the greyed out "sync" button just appears again.
Anyone with some advise please?

Try Restarting or Resetting your touch.
Restart: Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears and turn off your iPod. Press the sleep/wake button and hold it until you see the Apple icon.
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The red slider will appear first, keep hold everything until you see the Apple icon. Release the buttons.
Check your iPod and see if your music and apps have reappeared. If they do after either option, then resync your iPod.
If neither works, then Restore your touch through iTunes.

How do I restore the white sync button on iPhone 4s?

Last night I was attempting to add a Kindle book to my iPhone via the sync method. Something has gotten corrupted, as my iPhone no longer shows the white sync button option, under the iTunes /wifi option in settings. When I open iTunes, it sees the iphone. If I try and drag a file to the iPhone, the item bar is transparent and doesn't allow the action. I restored the phone, but to no avail. I no longer have the ability to manually sync my phone by pressing the white sync now button, that was previously showing on the phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

You can delete an item from Safari's reading list by swiping it and then tapping "delete".

HT201269 my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button, any suggestions

my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button. It is showing as greyed out. Any suggestions ?

I am having the same issue. After hunting around on the community boards for a while, I noticed that ZoneAlarm Firewall came up fairly often as causing issues with syncing. I re-activated the firewall that came bundled with my less-than-a-year old Windows 7 pc and completely uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I dragged and dropped one of my playlists to the iPhone 3GS and then most of my music then came back, but I am still unable to get all my custom ringtones (created in i ringer) to reload. I've tried dragging and dropping to no avail (I use "manually manage" because I add audio books from the library).
Others have posted these same issues and the odds that we are all doing the same exact wrong thing seems astronomical - there must be an issue with the latest firmware update. Different iPhone versions, different OS on computers, PC v Mac - all having problems after the latest update. Coincidence? Hmmmm!
If you do have ZoneAlarm, it might be worthwhile to change that...

What happened to the Sync button in iTunes 11?

I don't see a sync button in the new iTunes, nor does it individually list the podcasts that are downloading. They are all lumped together.
These seem like losses of functionality, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Do I really have to go to the menu to sync my podcasts?
Is there a way to see which ones are downloading?

I had the same issue, and didn't have to reboot to get it to reappear. I couldn't find it either, and knew i had used it before on my ipad mini. I closed my podcast app (Which was paused on a podcast) and closed the itunes store app, and the itunes radio tab reappeared. it must have something to do with the other apps that are open...that's why turning your ipad off and then back on fixes it. It closes whatever app is preventing the radio tab from showing up.

ITunes 10.4 and now no Summary Data or Sync Button

What's up with this update? I can no longer see the content on my device in the summary bar, which shows me how much space is taken/free on my iPhone (device). Also, the "Sync" button is removed.
Progress?
No.
Any way to restore them?
Thanks

Found it - thanks to Lion & the poor window management of it. Please ignore.

Itunes update has no photo sync button

Where is the photo sync button with the new itunes update? So how do I sync my photos cuz can't find anywhere the word photos.

I think you forgot to plug in your iDevice. Do this now. This is what I see after I plug in my iphone. I click once on "iphone".
This is what I see when I click on iphone. Notice books and photos are not showing up. They are missing regardless if it is full screen or in a window. Notice there are no scroll bars.
Now after I drag the window to the far left,moving quite a bit of the window off the screen, and expanding the window on the right, I can now see books and photos.
Hope that helps.

Lightroom 4.4 Metadata Auto Sync switch missing from Sync Button.

I am using Lightroom 4.4 on a 2013 Macbook Air OS 10.8.4.
I cannot see the Switch enables auto sync on the Metadata sync button. Its currently visible on another machine a MacPro with Lightroom v4.3. I find this useful to be bale quickly enable and disable the syncing of metadata. I'd be grateful if somewhere could tell me if this has been dropped in v4.4 or have I missed a prefs setting somewhere? MAny thanks

It depends on how the "Metadata Menu>Show Metadata for Target Photo Only" option is set. If it's enabled, the buttons are as you show them, with the little switch to the left of the "Sync" button which would enable "Auto Sync" if clicked (but only possible with multiple photos selected).
However, if that option is unchecked, the button changes and becomes like this:
No switch needed in that situation, the button lights up whenever multiple images are selected.

I can't find the set up sync button

I know this is stupid but I can't find the set up sync button. I want to transfer the bookmarks from my old PC and have read how to do it but when I click on the orange Firefox button top left of my screen the only option appears to be sync now. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks Joe

If you see sync now then this means that Sync is already installed on that computer and working.

Did you create a new sync account or used the previously used email and password and sync key?
Note that sync isn't supposed to be used as a means of transferring data from one computer to another, so you need to be careful with not overwriting data stored on the Sync server.
Check the Sync options when you have used Sync before and want to keep previously stored data on the Sync server.
* click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync (Sync Options only affect the first sync)
Select this choice if you want to restore data from the Sync server:
* "Replace all data on this device with my Sync data"
You can also copy files to an USB stick to transfer them to another computer.

IPhone V will not sync. The sync button in itunes is greyed out.

Have synced many time without problems but now the iPhone shows up in Devices, but the sync button is greyed out. If I make a change to any of the parameters for syncing the "Apply" button shows up normally and I can click "Apply" but then the synch button immediately appears butis greyed out.

Hi Fbrown,
Do you have a firewall turned on? If so, try turning it off to see if it resolves your issue.
Cheers,

Please help! iPhone 6 Plus will not sync to PC, sync button greyed out.

After upgrading to 8.3 I am unable to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes on my PC. When the phone is connected by cable the PC recognizes the phone and it is visible in iTunes, but the sync button is greyed out and the storage bar only shows about 20gb used, all yellow and marked as "other" data even though my iPhone actually has about 90gb of apps/music/photos on it. I am using the stock Apple sync cable, latest iOS update and iTunes. So far I have tried:
-Power cycling both phone and PC.
-Completely uninstalling iTunes and all associated programs in the order recommended by Apple, then re-installing.
-Unchecking everything to be synced (music, photos, etc) then clicking apply. iTunes does send some kind of brief sync with the phone after I click apply but I'm still left with the greyed out button and yellow storage bar. Nothing is deleted from the phone. Re-checked everything same result.
-Wiped and restored iPhone from iCloud backup, still no sync button and yellow storage bar.
I noticed when I check for music "on device" it only shows about 30 songs from a couple of different albums, all with the dotted circle indicating they were not transferred. I actually have a lot more on the iPhone. I've tried everything I can think of to clear these out and nothing works.
Any ideas?

Try to set it back to factory settings and restore from the latest backup, explained in this article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If all content on your phone is marked as "other", the data on the phone can't be read by iTunes anymore and the only thing that could help is restoring the device.

Cant sync music from iphone 5... When sync button is clicked starting sync appears and dissapears and nothing happens i cannot find a solution for this... Someone help me please

I Cant sync please help me... Im using iphone 5 ios 7.1... when sync button is clicked starting sync comes and nothing happens and no music on my phone... Im trying to sync my playlist in itunes... I have itunes 11.1.3.8 64-bit Windows 8

My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description. I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right. I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or locked up. Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager. There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something. My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer. iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens. Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on. Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago.

Updated to ios 6.1.5, itunes no longer recognizes any ipod - now only shows the "wishlist" button...

updated to ios 6.1.5 yesterday
itunes no longer recognizes any ipod
now only shows the "wishlist" button where the "ipod" button used to be in order to sync with itunes.
any help?

I have tried three different ipods and none are recognized by itunes...

Sync Button.

I would like to know if there is any easy to access "sync" button in the itunes. I am tired to control+click on the iPod name to do a sync. Now since we have got a summary page for the iPod with all the fancy things in it, could we get a "Sync" button instead of the "Update Firmware" or "Apply" buttons. I am sure it will be more useful to everyone then a "not so often" used firmware update button.
Just my 2 cents.
