My sync icon won't bold so I can click on it to sync?

My sync icon won't bold so I can click on it to sync.  I have my iphone 5 connected with the cable that came with it.
Please help.

Have you selected the iPhone in iTunes?
FYI: Run Software Update from the Apple menu on your computer and update to Mac OS X 10.8.4.

  • HT1351 I would like to sync ITUNES to my IPOD.  When I click on devices the sync is greyed out.  can anyone help

    You need to select your iPod in iTunes.  The command (from the menu bar?) is disabled because you have not selected a device for which the command is applicable.
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, find and select the iPod under DEVICES. 
    Once the iPod is selected, you can select the Sync command under File -> Devices in the menu bar.  You can also just click the Sync button at the bottom left corner of the iTunes window (when the iPod is selected).

  • .mac sync icon won't go away!

    Unexpectedly at the bar on the top of the screen, I get a ".mac sync" icon. I do not have a .mac account, and never had. I believe this icon showed up after I installed the latest Safari update, but I'm not certain. When I go to preferences, it simply tells me that I don't have a .mac account (my .mac member name or password is missing it says) so I can't remove the icon from the bar on top.
    Anybody know how I can get that .mac sync icon at the top of my screen to go away?

    Me, too. In fact I still have a few winder boxes lying around and also run winders on all three of my Macs. But most of the time, it's my new, pet MBP 17".
    I have learned a tremendous amount about Macs from these forums. There are many very smart and knowledgeable people around here, and most of the time someone has the right answer to a problem.

  • My desktop icons won't open but I can open them from the finder thru the dock; how can I fix this? I run 10.5.1

    I run 10.5.1 and I have been getting a blue screen on boot that takes forever before the screen icons pop up...then I can't open them by clicking on them even though I can do so thru the finder in the dock. Any ideas how to fix? I dumped a bunch of stuff my boot drive to free up space...I have aropund 130 out of 160 gig that's available.

    Go to your Applications folder where you have installed these applications that will not open. Right-click, or two-finger tap (if enabled) the application icon. Choose open, and the application will launch. This is a one-time deal, as afterwards, that specific application will launch normally.
    This is an Apple security mechanism. You can override this in System Preferences > General: Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere. However, it is not set to Anywhere to protect you, and even I do not leave Anywhere permanently enabled. Only for those apps that I know are not in the App Store, and already know have this open behavior.

  • I no longer have the sync window on my computer where I can change the setting to sync my Iphone or Ipad

    I used to have a window where I can choose what to sync on my windows laptop.  Now when I open Itunes I get a window for music only so I can no longer sync my contacts, calendar, notes, etc. to my Iphone or Ipad  What happened?

    Assuming you're using iTunes 11, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes it will show at the top right just next to the iTunes Store button. Also by pressing Ctrl+S to Show Sidebar you will find the device in the same place it was in iTunes 10

  • My Ipod Touch Shows Up Into Itunes, But I Can Click On It To Sync, Its Locked Or Something?

    Hi, i need Help, ever since i updated iTunes to the newest one i been having an issue, i plug in my ipod touch 5g and it shows up in itunes, but problem is i cant click on it, shows my device is plugged in but its locked or something and i cant open it to sync my ipod. as seen in picture the device shows up but i cant click on it wont let me, i cant go to the sync page.

    That means that iTunes is not seeing the iPod properly. Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Sync Icon On my Top Menu Bar Suddenly Appearing !

    Hi,
    After 3 weeks of Lion, Icloud and Ios 5 Update, I notice the sync Icon on my Top Menu Bar. On clicking it it shows me SYNC NOW option.
    What is this for ? It was never there earlier and I have not changed a single setting & not done any recent updates either. Why is this suddenly appearing. On  Googling for the same it shows only how to remove it by Option Dragging it off... But does not say how to get it back. Do i need this ?
    The only change I Notice  just yesterday when I saw this Sync Symbol, is that on adding or deleting Calendar events on my Iphone, I would have to launch iCal on my Imac Earlier to see the updates. But now even though iCal is off (QUIT), it automatically launches and updates the entry. This is great but I only want to know how is this all happening automatically since just yesterday.
    On my other User profiles it is not hapening automatically and the sync icon is not visible !
    Please help.
    thanks
    cyrus !

    you can remove the sync icon by holding down the command key and then drag the sync icon from your menu bar

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

  • Problems with syncing Ipad with ITunes: apps won't appear on Ipad and organizing icons won't save

    I have a new Ipad 4 for three weeks. Yesterday I start having some problems with syncing my Ipad with ITunes (earlier all was without troubles):
    - downloaded in ITunes on PC apps won't transfer to my Ipad - I press Apply and sync, it goes successfully, but apps won't appear on Ipad.
    - I tried organizing icons on Ipad from PC, press Apply and sync, it all goes succesfully, but on Ipad icons won't rearrange. But ITunes shows that they are rearranged...
    - also I tried syncing my books adding one new book, press sync all books, and new book won't appear. Only when I've chosen every book separately, they transfered.
    I use USB for this.
    I tried resetting my Ipad, reinstalling ITunes on PC, deauthorizing and authorizing my computer, but it didn't help.
    Apple ID are the same on PC and Ipad.
    I hope that I'm not the only one with this problem. And also forgive my mistakes if there are any - English is not my native language. Thank you!

    I know that it is time consuming and a bit of a pain in the butt to have to do it, but I would backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup, and sync everything back to the device. It's going to take a while because you have a ton of music on the iPad, but IMO, that would be your best option now.
    You could try unsyncing all of the music, and then resync it all again, but that takes time as well. If you are going to spend that much time trying to fix it, you may as well restore the device ...IMO once again.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
