New iPhone 4 hangs on first sync attempt
finally did it and bought an iphone. when i tried my first sync with iTunes, it started to back up then it hung.
all attempts at sync fail....no idea why or what i am doing here. i did repair permissions. any ideas?
The only thing that I can think of is that the backup that occurs when you first connect your iPod is:
A - Taking to long
B - Disconnecting
As the first requirement before the iPod does anything is to do this function.
Post that function it then copies music, apps and so forth down or up to the device.
Additionally if the backup fails, all sequential syncs just do the copy as mentioned after the backup.
Can you do me an exercise?
0 - Disconnect the iPhone from your computer
1 - First power down the phone (hold the power button) and slide the red slider across the screen.
2 - Restart the phone (hold the power button again until the apple logo appears)
3 - Wait for total restart and AT&T signal strength to appear
4 - Connect the iPhone
5 - Watch the backup line and see what happens?
Additionally it may work fine this time since it did all of this the first time... However any time a large app is installed, or a larger app gets additional data it may take that one app a long time to backup causing this issue. Once that app is backedup and it does not continue to change the backup routine is faster and then the syncs equally complete quicker.
Let us know how that goes...

My laptop is broken, hard disk failure. It's gone to the hospital but it will require a new hard disk. I have an iPod. I also have iCloud which everything ( I think) has been backed up to. I have an new iPhone and need to sync it up. Can I sync it to my iPad? So I can retrieve the back up? Scratching my head a bit!
iPad not iPod!

I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account
her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

My husband bought me a new Iphone today, but first backed up the old Iphone to Icloud. How do I download the old stuff. Have not been able to follow on-line directions. It's very frustrating. Give me my OLD PHONE BACK!!!
If you still have your old phone back it up via iTunes, then restore your new phone via the old phone's back up. Hope that makes sense.

New Iphone 4s won't sync, can't get past 'syncing calendars step 2 of 6'???
New Iphone 4s won't sync off my computer, can't get past 'syncing calendars step 2 of 6'. Got 1/3 of old apps, and contacts, but a 2/3 of my old apps are on the computer.... not real computer savvy, any suggestions?
no no a hard reset is just something you do to the phone, you wont lose any data or anything else its litterally like starting your phone on a fresh slate running wise but you wont lose anything at all, all your apps settings etc will still be right as you left it. think of it as a step above turning it off and on again

i just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS
Connect your 3GS in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -
Are my wi fi passwords on my ipod touch for the various wi fi places I go sync'd with itunes? Will they transfer to my new iphone 4S when I sync that with itunes? Where can i find a list of these passwords associated with wi fi networks on my ipod?
if i recall correctly - if you sync the same iphone it does restore your wifi passwords - but if you sync to a different iphone it does not (for security reasons)

In new iphone 5 very first call getting busy tone for all the numbers
in new iphone 5 very first call getting busy tone for all the numbers.
my son had this problem. I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone.. They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them. I did. They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon. There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off. I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
I hope this helps. -

I have new PC and my new Iphone 4s does not sync through I cloud how do I fix
I have a new pc and now my new Iphone 4s does not sync though Icloud how do I make new computer be the one iphone syncs with.
Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your current Apple ID
Change the Apple ID to the old one and save changes.
Sign in on the device with the same password for your account.
After logging in and signing out of Facetime, Messages, iCloud and itunes and app store, go back to Apple ID.com and change it back to your normal Apple ID.
Go to your email account and reverify your account by clicking on the Verify now link
Now re-login to those services with your normal Apple ID and password. -
New Iphone just WON'T sync - I've tried everything!! Please help
I bought a new Iphone yesterday and for some reason the lady synced it at the store (I had no idea what she was doing at that point - she told me she was 'unbricking it'). Anyway when I came home my own itunes wasn't recognising the Iphone (despite repeated attempts). So after reading up on the iphone a little bit i resetted it by deleting all data and settings. After this, every time i try to turn on my Iphone it just displays the usb and apple symbol icons, and everytime I connect it, itunes won't recognise it. Even though vista makes the "connection" sound the Iphone just isn't recognised. PLEASE HELP!! I have tried everything! Restarting comp + iphone, reinstalling itunes, downloading itunes 9, reinstalling the usb port, borrowing my brother's connection cable to make sure mine wasnt faulty. Device manager just won't recognise the iphone.
Please help!! I bought it from a store far away so the chances of visiting it again soon are fairly slim.Welcome to the discussions,

IPAD sync crashes new Dell Laptop every time sync attempted
I have a new Dell latitude 6410 laptop and when trying to sync IPAD to new computer as soon as sync starts running it crashes my laptop to the fatal blue screen.
How uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, selected to attempt only small file and app sync and still crashes after a few seconds. Apple blames OS, Dell blames Itune-Ipad. I am stuck in the middle very sad and frustrated.I would uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime and then reinstall them. But reinstall Quicktime first separate from iTunes and than after Quicktime is installed install iTunes.
