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.

My iphone 5s will not turn on i tried everything please help me
Last night my phone was at 12% so I put it on charge then when I wake up it does not turn on I tried everything
Well, since we don't know what "everything" might constitute, I'll provide you with the most common fix for this type of issue - reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once it appears, the reset is taking place. The Home screen will display shortly.
Cheers,

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

Brand new Iphone 5c won't sync with Itunes
I am new to the Iphone.
I just bought a new iPhone 5C and wanted to sync it with my itunes library. I have hooked up the phone to the computer with the USB cable provided, and updated my itunes to most current version.
Everytime I have searched for help, the general answer is to hook up the iphone, and then choose the device under files tab. Or that the device should appear next to the tab that takes you to the itunes store. But neither of these show up as an option for me. ( I can click devices, but can't click anything after that).
Any help will be appreciated.If you would have looked at the tech specs:
Mac system requirements
* Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
* Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
* iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
* iTunes Store account
* Internet access
This has been out since the phone was launched. Depending on your Mac it might be a $30, or a 130. best to make an appt with your local Apple store to see what can be done.
Good luck. -
Brand new Iphone 4s won't sync with my itunes.
Iphone is brand new. I'm using the latest version of itunes 10.6 i think), and the iphone is version 6.0 All I get is a message that keeps saying "Waiting for changes to be applied". This is so frustrating. Can someone please help? The phone is brand new with no voice messages on it.

Brand new iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes!!
I can see this topic has been covered several times but I haven't been able to fix this problem. Is it true that you must have iTunes 10.1 to use an iPhone 4?!?! Because I was never informed of that...sorry if I'm sounding stupid but I am brand new to mac and to the iphone and don't understand. I have read elsewhere that you only need iTunes 9.2 (which I have) but when I plug in my iphone it says I need version 10.1...and I can't get version 10.1 because I only have OS X 10.4.11...what the heck am I supposed to do? Is it true I'll have to pay an additional $130 to upgrade on top of all the money I just dropped on the phone?

IPhone 5 - Voice Memos won't sync.. Tried EVERYTHING!
I have alot of Voice memo recordings of classes and lectures that I need on my computer.
The last time memos successfully synced was in February, and even then, not ALL of the memos synced, only some of them.
I have the "sync" memos tab checked but nothing happens now.
I have even deleted the iTunes playlist - Voice Memos in despiration (i backed the synced ones) and tried to get iTunes to recreate the playlist and hopefully let it re-sync the others still on my phone - but no!
I have iTunes & iPhone up to date so it's not an issue of old software.
The files are also way to big to "share" from the iPhone as some are about an hour or so long.
If Apple has no answer to this, can anyone reccommend a 3rd party app/software that can drag the files from my phone?
Cheers
mattwdI got a way around it. It's a bit long but works. Email the memo to yourself and then download it. Then open it on itunes and find it inside the Music folder (top left). Then copy and place it wheneve you want. It's the only way I could managed to move them from the memo library to my prefered playlist (despite ticking the include voice memos box). For some anowying reason memos are not allowed to be moved around!

I forgot my passcode on my new Iphone 6 and haven't backup it yet. Please help.
I got my Iphone 6 last week and went on vacation to take some pictures. However, in the middle of my vacation the IPhone restarted by itself and asking for a passcode. My passcode is not working anymore and pushing my Iphone to be disabled by trying to guess what it is. I tried to restore the Iphone by using my computer but I was not able to back it up because it's asking for a passcode also I tried to sync it and its does the same thing and asking for a passcode. I don't want to completely restore it without saving my pictures. Is it possible to reset my passcode by going to any apple service center? We do have all the necessary documents to prove the I am the owner of it. I just don't want to take the risk to restore it without backing it up. Please help.
The purpose of the passcode is to protect the data in the iPhone (including photos) from people who do not know the passcode. The only way to eliminate the passcode is to restore the phone as new which eliminates the data from the iPhone. You can do that yourself or take it to an Apple Store and they will restore it for you. If you had made a backup you could then restore the data back to the iPhone (including the photos) but if you did not make a backup, then you will be unable to access the data.
You have not said whether or not you had the Photo stream feature enabled in your iCloud settings. If you did, your photos will be streamed back to your iPhone when you enable the feature after restoring the iPhone. Or perhaps you had enabled iCloud backups to made automatically every time you are on Wifi and plugged in. If yes, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup. If not, you are out of luck.
For the future, it is a good idea to enable iCloud automatic backups. You don't have to remember to make them and they will be there for you should you forget your passcode again. -

IPhone 3GS won't start at all...please help
My iPhone 3GS won't start at all, it only shows the apple logo untill the battery runs out and it keeps on doing that. It happened after I erased all contents & settings. I tried pressing home button & power button for 15 seconds too, it didn't work. Any other ideas?
while turned off, connect that to the wall charger, it should start normally
after few minutes.
if it dont start then put your phone in dfu mode and connect to itunes for
a restore. for dfu mode search google. -
My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!
My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!
I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

AE won't sync up with my modem. please help
I have a new modem from my new cable service. When I plug my mac directly into my modem via ethernet, the internet works fine.
When I plug that ethernet cable into the AE base station and get onto that network via airport, no pages load.
I have version 5.7 firmware on my AE and all my software is up to date.
Please help!Is this is a cable modem?
Most cable modems need to be powered down when you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. When the modem is powered up, it discovers the new device and will communicate with it.
Some cable modems have a reset button.
Some cable modems have a small internal battery which must be removed to do the reset.
Some cable modems must be turned off for several hours (or even overnight) to allow the equipment back at the ISP time to reset. -
I did a reset on my iphone 4.. now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I have tried EVERY troubleshooting thing on the apple site. I've reinstalled to a later date of itunes. I've rebooted.. please HELP!! iTunes stopped recognising my iPhone after I undated hence the reverte back to an older iTunes version. My phone's cord is fine it will charge in the wall on the dock as well iTunes just isn't recognising it?!?!
iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

Help itunes won download tried everything please help
ok just got my itouch today and tried to download itunes it got to the part where the green is almost finished and it says on the status bar that it is starting services then a thing pops up and says ipod service modulestopped working and was closed then in small lettering under that it says a problem caused the application to stop working i have looked around to see if i could find something that might help and have found nothing so please someone help me
However I try to open it (double clicking/right click and launch/run as administrator) the little blue circle appears that shows something is happening (like the old egg timer) for about ten seconds, then nothing.
Many thanks.
Some questions aimed at narrowing in even further on possible culprits.
(1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
(2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?
