Permission when syncing phone into new mac.

I've got a new Mac and when I'm trying to sync my phone, it comes up with a message 'Itunes could not connect to this Iphone. You do not have permission'. How do I fix this?

I'm having the same issue getting iTunes on my new iMac to recognize the iPhone I've been using for the past year. I don't want to sync it to the library but I do want to be able to manage it using iTunes on the new computer rather than going back to the old computer all the time.

Can I keep my app list when syncing to a new Mac?

I bought a new iMac as my main computer and want all of my family's idevices synced to the new mac instead of the old one. When I synced my iPhone, it kept my data fine, but it installed every app in my library that would fit on it (about 800 apps!) instead of the select few hundred I had installed on it before.
I want to sync my wife's iPod touch to it now but I don't want this same issue as it takes HOURS to go through and select the right apps. Is there any way to sync to a new computer and have only those apps that are already installed on the device be installed after the sync?
Thanks!

Use the Mac Migration Assistant to more all the iTunes information to your new computer. This includes the backup of the iDevices. Then you should be able to restore the iDevices from the backup of the device.
Also, you might want to explain better how you transfered and synced with your new computer.

Why won't my iPhone 3gs create a backup when sync with my new Mac?

When I attempt to backup my iphone 3gs with my new iMac, it syncs fine but won't create a backup. The apps aren't saving on iTunes so I can't upgrade the phone without losing some apps. I never had a problem with my old PC. Is there something I need to do to authorize a backup on the new computer? I already authorized the computer with iTunes so I could play my music, but I must be missing something with the phone. Please help.

Hi,
You have 2 solutions:
1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
You configure that in Settings > icloud
You activate or desactivate what you want.
Have a nice day.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

When i plug my phone into the mac it shows me my screen and the apps on it, how can i keep these apps on my computer?

Ensure that you computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase the apps i(n iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

I plugged my phone into my Mac which i have never synced before and it restored ALL of my old things from my old phone. is there a way to undo everything?

iPods do not work with "accounts." They work with your iTunes library. You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod. One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time. iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content. Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to? If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library. Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library. You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

My friend gave me his old touch, however it won't sync with my new mac but it charges the itouch so i was wondering how i could sync it to my iTunes.

Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

HT4137 I plugged our phone into our mac to charge it and it changed the name of the phone to my wife's phone. Attempt to backup from I cloud only gives backups since the name change. How do I reclaim my phone's name?

I plugged my i phone into our mac just to recharge it and somehow it recognized it as my wife's phone and changed the name of the phone to hers. I lost the carrier I was using, though it still can connect to internet. I tried to erase all settings and content, and then back up from I cloud, but it only offered backups since the name was changed. I can't make any calls at this point.

Just plugging it in doesn't change the name. If this was the first time you connected to this computer, you should have selected "Set up as New Device".
You will need to restore and since you no longer have a backup for this phone, you will lose your data.

Why dosen't my i-pod sync to my new mac mini?

Hello everyone - I am sure the answer to this is pretty simple. But then so am I. Hence the request for help.
I had my i-pod sync'd to an i-mac at my old job. I have since gone freelance and bought a little mac mini to run things from.
However - when I try to sync from the new mac mini my i-pod isn't found - scan for device dosen't find it. I have tried a reset of i-sync but still nothing.
Is there something I can do so the new mac 'finds' my i-pod?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks to anyone who can help

If you are using iTunes 4.8 or later, iSync is not involved in transfering your contact and calendaring records to an iPod - iTunes alone is responsible for this process.
Setting up to sync your iPod
If you do not have iTunes 4.8 or later installed on your computer, you can use iSync to transfer the contact and calendar information on your computer to your iPod. Before you can use iSync with your iPod, you need to add your iPod to iSync by following the instructions below. You need to do this only once.
If you have iTunes 4.8 or later, you use iTunes to transfer contacts and calendars to your iPod. For more information, open iTunes (in your Applications folder), and choose Help > "iTunes and Music Store Help."
To add your iPod to iSync:
1. Make sure you have the latest iPod software installed. Choose Apple menu > Software Update to see if there are any iPod software updates available.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer using the cable provided with your iPod.
3. Open iSync.
4. Choose Devices > Add Device, then double-click the iPod in the Add Device window.
An iPod appears in the iSync window.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps crashing when syncing with the new Ipad

Glad to find this forum!
It's been a disappointing and frustrating week for me as I have tried to sync my new ipad with itunes 10.6.1.7. Itunes keeps crashing without reasons when syncing either apps, music or videos. Btw, I am using Windows XP SP3.
So far, I have not been able to play any videos because Itunes always crashes.
I have tried to re-install Itunes for more than 5 times [with fresh install] but the problem still occurs. I have also tried to downgrade to Itunes 10.5.3 as suggested in the other threads but Itunes still crashes. This only happens when syncing with the new Ipad.
I have an Ipod Nano which works great on both version of Itunes.
I am really disappointed because I can't watch movies and/or listen to music on my new ipad because it keeps crashing.
My wish is just simple. I just want to be able to watch movies and listen to my music on my new ipad. Sadly, this is not possible yet.
Can anyone help?

I get the exactly the same problem with win 7, i rang apple support who suggested i try another machine/or create another account on my machine???? why should i, stupid ipad 3rd gen is now sitting here un syncable, apple support ....tut tut very poor support, its a shame im out of the 7 day period otherwise this ipad would be going straight back, older versions of itunes worked fine, some one must know a fix for this??
