Problem syncing an iphone

   i have an iphone 4 16GB and a windows xp computer service pack 3 and my brother has an iphone 4 16Gb with his own wins xp pc with sp 3 too. when i sync my iphone on my pc it is not recognized but when i sync it on my brothers pc it is recongnized. The irony is my brother is able to sync his own iphone on the two pc's which is his own pc and mine.
     i did the following as basic troubleshooting.
 my itunes was updated to 10.2.2   > no go
 my iphone is on ios 4.3.3 > no go
 i uninstalled and reinstalled itunes using HT1923 > no go
 i reseted my iphone   > no go
 i tried a new users account just for verification purpose again on my pc > no go
 i did a hard reset just to try > no go
NB my brother syncs his own iphone well but mine is not recognized on my pc. But works perfectly well on my brothers won pls can some one help me!!!!!!

Finally answered my own question: all the apps in question have been "upgraded" and no longer work on iPhones running OS 3.1.3. You gotta love progress.

HT1386 I'm having a problem syncing my Iphone 4 to iTunes.

I am having a problem syncing my Iphone 4 to Itunes, how can I fix this problem?

Is it just your home WiFi, or all WiFi? If it is just your home network start by rebooting your router. Turn it off or unplug its power for 15 seconds or so.

Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

I just brought a new macbook pro but am hving problems syncing ipad/iphone 4

i just got my new macbook pro. i used my time machine to back up old macbook and then used it to put all my files on new one but when i try to sync ipad i get transfere purchaes .. but when i do that all my things say there not allowed on this mac as im not autherised... erm my mac my ipad my files.. same itunes account logged into both.. whats the problem??? and the other option is to erase and sync .. but i would lose 2 movies and a tv serries plus music and apps????

Try de authorizing your old mac and then authorising your new mac, that will sort all your apps out in the purchased section, regarding all your data, films etc on your ipad/iphone you will have to use a programme to get the data from your iphone to new mac. i had the same problem, i used to an app called "pod to Mac" which did the job for me by taking all my data off my iphone 4 and putting it onto my mac, i then opened the files on my mac with the relevant programmes like itunes etc and then synced my iphone to my new mac.
hope that helps

Hi am having problem syncing my iphone 3GS to my pc. It keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 and run for hours and not sync. I have restarted my pc many times plugged and unplugged my iphone and it does not work at all.

I have been having trouble syncing my iphone after updating version 10. Satus keeps showing backing up step 1 of 4 forever on my pc. I have tried re plugging and restarting my pc but none work so far. I have not been able to sync my iphone since. Help!? Pls

Thanks for the stellar reply gdgmacguy. I had no idea the AppleID used to purchase the device was forever tied to it. Great to know.
May I add another layer of complexity to the issue? I plan on buying her the iPhone 4S for Christmas. Assumed all I would have to do is sync the new phone to iTunes on her pc and all her data/apps/music/pictures would transfer over.
Can I use her new account when I sync the 4S for the first time or will it prompt me for mine?
Thanks again.

Problem syncing upgrade iPhone with older Macbook

Today I synced my iPhone 3GS for the first time with my Dad's Macbook Pro. I updated my iPhone to version 4.3.2m as it suggested. Now I can't (re)sync my iPhone to my own (older) Macbook Pro (10.4.11). It says I need iTunes 10 , but I can't get that with 10.4.11. Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard and if so will I lose all my documents and files? thanks.

What version of iTunes do you have on your Mac : iTunes > About iTunes ? And what version of OS X do you have on your Mac ?

Having problems syncing to iPhone and iPad

Im really struggling to sync my photos to my iphone, I tell it which projects to copy over and then it just randomly copies some of them sometimes then other times none and doesnt copy over information such as faces and places.
On my ipad it syncs them fine but a lot of the photos are blurry...which they aint on my aperture?!

Try this. Go into the Aperture library (Control-Click on it and "Show Package Contents".) Delete the folder "iPod Photo Cache".) Sync your iPhone (and/or iPad and/or iPod) again. This may solve it. If this short procedure doesn't work, the try the long way:
1) Uncheck the "Synch Photos from ..." box in iTunes. Sync to delete the photos from the i*. Quit iTunes.
2) Start Aperture. Select all the previews that you want on your i*. Choose Delete Previews from the Photos menu. Quit Aperture.
3) Delete the iPod Cache folder from the Aperture library as described above.
4) Launch Aperture, select the photos (projects, albums, ...) you are synching and do Generate Previews from the Photos menu. Quit Aperture.
5) Launch iTunes, and recheck the Synch Photos box, choose the stuff you want synched, and then hit the Apply (or Sync) button.
Please let people know if this works.

How do I fix the problem syncing the iPhone do save my apps again and do not delete them?, How do I fix the problem syncing the iPhone do save my apps again and do not delete them?

I have a problem! I was using my iPhone without sync. Then I format my pc again and I was syncing with it and I got distracted and clicked on something and after even if a click sync, change anything and applying and erasing the historical syncronization under preferences it doesn't work... On sync it keeps deleting my apps from my iPhone instead saving it! If I change anything and click applying show a message ask if I want to delete those apps which I have on my iPhone then if I click continue it will be deleted it and if a press cancel do not do nothing neither sync.
I tried to unistall and install more than 2 times and repeat the steps for sync and don't change!
What I supposed to do? Please need help!
Thank you!
My itunes it's the last 10.2.2 and my iPhone 4 is bb 02.10.04 and running at 4.1 which I don't want to update to don't suffer more errors like people said they do.

Hi,
This should only occur if this is a NEW computer or your first sync and you have information from another computer.
Has this iPhone been synced with another computer before?
Transferring Purchases; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you follow that link your Apps WILL be on your computer and any music you have brought......
Now, do not worry, even if you do accidentally delete your apps, you can download them again for free with your itunes store account, just keep in mind you will lose any saved data!
Follow this and hit continue, the only information that could get lost is any content (music, videos etc) synced from ANOTHER computer that WAS NOT brought from your account.
Hope this helps and makes sense....

Problem syncing to iPhone - no 'events'

Hi everyone,
I'm syncing iPhoto with my iPhone but having a little problem.
I want the photos to display on the iPod in the same 'folders' that they do in iPhoto. EG - I have 'Christmas 2007' in iPhoto.
But, when I sync, I only have the choice of 'All' or 'Last 12 Months' or 'Last Sync'.
I want all photos on my iPhone but after syncing they're not split up by event or date, but just all appear in one huge folder.
Is there any way of splitting them up?
Hope this makes sense!

Great, thanks! I should have realised

Aperture 3 problems syncing to iPhone

I'm trying to sync "selected albums" from Aperture 3 in iTunes 9.0.3 and can't get the smart albums "In the last week" & "In the last month" to show any photos. They list 0 photos.
Furthermore every time I sync, iTunes automatically unchecks the "In the last month" selection.
Anyone have a fix? I tried rebuilding previews, thumbnails and deleting the "iPod Photo Cache."

Had same problem after upgrading to the great new Aperture 3.0
Have been on the phone with all the Aperture experts..to make the sync work with iPhone. To no avail.
They suggested building new database, etc. etc.
I believe I have now finally found the solution: 3.0 is 64 bits and you need to redo the prpcessing of all your images for iTunes to sync properly.
Try: "control click on project" in Aperture. In doalog box: Click on "reprocess masters"
Do this first with a small project as it take long.
Then try to sync with this project ONLY (unselect all others) and you will see that it will now sync with these processed pictures.
Also: keep Aperture open all night as it will process, without the above action in the background...
Hope this helps.
JER
