Problem with syncing devices to iTunes

I have an iPhone and an iPod touch that used to be synced with my iTunes, but now neither show up when I plug them into my computer, so I can't manage music and apps on either of my devices. Any tips?

    i have problems with sync ibooks from iTunes to my iPad since i update to ios7

    first you plug your device into your computer, then you select the name of your device on the left side of itunes. then you select 'apps' from the top center of the itunes window, and you check the apps that you want to go from the computer to the device
    once you've done that, you press the 'apply' button in the lower right corner
    this will be the same for anything you want to go from the computer to the device
    you'll select the appropriate tab at the top, then only check information you want to go from the computer the device and then hit 'apply'

  • Problems with syncing interface in ITunes 10

    Hey all,
    I just bought myself a new pc with windows7 64bit. After installing the new Itunes10 i connected my Ipad to my pc. W7 recognised the device, but it seems Itunes doesn't show my Ipad. I reinstalled Itunes, but this didn't help the problem. I also tried connecting my Ipad to every usb port that was on my pc, but none seemed to work so to show my Ipad in Itunes. This is very strange, cause on my old pc with w7 32bit and Itunes9 it showed my Ipad perfectly. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Problems with Syncing Photos between ITunes and iPad

    Dear Mac Users,
    1. I have been syncing Ipad and my MacBook Pro using I Tunes a lot.
    2. My storage habits are Standard so all files are imported using iTunes and all in Pictures Folder, important using ITunes.
    3. Recently i add new Photo event to sync, it does optimization shows me total number of files, start copying and then stops and here is a message comes up:
    ''The IPad cannot be synced. The required file can not be found"
    4.Files are there , I see them both on IPhoto and on Disk.
    Can you help with resolving this issue.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Alkhas

    I assume it is a POP account. Each individual device should have the setting for what to do with an email when it's (automatically) downloaded: in Mail it's in Preferences>Accounts>Advanced:
    If it's not checked, mail will be left on the server indefinitely. If it's checked and the drop-down menu set to remove mail immediately that's what will happen; or you have a choice of how long before it's removed. The removal takes place when you check mail, I don't know whether iOS devices have the same setting or where it is.
    You can see that if it's set differently on different devices you may get confusing results. I would suggest setting to one month on all devices, if you can, so that each has a chance to access the emails.
    Just to prevent confusion: iCloud email does not work like this.

  • Problems with syncing iPhone to iTunes - please assist

    I recently bought a new laptop & downloaded iTunes - when I try to sync my iPhone 4S I get an error message stating "the iPhone ____ couldn't be synced as the sync session failed to start". Has anyone else faced this problem? How do I resolve it? Grateful for any tips. #

    Hello there, kd.arunkumar.
    I would recommend closing all open applications in multitasking, power cycling the device and restarting iTunes. The following Knowledge Base articles outline how to do these steps:
    iOS: Force an app to close.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    and
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Then restart iTunes on your computer.
    Once you have processed these steps, attempt to sync again.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Having problems with syncing iPad from iTunes

    I am trying to sync a playlist from my itunes to my ipad but every time i do, it won't upload onto my ipad. It actually takes music off. I don't know if i need to restore the ipad and resync the whole thing or if there is a way i can just get it to resync my music. When I go to the tab of "on this ipad" this is what i get I understand that the cirlces on the left of the songs are the songs that aren't available on my ipad but how to i re upload them??? every time i try to sync nothing happens at step 6 other then "waiting for changes to be made" and it finishes. i haven't seen any songs go onto my ipad. and everything is updated.
    Please help.

    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

  • Problem with syncing apps in iTunes

    Hello Apple Support Communities
    I have recently synced my iPod, and I saw that the 'Sync Apps' option was unchecked.
    I checked it, and I synced my iPod, and it said to authorise my Apple ID.
    After I authorised my Apple ID, it said that it is already authorised and when I click OK, it says the same message.
    Any way I can solve this problem?

  • Problems with syncing music on iTunes

    I connected my iPhone to computer and the space left bar on the summary tab on the interface for it in iTunes is just showing all of the data is 'other'. No music or videos are showing up on my iPhone either although before i connected it they did, on iTunes no music or video is showing up when i click on the options in the drop down menus. No other data appears to have been lost as i still have all my apps that I have downloaded on there. Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on hwta caused this or any solutions to this problem? Any help would be appreciated

    I'm having exactly the same problem- have tried uninstalling my apps, and manually synching things, but can't work out what 'other'things I have that are filling up my memory!

  • Problem with syncing ipod to itunes after recovering windows 4 times

    To clean my computer from viruses I recover the system frequently.  The only programs on the computer are internet browsers and itunes.  The Ipod is a 2009 nano.  Itunes has been very good until my last system recovery.  It now thinks the computer is new which it is not. How do I keep from losing the songs I have purchased and reinstalling my CD back to Itunes?  I only have 1 more recovery until I reach 5.

    First see this article.

    that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
    No, it does not.  It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer.  The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

    my playlists wont show up on the phone.
    Are they selected to sync?  Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

    What does that have to do with syncing content to the device?  FYI, nothing.

  • 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 have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

    So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct?  Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order?  Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
    If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe. 
    The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver.  If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details).  When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
    There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver.  The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

  • HT1296 Have a problem with syncing. I get this message: The ipod Bill's Ipod" cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 2.4GB required) I don't understand as I have much more space than 2

    I recently ran into a problem with syncing my ipod touch to itunes on my Windows 7 pc. It had previously been synced to my older laptop
    and I wanted to change to my newer Windows 7 laptop's itunes library that I had already been syncing with.
    Anyway, I started seeing this message that prevents my from syncing:
    The iPod "Bill's iPod" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library
    (additional 2.48 GB required)  
    Not sure if it is talking about my iPod free space or my PC itunes library free space. Either way I have 11.0 GB free space available
    on my iPod and 412 GB free space available on my Windows 7 PC.
    How do I handle this problem?   Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    It is saying that the iPod does not have enough free storage to sync all the items yu have selected to sync to the iPod. You need 2.48 GB more free on the iPod. You need either to select less to sync or delete some content form the iPod.
