Recently, my iPhone 4 will not start syncing.

I ran the restore, which erased my content on the phone and, without being able to sync, the phone will not restore my content from my source computer (MacBook Pro).   Any help?

    Suggestions:  1. make sure you have the lates version of iTunes; 2. try resetting your iPhone before syncing (
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears;  when you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot); 3. try using a different cable.

  • I had trouble with a iTunes download.  Two songs of an album were not complete.  I contacted iTunes and yawl post the the download again.  My iTunes now has the complete copies.  The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies.  What up?

    I had trouble with a iTunes download.  Two songs of an album were not complete.  I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes.  My iTunes now has the complete copies.  The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies.  It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs.  I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync.  Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone.  What's up?  What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    I did an automatic update to my daughter's iphone and it did not complete the update from version 6.0 to I believe 8. I waited for hours but the line stopped at 70%. I tried to restore my old settings but now my iphone will not start. When I try to start the
    phone, I see the apple and a white line that never moves past 15%.

    Hi JG14usa,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.

  • HT201413 my iphone will not start,,,

    SORY,,, my IPhone will not start,,, his cannot turn on

    Plug it into external power for approximately 20 minutes.
    If it does not power on at that point, try a reset by pressing and holding the power and home buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • HT4623 My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

    My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

    After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

    My Iphone will not come on, all it does is beep every 2 seconds.

    Have you taken any troubleshooting steps?
    Start by resetting your iPhone, hold both power and home buttons together for 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then let go and wait for iPhone to restart.  You will not lose any information.

  • After 2.2 Update, iPhone will not stop "syncing"

    I have the original 8 GB iPhone. I recently updated to the new version of iTunes (8.0.2.20), as well as the new version of the iPhone software (2.2). I had no issues regarding the phone itself, or syncing, until after I updated to version 2.2.
    After the 2.2 update my phone won't stop syncing. When I first sync the phone, it will backup, then sync the calendars and contacts, and music, etc. However, when all of this is done, it is still syncing. In iTunes it says "syncing iPhone" at the top, and the little "busy" wheel is turning next to my device listed on the left side of iTunes. On the iPhone it still says "sync in progress." I have left the phone syncing is the dock/cradle for several hours, and it still continues to "sync".
    If I cancel the sync, or eject the phone (to cancel the sync), and i go into my phone I see that everything appears to have synced just fine, even though it showed as still syncing.
    Long story short, it appears everything is syncing fine, but the only way to get it to stop syncing is to cancel it myself. Any ideas as to why this would be happening? And what can I do to fix it? Thanks for any help.

    I notice this happened to mine before I restored it. I know it sounds like a hassle, but restoring your phone would not only make the syncs faster in the future and leave you without problems, but it would also make the installation of apps much quicker and make the phone itself "speedier". When I say restore the phone, I don't mean from a backup, but make it a new iPhone. Start fresh. Sometimes after numerous updates and changes to music and data on the iPhone and even iTunes, it sort of "clogs" up the potential speed that the phone has. Believe me, I saw a huge difference after doing this. So make sure you back up the phone and anything you could have stored on applications. If you don't want to risk losing data from apps, you could just back up the phone and restore using the latest backup if you wish. If you do that, you will have to resync all the music/photos/calendars/contacts that you have on your phone if you automatically sync them. I prefer not using the backup, but it's still an option. Good luck if that doesn't work, you could try reinstalling iTunes. That helps out pretty well also.

  • My iphone will not wifi sync

    Im trying to get my iphone 5 to wifi sync with my macbook pro but its not doing it
    I have tried everything i can think of:
    -iphone is plugged in
    -itunes is open
    -itunes(when phone was plugged in) is checked for wifi sync
    -the apple ID's are the same
    -they are connected to same wifi
    The weird thing is that when i remove the usb cable, after my phone is plugged in, the device disappears which im pretty sure isnt supposed to happen. If i go to the top bar > devices i can see the name of my iphone but its greyed out and unselectable.
    If im using a school network(which requires a login) would that affect the sync even though the phone and laptop are both connected?
    CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIX THIS???

  • My iPhone will not longer sync my calendars

    My iPhone4 will no longer sync my calendars with my iMac.

    My problem comes and goes. Everything syncs perfectly across platforms then suddenly one "calendar" in the cloud disappears from my iphone. I haven't changed any settings, so it has to be a bug in the software or a glitch in the cloud.
    This morning I see that a scheduled appointment randomly disappeared from my phone. This is a BIG problem for business users.

  • My iPhone will not start

    Please help me

    Try these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • My iPhone will not start after new software update. Freeze on apple screen

    I updated the phone software today through the new software update directly from the phone and it will not restart past the apple screen. I have tried a hard restart, no dice.
    wish I had waited.

    Got it back up and working by putting in recovery mode and restoring through itunes, but lost lots of settings and app. info. I took about 4 efforts to resync after restore, not sure why, certainly not smooth or intuitive. 2 hours of my life I wish I had back.
