Replacement iphone doesn't sync

I have a new iphone 4 that replaces an earlier model. The first iphone4 was faulty and was replaced. I had attempted to sync the faulty one and it would repeat the sync routine then crash then restart and go through the same routine ad infinitum. The new phone seems to sync fine. However, I cannot see or import a couple of movies I made last night. They are on the phone and operate/view fine. However they do not sync to iTunes. I was able to import them to iPhoto and view them on Quicktime, but they will not open in iMovie for editing. Something is corrupt or wrong with the sync and might be a hang over from the faulty iphone. Help/Suggestions please.

I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

I recently got a replacement iPhone and when syncing it I found I lost all my downloaded music in my iPod, can I get it back?

I lost all content on my ipod after connecting it to a new computer. I had brought my iTunes library over from the old computer and had the most recent iTunes installed, but iTunes didn't see the ipod. Long & short of it is I worked with Apple support, finally was able to restore the ipod and everything looked like it was syncing normally. When I ejected the ipod there was no content on it at all. After trying several times unsuccessfully to get it reloaded and another session with Apple support, they suggested the ipod was damaged. Since it was working fine up till that point I doubted that. I then thought it might be the iTunes library that was corrupt so I checked that. (It's fine.) So I found an ipod repair place (authorized Apple dealer) and when I called them they found that it appears to be an issue with iTunes software itself and pretty much said I have to wait for an update to fix the issue. So I did everything you're supposed to do & it messed up my ipod. Now iTunes doesn't recognize thje ipod again!

ICal on iPhone doesn't sync with mobile or computer

I can add an entry to the iCal on my iPhone, but it doesn't send the entry to my mobile me account. Also, I can add an entry to iCal on my Mac, and sync it to iPhone, but the entries put on my iPhone do not sync to the iCal on my Mac. What's up with that?
Can someone give me a "for Dummies" overview on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Gr8fulted,
Can someone give me a "for Dummies" overview on how to resolve this?
Try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

Replacement iPhone will not sync with existing library on external HD

I had an iPhone, and all of my music is on an external hard drive. Everything synced and worked great, no problems. However, the Apple store just replaced my iPhone on a warranty issue, and now my iPhone will not sync with my itunes. Itunes and my external hard drive work great, but the minute i plug in my new replacement iPhone, it instantly crashes my external hard drive and will not sync any of my music. Ideas?

Hi,
The issue might be caused by the USB connection. Try directly connecting both devices to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 provides additional USB troubleshooting tips.
Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.

Old iPhone doesn't sync

Hi,
I have an oldish iPhone that appears unable to sync.
iPhone specs:
Version:     3.0.1 (7A400)
Model:       MB489X
Size:          7.1G
Computer:
Laptop i7 on Windows 7 (brand new)
I hadn't synced my phone for a long time - probably a year or two. A few months ago, I changed internet/phone companies from Telstra to Optus (Australia), hense my email address has also changed. I found my old log-in to iTunes (thank goodness). I recently also swapped my iPhone mobile carrier from Telstra to Optus and was told that I needed to sync and change carriers using iTunes. I went home, started my laptop in order to load iTunes and found that it had broken down (defunct video card - proof that somebody up there wasn't on my side that day!)
Anyway, a brand new laptop later loaded with Windows 7 (goodbye Vista - and STAY OUT!). Set up with internet, browser, email etc. Loaded iTunes and installed it. Initially my phone wouldn't sync (I think) because I wasn't logged in (something about it was already synced to another computer? Probably my old unworking one). Found my old password, so I thought "OK, now I'm cooking with gas". Not so.
The iPhone connected to the new system and was listed under the DEVICES and immediately came up with the message regarding new carrier information and I said yes to this (that was my main aim, having been without a mobile for about a week now). But when I clicked the "Sync"button it looks like it's going to sync with "Preparing to Sync, Step 1 of 1", but then doesn't. I tried this multiple times.
One thing, it does specify that an update is available for iPhone, version 4.2. When I click this, it warns that I should sync first. Perhaps this is the reason it won't sync? Catch 22 possibly? Is my iPhone software so old that it is no longer backward compatable with iTunes? Surely not...
I have not changed any defaults on iTunes etc. I also have no difficulty in the past syncing this iPhone.
Could anyone help with why this might be happening and how to fix it? Now that I have iTunes, I would like to have a backup as my phone is quite old now and is more likely to cark it on me without warning.

Might I also add that the options for syncing also appear to be one way. When I click to sync music and audiobooks, a message appears stating that if I accept this that all info on my phone will be replaced with that on my pc. There is nothing on my PC yet. I want the sync to occur the other way around - create a backup of my phone - not wipe it because there is nothing on iTunes yet. Note that it doesn't say that for photos.
What am I missing?

PLEASE: How can I save my iphone texts and "notes" (not "the note") to my computer? I need them for reference and legal purposes. I have yet to find an app for this and iphone doesn't sync either one.

Greetings!
I am brand new to using a Support Community -- I'm more of a in-person show me learner but...huge snowstorm and I don't want to
to make an appointment at a Genius Bar, driving 15 miles, especially since I asked about this once before and no one there was able to
give me an "official" Apple answer . I do hope I am posting my question (and plea) for help properly.
LOL when I had my first lil' Mac Classic, over 20 years ago, my participation in the techno world was soooo much easier, simpler.
My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for
future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself.
I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and
my MacBook Pro.
Also I often use Notes for quick journaling as well as copy and pasting from other apps, usually inspirational, that I know I am going to want
to read again (always with credit noted ) and these too are taking up space. If I could email myself I would but the apps I'm using don't offer that and each day there is a new commentary -- no way to go "back".
I am currently using OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook -- my disc drive doesn't work and upgrading has to be done at the Apple Store so I don't have iCloud yet.
My iphone 4 is running OS 6.0.1 -- no upgrade until I'm at a wifi connection -- most of the time I'm using my personal hotspot.
I'm a very busy self-employed Nana raising grandchildren and a great-grandchild. I don't have a lot of time and certainly not enough for copying and pasting every text as well as note and emailing it to myself. There has got to be a better, easier way, yes?
I'd be most appreciative of any and all assistance here. Oh, someone mentioned to me I ought to get a "stick" for downloading but were talking
in a language I'm still learning.
Thank you!
Melinda

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

My Macbook Pro no longer recognizes my iPhone! My iPhone doesn't sync, what do I do?

My iPhone used to trust my Macbook Pro and sync, but now it doesn't and there's no option to "Trust this computer"

Are you using a genuine Apple cable? Do other USB devices work?

My ipad and iphone doesn't sync google calendar when my mac does

Hi,
since december or so I have been having trouble with my iCalendar. I sync several calendars, one of them is google calendar. This calendar is not visible on my iPad and my iPhone, but it is visible on my Mac. I checked several times if it is marked on my iPhone and my iPad and it is. Still, it doesn't download and I don't see this calendar...
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks

Try changing Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Calendars > Sync to All Events

My calendar on iPhone doesn't sync with my iPad or mac

I have i cloud on all three of my apple devices. When I add to my calendar on my I Phone it doesn't syn to my Mac or I Pad. Help

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Replacement iphone will not sync!

I recently had my iphone replaced under insurance. The new phone is activated and making calls but when i plug it into itunes, it recognises it as 'iphone' (appearing on the left column) but the main box where it is supposed to have all the info (including options for syncing) is completely blank.
I have just downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes and the problem is the same.
Please help!
I have the latest macbook and am running Mac OS X 10.5.7.

My new (replacement) iPhone will not sync with iTunes on my Macbook.

My old (two weeks old, replacement of an old broken one) iPhone sync'd just fine, but kept going off. The new one will not sync at all, nor will it save my email passwords. Any clues?

Did you try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data?

My iPhone doesn't sync to iTunes, iTunes syncs back to my phone

I tried to sync my iPhone 3G but instead of syncing all my new songs and folders to iTunes, iTunes synced back to my phone. Lost over 200 songs and all my folders. Use my phone in my fitness classes, all of my folders were set up with my songs for certain classes, at least 6 months of work got lost. Also, I have over 40 apps, non of them shows up in my iTunes store. Very frustrating
Please help, iTunes and iPhone giving me an ulcer and sleepless nights! Can I get my lost folders/songs/apps back? And how can I do that? How can I avoid this happening again?

The iPhone, like all iOS devices, is not and has never been a backup device.
If content is missing from the computer, copy it from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.
Not syncing regularly is simply asking for problems.
Devices are easily lost, stolen, or simply fail. In your case, had your device simply failed or been lost you would be out of everything.
Unfortunately, if they are not on the device or in iTunes on the computer they are gone.
The only reason syncing would cause them to "disappear" is because this is not the computer the device is synced with.
I would strongly encourage you to read the User's Guide to better understand how the device is designed to be used.

After upgrading to iTunes 11, iPhone doesn't sync w/wi-fi

I used to launch iTunes and it would see my iPhone 4. After the update to 11, it no longer syncs unless I plug the phone into my mac (usb). If I go to the phone and click sync now, it sits there trying to find my mac. Never does. Any ideas? Is there a prefernce in itunes that I don't know about? Coudn't find one...
Thanks

On the device summary page in iTunes 11. Under the option setting is Turn on Wifi Sync.
With your phone conneted by USB if it is already checked I would uncheck it Click Apply
Then when sync has finished check it an resync. When all is done disconnect your iPhone and it should remain in the lefthand sidebar.
If You do not have the sidebar turned on then View > Show Sidebar

IPhone doesn't sync all my files

Hey there,
I've recently been having problem syncing. I convert my own video files to watch on my iPhone 4 (using iOS 4.1). I have been doing this for years with no issues. Recently, I've been having an issue where the phone will randomly not copy one of the files to my phone. When I resync or drag the files to my iPhone they will copy and play with no problem (in other words, its not a problem with the video file).
Any idea what is causing this problem?

I understand the reason to decluter your list of contacts, although I personally have some contacts information added manually to my phone, and I enjoyed having those contacts sync with their facebook account, where I was able to sync their picture and also their birthday information for example, then I had it on my calendar and all that. That was very helpful and a feature that I had with my blackberry a couple of years ago, and iPhone didn't have it back then.
Anyway, now I'm kinda stuck, because I know that I have some people that are somewhat important to me, who's birthdays are not going to be on my calendar, and most likely won't remember (and I know you would say that if that person is important to you, you would always remember), but you know that is not true all the time. Sometimes you have a relative that would actually enjoy a call or a little message on his/her birthday even though you haven't talk to that person in a while, and with that little help I got it from facebook, I was able to do that. Not anymore... that's a bummer.
At least, blackberry would recognize that you have such contact on your phone that you entered manually when syncing, and asked you if you wanted to sync, in that way you would only have sycn those who you enter manually, and not those other ones that I would say are not that important that you don't even have their number, although you are still friends with them on facebook.
I hope this application or capability somehow gets fixed to improve it's performance, because as other people mentioned, it was good to have it, and sometimes it would just messed up with the contact cards, and things like that, but at least you had it sync, even though with errors, but it worked.
