Since downloading IOS 7.0.4 my iPhone will no longer sync using USB cable because of "Error -50"?????

Why, after installing IOS 7.0.4 will my iPhone only sync with my MacBook Pro using wi-fi and NOT when using the USB cable? An error message appears citing "Error -50" for which I can find no recent fix online as all the problems are related to some years ago?

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

  • Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4 I do not have the ability to connect to wifi.  I can't even move the on/off button at all. Also, the "personal hot spot"

    Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4, I cannot connect to wifi. The button is greyed out, so I can't even turn it on. I can't download the upgraded version that fixes some of the bugs because you have to be able to connect to the internet to download it.  I also noticed that under "Settings", my Bluetooth and Personal Hot Spot settings are constantly roaming with the circle that just keeps going around and around. I've tried everthing (I think). It was directly related to the 7.0 download because it happened right away. Any ideas? I listen to a lot of eBooks when I commute each day and I need to connect to the internet to download the full versions. I miss my books!!

    See if this helps you with the wifi issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

  • Iphone will no longer sync to my power mac

    The latest version of iTunes will not install on my mac since I have a PowerPC G5 and OSX 10.5.8.  But now my iPhone 4 (and I have already ordered an iPhone 5) will no longer sync!
    How can I now sync / put music on and off of my iPhone? 

    Buy a new, refurbished, or secondhand Intel Mac. While iTunes 10.6.3 can sync the iPhone 4 from a PowerPC Mac, the iPhone 5 absolutely requires Mac OS X 10.6.8, which requires an Intel Mac.

  • 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.

  • Mophie iPhone 5 Case - iPhone will no longer charge using the apple cable.

    Hi All,
    In July, I purchased a Mophie Case for my iPhone 5. Everything was going great until I realized a few months later that my iPhone would no longer charge using my apple cable. It would only charge using my mophie. Turns out my husband, who also has a mophie case, was experiencing the same issue, my case is the mophie Juice Pack Air and my husbands is the mophie Juice Pack Helium Battery Case. Later I was telling this to a friend at work and she mentioned having the exact same this happen to her phone after using a mophie.
    I contacted mophie, not to try and get anything, just to let them know and see if they had any ideas.... well they were not receptive at all. They said,  "I do not think that the juice packs could have done that to your phones. I would need some sort of objective evidence." I said that multiple customers experience is evidence, to which they said "I need objective evidence. Simply because a person thinks they know the cause, doesn't mean they do. If there was an Apple engineer saying that it was the cause...heresay does not constitute solid evidence."
    So yeah... apparently a customer calling to let them know their experience is meaningless to them. So I am turning to the apple community. Has anyone ever experienced this with there mophie. Any ideas why this may have happened? We have only used the cord that came with the case and apple cables on our phones.
    Any info you have would be appreciated.
    Thanks so Much,
    Jamye

    Mophie was not denying that you had a problem charging your phone. What they were telling you was that what you don't have is proof that the mophie case caused the problem. It might be, it might not be. As the saying goes, correlation does not prove causality. What troubleshooting steps have you taken? 
    I used first the mophie Helium and then a mophie SpacePak on my 5S without it imparing my ability to charge it with my Apple cables or other lightning cables (Belkin car charger). And I've known many other people who haven't had a problem.

  • Ever since updating to IOS5 my iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes on my computer. It states that my computer is not authorized to sync with my iPhone yet it is authorized. My "Music" folder on my iPhone is now showing as completely empty.

    Hey guys. Can you please help me? My iphone is not showing that I own ANY music anymore. It will not sync at all with my Itunes ever since downloading ios5. It states my computer is not authorized but it is...... I had no problems with my ipad, all of my music transferred just fine. I have no idea what to do now with my iphone except maybe a restore???
    You all are much smarter than me. ;-) Can you help? Thank you.
    Heather

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.
