Suddenly my ipod and iphone will not sync with my macbook pro

sync was working until about a week ago with all of my devices (Ipod/iphone)
Sync is now greyed out, and it says the sync will resume when the macbook pro is available.
Why isn't it available now?
can I manually make it available?
thanks.

Are yo trying to sync via wifi?
If so:

Otherwise try restoring from backup

My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro. it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone. However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized. How do I fix this?

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

HT202778 My iPod and iPad will not sync with iTunes

Help! What has changed that all of a sudden, (within the past 3 days) I no longer can sync my iPod and iPad with iTunes on my Mac. What has changed? Everything is up-to-date on all of my machines/devices/software

I had difficulties syncing my iPad Air last week that I have since resolved by changing back a few of my settings to what I had been using in the past. I have now synced my iPhone 5S multiple times (via USB cable) to the latest iTunes version on my Mac Pro with no issues.   In my situation, I don't know if the problems I had originally experienced in syncing the iPad Air was partly because I was making an initial attempt at syncing with a new Mac Pro and a copy of iTunes (whereby the iTunes sync options defaulted to Apple's original settings) or if it was because my previous settings were just overridden. In either case, my issues were resolved as follows:
     1) on the MacPro, I left iTunes Match "on" and selected "Sync only checked songs and videos" within the iTunes Summary Options section. For my music sync settings, I selected "Sync Music" & "Entire music library", and
     2) for the iPad Air and iPhone 5S, I turned iTunes Match off as well as the Show All Music and Genius options (i.e., Settings, Music, "Show All Music", "Genius", and "iTunes Match" are all disabled [off]----I always adjust my playlist on the Mac Pro anyway, so I only care about the iTunes Match feature when updating iTunes on the Mac (as a backup measure in addition to the Time Capsule) and I prefer to access music that is directly stored on the iPad & iPhone rather than use the iCloud. Last week, when I initially did the sync with the iPad Air and had to reset, erase all content, and restore the device, Apple defaulted a few of these settings to on. I did not experience any troubles with my iPhone 5S sync with the new Mac Pro as I was more careful to make certain that these settings were deactivated (because I did not run into further difficulties, I also did not have to reset, erase, & restore my iPhone as was the case with the iPad). I can't say what combination of the "Show All Music", "Genius", and "iTunes Match" settings are a contributing factor to any sync issues, but I recalled having them all off on the iPads and iPhones when successfully syncing over the past several years. So when it worked the first time a few days ago with the iPhone 5S sync, I didn't go looking for trouble to further isolate the cause (of my previous iPad Air difficulties last week) by setting the "Show All Music" and/or "Genius" options to on (i.e., I just made sure they were all off and was happy to see the iPhone 5S sync successfully). There are multiple iTunes sync options, so I realize there are other settings that may work fine for many, but I have had relatively few issues in the past when syncing as described.
I have continued to edit playlists/add songs and have synced successfully several times. After having had quite a few sync issues with the iPad Air last week, I am going to be more careful to examine the iTunes sync options on both the Mac Pro and iPhone 5s & iPad Air (to make certain that they have not changed) when I update any IOS software on either device in the future.

Ipad and iphone will not sync with a new Lenovo laptop

My iphone and ipad synced contacts with a wire flawlessly until I changed to a new PC. I work for Oracle so I cannot config to use iCloud. I checked the Library Persistent ID on the new laptop and it is the same as the old one. Do I need to wipe my devices and start over?

Syncing to iCloud has nothing to do with who your employer is. That's just a silly and unintelligent statement.
Move all your data from the old computer to the new computer then sync the device or setup iCloud syncing.

Iphone 4 will not charge past 5% and will not sync with my Macbook Pro

It will also not show up in itunes..
The liquid damage indicators are both white... when I compared the ports on my phone and my friends phone there are no differences that I can see... And I've cross tested every cable and charger with another phone and they are all good.

Maybe if people would actually try the basic troubleshooting steps BEFORE they posted a frantic "what should I do?" here, we wouldn't have to tell them to try it so often.

I used the digital download from my purchased Blu-Rays and they will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone 4, saying they did not transfer because I am not authorized on this computer. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorized my MacBook Pro already

I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.

Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with? Is the computer authorized for that account?

I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?
