Sync a new iPhone with iTunes

My computer already installed the latest iTunes.
When plugged in an old iPhone, iTunes immediately recognized it and can do sync.
When plugged in a new iPhone, iTunes cannot recognize it.
Tried logout and login with the right AppleID, but still does not work.
Versions
iTunes     12.1.0.71
iPhone 6   64GB
IOS          8.1

Howdy lamsps,
It like one phone is not recognized in iTunes on your PC. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article for that one phone:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

Find your device in the iTunes window, Right click>Restore From Backup, then select which one you want

Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one. Thank you.

iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

I'm trying to sync my new iPhone with I tunes on my Mac and it keeps telling me my iPhone or device is timed out???..Tried my old iPhone and it synched fine ??? Any help would be appreciated.

Is your Mac running the current iTunes version?
If so, any change after restarting your Mac?

HT201269 I just synced my new iphone through itunes and it deleted my new pictures. is there any way to get them back?

I just syned my new iphone through itunes and it deleted all of my new pictures. is there anyway to get them back?

Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes every once in a while? If yes, there are chances that iTunes has taken last backup of your photos, contacts, etc. that you want back.
Connect your iPhone with your PC. launch iTunes, right click on your device and click on "Restore from Backup". Choose the latest backup to proceed.
If you configured iCloud for backup before you restored your iPhone. Go to Settings -> iCloud - > and login using your Apple ID. Once you've logged in, all the photos, contacts, mail, messages should be back on your iPhone. This may take a while (depending on your network).
Alternatively, if you are only now setting up your iPhone, choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the setup screen. Login with Apple ID and the iPhone will be restored from the latest iCloud backup.

Plug it in and sync it.
If you have the old phone backed up and want all the info from the old iPhone on this iPhone select Restore from backup.

I can not complete the sync of my iphone with itunes on my computer

When I connect my iPhone to my computer (PC) with USB cable it opens the itunes store, finds my iPhone and begins the sync process. Then it starts transferring new purchases and updates to my apps and times out
Then I get the error message Attempting to copy to the disk "OS" failed. The device timed out.
I also get an error message with iTunes help diagnostics that says "Secure link to iTunes Store Failed"
Are these error messages because of my iPhone or iTunes or some obscure settings on my PC. This did not happen until I updated several apps, purchased a new book and purchased and downloaded the Sky Walk app on my phone.

That problem is covered here:

Sync used new iPad with iTunes w/o setting as new device or restoring

Hi,
few weeks after using new iPad that never synced with iTunes (backing up to iCloud), i want to sync iBooks and Aperture photos from iTunes library.
But, when i connect my iPad to iTunes using usb cable, there are only two choices: Set as new device or restore from older backup. I dont want to sync anything but iBooks and photos. What could i do?

Hmm, is Whitson's iPad the current name of the device, or an earlier iPad? Does that image you've shown occupy the entire iTunes window or is the usual column of library sources and playlists shown down the left-hand side. If the list is there then the iPad should appear as a device that you can right/option/cmd-click on. Failing that with all your purchases having come from the store you should be able to set up as new device and then reacquire all your store content but that would lose any data and settings. I suppose that after restoring as new, then backing up to the machine, you could then try restoring the backup from the cloud, and then if needed go through the original process as I suggested.
You might find that if you opt to set up as new nothing actually changes until you choose some content to sync, which may give you the opportunity to use the process I've previously outlined. Sorry I can't be clearer but I know that method has worked for a few people who have had to switch computers after a crash. I'm not personally familiar with the process under your precise circumstances.
The "cut the cord" feature which allowed you to set up the device without connecting to a computer is all well and good but if you have to go through this sort of effort when the time comes that you want to hook up your device to a library on your computer it becomes a complete nightmare.
