Sync iTunes With Inherited iPhone

Hello. I've inherited an iPhone and want to sync my own iTunes account, playlist and apps via iTunes on my laptop. When I plug it into iTunes on my laptop, the iPhone still displays as the last user and I'm unable to sync my apps and music playlist. What do I need to do?

Thanks.
Any way to keep the existing playlist on the iPhone? Or is authorizing possible on the iPhone?

  • Syncing iTunes with my iPhone

    I've been having problems syncing my iPhone with my iTunes for years now. Basically what happens is that I'll plug it in, press sync, and it will go through all the steps, but nothing changes on my phone. I've been in the Apple store multiple times, and the only thing that worked was restoring the phone, or occasionally if I unchecked all music, then reselect the music, it would work.
    However now, no matter what I do, synching my iPhone makes no changes. I've tried rebuilding on my iTunes library on two computers (a Mac genius told me it might be corrupted) and it still does nothing.
    I'm desperate! I just want to listen to music on my iPhone. Any help appreciated.
    P.S. I'm not the most tech savvy, so if people could be particularly specific that would help me immensely.
    Thanks!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • I cannot sync itunes with my iphone 5

    I'm trying to edit the music on my IPhone 5. In the past I would have simply selected the artists or tracks I wished to sync and pressed sync. However I'm not finding the option to select the artists anywhere. I've tried deleting all the music from the phone, but that doesn't work either. It keeps reappearing when I go to sync selected artists. I seem to be stuck with what is on the phone.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    I'm afraid you may be out of luck

    Many thanks for the reply.
    when i connect them do i install both as new or install the 2nd one from the back up of the first.
    Sorry for my ignorance but i'm trying to do things right from the beginning as ive had a few problems in the past.
    I had my iphone synced on a previous laptop(windows) and i purchased the original ipad and when i connected the ipad it asked if i wanted to use a back up of the iphone or install ipad as new and i chose the back up of the iphone option.But now i am installing everything new on my macbook do i install both as new.

  • Sync single song via iTunes with my iPhone 5 & can't sync music with my iPhone

    Hey there,
    I have two questions about iTunes and my iPhone 5.
    1) I have my full music library connected with iTunes and most songs are not bought via iTunes. Now I have alle artists listet up with their albums.
         Can I now sync only one single song from an album with my iPhone 5? If I want to sync music with my iPhone I can only choose between Playlists, Artists,       Albums and Genres but not single songs. Is there a possibility to sync single songs from a full album?
    2) The other problem is when I want to sync music (and only music!) iTunes starts syncing with my iPhone 5 and nothing happens. After a while a get an error         that the synchronisation is stopped because it couldn't start syncing. Why? What can I do?
    I use a windows 8 laptop with the newst version of iTunes and iPhone 5!

    Which iTunes version is installed on your computer?
    What happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

  • I synced my iTunes with my iPhone 5. Some of the titles don't match the songs. When I checked the iTunes database, yes it is the latest version, the titles and songs matched correctly. so how do I fix this on my phone?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

    Shame problem to my ipad mini. But there i don`t can sync my music and pictures
    If Steve jobs still alive you would never have published such software, befor everything would have worked flawlessly.
    Dear would you let the customers wait another month. This would be the end product was great.
    Best regards

    You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • Sync problems with iPhoto & iPhone through iTunes.

    I can not sync my iPhoto with my iPhone through iTunes. Error (-50) ?
    on my new laptop, I upgraded iPhoto to 9.5.1 and opened a library that I had backed-up from my previous laptop.
    iTunes refuses to sync photos with my iphone. It gts stuck on the "import" step.
    I tried rebuilding the library, but it did not solve the issue.

    In that case, repair your original iPhoto library:
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and repair the library.
    If that does not help, quit iPhoto, back up your iPhoto Library, and remove the iPod Photo cache, if there is such a folder, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    If all fails, back up the iPhoto Library and rebuild it as described by Old Toad:
           Re: iPhoto has crashed on a number of occasions, but on 2 occasions also seems to delete several events, including the one I'm editing. When I go to reimport the last event, it shows them as already there. But I can't find them.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    When you synced in iTunes did you select your phone in devices on t left column and then click on tones int eh window on the right.  When you synced did you tick all tones and tick sync and then click sync at the bottom of the window on the right?  Was the ton ein the tones folder in the library folder?

  • New hard drive installed in Mac.  iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

    New hard drive installed in Mac.  iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

    It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
    If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

  • Why won't my iTunes sync up with my iPhone 4s?

    I have a problem...My girlfriend and I just bought new iPhone 4s phones. We have tried multiple times to sync each phone to our iTunes accounts. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem or what, but she is having a problem with her iTunes on her computer, and I am having a problem on mine. What is going on?
    Andrew

    Often, this problem can be fixed if you locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
