Sync Problem Iphone 4

Is anyone have same problem like me, i have bought two iphone 4, but it is strange one iphone 4 can sync with my labtop computer but another iphone 4 can't. I have try to sync the problem iphone with other computer. It will sync. The difference between these two computer is that one computer is running windows xp and Laptop computer is running windows 7. can anyone help me to solve this problem. thank you

Okay, I have a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard in which I just updated iTunes. My iTunes library is on an external hard drive. I updated my iPhone to 4.3.4 and the syncing is not working. I get an error that it cannot write to the iPhone then get an error regarding some of the photos. Here is what I have done -
I restored my iPhone
I removed all photos from the iPhone and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
I unplugged the external from my mini and then it did a sync just find - course I wasn't syncing anything to it!
I plugged back in the external via Firewire which is what it was before and I get the errors.
Prior to the latest iTunes update everything was fine but of course I hadn't updated the iPhone yet - so I don't know which update is now causing the problem although I'm thinking it's the iTunes update..
Any thoughts? Beyond frustrated at this point.

  • WiFi Store sync problems iPhone to Mac

    Until now I've never had a single problem with iPhone. I've recently upgraded to iTunes 7.5 and iPhone 1.1.2, and haven't had any problems until I tried to use the WiFi Store. I haven't seen any similar discussions on these boards.
    I was able to buy an album and a few random songs without a problem, but they won't sync from the iPhone to the Mac. iTunes asks if I want to transfer the purchased items, I say yes, and I get the following errors:
    "The iPhone "Tim's iPhone" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    "The iPhone "Tim's iPhone" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found."
    "The iPhone "Tim's iPhone" cannot be synced. The device timed out."
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "My Stuff" failed. The device timed out."
    "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    Sometimes one or two tracks successfully transfer from iPhone to Mac. Sometimes I get all of the above errors, sometimes only a couple. Different order each time. Every time, I have to unplug and reconnect iPhone. When I get the last error above, I have to shut down iTunes and restart it. I've never had any sync problems before, and currently the contacts and calendars work just fine.
    The messages are self-explanatory but what I can't figure out is not what, but WHY. I like how it says my local hard drive timed out but all other apps (including iTunes) can read from and write to it. Nevertheless I ran diagnostics on it without any problems. I'm using the same cable and USB port I've been using for months, and same hard drive, OS and other software setup.
    Soooo, after over forty attempts I have most of my music transferred over (again, only about 20 tracks), still trying. If it keeps this up I'll never use the WiFi store. I think a hard reset and/or restore is needed but I don't want to lose the purchased music that hasn't yet synced.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    I had the same problem.
    Sync the iPhone with a different PC, and then re sync it on your main machine.
    it will say something about erase and re-sync.
    that should do it,

    Thanks again, Microsoft says to check if I have any problems with the following:
    Entourage doesn't open, stops responding, or quits unexpectedly.
    Entourage items don't open, or the item that opens is not the item that you selected.
    Blank lines appear in the Entourage  message list or in Entourage  contacts.
    Entourage contact entries are not displayed correctly.
    You can't find information that you added to Entourage , such as a calendar event or a contact.
    When you perform a search in Entourage , the search results don't match the criteria that you set.
    A blank Office Reminders window appears.
    The clippings in the Scrapbook disappear.
    I do not have any problems, do I rebuild the database anyway?

  • Syncing problem iPhone/iPad calendar to laptop/desktop

    I have a very strange problem: when I enter a new event in my calendar on a computer it syncs immediately to my iPhone and iPad.
    But when I enter a new event on my iPhone or iPad, it only syncs to the iPad or iPhone and NOT to the computer. How to solve this???

    Or sync them both to a Google calendar using a Gmail account. My iPad and iPhone calendars are synced this way.

  • Calendar sync problems iPhone 4s/Outlook 2007

    Today - my Win7 PC had some automatic upgrade - my contacts birthdays pop up on wrong days in my Shared Calendar. And not on ONE day only, but on 2. I also have problems in getting iCloud to sync appointments on the familys 2 iPhones.
    God I hate this... :-(

    You can do the google calander thing. I think that will be the easiest thing as opposed to trying to get two computers and stuff to link up.

  • SYNC PROBLEM - iPHONE/Outlook

    After a recent iPhone sync (Windows 7 - Outlook 2007) I lost all Outlook messages (Inbox, Sent, Deleted) from May thru August. MS says ít's an Apple/iPhone problem.  Anyone else encounter this?  Any solutions to recover "lost" messages?

    Email account mailboxes and messages are not included with the iTunes sync process.
    Did you transfer the email account settings from Outlook to the iPhone's Mail app via the iTunes sync/transfer process which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, or did you manually create the account on your iPhone?

  • After years still "no syncing" problems iphone itunes

    Ituens can't copie to the disk Macintosh HD, no permissions.
    Itunes can't tell what apps are installed on the iPhone
    This is driving me crazy. and disk utility does not help.
    Nor does it help to go to the Itunes folder and give permissions (including al nested folders)
    Why doesn't Apple help the many users with this problem.
    I'm on Maveriks now and it problem still exists.
    This is a really bad experiance.
    Help me please, and I have seen all posts, and many different solutions. They are to dificult or don't help.
    thanks
    Reinold

    I have 3 iPhone 4's and I'm having this problem on all 3 of them.  We upgraded to iTunes 11.4.0.18 and we have Outlook 2010 and it just gets stuck on (Step 3 of 7) Syncing Contacts.  We left it running overnight and it was still stuck.  When this happens the progress bar keeps moving making you think it is working, but it is stuck.
    I wish someone from Apple would help.  We just ordered iPhone 6 phones and we need to backup so we can restore our old info.

  • Sync problem "Iphone synced with other Itunes library"

    Hi folks, I’m new to the forum and would appreciate some help.
    I recently re-formatted my hard drive on my PC and re-installed Itunes. I have only ever used my iphone on this PC and this Itunes account. Now when I connect my Iphone 4 to my PC it can be seen in the devices section at the left hand side and there I can view all its contents as normal. However if I try to change the settings in the summary section to “manually manage music and videos” and press APPLY it come up saying “the iphone is synced with another itunes library” and says if I continue then my iphone content will be erased. I can’t even drop and drag music into my device as I used to do before formatting.
    I really don’t want to delete my phones content as I’ve got it just the way I like it and would be a real hassle to do this. I don’t understand why itunes is saying that my phone is synced with another itunes library.
    I also have the most recent update on my phone and was wondering if there's any way to sort this out?
    Thanks in advance
    Craig.

    All iTunes content presently on your phone will be erased. If you have the same content in your iTunes library, just sync it back. If you have app data you want to preserve, backup your phone first, then restore from that backup, followed by syncing your content back to your phone. You can manually create a current backup by right-clicking your phone in the left device pane & selecting "Backup". Follow this by right-clicking again & selecting "Restore from Backup". Select the backup you just made. If prompted to create another backup, decline. Disable auto-sync before you do any of the above: iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under the edit menu if using windows). Make sure you have one contact & one calendar entry in whatever supported applications you use on your computer: DO NOT SYNC to empty applications. Doing so will erase data from your phone.

  • Contacts syncing problem iPhone 3G

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 3G, running iOS 3.1.3
    I also have a mobile me account set up.
    I'm trying to delete some duplicate contact details from my iPhone. I thought the easiest method would be via my address book after the mobile me technique failed. I have selected to replace my contacts on my iPhone with the address book contacts, synced at least 3 times but it hasn't worked.
    Any pointers would be good

    and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

  • Music syncing problems iPhone 6

    I have 128 gig iPhone 6 and I am trying to sync a 80 gig music library to it.  The sync process gets hung on  "Waiting for changes to be applied".  I am syncing on a a 128 macbook pro with retina display and my iTunes library is on external hard drive.

    I was just on phone with them for 45 minutes as well.... I first bought apple care for the phone (and it was registered)... then I described the issue, tested it with her on the phone many times, and I couldn't recreate the issue! Even though I was having the issue many times earlier it seems to work now... We'll see... strange... the only other new piece of info I could think of in my case is when I had the issue I was copying music from my C drive via a Windows folder into my phone in iTunes, and my regular library on iTunes is in my R drive. Actually, she asked me to first copy from my iTunes library in iTunes to the phone in iTunes (instead of from windows folder to phone in iTunes). So... I tried what she suggested and it worked. I said, but the other way didn't work (instead of itunes library to itunes phone.... I mean it didn't work from windows folder to itunes phone). I then tried folder to phone and it worked... Perhaps moving from the library in iTunes to the phone in iTunes fixed it????

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.

    Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.  iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C.  When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4.  This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4.  It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans.  (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
    I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup"  What's going on?  I'm afraid to choose either option.
    How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
    Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?

    They were both displaying the same name in iTunes.  I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

  • Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

    Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
    I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
    As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
    So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
    I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
    What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
    If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
    I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
    Cheers
