Sync-Problems since iTunes 8.1.1-Update

Since the iTunes 8.1.1-Update I have the problems with the iPhone sync (Windows Vista). iTunes always tells me that I need to activate it otherweise all my apps will be deleted.
Whe I activate iTunes once again, it says that the computer already has been activated. Deleting the SCInfo-Folder (TS1389) does not resolve the problem. Has anybody an idea what to do?
Regards, Olaf

I have spent 2 days with the same problem following installation of 8.1.1 trying to authorize my apps to no avail. I've restored the iPhone, reinstalled iTunes, de-authorized and reauthorized the computer in multiple different sequences, tried each app separately, etc, all with the same result. I can download directly on my iPhone and apps work, but once I sync with the computer, I can no longer manage them. Any one know the answer?

  • Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

    Hello
    I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
    However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
    Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
    Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
    Cheers for the help

    Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
    When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
    However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.

  • Sync problems after iTunes Match update

    iTunes Match has created an ongoing sync problem for me. If Match updates automatically based on songs I've purchased from the iTunes store, then I usually have no issues with the sync function. However, if I load a CD that is not in the Match library, or if I just manually do an update to Match, it causes my 160gb iPod to take 15-20 minutes to sync. Why is this happening?

    I cannot sync my music but I get the message that it is connected but it is not recognised.
    As advised on the error message I have reset the Nano and re-installed itunes with the same results.
    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

    you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X.  Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems.  The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6.  Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

  • Video Sync Problems in iTunes 11.1/ios 7

    I have recently upgraded to ios 7 for my iPad and iPhone, and iTunes 11.1.  I added two new videos to iTunes (.m4v format) and now when I try to sync with my iPad it seems to hang forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then gives me an error message that the videos are not of a format that can be played on the iPad.  This is odd since I already have .m4v videos on my iPad that play just fine.  Moreover, I deselected some videos and they do not delete from my iPad as well.  Is anyone else encountering this?  I have seen some posting regarding music files and playlists not syncing, but nothing about movie files.

    I've had video syncing problems (not with music though) when I updated my iPhone 4s to the new IOS 7, but I finally figured it out. What I did was I plugged my 4s in to my computer (Windows 7, 64-bit), then opened iTune (11.1.3.8), clicked on my iPhone tab on the upper right, under "Summary" put a 'check' in the Manually sync music & videos.
    Looking at the picture above, notice the: Movies, Music Videos, and  Home Videos; are now available. Before this method, these three wasn't there. These are all in the original Videos app for the iPhone. I hope this help you guys too.

  • Can't sync iPhone with iTunes 9.1 after update (Windows 7)

    Hi,
    after the succesfull update to iTunes 9.1 synching contacts, dates (Outlook 2007) and bookmarks (Safari 4.0.5) does not work anymore. I haven't had any sync problems before the update. All other app, music and videos gets synched well.
    iTunes gives two error messages (translated from german, maybe it's an localzation problem?):
    1) iTunes couldn't sync information with iphone since Synchronisation is not activated. Do you want to activate Synchronisation?
    If you don't activate Synchronisation, itunes can't sync contacts, dates, bookmarks and email accounts to your iphone.
    When i try to activate the following error message pops up:
    iTunes couldn't access the provider data from sync services. Try again.
    Comletely deinstalling and reinstalling of iTunes and ipod services didn't solve the problem.
    Has anybody a similar problem or a tip for me? Should I go back to iTunes 9.0.3?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi all,
    I've found the solution in another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11296350#11296350
    It's oviously a problem of iTunes 9.1, which does not seem to fin the syncserver. exe or some of its dependent files.
    User icefoxxxx showed me how to solve the problem. Anyway, Apple has to fix this, many people will have the problem:

    you won't believe how I fixed it... my syncserver.exe can't run because some dll is missing, but I notice the dll is in another folder "Apple Application Support". So I copied all files in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    over to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    and it solves everything!
    Obviously there is something wrong in registering the former folder by the new itunes installation program. Hope next version fixes it.

  • Sync problem with iTUNE 5

    Ever since I updated my iTUNE to iTUNE 5, I have not been able to sync with my iTUNE. Whenever I try to sync, I get the following message.
    "The software required for communicating with the iPOD is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTUNES to install the iPOD's software"
    I did what the error suggested. I uninstalled iTUNES and reinstalled numerous versions, I get the same error, does anyone know how to get around this problem, thanks.

    I just noticed a similar problem. my ipod functions fine and is recognized on the desktop, but when i open itunes, it doesn't notice that my ipod is even attached. rebooting ipod didn't fix the problem.

  • Syncing problems since upgrading to 10.5.7

    Ever since I performed the 10.5.7 upgrade with all the associated software updates I have been receiving a constant error message popping up whenever I plug in my iPhone:
    "The application AppleMobileDeviceHelper quit unexpectedly."
    It pops up constantly as long as my iPhone is plugged in and iTunes is open.
    I've also noticed that my calendar information is not syncing bi-directionally anymore, and have been having terrible problems with iTunes crashing whenever I try to perform a sync.
    Any ideas?

    I didn't have the problem after upgrading to 10.5.7, but I did have the problem after juggling my iTunes data. I had moved it to an external 500G drive to do some clean up but after a week or so I had it the way I wanted it and copied it back to my main disk. The problem started right after that.
    I called Apple and they told me to delete and reinstall iTunes and the mobile device helper. To be specific, I deleted the files:
    /Applications/iTunes.app,
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext, and
    /Library/Receipts/AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
    I did not remove any preference files or any files other than those listed.
    After moving those files to the trash, reboot. When the system comes back up empty the trash. Download and reinstall iTunes.
    You should be good to go. At least it worked for me.

  • Sync problem with itunes 64 bit

    Hi, it's impossible to sync an iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4 64 bit (sync in one step and in only few seconds but actually it do nothing) and cannot install iTunes 32 bit on windows 7 64 bit. Never had that problem on 32 bit.
    What can I do?

    I worked though this issue today on my PC and I have it working.
    The piece that worked for me was that you have to uninstall apple components in a specific order. I also rebooted my pc after the uninstalls were complete. I found this on the apple support site (see below).
    Uninstall in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour 
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    I then reinstalled 64bit Itunes by saving the package, right clicking and run as administrator.
    This reinstalled itunes then I recieved another error, iphone could not be synced 13019. I researched this and I found out that the itunes library could not find one or more of my music files in the library these are denoted by an exclamation mark. I either had to delete the files or double click on the files and click locate and then point them to the location of the missing files. After I had found all of the files it was able to sucessfully sync and all is good.
    I hope this helps...

  • IPhone 4 version 5.0 has sync problems with iTunes 10.5 on Mac OsX 10.6.8

    Hi there,
    I have Mac OsX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 4 version 5.0; all up to date.
    When I try to sync my phone with iTunes, the sync goes well until the apps start to sync .... then iTunes closes and I get varying error reports.
    I have tried updating everything (Mac, iTunes, iPhone) to no avail.
    I tried restoring the iPhone, that didn't help whatsoever.
    Does anyone have a solution? I am now tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes (ie: 10.4.3) as some people suggest in different posts.
    Thank you for your time in replying!
    Marmotte

    There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly.  I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here.  Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

  • Syncing problem with itunes after restoring to a new PC from iPod

    My old PC crashed and I copied my iTunes libray to a new PC from my iPod. The libray includes several songs taken from CD's I purchased plus several songs that I had purchased from iTunes. I also "authorized" the new PC. However, when I sync now none of the purchased songs from my new iTunes file will copy back to the iPod. It will only sync the songs from my personal CD collection. I get a message that the iPod is not authorized for these songs. Any suggestions for a fix?

    Try deauthorising your PC and authorise it over again, this can sometimes clear a "not authorised" problem: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
    You could also have a look at this article: iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Music Store
    If you continue to have problems you can email Customer Services from this page, they may be able to help: iTunes Music Store - Authorization FAQ

  • Sync problems with itunes and latest IPod nano

    Hello,
    I have the latest IPod touch and later purchase the latest IPod Nano for GF. My problem is I can't sync itunes with Nano, my current itunes library is sync with my IPod touch.
    How can we manage a reciprocity where itunes enables accessibility for Nano to sync with my itunes library has it does recognize my IPod Touch.
    Hope you understand my problem, looking for your kind assistance.
    Thank you,
    Frank   

    There should be no problems connecting and syncing two different iPods with one iTunes library.  In fact there is NO limit to the number of iPads, iPhones, and iPods you can sync to one computer/iTunes library.
    There are several ways to manage multiple devices with one library.  All of them are described in more detail in this Apple support document.
