Syncing ***** beyond belief since the recent Iphone update - PLS APL FIX!!!

I did a search on this forum for can't sync and got over 500 results. NONE of which has fixed my problem, and many many others are having the same problems.
And no, my phone has not been hacked, altered, dropped or anything else.
It all started the day of the last update.
When I dock my phone now one of several things happens:
1) Get Cant find disk error
2) Get the dreaded spinning beach ball forever
3) Get the always exciting: "The Iphone "My Iphone" cannot be synced.
The device is not connected."
4) Or it just gives the message in the top display window of itunes "Syncing "My Iphone"" and that happens indefinately
5) Nothing happens, itunes just acts like my phone is not docked at all.
6) It actual does sync, maybe one in ten times
Here is what I do if I really really need to sync it, which takes about 45 minutes:
a - repair permissions
b - I go to user>library>application support>syncservices and put the folders in the trash
c - restart
d - repair permissions yet again
e - start itunes
f - dock Iphone
This works about 50 percent of the time, but for only one single sync, then I have to start the entire process over again.
None of this happened prior to the last Iphone software update, and seeing how there is a small army of people with syncing issues, I'm hoping this gets resolved quickly on apples part, or someone else has a fix for this.
If anyone has a real fix for this that would be great.

brownrecluse,
First, trashing the SyncServices folder can cause corruption that could be excerbating the issue you are experiencing. This is discussed in the "swarm of bees" article which can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301920
If you have done everything else short of removing the SyncServices folder, I would recomend calling into support, and referencing that article.
What model of Mac are you using? If an iMac, is at PPC (G3, G4, G5) or Intel-based iMac?
Hope this helps,

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

Myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

You can both share the same Apple ID for purchases but i suggest one of you use another email for the use of iMessage, Facetime etc.
It is easy to do, the easiest way is to set up an iCloud email directly from your iPhone. Once set up one of you will use this for iCloud services but both still use the existing Apple ID to make purchases.

My PC no longer recognizes my I Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I Tunes has not helped.

My Win 7 PC will not recognize my I-Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I-Tunes has not helped. What else can I try?

irst off, you can connect the device to another computer to import the photos. Second the error that you are seeing is a Windows error and you would have to look that one up on Microsoft.com. You should be able to remove the device from Device Manager, unplug the phone, wait a moment and then plug it back in. It should recognize it then and load the driver.
The message board is no longer allowing me to reply from that site. In answer to above, I don’t have another computer. Yes, what I sent is a windows error message but this is NOT a windows error. From what I can see online from others, this is a problem many are having as a result of something in the new OS we downloaded to keep our I-phones current. Everything worked fine before downloading the new OS and nothing changed in our systems except the new OS. Apple needs to diagnose the problem and develop a fix!

E-mail app no longer works reliably on my Droid Turbo since the recent OS update

The native e-mail app has become unreliable since the recent OS update. All accounts (corporate, IMAP) have incorrect "Unread" totals. The corporate exchange account won't send e-mail. Clearing caches, uninstall/reinstall, all the usual don't bring resolution.
I've switched to third-party e-mail apps pending what I hope will be a fix.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Thanks.

Okay, so tried one more thing and found the culprit - the problem no longer appears after I switch off 'Allow iTunes audio control from remote speakers' preference in iTunes. Apparently this problem happens due to an interaction between the AVR (Denon AVR-1912) and iTunes.
Leaving the message on forum, to help people with similar problem.

Since the last iphone update i have been getting the message cannot connect to itunes store when i try to download any application. How do i resolve this?

Since the last iphone software upgrade, every time i try to download an application i keep getting the message "cannot connect ot itunes store". How can i resolve this? I have tried rebooting but that didnt work.

Try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

Since the recent Firefox update, our customers can no longer place items selected for purchase into the shopping cart; what is the cause and the fix?

Since Firefox was recently updated, customers who use Firefox as their browser can no longer place items selected at our e-commerce site into their shopping cart. We are not experiencing this problem with customers who use IE as their browser.

I created a brand new blank Captivate 6 file, applied a theme, inserted a few new slides and tried Preview. It worked! All four of the Captivate files I used in my previous testing were based on one file which hadn't been touched for two weeks. Somehow while working in the lastest file, either removing unused items from the Library or killing errors while Publishing, something somewhere got corrupted or removed. Something that all four files must have pointed to, since as soon as the latest file broke, all of the other files stopped working as well. Since the original file was inherited, I'm not even sure how to go about finding the problem. In my case, it won't be too big of a deal. I will create a clean template file and rebuild.
Thanks for your help!

I can not access my visual voicemail since the last iphone update?

I do not have access to visual voice mail since completeing the last IOS update. Can anyone help? I already tried re-setting my
network settings.

The first thing to try is to open Phone, and simply dial "1" -- hold the "1" key down for 2 or 3 seconds. That should send you to your cellular carrier's voicemail box. You may be asked for a password. Type it in if you ever had one, if not, try your telephone number as the password. If that does not set up visual voicemail, contact your cellular carrier.

Since the recent Firefox update my Facebook page is distorted and rearranged, I've tried all possible solutions and ready to switch to safari!

Since Firefox's recent update, my FB page is off center and rearranged awkwardly. On Safari and Chrome this doesn't happen so I'm certain it's FF. I've tried clearing the cache, reseting the page in safe mode, checking page style etc etc and nothing has changed.

EXACT same problem here!

When using Firefox to access my Mobile Me e-mail account, since the recent Firefox update, I'm no longer able to attach a file to an e-mail. When I log in to my mobile me account with IE I can. Any ideas?

It stopped working this week, right I update to the latest version of Firefox. The system kept asking me about add-ons which hadn't done in the past.

Why won't Notes stay open since the latest OS update?, why won't Notes stay open since the latest OS update?

Since the recent OS update (Nov. 2013) when I open Notes it only stays open for a second then shuts down. I cannot figure out where to go to fix it. Please help! All my meeting notes & to do lists are there.
tnx.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

Any suggestions?

The restriction passcode is not necessarily the same as the device passcode.
The restriction passcode can not set itself. It had to be set by you or by someone with physical access to your phone..
Ask the person/people you live with if they set one... A spouse, a parent, a jealous boy/girlfriend, etc.
If they deny it, and you don't know what it is, then the only thing you can do is restore the phone using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are contained in the backup.

Since the recent update my email account has been affected. I have over 2,000 emails now reflecting on my phone. Is this a glitch that is being worked on? I have heard the same issue from several other iPhone users.

Since the recent update to the iPhone I have over 2000 emails showing up in my inbox. I have tried to delete the emails which are new emails that are coming in but also there are now old emails that have reappeared. I have discussed this with several other iPhone users that have updated their phones and they are experiencing the same issue. How has this happened and can it be resolved in the simplest way possible?
