Syncing IPHONE problems

The computer i used to activate my iphone, i no longer have. i am trying, unsuccesfully to sync my phone with my home computer and i am having troubles, is there anyway of syncing to more than one computer?!?!?!?!?!?
i would like to make my home computer the computer the phone is sync-ed too?!?!?!

The iPhone can be synced with any computer that meets the minimum system requirements. It is not "linked" to the computer you used to activate it.
What is the problem you are having when you try to sync to your home computer? If you describe the problem in detail, hopefully I or one of the other users can help you sort it out.

  • HT1386 Syncing iPhone problem

    I keep getting a box saying   'You do not have enough access priveleges to sync this phone'.  What does this mean and how do I overcome it?

    Disconnect the phone. See if it recreated that folder. Also, while phone disconnected, go to iTunes, Edit, Preferences, and click on Reset Sync history. See if that helps.
    Are you syncing different photos than your husband is, on the same computer?
    P.S. Don't just delete contents of the iPod photo cache folder, delete the entire folder.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
    Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
    I have 3 of these and I really like them.
    From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
    Good luck!

  • Trying to sync iPhone to pc but keeps getting internal device error on screen, also showing only 4gb size instead of 32gb. Uninstalled iTunes from pc and reloaded. Powered back up and all songs and info still in place. Anyone had this problem before?

    Doublechecking something Emcee. I see you've got Windows 7 x64, so I'm assuming you've got at least 4 GB of RAM. Do you also have an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset on that PC? If so, see the following Microsoft document:
    [You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972]

  • IPhone sync freeze problem

    I've searched all the posts and tried everything (I think) but still have a problem. Syncing iPhone causes iTunes to freeze with force-quit the only option. Here's what I've tried:
    - repaired permissions
    - repaired drive (Disk Util)
    - repaired drive (Disk Warrior)
    - re-installed iTunes
    - reset sync history
    I've even unchecked each sync item to attempt a one-at-a-time sync. It never gets passed "backing up iPhone", though. What next? Is it the iPhone or the computer causing the problem? I'm at a loss and notice that others have posted similar problems. Could it be the latest iTunes update?

    FYI - Solution to the problem seems to have been upgrading to Snow Leopard. Syncing now runs without a hitch.

    Have any of you used KB 187498 to disable any of those protocols in IIS? I found a thread where the solution appeared to be reverse those changes to re-enable any of the protocols that you disabled. Check the registry for the keys KB 187498 says to create, and if they exist, delete them. Then reboot and see if the problem is fixed. I haven't tried it myself, but I also have ~10 iPhones using ActiveSync without any problems.

  • How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?

    How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?
    Problem: when I click Sync I get a warning stating "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone “Jarrod Vassallo’s iPhone” will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."
    I don't care if the iPhone syncs with the laptop (and the music is lost), I just cannot afford to lose the Voice Memos too as they are very important. Any suggestions?

    To follow this user tip using iTunes 11, fist go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.
    If they're too large to email and you don't want to sync, the only other option is to use 3rd party software to transfer them using usb, such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    I have the same problem with podcast playlists.  When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone.  I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store.  They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
    Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

  • How to sync iPhone contacts back to Address Book.

    I came across this problem and found a work-around on the forums, but some guys there–including myself–felt that iTunes should sync our contacts bi-directionally from iPhone to Address Book on our Macs, and vice versa.
    As it turns out, that's really the default behavior in iTunes when syncing between iPhone/Address Book on the Mac. However, if you've been using iCloud to sync everything lateley, this will not be the default behavior, because your iTunes won't sync anything back to your Address Book on the Mac unless you completly disconnect from iCloud services.
    So..... if you want to sync your contacts from your iPhone back to your Address Book on your Mac, I'm providing this simple, yet tedious, solution:
    Step 1: Open Address Book on your Mac, select all of your contacts, and press delete. You'll be asked if you really want to delete the contacts. Hit ok and     continue.
    Step 2: Navigate to: Macintosh HD/Users/(YourUserName)/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
    Note* On OS X Lion, your Library folder will not be shown. You'll have to navigate there a different way. The way I did it was:
    Click the "Go" option up in the Finder menu bar.
    Toward the bottom of the pull-down menu, click on the "Go to Folder..." option.
    Type "~(YourUserName)/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
    Once there, I searched through all the folders included and deleted anything that ended in ".plist" or ".log". This way, Address Book is completely reset when next open it.
    Step 3: Open Address Book, add at least one contact if none are automatically created for you, and make sure iCloud is Disabled (if an account is there) in your Address Book Preferences pane, which you find by clicking "Address Book" in the top menu bar. Then, quit Address Book.
    Step 4: On your iPhone, open your Settings app, go to the iCloud option, and turn all services off. After turning each one off, it will ask you if you want to keep the data on you phone. Always select "Yes", otherwise you may lose your data.
    Step 5: Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone in the left column, select the "Info" tab, and check the box to "Sync Contacts"–further down on the page, in the Advanced section, make sure the Contacts checkbox is unchecked. If it's checked when you sync, iTunes will overwrite the contacts on your phone with the contacts from Address Book on your Mac.
    Step 6: Sync your iPhone–This will sync the contacts from your phone to the Address Book app on your Mac.
    Step 7: Open up Address Book, and add an iCloud account, or re-enable the one you disabled in step 3–This will sync all of those contacts to your iCloud account again. Then, you can also go back to the iCloud settings on your phone and turn all the services back on.
    After all this, you should have been able to first sync your contacts from you iPhone back to your Address Book app on your Mac, then have them both synced up through iCloud with the same contacts being pushed everywhere.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi, thanks for all this, unfortunately it's still not helping me. Last week I turned on iCloud for contacts and not only did the iCloud sync fail, but now with iCloud off I haven't been able to sync iphone-to-mac thru iTunes.
    I've checked that iCloud contact sync'ing is off, on both my Mac and iPhone. I've even turned off all other iCloud services on both devices. I followed your instructions precisely and even deleted more than you suggested from the App Support | Address Book folder. Step 6 just doesn't work. iTunes whips thru the Address Book sync progress when it should pause a bit to do the transfer—my Address Book archive is 44 Mb.
    I have no desire to waste more time with iCloud, just want it to work the old fashioned way.  I'd gladly do a clean system re-install but not sure even that would do it…hard to tell where the problem lies.
    Appreciate any light you could shed!

  • Why is there missing info in the windows address book fields after syncing iphone 4 contacts?

    I am reaching the end of my rope trying to deal with syncing/backing up contacts and other "non copyright protected" content from my iphone 4 and my desktop (and preferably my laptop as well).  I've spent literally days trying to solve this problem with ultimately no solution.  So, cutting through my MULTIPLE issues and focusing on one primary I need help backing up my contacts from my iphone 4 to ANY computer.  Here is what I am working with:
    A relatively ancient (5yrs) Window XP desktop with virtually no contacts in Windows Address Book and with only the native Outlook Express on it.
    An iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 that was initially and is still setup/synced with the above XP box (minus checking the sync contacts box).
    An iphone 4 contact list that is primarily populated by about 200 contacts transfered from an old ATT SIM from the previous ancient phone.
    A new Windows 7 laptop that I would love, love, love to use in conjuction with the XP for syncing/backing up not protected, personal data and iphone purchases.
    So, with that in mind I have been syncing my phone with the XP w. the "manual manage music..." box checked and all other syncing options other than apps unchecked.  I wanted to backup by contacts for emergency recovery and to allow sycncing for the increasing business contacts.  Should be easy right?  Not so much.  I tried clicking the "sync contacts w/ windows address book" option and then synced.  I go to WAB and the contact list is there.  However, if I look w/in each contact the fields are not filled in.  If it was a contact that had name, number, address on my phone the WAB version has the name listing but nothing in the number/addy fields.  Now, this is true w/ virtually every contact and most were from that SIM transfer.  HOWEVER, contacts that I added ON the iphone (ie manually w/ the phone) DO have complete information.
    So, what do I do to make an actual, complete backup of all the contacts on my iphone w/o having to manually reinput all of the real information??  I'm frankly terrified that in trying multiple solutions I will lose all my phone contacts which at this point in my life would be absolutely devistating (ie I would probably lose my job).  If it is a matter of newer hard/software I would gladly sync to the new Win 7 laptop instead but there I run into the other aggrivation of apple making it so bloody difficult to use one ios device with more than one personal computer.  I'm dumbfounded and frustrated on soooooo many levels and would send countless good vibes to anyone who can help!   Advice?  Solutions?  I'd promise my first born but who wants that these days...?  Help, please! ;-)
    BTW, sorry for the long wind but I'll add on my "optimal solution" if anyone is feeling especially helpful and has an answer:
    I'd like to be able to plug my iphone into both my XP desktop and my Win 7 laptop and sync/backup to both freely (that is after all the real intent of syncing, non?)  I don't care about music, videos, or other protected content.  I manage that manually and frankly, I can do without having on the iphone as long as I can accomplish being able to sync/backup/restore all the iphone stuff like apps, settings, personal info, and contacts to both the desktop and the laptop.  The purpose is that I need to be able to use and recover everything (on the road or at home) if either my laptop or my iphone dies/disappears.  But, understanding impermanence as it relates to portable devices, I want a solid backup of everything at home waiting on my desktop.  Is that really too much to ask apple??? 

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

    Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
    I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
    Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
    Simplified version:
    -Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
    -When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
    -I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
    Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

    Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

  • Sync calendar problem

    MacBook late 2008 10.2.9
    iPad mini and iPhone 4s  both 7.0.4
    iCloud account
    Hi,
    I am reposting the question because, although the first post yesterday received no replies, the solution to the problem is so important to me that I am trying again. If this post receives no replies, I promise not to post again!
    I have the three devices listed above and everything updates and transfers between them successfully except for iCal. This is only a recent development as iCal did used to sync until about a fortnight ago.
    For example, if I work on the MB and make changes in, say, Notes, these changes are successfully transferred to the iCloud account and both the iPhone and the iPad.
    When I make changes on the MB in iCal, they get successfully transferred to the iPad, but NOT to iCloud or the iPhone. Naturally, this is the device that is most important to me day-to-day!
    Settings on iPhone and iPad seem to be the same i.e. Settings: iCloud: Calendars - green for yes.
    Syncing iPhone in iTunes does not solve the problem.
    Even ‘Reset documents and data’ on iCloud has no effect.
    This is driving me nuts! Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Graham

    I am having the same exact problem as Mr Mason.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • MFE in E5-00 NO SYNC , IPHONE 4 OK, WINDOWS 6 OK

    hi i buyed a new nokia E5 for business mail with exchange but i did not think to have so many problems to sync my exchange folders!!
    i'm the it admin of exchange server and i have no problem to set up new iphone 4 exchange account  ( 1 minute with all emails contact and calendar) and i came from a samsung windows mobile 6.1 with active sync , without problem.
    the exchange server setting is absolutelly the same , no changes, i try now the iphone of my friend but my nokia e5 did not sync with exchange (and gmail has many problems to send emails...)

    windows mobile no problem
    browsers no problem to access to owa light and full local and public
    ssl or not ......same issue in my nokia E5
    the last.... my nokia E5 web browser has NO problems to access to my owa public and local server but it gives me ONLY the LIGHT owa access that i can't change to full in the login page.
    But after that i use my exchange account without problems so, NOKIA if you put a business email sync software in a business phone, please test it  before because i need my email to work the same day i buy new phone.

    thanks.

    Same problem with my e5, but using ms exchange server 2003. No sync, got a message asking to accept a non secure certificate sent by exchange server everytime the phone tries to syncronize. For 5 days waiting any answer from Nokia support center. Still nothing but cri-cri...cri-cri Thank you Nokia for not connecting people
