Syncing problem for iPhone

I use iPhone ( Version2) with a Windows 7 computer. earlier I used it on another Windows XP System. Months after the changeover, when I sync my iPhone ( Version 2 ) with outlook, it synced music and calendars successfully. But if I include contacts also for syncing, it just hangs indefinitely. While on the same issue, Apps on my current computer also refuses to sync. What can be the reason ?

should be for reporting and diagnosing a bug.
If you are simply dissatisfied with iTunes 11 and its features
(or elimination of features) and also its bugginess, post here:

Ios7 music sync problems for iPhone 4S

Like many other folks I made the huge mistake of updating (NOT upgrading) to io7, in my case 7.0.4, then trying to sync musci from iTunes. I first upgraded (ha!) to iTunes 11.1.3, then found I was lost in the 'waiting for changes' zone. I've now been working on this problem for hours, along with a host of other ios7-related changes (e.g. the inability to limit the number of gmail messages ported into active memory). I've tried most of the fixes others have listed [remove all sync flags, rebuild playlist, clean out chinese characters, etc.] and finally got one sync to make it through the 'veil', but subsequent syncs now get stuck as well. I have not tried a full restore and really don't want to go down that path. This is pathetic, and the total cone of Apple silence about this issue makes you wonder where their customer focus disappeared to. Any other ideas?

This is a user to user forum, there is no Apple here.

All backup/sync files for Iphone lost on old PC, anyway to sync with new PC without losing music, photos, contacts and texts?

All backup/sync files for Iphone lost on old PC, anyway to sync with new PC without losing music, photos, contacts and texts?

Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iphone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your device got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
Apps can be downloaded again for free, in the US music as well. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

ITunes sync problems with iphone 5

Is anyone having problems with iTunes (11.1.2) not syncing properly with their iPhone 5?
Some examples:
Example 1
Existing playlist on Mac Mini (Mac OS X v10.7.5) edited to add a song
iPhone 5 (iOS v 7.0.3) "Sync Music" setup to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres', with edited playlist selected
iPhone 5 hardwired to Mac Mini and 'Sync' clicked.
Upon completion of sync, playlist is not updated
Follow-up Action taken - unchecked "Sync Music" in iTunes for iPhone 5 and click 'Apply'
Upon completion of sync, all 'Playlists' are removed, but all 'Artists' and 'Songs' are still listed.
Re-checked "Sync Music" and clicked 'Apply'...sync showing that all selected music is being copied to the iPhone
Upon completion of 2nd sync, "Playlist" now updated.
This type of issue happens constantly. I experienced something similar after I added an album and then "Selected" that artist to be included in the sync. The initial sync did not include this new ablum. It was only added to the phone after I unchecked "Sync Music", synchronized, and then re-checked it and synchronized again.
Can someone provide some insight as to why this is happening?

Alright. I was having the same problem at first. I would tell iTunes to synch playlists and it wouldn't synch the playlists at all, so it kept all the playlists that had been on my iphone to begin with. I followed some steps somewhere in Apple Discussions to get my iTunes to synch. So now it at least synchs!
I did this:
1. in itunes with the iphone plugged in uncheck the Sync Music Box from itunes
2. on your iphone go to settings/general/usage/music and DELETE all music I know it's scary but trust me it works!
3. power down the iphone
4. unplug iphone from computer
5. power down the computer
6. power up iphone
7. power up computer
8. plug in iphone
9. check Sync Music Box (except it was already checked for me...)
10. sync
NOW my problem is that a smart playlist that I've been trying to synch has 106 songs on my iTunes (and according to iTunes that's how many songs are on the playlist on the iPhone), but on the iPhone itself, it has 274 songs on it. They aren't even duplicates, they're random songs that aren't on that playlist!
I really don't see the sense in backing it up and restoring it from the backup since that's literally giving the phone the same problems, and I'd clearly like to avoid wiping the slate clean and starting over both on my phone and on iTunes (I have 7100 songs. Would YOU want to wait that long to rebuild iTunes!?). Any tips?

ITunes 11 sync problems with iPhone 5 and ios 7

I just installed itunes 11 and it iTunes will no longer sync with my iPhone 5. It would say that it was syncing and then the new files would not be transferred. I uninstalled and re-installed. All of my files were present in iTunes. I would try to sync again and now it tells me I need 500 MB of space to complete the sync I am only trying to sync 9 new songs. No way its 500 MB. Besides the bar at the bottom of itunes says I have 3.2 GB of space. Is anyone else having trouble with the new iTunes?

Ok folks .. here is the solution that has finally worked for me. After spending over 45 days on and off the phone with Apple support, this is the work around solution for the ibooks.
Set your IPAD as new and go through that whole set up process. Plug in your device so it can communicate with iTunes. When you load your books from iTunes to the IPAD do not synic the first time. You will have to drag and drop from iTunes the books/music you want loaded. After you manually do this, the synic seems to work fine.
Also things I have found. By dragging and dropping the volume of books I have. It took less time to load on my IPAD then it did trying to synic and waiting over 24 hours to load in IPAD (at which time you can't touch your device). It was during this huge file load that the Ibooks App/iTunes/Cloud and whatever other Apple software all talk, that the books being loaded start to go squirrely and go into limbo.
Here is the problem. When you get the message "waiting for files to copy", itunes and your device are having an issue. So files that iTunes thinks it has copied over, actually go into limbo and sit there greyed out and won't work on your device. When you try to re-synic again, iTunes says "hey! I have already copied these over" and will sit there on "waiting for files to copy".
A way to fix the files that are in limbo, delete your app and re-download it. The files that moved over from iTunes to your device will still be there, however, the files that are in limbo will disappear. This should stop the synic issue ... or it will identify that there are issues with some of your files.
Is this a great fix ... nope!   I pushed and pushed to be allowed to talk with someone from DEV and got stonewalled. I even brought in their Customer Support from Corp Head office and got absolutely no where.
BOTTOM LINE: iTunes and your devices can not handle a huge transfer of files from iTunes to the device and it creates this limbo "waiting for files to be copied". I find this ironic, because I have never had this problem when it comes to my music (transfering from iTunes to my IPOD), however, I haven't synic that device in awhile, guess i am scared it will do the same crap.
I also got Apple to acknowledge that when they test out their new software upgrades and devices that they ONLY test with iTunes Store only products (ie: music/books/apps). Infact, Apple DOES NOT test any outside source materials. I found this rather pathethically sad, since 99.9% of the users of any devices get their music/books from sources OTHER then the Apple Store. This means that a file that USED to work for you (example: a song) and was loaded on your device fine before all these software upgrades in Nov/2013 might not work anymore because of a change they have made in their software.
Last conversation I had with Apple (both Support and Customer Service) was them telling me that DEV was looking into the problem but did not have an ETA on when a fix would happen.
Also keep in mind, I found that even with a 128kg AIR, it doesn't like to hang alot of books.   I found that at around 3k in books, the device starts to freeze up. This contradicts the Apple concept, that the device can hold as many songs/books as you want, until you reach the max room available on the device. I can clearly tell you this statement is infact false. The device does not like to hold that many files and it starts to delay on you (quite noticeable) at 3k.
So, that in a nutshell has been my experience with Apple Support. 45 days later, I have reset my Air 10 times, tried to load all my books (at one time) 9 times, to finally find that the only way to get them in was a drag and drop the alphabetic (one letter at a time) and let it load on the IPAD before I would drag and drop more. The synic problem doesnt happen anymore, I had to eliminate 2 books that itunes just would not send over to the IPAD even though there was nothing wrong with the file. Am I happy?   NOPE ... talk about bait and switch.
Consumers beware ... Apple doesn't necessarily deliver what it says it will.

ITunes wifi sync 'looking for iPhone' then ejects phone

Hi,
I have sought an answer to this for a long while with no success. So I have joined ASC to see if any of you folks may help
My Hardware:
Apple iPhone 4s
MacBook Pro (2009)
TP-Link Router (TD-W8961ND)
My Problem:
iPhone connects to mac over wifi and shows up in itunes.
When I initiate a sync itunes pauses and states 'looking for iPhone'
The iPhone is then ejected from itunes, without syncing (and no longer shows until I restart itunes)
Further info:
I believe this is a router issue as wifi sync works flawlessly over other networks I have used.
I have enabled uPnP (and have tried disabling it and resetting the router etc).
I DO NOT believe this is an issue with itunes, iphone or Mac as I can sync over other peoples networks
Any help appreciated.

Hello there tastesalittlestrangetome.
Seems like you've done some excellent troubleshooting already. This Knowledge Base article provides some extensive/thorough steps to review and follow:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4062
But as you've indicated before, the article also mentions the potential of what you've already determined. It does work on other networks:
Test your device on a different network. If the device works on another network, the issue most likely exists with your router or network configuration. Contact your router manufacturer or Internet service provider for additional troubleshooting.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

New address on IPHONE will not appear on MAC a sync problem from IPHONE to MAC

I am having a sync problem but I don't believe many who are offering answers understand the issue. I write/make/create a 'new' contact on my IPHONE 4 address book. I wait for it to sync over air. Yes, on my MAC and on my IPHONE I have it set up to sync over air. That is what it says on the INFO tab on the IPHONE page of the Itunes when I connect the IPHONE to my MAC.
No, I will not turn off the over air sync, I do not want multiple duplicates of my addresses!
On my IPAD I have no problems, my notes sync, my address book syncs but it does not do it from Iphone to MAC???

Hi denctanner,
I did read the post. I was simply explaining that Contacts does not sync with the OTA Sync function, it syncs via iCloud if you want to sync wirelessly....
The OTA Sync option on the Info page has nothing to do with the iCloud syncing of your Contacts....
Try deleting your iCloud account on your iPhone and signing on again. Once you have signed iCloud back on, make sure all the options you want checked are checked, and then try it again. (When you delete it, you will get a message that it will delete your Photo Stream and Document but don't worry, when you sign back on, they will come back).
Cheers,

Itunes 11.1.3.8 sync problems with iphone 5 - help?

I have an iPhone 5 and I am using itunes 11.1.3.8.
I noticed that a few CDs I recently imported were not syncing onto my iphone. After a few tries at syncing, I noticed that under the 'On this iPhone' section the songs from these CDs were listed but were faded and had grey dotted circles next to them. A few more syncs later and now pretty much all my music content has disappeared from my iPhone. Every single song that I had before is still in my music folder on the iphone, but if you try to play any they just fade and come up with a red download circle and a stop button and the player skips through load of songs until it get to one that is still saved on my iphone. I had about 1100 songs before and although all of them are still in my music folder, the only ones still working are about 40 that are in a playlist I created and a few videos and songs that I never had on my iphone before because they were unticked in my itunes library but have suddenly synced onto my iphone. I had about 3gb free space before, when I sync it lists correctly how much should be there, but then it does a very quick sync and goes to having 7.5gb free. Incidentally, even though only 40 of the 1100 songs are working, in settings it says there are about 840 songs on my iphone. Even though the music has been the only real thing affected, the data on one of my apps has completely disappeared.
I have scoured the internet and nothing seems to help. I have tried to deselect all my music so it is all removed from my iphone but when I sync it just goes back to the same thing. I can't restore it to a previous backup because the only backups remaining are ones after this occurred. I have tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. I have tried reinstalling itunes. I have deleted itunes and reinstalled it again. I have signed out of my itunes store account. I have tried manually selecting songs but it wont allow me. I have tried unselecting the tick box saying 'only sync songs ticked'. I have deleted all my temporary files on my computer and cleaned out the registry. I have turned my computer off and on.
I have a feeling it may be somethign dodgy with itunes 11.1.3.8. I only downloaded this update within the last two weeks. It synced once before and synced earlier on today without these problems occuring apart from the recent CD imports syncing. The only difference today is that I added a £15 gift voucher to my itunes account and bought a song. When I bought the song, I did so through a cashback website. When I clicked through from the cashback website, itunes wa already open, and it seemed to refresh when I did this. Incidentally, this song is one of the few still in my iphone and working.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Thanks, I read the info, but it does not mention the IOS version.
Are you using yourself this combo of software?
Background: In The Netherlands I am getting the info on an Apple User group that there would be no iTunes Sync possiblity anymore with the intro of IOS7, which I cannot imagine, or at least don't hope so. They say that IOS7 does not have those sync possibilities anymore, so I would be forced to use iCloud.

Random selections of mp4 videos won't sync, convert for iPhone option in iTunes comes up with unknown error 2002, help please!

I've been having massive issues copying mp4 video files onto my iPhone 4 from my windows 7 (64 bit) pc.
I converted a large number of avi files into mp4 using aiseesoft movie converter and most of them work just fine.
However about a quarter of the files with no Obvious difference in size and converted the same way will not sync.
Instead a message appears saying these cannot be played on the iPhone.
Also when then trying to use the iTunes convert for iPhone function It fails for unknown error 2002.
Any help on why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When the videos are in the Movie library, try using the Create IPod and iPhone Version in the Afvanced tab of iTunes.

Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?
