Trying to Sync my iPhone4 to my desktop with Windows XP, I get a message saying cannot sync because the device is not connected.

I need help with an error message I receive when trying to Sync my iPhone4 to my desktop using Windows XP.
It says unable to sync, as the device is not connected. I've changed the usb ports, and tried again to no avail. Anybody have any suggestions?

After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. the device is not connected." but it is connected.

I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. The device is not connected."
The device is connected, what is wrong here?

This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
To solve this problem, follow these steps.
1. Close iTunes.
2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

What does it mean when I have my iphone plugged in trying to sync it and just when it gets to step 7, something pops up that says "attempting to copy the disk 'TI10653500D' failed. The device is not connected"

Have you tried a different cable?

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

HT1386 HELP -- "The ipod cannot be synced. The device is not connected"

Just got a 1st gen ipod & trying to Sync it, it just keeps saying "The ipod cannot be synced. The device is not connected" -- the device IS connected, it even says the ipod is there on iTunes, but won't Sync. Also, iTunes is up-to-date (just checked) so not that. Been trying since last night, so I know turning the PC off & back on or restarting doesn't work either.
It's also saying the HDD isn't connected -- which it is because I can access it & iTunes can play songs from it.
Not sure if this detail is of use, but I'm running Windows 7.... My iPod is running iOS 4.2.1
Please help, im stuck! :-/
PS.
This is my first ipod, so please don't assume I already know anything about Apple products -- I won't be offended if you go into ipod basics lol.

Appears to be fixed.
Moved all music recorded at 128bit or less to different location.
Moved video files to different location.
Synced sections of iTunes collection individually: Only Music, then Podcasts, etc.
Seems to be working fine. Apps also came over without changes.
???? Only thing missing is my PLAYLISTS.
???? Someone know where they reside on my old HD list and why they did not come over?

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Hi! I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 11.1.3.8. on my Windows 8. Now I can't sync my iPhone, because the device is not recognised by iTunes. Somebody have any idea why, or what can I do (except refresh the iPhone software) ?

I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.

I am running Lion (OS X 10.7.4) and trying to reinstall iLife06, a .mpkg file, using Installer.app. I get a message "You can't open the application iLife06.mpkg because PowerPC apps are no longer supported." Is there a work around?? Thanks in advance!

The only workaround would be to purchase the current version of iLife apps from the App Store.
Lion doesn't support the old PowerPC architecture anymore, which is what iLife '06 was written for.
If the internal apps are universal, right-click on the mpkg and choose Show Contents. Then, dig through and run the specific installer package for each application.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

I'm trying to download an app from app store but get a message saying cannot connect to i tunes store--my wireless network is working. What gives?

This issue is cropping up everywhere on the iPad site, leading me to believe that it is an iTunes server glitch. I am able to connect without issue in the northeast U.S.
You can try this ....
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Sign in and try again.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.
