TS1286 what can I do if I cannot sync with ITUNES as USB is not recognised, iphone is not charging and apple icon displays and then dissapears - loads and then dissapears....?

I started having issues charging my Iphone and found that if it was switched off and on mains power it would charge.
It does not allow syncing with Itunes and or usb conncection.
I have a lot of photos on my phone that I have not been able to save (USB issue) and I am worried about retrieving these.
If my phone is connected to mains power - the apple icon comes on - then it goes off - then a few seconds later the icon comes up again and then off again?
Help please.
Thanks
EJ

You need to do a Force Restore:

Iphone 4: updated to IOS 6.2. Blank Mail screen, and stuck at 21 emails. Can't access anything. Cannot Sync with iTunes either. It cycles and never gets beyond step 2, then recycles

I have an iphone running OS6.01. After updating, March 3 was my last sync. iTunes recognizes the phone, but the progress bar sits on eithe step 1 or 2 of 7 steps. Then it starts over. The device icon on the left shows syncing taking place, as does the phone.
Have rebooted the MBpro and the phone several times. Have held down the top and home buttons until the apple appears, to no avail.
Also starting March 3rd my iPhone has been struggling; My Mail is stuck at 21, and all I get is a blank screen when I click on the app. I have now other apps that won't open at all now...and when I go into settings to click on mail, I get a blue hightlighted box that stalls and goes nowhere.
Thoughts...solutions are welcome

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

when trying to sync my iphone in itunes i keep getting the error message "itunes cannot sync apps because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined." can anyone explain what this means?

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

IPod cannot sync with iTunes

Hello everyone. I have a small problem with my brothers iPod. It cannot sync with iTunes, but mine can sync perfectly. We have the same iPod (Nano, 2GB) but his is black, and mine is white. When the iPod is plugged in, iTunes freezes for a minute or two and then keeps going. When songs are being updates, it freezes, and sometimes says that the source cannot by written to or read from, Any help?

Oh and note that sometimes iTunes thinks its a White iPod but really is Black.
Help!
Note: i did read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267 and it did not help.

Is the computer the one the device normally syncs with?
If not, sync with the computer it normally syncs with.
If it is, place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
Backup its backup. Backup content.
USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
Have you had to restore the iPod?
Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

HT1386 iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) cannot sync with itunes 11.1.5.

Both my iPhone and iTunes are updated, iOS 7.1 and iTunes 11.1.5. However, not only can they not wifi sync, when I plug in my iPhone, my iTunes doesn't respond. The iPhone tab did not pop up. When I go under "File" -> "Devices", nothing is there when my iPhone is plugged in. I want to sync my iPhone with iTunes, but I cannot do anything right now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that didn't change a thing. I restarted my laptop and my iPhone, but that didn't change a thing either. What can I do?

I can't get my iphone4 to sync with itunes on Windows XP. Can anyone help me?

Is it not possible to do this on Windows XP?
I turned off my antivirus, and firewall.
I've tried authorizing my computer, but it just sits there and and tried to connect to itunes for hours and nothing happens.
It won't enable home sharing.
It won't sync my phone saying "there is a problem syncing" this iphone. (I read somewhere to make sure you had "sync phone turned on" but I've been unable to find that on my phone in itunes or under settings, or on itunes on my iphone.
I'm a novice to this, I'll admit, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I plug in the phone. I tunes comes up automatically and starts running all by itself. Step 1, step 2. Then it wants to authorize my computer, and it won't go any further.
If I don't plug in the phone, turn it on, it doesn't work. If I don't plug in the phone, THEN plug it in and try it, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Can anyone help me?

The iphone will sync itunes content and pics with one computer at a time.
Sycning to another will erase the current content from the iphone.
Copy everything (contacts/calendars/pics/files/docs/itunes content/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Apple tv 1st gen cannot sync with itunes 11.1 purchase

My 1st gen Apple TV cannot sync movies/TV shows that were purchased after itunes 11.1 upgrade. Old movies/TV shows purchased prior to 11.1 have no issue deleting or adding to ATV, anyone has same issue?

Well ... took a long time but found out you are right. The ones that I cannot sync to ATV are the 1080p movies/TV shows.
I thought I had previously downloaded many HD movies/TV shows, but after checking the "get info" they are at best 720p even though the titles say "HD"
Guess I have to upgrade. Thanks a lot!

How can i make my ipod touch sync with itunes again?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Where can i download free music that sync with itunes

where can i download free music that sync's with itunes ?

If you are using iTunes on a computer to sync to the iPhone, any tracks in an acceptable format will do. If you mean directly to the iPhone, you can't. it would need to come from the iTunes store exclusively. As for finding free music in general, try a Google search.
