  • ITunes recognizes iPhone but won't sync

    I charged my iPhone last night and went to sleep. When I woke up all my songs were deleted and all my videos. On itunes it said your iphone could not be synced because there is not enough free space. 8.31 GB is required, 56 MB available. But I dont have any songs or videos on their, but my photos will sync to mu iPhone.

    Clerify: iTunes said 6.31 MB needed and I have under Music tabs unchecked the sync and under videos I have sync videos and only checked one small video. I also unchecked sync pictures. This is all under the iphone tab when your iphone is connected to iTunes. Where it shows my iPhone memory space it is has
    Other (orange) 7.16 GB
    Photos (yellow) 10 MB
    Free (white) 109.7 MB
    When I'm on my iphone and go to iPod there is no videos or music and when I charged it last night I didn't click anything and awoke and it was all gone and could not sync it back but only sync videos.
    Thank You for replying

    Can someone please help me?  I downloaded a song from iTunes yesterday, & it put it into my iTunes library, but won't sync it to my iPod.  I have never had this problem before & would appreciate any help.    Thank You!

    try reseting your ipod by holding down the home button and the sleep button.

  • ITunes recognizes iPhone but won't let me sync.

    I have an iPhone 5c and when I plugged it in to sync iTunes recognizes the phone, but the little phone icon is grayed out and I can't click it. I can't access any of the sync settings or the sync button. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but that didn't work.
    using windows, iTunes 12, ios 8.1

    I shut down my computer for a few hours (after already trying uninstalling iTunes and restarting my computer several times with no results) and then plugged in my phone and it miraculously works. Glad iTunes is working like it should but it's so frustrating when there's not a clear solution.

  • I have an iPod Touch and got a new computer; iTunes is installed, but won't sync with my iPod properly.

    I am running the new computer under Windows 7, and have tried to sync my iPod.  It uploaded the photos and videos from the iPod, but won't upload the apps or music.  The iPod is also not downloading the new music on the iTunes.  How can I sync what I have on the iPod to the computer, without losing the settings, apps and music already there?

  • ITunes recognizes iPod but can't sync - driver missing?

    Here's the rundown. Several months ago, the complete content of the old XP machine where this iPod's library resided was migrated to a Windows 7 Home Premium system using LapLink PC Mover.  iTunes had never previously been installed on the Windows 7 unit.  iTunes appeared to be functional afterwards, but on the first and all subsequent instances of attempting to sync the iPod, clicking on the Sync button did and still does nothing.  I have tried connecting the iPod to multiple different motherboard-based and pcie-based USB ports, and to a USB2.0 external hub. (Sometimes the screen briefly flashes as though it was switching to the sync process monitor, but usually it's just no change.)  I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple software from the machine, rebooting, and reinstalling.  (When I say "all", that includes iTunes itself, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update, in that order.  Trying any other order produced complaints.  Quicktime is not installed on this machine; iTunes and the iPod are not used for video.)  In looking at the postings of others who have had similar issues, I found a recommendation to reinstall another driver that I have verified is not loading and is not running with the iPod hooked up:  Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.  I have tried to reinstall this driver, but it hasn't worked.  What I have come to suspect is that something in the Windows registry got borked during the transfer, and is causing the load process for the *needed* driver to fail, possibly by trying to load the old XP version.  But my registry-fu is not strong in this, so I'm looking to see if anyone else has run across this issue previously and found a solution.
    Points to note:
    Windows 7, installation was a port from XP via LapLink PCMover
    5th gen classic iPod 80Gb with 34Gb free
    iTunes version 11.4.0.18 is installed  (This was the current version when I started trying to find the problem.)
    Apple Mobile Device Support software is loaded.
    Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is NOT loading, either before or while the iPod is connected.
    In Device Manager, the iPod appears as a Disk Drive and as a Portable Device when connected, but does not appear in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers list.
    iTunes recognizes the iPod and can access it sufficiently to verify that it does not need to be updated.
    iTunes can eject the iPod.
    iTunes cannot sync the iPod.

    I can now expand the information somewhat.  On my second, very similar setup (5th gen Classic connected to Win 7/32 with iTunes 11.4.0.18) I was able to successfully do the initial sync of the iPod several weeks ago, but this afternoon, when I tried to sync it to include the music I had added recently, it failed in the same manner as the other system.  I really, really, really DO NOT want to downgrade to iTunes 12 with it's horrible antinavigation interface and lack of the very useful and needed Sidebar, but it is beginning to look like 11.4.0.18 is problematic, and I don't have an installer for anything else at present.

  • Itunes recognizes iPad, but doesn't show up a summery bar...

    Hey everyone. I just recently bought an iPad today, and was so eager to get started on using it.
    I plugged it into my mac, and itunes opens up... that's all it ******* does though!
    Basically on the devices screen it DOES show the iPad, but when I click on the iPad, where the summery section is meant to be, there is only the "iPad" name on a white background... THATS ALL IT DOES!
    I just want it to work, please help me with this because it's really irritating :S
    Thanks! o0 Will Ryan 0o

    I haven't seen this or read about it here, but this is what I'd try, in order:
    (I am assuming you activated the ipad, right? If not, do that first.)
    1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
    2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
    3) Reinstall itunes on the computer.

  • Itunes recognizes ipad but not iphone 5,

    Seriously? Nobody knows?

  • Itunes recognizes ipad but computer does not show it under MyComputer

    when i plugged my old iphone into my computer, my computer would show it as another hard drive when i clicked My Computer. My new Ipad does not. I tunes recognizes it and it is accessable but still would like to access it via other programs. ie movie conversion, transfer photos, documents.
    btw it was not recognizeable on two different computers
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The iPad has no disk mod or camera roll so it is not accessible as a drive. You phone, if it had a camera had the photos taken available via them showing up in a disk drive.

  • Bought an iPod nano yesterday. My PC recognizes it but won't sync/download music.

    The online manual says 7th generation nanos run on iTunes 12.1.1. I've tried downloading latest iTunes but I keep getting 12.0.1. My PC is running on Windows 7 starter. help.

    If you right click on the song it will give you an option such as Create AAC version or Create mp3 version.
    To control what option appears  Preferences, general.
    At the bottom right is a button called import settings. This will start another dailog box where you can choose which encoder to use
    Select Mp3 version.
    Go back to your song and create an mp3 version and see if that synces

  • I have Icloud through Itunes and Purchased Icloud on my Ipad but when I Sync my my Ipad with my Itunes account it downlods my music directly to my Ipad Hard drive and it's taken up all my available memory storage. How can I load my ituse in Icloud

    I have an Iclouds account through Itunes and also I paid to have and an Icloud account on my Ipad but when I sync my Itunes music it's not being stored in the Icloud but directly on my Ipad haard drive. I like to know what do I have to do to correct this problem.

    Hey jousley33,
    I see that you wish to have your music stored remotely and be able to access it via streaming on your iPad. This is a feature of the service called iTunes Match:
    Apple - iTunes - iTunes Match
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    You may also be able to access the music that you have purchased through the iTunes Store remotely:

    What happens when you try? Does the iPod even appear in iTunes?  Have you tried a different cable or different USB ports on each PC?

  • TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

    My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed.  In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working.  I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

    See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
    This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
    Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting  syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.
