TS3540 Iphone 4S won't sync with iTunes after update to 11.1.3

I have updated all softwares on my Macbook Air 10.7.5, included the iTunes 11.1.3.
Once i plugged my Iphone 4S IOS 7.0.3, iTunes wouldn't see it, recognize it or sync.
Other iphones show up.
What is up?
HELP! It's driving me crazy!
Thank you!
Melanie

This seems to have fixed the issue: on your desktop, hold down the [OPT] key and click on "Go" in the menu bar; holding down the [OPT] click on Library, find Preferences, and then delete all the files that start with "com.apple.itunes.XXXX.plist" where the "XXX" is whatever other things may exist - as long as they end in "plist". From my experience, preference files are rebuilt by the system after the next restart, so you have very little worry of losing any important data; the worst that could happen )and NOT in this instance, but for other plist files) is that you may have to reset the application "preferences" again when you next start it up, to act or appear in a "preferred" customized way for you.
Once you delete the .plist files, empty the Trash, and either log out or restart the computer. Once you're back up and operational, start iTunes and your iDevices should reappear in the sidebar (if that's open) and/or at the top of the screen (if that view is enabled).
Hope that helps. It definitely fixed my problem!

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum. The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

IPod won't sync with iTunes after iOS8

I already posted about this but I will post again since I didn't receive any replies. I don't know if there is any way to contact Apple directly about this without having to fork up some money. My iPod Touch 5 will not sync with iTunes ever since the iOS8 update. It shows up in the menu, but will not sync. I click on sync or update, or even backup... nothing. It looks like it's trying to do something for about a second, then it just stops. I NEED TO SYNC MY IPOD. Please someone address this issue and fix it!!!

Mac. And I wanted to add, when the iPod is in the menu, and I click on it, the "sync" button is grey--I can't click on it. The only way to access it is to go to, say, my photos and click or unclick a group of photos. Then it will show the "apply" button. I click on that and it says "starting sync" for a second and then it stops. And the menu bar at the bottom has a little bit of blue "Audio" a couple other little bits of color, then a whole bunch of yellow "other". It's like it recognizes that the iPod is there, but it's not connecting to its content properly.

Iphone 5s won't sync with itunes on windows 8 - i can see all the tunes in there, artwork etc but they won't play

Hi
Hope one of you can help, thanks in advance.......
windows 8/iphone 5s/latest IOS
I've synced my iphone with my pc and backed up too and when i go into music on my iphone i can see all the tunes listed on there including album covers etc but when i go to play one of the tunes nothing happens or sometimes the phone goes kind of crazy and seems to scroll through every album (visually) on the phone and then stop?! still without playing any actual music?
In the apple store they told me to un-sync music and then re-sync which i did but this hasn't worked. although when i had un-synced and went into my phone to check whether music had been removed it was still there (but still didn't play as described above)
so really i want to know either 1) how to properly delete all the songs from the phone and then re-install them or 2) just get them to sync properly!
Other info - i transfered itunes to a new pc recently and up until just now, i couldn't play these tunes on itunes on my PC, they opened in some terrible microsoft thing - but i just changed the file associations inside windows and now they play great - just not on my phone as described above - maybe this has something to do with the problem?
Also, this only applies to music copied from cd-> itunes on pc 1 ->itunes on pc 2-> iphone. songs purchased from itunes store work fine
Thanks for reading

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

Iphone 3g won't sync in Itunes after 3.0 update

Hello everyone,
I updated to OS 3.0 on Wednesday, and had no issues with the installation. I just came to work, placed my iphone 3g on the dock, and iTunes gave me the spinning wheel. The iphone is recognized briefly in Itunes, but doesn't sync. I have to wait about 1.5 minutes for itunes to respond. The iphone then disappears from the itunes sidebar.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?

Let me rephrase that
If I have a current backup of my iphone saved on my Macbook Pro. Will all of my apps, including their settings, layout on screens, remain intact after I restore the iphone, and then restore from backup?

Brand new Iphone 5c won't sync with Itunes

I am new to the Iphone.
I just bought a new iPhone 5C and wanted to sync it with my itunes library. I have hooked up the phone to the computer with the USB cable provided, and updated my itunes to most current version.
Everytime I have searched for help, the general answer is to hook up the iphone, and then choose the device under files tab. Or that the device should appear next to the tab that takes you to the itunes store. But neither of these show up as an option for me. ( I can click devices, but can't click anything after that).
Any help will be appreciated.

If you would have looked at the tech specs:
Mac system requirements
* Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
* Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
* iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
* iTunes Store account
* Internet access
This has been out since the phone was launched. Depending on your Mac it might be a $30, or a 130. best to make an appt with your local Apple store to see what can be done.
Good luck.

Brand new iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes!!

I can see this topic has been covered several times but I haven't been able to fix this problem. Is it true that you must have iTunes 10.1 to use an iPhone 4?!?! Because I was never informed of that...sorry if I'm sounding stupid but I am brand new to mac and to the iphone and don't understand. I have read elsewhere that you only need iTunes 9.2 (which I have) but when I plug in my iphone it says I need version 10.1...and I can't get version 10.1 because I only have OS X 10.4.11...what the heck am I supposed to do? Is it true I'll have to pay an additional $130 to upgrade on top of all the money I just dropped on the phone?
Please help!

IPhone 5 won't sync to iTunes since update to 11.1.3.8 yesterday

I've tried repairing iTunes and resetting the sync history since I've also been getting the error message unable to load sync services. But iTunes will sync to my iPad 4. And if I make changes to my playlists on my iPhone they do update in iTunes but not vice versa. I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit service pack 1 and iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone. All was fine until the iTunes update yesterday. Can anyone help? I can get to the iTunes store no problem and like I mentioned, I can sync to my iPad 4 with no problems. I don't receive any error message and sync appears to work but playlists and music aren't updated/changed on my phone.

After trying all of that stuff I did wind up getting a fix for my iPad.
I unselected the music and did a sync to remove the music from my iPad. When I opened my iPad the music appeared to still be there but I didn't try to play the music. I plugged the iPad back in and checked the box to copy all the music and hit apply. When it was done all my playlists were correct and everything worked correctly.
I haven't tried changing the playlists again to see if it was just a first time glitch or a continuing issue.
McCroyd I don't know if you have tried this but it might work.
Good Luck.
