IPhone 5 unable to sync with iTunes Macbook 2007

I have the Macbook 2007 laptop, and I am unable to update my itunes because i am not running Mac OS C 7 or higher. I am not going to get a newer laptop because my new iphone will not sync with my old data, and I have photos that I do not want to lose that was backed up. Please tell me what I could do. Thank you.

I'm having the same problem. I understand what the system requirements are, but I simply didn't notice them when I ordered the phone.
At any rate, I called Apple today and ordered Snow Leopard. It's a barely newer version of an old operating system ... but it should do the trick. Snow Leopard is 10.6 and you can download the 10.6.8 update on Apple's site once SL is installed.
After I receive the DVD in the mail (really? no download? ridiculous...) I'll install iTunes 10.7 and all should be well. Until then, my iPhone 5 will just be a paperweight.
Good luck!

HT1386 unable to sync computer itunes music library to ipod

Have older model ipod touch without camera which has 153 songs on it .I recently added a new album from a cd, not purchased from itunes,but it now is only on the itunes library & won't transfer over to the ipod. What do I need to do ?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

IPod Touch 4th Generation unable to sync with iTunes v.12

To whom this may concern,
I am struggling to sync an iPod 4G with IOS 6.1.6 with the latest version of iTunes 12 installed on my computer.
Essentially the problem was initially was that the device was recognized and I was able to access the summary. It came up saying that it was overcapacity to sync anything new onto the device. I have used the forums to find a solution to no avail. (I was unable to remove anything from the Ipod as the message did not change)
I tried to restore the Ipod which has not worked, as the device is no longer recognised on Itunes and comes up on Windows 7 as 'Apple Ipod' as opposed to 'so and so's iPod''.
I am wondering if manually resetting the Ipod from the Ipod itself would help so that it would be recognised on the Itunes (which I have reinstalled twice, thiking that was the problem).
I use windows 7 and have Itunes 12. It has become incredibly annoying and would like this problem fixed.

Iphone 4s unable to sync to itunes on windows computer

When I try to sync my iphone 4s to itunes on my windows 7 computer, it pops up with an error message saying " itunes cannot read the contents of iphone, go to summary tab and restore to factory settings", I have the most up to date version of itunes and up to date iphone software, any ideas??

It is not iTunes software. It is your computer, or the way your USB is configured or connected. iTunes is intermittently losing the USB connection. Your analysis that it is not the devices is reasonable, so look to the common components. Possible causes:
You have a bad cable
You are using a USB hub, not connecting directly to a USB port on the the computer. If the hub has its own power source it is probably OK, but if not this would definitely cause the symptom you see.
If your computer is not a laptop you are using a port on the front rather than the back of the computer (front ports are usually an internal, unpowered hub).
You have USB devices connected that use either a lot of power or have high data transfer rates (such as USB external drives). Try disconnecting all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
When you uninstalled iTunes to try to resolve the issue you did not use Apple's detailed procedure, and thus did not remove the drivers (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925)
You have the wrong version of iTunes (e.g., 32 vs 64 bit)

IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 upgrade issues; back-up won't load and unable to sync with iTunes

I've just updated my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 and went through the back-up routine. The back-up routine appeared to partially update, displaying an error, however has brought through my contacts, previous messages and has even maintained my bluetooth connection with the car. The phone appears to function ok although it will now not sync with my iTunes and so will not download music and Apps to the phone. I've tried to re-run the back-up however it just hangs with a message box advising that it is 'Estimating time remaining', a message that just hangs there for ages with no apparent actions (by ages I mean 15 minutes +).
Any advice would be much appreciated; to say this is extremely frustrating is an understatement.
Many thanks.

Hello, having the same problem, but the answer by KiltedTim is too simplistic. Butcher60, any news? I have tried removing everything, still the same. It is true that Vista fails loading the driver, but, in my case, I noticed that:
- if you reboot the sistem, the first time you connect any ios device, it is detected either by vista and by itunes. BUT if you disconnect it and connect it again, or connect another ios device, it is not detected enymore, neither by vista nor by i tunes, and you get the message, in managing resources, that the drivers of Apple mobile devices cannot be initialized (code 37)!!! This is so bad when you are doing an update (it is what happened to me), because, if you connect the device the first time, and then start the update, when reaching the point in which the device reboots, it is like connecting it for the second time, itunes does not detect it, and the device goes in recovery mode, so you must use another computer (with XP no such a problem, it seams) to complete it.
- BUT the problem is not only by vista, something happend with itunes 10.7, because I went back to a recovery point before itunes last version, and the driver are loaded by vista every time, only when using itunes 10.7 the same error occurs, and I did not find any solution (because downgrading itunes is not possible)
So, vista worked detecting ios devices before ios6 and itunes 10.7, it works without itunes 10.7 detecting every device, but it does not work with last i tunes. Can someone do something???

IPhone 5 unable to Sync to iTunes

My IPhone 5 will not sync with my iTunes. It charges when plugged in and i can access all of the photos on my PC but it won't sync or say it's a connected device in iTunes. Is it my iTunes or phone or even PC?

Iphone unable to Sync with Itunes after the 5.0.1 IOs upgrade

I get an error message when I try to sync my iPhone 4 with my iTunes. It reads:
"The iPhone "XXXX" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the selected items (additional 7.25GB required)."
My status bar for the phone on iTunes says that with everything selected, I have 2.7GB free on my phone.
I've also noticed that when it attempts to sync it cancels the sync after attempting to download something about a Safari safe downloading something or other (I've never been able to catch the whole wording because it cancels shortly after the attempted download)
This is frustrating, how might this be fixed, or how might I downgrade my OS to a previous version?
Thanks!

3 things to try:
1. disable anti trojan / virus real time scanners - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
2. disable firewall - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
3. disable your wifi and/or lan connection - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
(vpn software also seems to cause problems sometimes)
it seems they made some changes in the way it connects (prob in for the tethering) and its causing some issues for some (my connection failure was caused by -a squared- my anti trojan program)

Ipod Is Unable To Sync From ITunes

After that was finished I unplugged it and everything worked fine but of course my ipod was empty.

I've spent all day trying to fix this thing. Can someone please help me out?

an error comes up every time i change the song and it says "The iPod 'K-Bills' i-Pod' cannot be synced. There are too many files open currently."
it pops up EVERY TIME a song changes automatically or when i change the song....and it won't stop...its annoying and i was wondering if anyone has any solutions or possible ways of fixing this?

3gs unable to sync with itunes due to serious error

As soon as I plug the phone in to my laptop, a "blue screen error" occurs and the laptop shuts down and goes through a serious error recovery process.
It was OK until recently and I can't relate it to any obvious changes to neither hardware nor software. I am running the latest version of itunes

Try to sync without it. Does this app save a lot of data on your phone? Since the backup stores data from the apps, it might be possible that some of the data is corrupt and causing the standstill.

IPod unable to sync in iTunes

My daughter's ipod has been "disabled" and states to connect it to iTunes. When I do, it does not show up under devices. I have put the ipod in recovery mode (pic of iTunes and the cable) and still nothing. iTunes is up to date, and I know the usb cable and port works as my iPhone is still able to connect just fine. I have tried putting it in DFU mode, but nothing pops up in iTunes. I even tried another mac at the house and that did not work. Any suggestions?

You have tried a reset, right?
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Otherwise time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
