V3 RAZR used to sync in 10.3.9, now won't sync under 10.4.6 (iSync 2.2)

My Cingular V3 RAZR paired and synch'd (address book and iCal events) under 10.3.9 without issue. Recently did clean install of Tiger, using Setup Assistant to transfer personal files from a FW clone. Now under 10.4.6 (iSync 2.2), iSync WILL NOT recognize phone.
The phone pairs with Bluetooth fine (can transfer photos, etc.). Starting with no devices in iSync, I select "Add new device". The "Add Device" window finds phone with correct personal name of my phone, a green dot next to the correct RAZR V3 icon, and message to "double-click to add this device...".
iSync then shows the generic mobile phone icon with a exclamation point marked Stop Sign and the word "unknown", placed next to the .Mac icon.
This is very frustrating. I have restarted both devices numerous times, shut off and restarted BT, etc. with no success. If you have any suggestions and feel screenshots would help, I have some.
Thanks,
Laurence

I think my MetaClasses.plist was corrupted. I tried again and I am now syncing again.
One thing has changed however... the phone is no longer showing "Company" contacts at the beginning of the Phone Book. They are now intermingled alphabetically with other entries?

OK, I decided to upgrade to Mavericks. 1st I checked to see if Parallels 8 woudl work w it. It said yes, but upgrade parallels 8 1st so I did that (& then realized I should update virus def & run Windows updates also. Don't use it very much 180 days ago it said).
Then saw some reports of mail not working so well so decided to clean out a lot of un-needed emails on my Mac. Also ran updates to Mountain Lion.
Then closed everything & shut down. Left it off for a few min to clear out any left over electronic garbage & rebooted. Opened App store & clicked the Mavericks free download. Almost immediated it gave me error message & suggested doing it from the Purchased section.
Ok, I tried downloading it there. 2-3 times got same almost immediate error message.
Then, I think it was after disconnecting external HD & printer I tried again & it was looking good w download. It was fluctuating between 40-45 min time remaining & showing almost 500 mb downloaded when I got the error message again.
btw, I also got an error message when running Windows update. There was an unknown error code when I tried updating Service Pack 1 (which it showed I needed, although I'm thinking that is kind of strange since I've had Windows 7 on a MacBookPro since shortly after I bought the original MacBookPro in April 2010. (Spilled water on it last May & Apple store said it would need expensive repair so bought this replacement that they used my Time Machine backups to install everything on. This was right as I was getting ready to move & I haven't yet found the old one to see if maybe it would work. It should be in one of my boxes).
So, if it is having this much trouble just getting it installed I'm kind of afraid to go ahead. Wondering why some report it works fine & a lot of others saying no.
I very frustrated since I just want to be able to have the functionality I had to be able to sync Numbers between my iPad & my Mac.

HT2513 Older iCal calendars (used with MobileMe) now won't sync with iCloud without creating duplicates. How do I sync to my other devices without iCloud?

I've been using iCal for years for my business and have over 15 calendars on it (to color coordinate projects) and used to sync them with MobileMe. Now that I've upgraded my mac and have Mountain Lion and can only use iCloud to sync Address Book, Notes etc - iCloud doesnt even acknowledge my 15+ calendars unless they are DUPLICATED.
I've turned OFF iCloud and tried to sync via iTunes telling it to sync to iphone/ipad from "Calendar on this Mac" - but it sees nothing. My device Calendars are blank (iCloud off on them too).
HELP!!!

I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
I did not test merging so far...
IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

IPod Classic Formatted Itself & Now Won't Sync

Help! Plugged my iPod classic in using normal cable & USB port, iTunes picked it up fine. I transferred some new stuff over on to it, then i noticed the device wasn't showing the 'conncected' screen like it normally does whilst plugged in, so i pressed the middle button, it then disconnected itself and reset showing the Apple logo but when it had loaded up, everything has been wiped off! Absolutely nothing left, all music, videos etc gone. When opened in My Computer, it's recognised as a device and is showing up empty. I've transfered my music back on to the device, but it keeps saying that the iPod cannot be synced because a duplicate file name was specified.
Can anyone help? I couldn't eject it from iTunes, but i unplugged it and all the data i've transfered over is there, but the friggin' thing won't sync! Please help!

Hello ChewyEllis,
I would be frustrated as well if my iPod was not syncing. I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant:

Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone

I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
Any help would be appreciated.

I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone. I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch. WHy can't I get these songs on there?
It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate.
First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer. If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version." Use the new AAC version with your iPhone.

IPod Touch 4G upgrade to iOS 5 went badly, now won't sync.

iPod Touch 4G upgrade to iOS 5 went badly - backup corrupted. Reset iPod and installed as new device in iTunes 10.5 but would not sync. After many attempts and another reset, it has now synced apps, contacts, and movies but only immediately after a reboot of the iPod. Music won't sync at all. Sync fails silently with no error message or on subsequent attempts reports that sync failed to start.

Did you try to connect to your computer in recovery mode, set your device aup again "as new" and start all over?

çnow won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal

I bourght "E O Wilson's Life on Earth" and backed it up to my iMac. Now it won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal?
I also made the big mistake of downloading a free book about the making of the movie "Frankenweenie." Mega-memory eater. Now it wants to download additions and started to do so---now says paused. I can't delete the bloody thing. Seems like nothing I've downloaded, including free books, can be deleted. How can I get rid of this garbage?
Is there any way to just transfer my music from my iMac to my iPad and not affect anything else on my iPad? The whole iBooks thing is just a mess as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way to just drag and drop?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

IPhone synced w/win-new mac now-can i sync info with mac

OK, so I've had my iPhone always sync with my windows computer and now i bought a macbook pro but I'm unsure if i try to sync up all my information will my iphone be erased or will it transfer it to my mac?

Before you sync with the new MacBook for the first time: Make sure you put at least one contact into Address Book, and one calendar entry into iCal. Uncheck the checkboxes for syncing music, videos, etc (because you can only sync music to one computer). Then when you sync, make sure you choose the "merge" option. All of the contacts and calendar entries in your phone will populate to Address Book and iCal, respectively.

IPhone 3GS - Installed Software Now Won't Sync Photos

At the weekend I accepted the latest iPhone software update and installed it on my 3GS. I am now having problems Syncing. It does part of the Sync then stops and my Mac has a message about "unfound files" and the phone says "some hi-res images haven't been transferred". It's also wiped all of the photos on my iPhone. When I look at photos, albums, etc it's black/blank. I've tried to re-sync 3 or 4 times and tried all manual options. But no luck.
Any adivce?
Thank you.

Nevermind... wrong thread. Sorry.

Using the built in encode selected video files won't sync to iPad

Hi, how is it that when I right click on a video file and choose 'encode selected video files' then select 1080p sometimes they will sync to my ipad and sometimes they won't. It seems odd that my ipad air can record and edit 1080p but mavericks encode option doesn't make compatible 1080p video files.
The video files are recorded on a camcorder and I wanted to put them on my ipad to use ios's imovie.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks

Restrictions are Off on the iPad. I was able to get the video onto my iPad by dragging and dropping it from the Playlist into the iPad on iTunes. I never had to do it that way before, but it worked. Very odd.

Mp4 used to sync with ipad mini but now won't help!

I have had a couple of video files on my ipad which I transferred across from iTunes and played perfectly fine, but to save space on ipad I un sync'd them. I am about to go on holiday so thought I would put them back on my ipad but now it says cannot be played on ipad...have I done something wrong? I can still watch them on iTunes on computer and have watched them on this ipad in the past.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

3rd gen. nano fails Device Sync in Diagnostic Tests - Nike+ Run won't sync

I have not been having any trouble with my nano, iPhone 3G, or my wife's Touch until three days ago. Then, after a run, I tried to sync the nano (to upload my workout data) and it would not work. The iPod shows the workout and iTunes shows the workout in the Nike+ tab inside the iPod tree. However, the run still won't upload to Nike's site.
This cause me to look for solutions through iTunes. When I try to sync the nano, it only shows the sync info on iTunes for a second before saying "iPod sync is complete Eject before disconnecting" and my iPod shows the spinning sync icon for a little longer, but not long enough to sync. So, I ran the diagnostic tests through iTunes and the Device Sync Test. Results: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Does this test only check for "touch devices"?
Sorry for the long post, I'm just trying to fully explain for the benefit of the helpful people!
