Why doesn't my iphone5 sync with itunes library?

Having trouble syncing my iphone5 with my itunes library. What is the problem?

If you've had the OS reinstalled on the computer then it's likely that it will be being seen as a a different computer.

If you want to copy your content back from the phone then you should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
For non-iTunes purchases (e.g. music copied from CDs), and if you haven't got it on your backup of your library, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Why can I no longer sync with iTunes?

I have 85.5 MB available and can no longer sync with iTunes with wi fi or plug-in. I get an error message that says I'm out of space. Whats the problem?

As I said in my reply to your other post you need more storage available. Like about 1 GB or more. You have to delete stuff from your iPod.

Why won't my iphone5 sync with my itunes?

Awhile back my computer had caught a virus and I had to take it to my dad for him to fix it. Now before all that had happened my iphone5 had now problems syncing to the iTunes in my computer. Since I got my computer back, I was told that everything had to be dumped from my computer, so I had to download iTunes again back into my computer. But now my iphone5 won't sync with my computer. It claims that my phone is synced with another iTunes, and that the only way to sync it to my computer is to dump everything that is in my phone!! I don't understand how it can't recognize my iphone5! Its the same computer and the same phone, but i just won't sync! I don't want to erase ANYTHING from my phone!! I just want it in my iTunes so I can put it all in my new iphone6+!!!

Why doesn't my calendar sync with my iphone or iPad?

When I make an calendar entry on my Mac (Lion) is doesn't automatically sync with my iphone or ipad. But if I make the entry on the iphone/ipad first, it will show up in my calendar on the Mac. What have I not done right?

On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect Calendars then reselect.
On both the iPhone and iPad, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Why won't my ipod sync with iTunes?

I have a first gen iPod Touch, running iOS5.1.1
When I connect to iTunes, it is recognized, and I can manually sync. However even when syncing, no new music or photos move onto the iPod. It just rattles through the sync stages & nothing changes
I used to think this was a memory issue, but I still have 1GB free space & I am not trying to add so much that it will completely fill (as far as I can tell)
Any suggestions?
thanks

1 GB of free space is not much.
You must have a 3G iPod since those can go to iOS 5.1.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
First verify your sync settings
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Next backup and restore from backup via iTunes
Last, restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Syncing with iTunes library [2 devices, l library]

Both my husband and I sync his and my iPads with my iTunes library and they have different names and separate backup names etc. But a few weeks ago I changed out the harddrive in the computer and now the iTunes Library is [ostensibly] a different one, so that you get all those warning notices about how you can't sync with 2 libraries and you'll wipe off the data etc.
My thought was to [1] transfer purchases from his iPad to the library and [2] back up to that library so there was a backup of his iPad associated with the library and then do the updating to iOS5 and syncing etc. = in essence replace the old Library with the new Library - even tho they are actually identical but the user name on the drive is a tad different.
Is that the right way to go - or is there a place I can go to find the old backup for his ipad from the old drive [I have it attached and also have TimeMachine backup as well] and move it into wherever it goes in the new library - the old drive is still under Snow Leopard and I'm at 10.7.2 on the new drive.
Any suggestions = I'm sure he doesn't wan to lose anythign on his iPad in this process so I want to be able to have him safely backed up to the new library and then use it as the new home.
thanks

Just an update = we are trying to get his iPad up to iOS5 so the Q is whether to do the steps in a particular order = if we transfer then back up then upgrade to iOS5 and then restore from backup will that work???

How to change syncing with Itunes library with another computer?

How can I get reed of the sync with my MacPro, and sync my iPhone with my MacBookPro?
I was syncing everything so far manually.
I would like to keep all my app's in iphone (their data, settings) unchanged.
Both of my computers use the same itunes account, but I want to use MacPro strictly for my audioproductions and basically want to "de-sync" it with iPhone.
please help,
Nenad

Thank you roaminggnome,
plug it in MacBookPro and sync it? I did try that and it does sync, but if I want to sync App's (with MBP) it will warned me that content of iphone will be replaced, and only thing I am concerned are the apps and all the data that has been saved with it.
Move everything from mac pro means ALL the music,photos...?

ATV2 No Longer able to Sync with iTunes Library

My ATV2 has been working just fine for weeks. I've watched a lot of content from my iTunes library on my iMac. I started up the ATV2 to watch a show and the interface was all garbage. It displayed blurred garbage of some of the movie/show icons at the bottom of the screen and reported that the Apple Store was not available to try again later. It then let me navigate, but the interface was still messed up. Part of the far right section of the display was on the left side of the screen. I finally unplugged it and plugged it back in and the interface was fine. It also appeared to be showing content from the Apple Store. I proceed to watch my show from my library, and it will not sync. It appears to but none of the content images show scrolling on the left side of the interface. Selecting a content category results in it displaying a message that it is "Loading...", but it never loads. I've restarted both devices, turned off and back on Sharing on both devices, recycled my Internet connection, but nothing seems to work. The ATV2 appears to be dead as far as syncing with my iTunes library now.

This just happened to me. Lost all my info on my phone but when I logged onto my laptop it showed all info was still in my calendars. If this is the same for you need to go to your settings, then go to mail,contact,calendar, then go to add account, then other, add CalDAV account.. You will have 4 things to fill out put Yahoo (server name) put your yahoo email and password and the description as yahoo... When you hit save will change the server name on it's own to CalDAV.calendar.yahoo.ca..... Once this goes threw all your info should come back to your calendar. This is what I did and it worked. Hope this helps.......

Reinstalled OS, now iPhone won't sync with iTunes library

Hi all,
I recently had to reinstall Tiger on my iMac G5 because Leopard kept crashing it. The iMac is where I have all of my photos and music (I use Leopard on my macbook but I don't have the media on there). When I try to sync my iPhone now, iTunes tells me that this iPhone is registered to a different library and if I want to sync it with this library, I need to erase everything on the iPhone. I do not wish to do this, so I have two questions...
1. Is it possible to back-up EVERYTHING (notes, web apps, photos not taken with the iphone camera, ringtones, etc) onto my computer so that I CAN do an erase and install?
2. Is there a way to get the library and the phone to recognize each other as having the same owner as they did before so I can just sync the two and not erase anything?
Thanks!
Lisa

The recently installed os replaced the iphone settings in itunes so when you connect the iphone to the computer now, itunes has no record of it being previously connected.
So, the only way to sync it to the computer now is to let it erase and re-sync.
Hope this helps.
