Why isn't iTunes recognising our devices anymore ie iPhone and iPad.

When we plug in our devices iPhoto opens up but not iTunes, whats changed?  We are no longer able to sync them.

I'm only seeing a paperclip icon on iPhone and iPad.  Also there seems to be no way of viewing the image indicated by the paperclip.  There is also no way I can find to insert an image into a note on the iPhone or iPad so this lauded feature seems a bit redundant.

  • HT3702 why did i get charged three times for the same purchase? is it because i use my apple id on three devices.. two iphones, and ipad... and and macbook geez apple i support you enough can i just pay for one copy of the audiobook

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    The iphone and ipad must be connected to the same icloud account.  Are you by chance using different IDs to connect from each device?

    That depends on what you mean. If you mean two iTunes Store accounts, no. Only one Apple ID can be logged into the iTunes Store at a time and if automatic download, iTunes Match or re-downloading of content is used the ID can not be changed for 90 days.

    But i have a question here in that case what happens to all the applications that have been purchased on my Id ? Wont i be needing them to be purchased/downloaded again in the new id?
    If you previously had been using the same Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases for both of you there is no reason to change what you've been doing. If this is your wife's first iPhone, and you want to share the iTunes Store account just don't use the new Apple ID you created. As long as there are no purchases on it there's nothing to worry about.

  • My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event.  So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow.  Why is this happening?  It's on my iPhone and iPad.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Why aren't the images in NOTES syncing to iPhone and iPad?

    In Mountain Lion we can now include images and such in our notes. Should they sync to our devices as well???

  • HT1386 i have updated itunes on my pc but now itunes no longer recognises any device i.e. iphone, ipod, ipad

    I can no longer sync my iphone 4, ipad 2 or ipod touch with itunes on my PC since updating itunes.
    Itunes does not recognise any of the products but the PC does , Have tried reinstalling itunes but no different
    any suggestions ?.

    I similarly upgraded iTunes in my Windows 8 PC this morning and couldn't get iTunes to recognize my iPhone 4s or iPad 3.  (Oddly, it did recognize my ancient iPod Nano, however.)
    I finally found this article, and it turned out my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver needed updating.  Check this out and see if it helps:

  • ITunes keeps skipping songs on my iPhone and iPad

    This is a problem as many have reported. I have about 4500 songs on iMac that are combination of my own CD's and purchased music from iTunes. I have several dozen songs or more that are skipped on both my iPhone 5 and iPad air. I have been to two different genius bars to try to rectify this problem to no avail. For instance I have the CD Stage Fright by The Band. Even though on both my both my phone and iPad it shows the songs, song 1,2,3 and 5 won't play. I have tried everything. I have turned off iTunes match on my iMac. Turned off iMatch on my phone, deleted the music on the phone. I then turned iTunes match back on my iMac to refresh. Turned on iMatch on the phone. Now my entire library of songs are in the iCloud. I proceeded to download the Stage Fright album on the phone and once again the 4 songs will not play while the other 6 songs from the album will. This isn't a case where iTunes doesn't sell the album. They do and every song is available for purchase. Each one of the four songs plays perfectly on my iMac. I have never done an exact count of the songs that won't play on my iPhone or iMac. That would involve trying to listen to everyone of the 4500 songs. Another CD in particular is the Power and Glory from NFL Films, the music of Sam Spence.
    Some of the clips are spoken tracks and some are music. I would say about 5 or 6 tracks will not play but get skipped over.
    There is some glitch from the various updates of iTunes and iMatch over the last couple of years that have caused this. I could understand if tracks were somehow corrupted but they are not. It varies from artist to artist and album to album. Sometimes it is only one song on a particular CD.
    I am purchasing the iPhone 6 next week. If no one can come up with solution can someone tell me how do a hard sync of my music from iMac to my iPhone. When you do a hard sync to back up with phone with the cable to mac when you click on music it says your songs are in the iCloud. When I restore my new phone from back up how would one do the hard sync where each of the 4500 songs are uploaded to phone. I know this is a long process as this is what everyone did before iMatch.

    Since this has been posted I guess no one has a solution. The only other reply is someone else had the same problem. Apple doesn't care because they would prefer their solution which is to buy the tracks from them and not load your own CD's on iTunes. Somewhere in the cloud the tracks that don't play on my iPhone are sitting there. Makes absolutely no sense that the other uploaded tracks work fine. I guess I'm going to have to test all 4500 tracks to get the exact count and then go over the Apple store to see if they can submit this to a software engineer at the Apple campus to find an answer.

  • Why won't my messages sync on both my iphone and ipad?

    Since I've installed the latest software update for my iphone 4 and ipad 3 my messages are not syncing with both devices.  Today for example I had a message sent to me at 2pm that went to my ipad (which was at home) instead of my phone.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the same email address and contact number set up for both........

    I found a solution that worked for me. I had this same problem and I feel like I tried everything. No matter how many time I synced, the songs appeared to be on my phone, but they would just get skipped over if I tried to play them ("ghost" songs). The answer is not checking and unchecking artists/playlists/etc in iTunes. The phone still thinks the songs are there so it won't sync them to the phone. Here's what to do: go to Settings --> Music and then make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then go to the Music app and try to play through your songs. Now, when a song is skipped over it should no longer appear in the iPhone's library. Once all songs are skipped (could take a few minutes depending on the size of your library), the "ghost" songs will disappear. On the next sync iTunes will put them all back on the phone. Hope this helps.

  • ITunes does not allow updates to iPhone and iPad

    I'm trying to update my devices to iOS 4.3.5. Update downloads okay. However when iTunes verifies the device a message indicates the device is not eligible for the update. This worked before I upgraded to Lion. Firewall has been checked, iTunes updated to latest version, 10.4 I think. I have uninstalled iTunes and carried out a re install twice, and the fault persists.
    Any ideas please anyone. This is very frustrating. Thanks

    Fixed, problem in Host file. Thanks

  • Is it possible to edit journals on different devices? Like iPhone AND iPad.

    Since working in iPhoto on the iphone is somewhat clumsy, it would be nice to say start a journal on the iphone an continue to work on it later on the ipad.
    Since Apple ist offering similar features with its iWork Apps with documnets in the cloud, it doesn´t seem to be a technical problem. And it is the part of the iCloud-idea to make such things possible, isn´t it? Even bigger it would be to offer Friends to contribute to a journal (given, that they have an ios-device and iPhoto on it)

    Great idea, Thomas, but sorry, you cannot. See this support article:
    iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Share your journal as a webpage
    You can view your published journals on any devices that are connected to the Internet and set up to work with iCloud. You can edit a journal only with the device you used to create it. For example, if you create a journal on your iPhone and publish to iCloud, you can view your journal in iPhoto on your iPad, but you can change the journal only using your iPhone.

  • Accessing iTunes media on Time Capsule from iPhone and iPad

    Hello!
    I keep my iTunes media files on a Time Capsule and access them on my MacBook Air, having changed the location of the media files in iTunes Preferences. This works fine.
    Can I do the same sort of thing on my iPad and iPhone? I know I can use "home sharing" via my MacBook, if I am having to use that, I may as well play the media on my MacBook anyway. I would like to be able to do it directly, without another computer being involved.
    I have tried apps like Buzz player, which is tedious in the extreme, and plays vidoes jerkily, if at all. I want to be able to connect iTunes directly to the media on the Time Capsule, if you see what I mean.
    And if not, why not, Apple?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Google finds many articles on how to move your iTunes to an external hard drive.

  • Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

    I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

    First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.
