Why won't Iphone 4 syc music with itunes 10.2.2 and shows error (-42404) ?

I recently just upgraded itunes to 10.2.2 and now I can't syc anything to my Iphone4 and everytime iTunes open it shows error code(-42404). I have tried re-installing itunes and several other things but nothing seems to work. I need HELP ! I have Windows Vista x64 bit

If it says it needs iTunes 10 then it needs iTunes 10 which in turn requires you be running at least OS 10.5 on your computer.  There's no workaround as far as I know.  I searched along those lines a few months ago and if you have more luck then let me know.  For me this is the #1 reason why I don't buy Apple media devices.
I very much doubt jailbreaking will help and it will only make it so Apple will refuse to look at your phone should any other issues arise and asking here will provoke righteous refusal of assistance from many posters.
There are third party utilities that are designed for copying files off an iPhone.  I don't know what system versions they require on your computer.  I don't know if they will copy files to a phone -- they are not designed as fully syncing utilities but more as file rescue.

    why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • I go to sync my Iphone 3Gs (IOS 5) with iTunes on my pc and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour.

    I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????

    If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

  • Why doesnt my iphone want to open with itunes.

    the last thing i did was accidently click the eject button on the iphone icon

    I must say I'm most frustrated by apple at the moment! I've tried everything that's been suggested by your so called APPLE Specialists/Bots regardless of my frustrations this is my problem both my itunes on my desktop and laptop or up to date and my ios is updated to on my iphone 5 so this rules out old software issues, my iphone 5 connects to the desktop but not my laptop so now i must leave the comfort of my living room to move all my files from my laptop to my desktop in order to have the files i want onto my iphone and yet this goes against apple policy as i remember apple is supposed to have this slogan that states simplicity for ios 7 yet im seeing nothing simple about been online for 3 hours trying to get a solution to my problem yet all that can be said it go check out iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    no support to the actual problem
    im starting to see why so many people move to android
    i wonder what kind of feedback i will receive from this thread or how long it will stay live for or if it will even go live.
    from a really irritated apple consumer.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

  • I updated to snow leopard recently and when i turned on my macbook every file from pictures and music was on my desktop.. are these copies? is there an easy way to put them where they belong like music with itunes, pictures in iphoto and so on

    Hi, I updated to snow leopard recently and when I turned my macbook back on icons from every file of pictures and music i have were all over my desktop
    how can i get them to all go to their programs like music to itunes, pictures to iphoto,  do I have to do it individually? thanks for any help

    If the icons have a black arrow bottom left corner, then the icons are just aliases, not the Application itself. You can move those icons to the Trash.

  • IPod 3rd Gen 30gb wont sync with iTunes, but works fine and shows up in windows explorer

    Hi, My sister-in-laws ipod classic 3rd gen ipod is being wierd. Therres a few problems. First and foremost when we plug it into her windows XP laptop and open the latest version of itunes, which we uninstalled and reinstalled the message "The software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required software." which we allready did. I also did everything in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US but when i selected the usbappl file as the driver it didnt reconize it as a driver. I also ran itunes dianostics and restarted the apple mobile device service and fixed all other issues. The ipod shows up fine in the windows explorer any help is appreciated.

    That is a 4th gen iPod, and it should work with a USB port (or a FireWire port).
    If you have not done a standard Restore on the iPod using iTunes, you may want to do that next.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  So, if the cause is related to software (or data corruption), and there is no hardware issue, a Restore should fix it.
    WARNING:  The 4th gen iPod (when used on a USB port) will ask that you connect it to a USB power adapter as the last step in the Restore process.  These white square power adapters originally came with this model.  If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, you will not be able to complete the Restore, and the iPod will become non-functional.  So don't do it unless you have one.  A third-party power adapter may or may not work for this purpose.  The USB port on your computer does not work for this purpose.

  • Why won't iPhone 5 sync music and videos?

    I bought a new iPhone 5 and can't get it to sync my music and videos.
    My iMac is running the latest OS, the iPhone is running the latest iOS and I'm using the latest iTunes 11.0.1.
    It syncs all the apps, books, and other files okay. When I select, or deselect, a movie or playlist that I want synced the Summary page shows the Audio Video Apps and Other colour-coded space allocation bar correctly but when I run the sync no music nor videos are copied, the sync only takes a couple of seconds, and the Audio and Video parts of the space allocation bar disappear.
    Variously I've tried checking and unchecking 'Sync only checked songs and videos' and 'Manually manage music and videos'. I've tried restarting both devices of course. I've signed out of iTunes and signed back in just in case it was an authorisation issue. I've tried creating a backup of the iPhone on iTunes in case this was needed to make a connection between both but nothing will work for me.
    The music in question is NOT DRM. They are all files I've ripped myself from CDs and DVDs over the years. They sync correctly on my iPad - also running the same latest version of iOS - so I can't see how it would be a problem with the files themselves.
    I've tried googling this but it just throws up so many hits that I can't find anyone having the exact same issue.
    Any suggestions gratefully received before I tear my hair out.
    Thanks

    I'm having the exact same issue... The first time I plugged in my iphone it came up as a new iphone and asked me what I wanted to sync, and then I tried to put a bunch of my music on there. It acted like it was syncing, but only put a bunch of empty unplayable reference files on my iphone, nothing I can play. I deleted all of those, and tried to sync my music again, along with some videos. No luck. The files appear as if it recognizes the amount of space my music will take up on the iphone, but when I hit sync it disappears as if it synced in about 1 second, and nothing new is on my phone.
    I'm on a PC, quad core, Intel i-7 2.2 Ghz, 8 Gigs of RAM, Windows 7. I don't see any reason that this would be happening based on my system.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • Why wont my iphone 5 wont sync with itunes

    i plug my iphone 5 into itunes and and begings to sync but when it gets to set 2 of 5 itunes says it has stopped working and turns off.
    Help PLEASE!!!!

    I had the same problem with my brand new iphone 5. After trying to resolve the problem using a variety of forums I took the phone to an Istore and after reloading the phone's software the problem was cured.
    A far greater issue for me is how pathetic apple software has become - altough I understand that there are people that like to tinker I am not one of them - I simply expect my hardware/firmware/software to work, something apple seems incapble of doing despite the fact that they own the value chain.
    Apple also seems genuinly disintrested in their customers offer only community support but of course they offer the following disclaimer:

    Well done apple!

  • Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

    I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod.  Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed).  I tried updating iTunes.  My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation.  I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there.  My computer is up to date.  I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps.  It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection.  Any help?

    Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better.  It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

  • Cannot Sync Photos and Music with iTunes

    After I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 5s to iOS 8, I cannot remove my music from my iPad to create more space, and I cannot restore the photos that was removed from my phone during the update process. With my iPad, I tried removing the music with iTunes on my Mac and the message appears asking if I want to remove music after I uncheck sync music, but it did nothing to my iPad, even after I synced multiple times. I even tried removing music on my iPad by going to Setting>General>Usage>Music, but one I clicked on Music the app would crash to the home screen. I have tried doing this with or without it connect to iTunes, as well as restarting it but nothing works. It keeps crashing.
    With my iPhone I tried syncing photos multiple times but it is always stuck on (step 5 of 6: Importing photos), where it will continue for hours and then give up. I tried unchecking the sync photos first and then tying to sync it with the photos again but the same problem persists. I also tried removing the iPod Photo cache from my iPhoto Library and then syncing it again but nothing.

    Problems solved! Apparently when iTunes 10.5 is installed, the settings for what to sync, e.g. photos, music is reset to the default in which no content is synched.  What's more, these settings are not particularly obvious in the Windows version on iTunes, as you have to scroll down to actually see them.  There is also no message or other information as part of the upgrade process that warns that theses boxes will revert to being unchecked after the upgrade.
    From a user-centered design process, POV the upgrade and its instructions are woefully disappointing :-(

  • My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

    My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
    The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

    Sorry, but this doesn't work either.  Thank you for the response though.
    I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over.   I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
    I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
    I have deleted my iPhone backup.
    I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
    I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
    I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
    I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever.  But music?  Forget it.
    I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE.  All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT!  This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

  • HT203164 Why won't the song titles transfer with the music when I burn to disc and play on another device?

    Why won't the song titles transfer with the music whaen I burn to disc and play or copy to another program?

    Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!
