Why won't my iPhone 4S sync with my iTunes?

I just got the new iPhone 4S to replace my recently broken phone and the iTouch I lost late last year, so of course one of the first things I wanted to do was get all of my old apps on to it. When I plugged it in, and went on to iTunes, my iPhone was not even recognized on the iTunes, as in, nothing showed up for it. Idk what is wrong. Can somebody help me? Thanks (:

This is a repeat of my question above.  Disregard this :response."

  • Why won't my iphone 5 sync with ical

    I'm having trouble getting my iPhone 5 to sync with iCal.  New appointments I've added on the computer don't show up on the phone and vice versa.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5S sync with my computer?

    I have the grey-dotted circle issue that has been addressed in other discussions before (even though I did not get a straight answer from there). Whenever the iPhone 5S (which is running iOS 8) is plugged in, it says that X amount of songs are greyed out in the 'On my phone' page. Not quite sure how to fix that.
    However, whenever I try to 'apply' changes, and sync to the computer rather than iCloud (which by the way is ridiculously slow as well---icloud sync), it will go to 'step 4' or 'step 6' where it's applying changes, or finishing up, and just stays there. It freezes.
    This all happened when we tried to sync a new playlist to the device. It said in the play list that there were 250+ songs, whereas only 56 transferred to the phone....(this is where the grey dotted circles in the 'on my phone' screen comes in) Some of the music in our library is older and has been transferred from computer to computer over the years. I've tried de-authorizing the computer then reauthorizing since it said we couldn't authorize more than 5 devices to the same library but that was to no-avail.
    We have upgraded our iMac to Mavericks, iPhone to iOS8 and iTunes to 11.4. We rebooted everything yet we are still having issues.
    Some help would be appreciated. This device will be used as a music source for a marathon within the next week and we'd like to get the device up and running for the runner who will be in the marathon.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Why won't my iphone 4s sync with my mac after downloading ios 7 and updating iTunes?

    ive tried to sync my iphone to itunes but the sync keeps failing

    Your iPhone will act as a camera, in iPhoto.  Open iPhoto, and you should see your iPhone listed in the left hand column, under "devices".

  • Why won't my iPhone 4s sync to my iTunes?

    I am very frustrated with Apple right now!  Today, I wanted to synch my phone to my iTunes to delete music from it and back it up.  So, I plugged my phone in and it didn't show up on iTunes.  So, I updated my phone.  Still didn't show up.  So I updated iTunes.  Still didn't show up.  So I reset all of my settings on my phone.  Still didn't show up.  So I called Apple Support, who were very helpful and told me to uninstall literally all of my Apple programs.  I DID.  This was a very, very lengthy process.  Afterwards, I re-downloaded iTunes, and now when I plug my phone in, nothing happens!  It has been doing various things, but still not working.  Sometimes the iPhone button will come up but it will stop scrolling and the whole iTunes will freeze.  Other times it has an error message saying it can't read my phone.  Other times nothing will happen.  I have rebooted, and Ctrl+Alt+deleted and nothing changes.  Do I have to uninstall and reinstall it for the third time today?  My phone will show up on two other computers using the same usb cord.  I am on a Windows Vista Computer.  I have literally been trying this entire day and I feel so stumped.  I can't continue using my phone fully because I have too many songs, and I just want to delete some songs!  So frustrating.  Any advice at all? 

    me too!

  • Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

    why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

    Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
    If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

  • Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?

    Why ON EARTH would I want to do this??  Come on Apple, copy protection aside, this is the stupidest prompt in the history of prompts.
    The basic problem (if you Google it) that many many many many legitimate purchaser's of music are running into is this prompt.  And here is why:
    1.  We have an iPhone with a bunch of purchased songs on it and was at one point working with another iTunes library.
    2.  For whatever reason our computer crashes, the computer is gone/sold, not available, dead, pick your poison, it happens.
    3.  We setup a new computer and install iTunes and get a prompt to "Authorize" this computer (apparently we get 5 authorizations total).
    4.  We try to get all the songs from our iPhone back into iTunes and click the Sync button and ...
    5.  We get the following:
    The iPhone "Your iPhone's name" is synced with another iTunes library.  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Really?  This is what I have to do, wipe out all my purchased songs so that iTunes and sync with a new library?  At what point did Apple think this idea was even remotely in the best interest of their customers?  Seriously?
    So now I'm stuck with an iPhone with songs on it, a computer with songs on it, but neither able transfer songs ... Happy Happy Joy Joy.  This is NUTS!?  Why punish people that you can verify they've purchased their songs with this bizarre scheme ... and further more, what if some of my songs on my iPhone were brought in from a valid CD purchase?
    So my only way out of this craziness, is to use a 3rd party app that will hack the transfer for me?  This is good how?  I'm sorry, but at what point did Apple's $40 Billion (yes Billion) profit for 2012 instigated this sort of treatment to valid paying customers?
    So ... here I am, anyone have a solution to this using "valid" means (without losing all my music) or is 3rd party hacks my only option?

    tt2,
    So if I understand you correctly ... I can't move or sync content that was imported via my own CD's that is now on my iPhone back over to my computer?
    Not with iTunes as your only tool, no.
    The ONLY way I can proceed is with an iPhone backup and then restore that iPhone backup to my computer rather than my iPhone?  I assume this will trigger yet another "used activation"?
    No you need a third party tool that will copy your other non-iTunes purchased media and photos not in the cameral roll across to your computer. (Some are listed, you can search the web for others).
    When you have recovered all the media you want you can then backup the iPhone to the computer (this backup ONLY includes application data and settings, and the cameral roll. After you have backed up this data to the computer you can then immediately restore the recently made backup to the iPhone. The data in the backup will obviously be copied back but all media must have been added to the library or it will be removed from the device.
    Your lost computer will count as an "activation" as will the new one. Apple devices don't add to the count. You can reset all your activations (including those you can't physically access) every 12 months should the need arise.
    Am I the only one that thinks this is the most crazy and bizarre process of simply moving a music file from one of my devices to another of my devices?  Especially ones that were imported from CDs.
    You still have the CDs? You can import them again. You sold, gave away, threw away the originals? Technically you no longer have the right to listen to the tracks you ripped. Is it inconvenient? Sure. One might argue that the very reason Apple & iTunes were able to drive the move to digital music to start with is that their system was designed to prevent the casual use of their devices as a means for "the kids" to simply "gift" their music libraries to each other without the tediously time-wasting efforts that the previous generation had to go through with home-taping. This no doubt helped get the content owners on board. Of course memory sticks and portable hard drives now make it trivially easy to copy content from one computer to another and indeed to simply backup your own content against a disaster but most people don't do either. Likewise they don't read instructions or terms and conditions until they are inconvenienced, and then complain. You and I might both wish iTunes made it easier, but it doesn't. And this isn't the place to complain about it. Use iTunes Feedback. You want help, it has been offered. Please read and inwardly digest it all properly this time. It does explain what you need to do to recover your data and safeguard it for the future.

  • Computer says: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on "localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"

    Hi,
    I just bought an I-Phone 5S. When plugging it to my Macbook for the 1st time to copy music from my I-Tunes, this message comes up: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on “localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
    Pls help. I'm always so scared I can loose all my contacts if i am to answer "yes". Also, why am I being told the IPhone is synced with another ITunes Library when it's litterally not been connected to any at all? I dont get it.
    What shall I do?
    Thanks for your help,
    Myzin.

    This would indicate that you bought a Used iPhone and/or have Connected it to another iTunes Library.
    By design an iPhone can only sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

  • "The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?" error message.

    I have an iPhone 3GS and have never added any music to the device as I had an iPod. The iPhone and iPod are hooked up to the same computer and same iTunes account. My iPod recently broke and now I am trying to add some of my music to the iPhone but I get a message that says: The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?
    I have never had the iPhone hooked up to another iTunes account. I don't want to accept and say yes and lose all the info on my iPhone.
    Any tips or recomme

    I'm having the same problem after upgrading my iPhone 3Gs to iOS 5 (and upgrading iTunes to 10.5). I noticed after doing this the ring tone I was using for incoming calls was no longer on the phone. Before the upgrade I was syncing ringtones with iTunes without problems. My contacts and apps still still sync as before, but when I try to enable syncing for ring tones in iTunes, I get the message reported at the beginning of this thread. Any risk of losing anything if I go ahead and enable ring tone syncing? The message is definitely misleading.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.
