Why won't my phones won't sync to my itunes?

I have recetly tried to sync my iphone 4 to my itunes. When I connect it to my computer it won't sync to my itunes. My computer however recognises the camera, but that is all. I have tried absolutley everything to fix the problem. There are no error messages, it just does not work, even when i try file and go to sync it doesn't allow me to do so. This isn't just my phone, it is also my partners old phone and new one, so this makes me believe its my itunes. I have tried updating my itunes, authorising and deauthorising, restarting my phone and computer, changing ports, changing leads, turning off the internet and connecting, but none of these seem to work.
Can anyone please help me?

Hi hloler,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may not be able to connect to the iTunes Store. See the "Troubleshooting on Windows" section of this article for some steps you can try:

  • My iPhone won't sync to my iTunes because it says my computer is not authorized. When i do authorize it, it claims to already be authorized. When i re-sync my phone it says it is unauthorized. Any help?

    Hello katey1717
    If you are getting the repeated prompts of asking to authorize your Apple ID, then check out the article below to resolve the issue. Make sure that you go through and remove the SC Info folder and try to authorizer again as that resolved it for me when I had that issue.

  • My Ipod won't sync to my itunes, it has before but now the button that says 'sync ipod' is grey and won't let me click it. Why is this?

    Did anything happen to the computer?  It appears that you are trying to sync to another iTunes library since in that case you can only sync with one iTunes library.

  • 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.

  • I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

    I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

    I had an iPhone 3GS, but my husband had a newer one, so he gave me his when he upgraded to the iPhone4. When we uploaded everything, it took it all except my music. Now when I try to download my music from iTunes, it will not sync with it.
    No error messages
    It pops up the box where it asks if you want to view folders, download your pics, etc. There is nothing in the box about music (iTunes).
    I have rebooted my phone and computer. Downloaded the lastest version of iTunes, Deauthorized and reauthorized the phone. Not sure what to do now.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
    Have you tried the 5 R's?

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen won't sync to my iTunes.

    I was charging my iPod when it ended up going to a white screen. I reset it like I was suppose to and that didn't help, so I connected it to my laptop and restored it via iTunes like another post on this forum had suggested. I went back through the setup and did everything the way I had the first time and now it won't sync to my iTunes library. When I go to the iPod tab and select sync, it loads for maybe half a second and stops on my computer screen, then the iPod will show that it's syncing for a few more seconds and then it stops and there is no media on the iPod. Can anyone maybe help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

    I am trying to sync my 3rd gen nano as well with itunes 10 but in my case I can see the removable drive in the Finder. I can eve write files to this mounted drive.
    When I connect the same nano to my Windows XP which also has itunes 10 it shows up with the starting config screen.

  • What do I do if my iPod won't sync with my iTunes?

    My iPod has been working perfectly fine for about a year and a half now, but when I connect it to my computer it won't sync with the iTunes program. It shows that it is connected to my computer because it's charging, but not to iTunes. I'm not sure what to do, any ideas?

    Find a more powerful USB port or buy a wall-mount charger from Apple.

  • Traktor s4 issues - won't sync with current iTunes library

    As of July 21st, my Traktor S4 won't sync with my iTunes library. Within the Traktor interface it shows playlists that I've since removed and doesn't show any of the more recent tracks I've loaded.
    Is this an iTunes issue or a NI Traktor issue?
    Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? I've attempted their user support a few times but I feel I had more knowledge about this then them as they couldn't give me an answer.
    Any help or direction is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Ha, well that was quick. HOW ON EARTH DID NI TECH SUPPORT NOT KNOW THIS!!!!!
    I had to reset the path to my iTunes library (which i figured but had no guidance). I was having issues with this before because every option I selected was greyed out. This time I went in and routed it to the "iTunes Library XML" and it worked. Clearly I'm not a techy that is familiar with XML but it worked. Hopefully this helps someone else out there with this issue.
    Again, it amazes me that after 3 calls with NI they had no idea how to help

  • Why my Iphone won't sync to my itunes?

    Ever since I updated my Itunes my IPhone hasn't sync, anything, pictures, music, it won't back up my IPhone. I have uninstalling then restalling Itunes. I have tried just about everything.

    As I recall any playlist that uses a rule such as Media Kind is not Podcast (now) tends to fail to sync whereas using Playlist is Music has more success. Precise details escape my memory but esentially any referenecs to the podcast property means the playlist won't sync via the Music tab.

  • Brand new iPod Touch 4g won't sync music from iTunes?

    Every time I plug my iPod into my laptop to add more music I get an error saying iTunes cannot read the contents and I need to restore it. Last week I got a new white iPod Touch 8gb 4g. I had the same problem with my last iPod and when I bought the new one I was hoping I wouldn't anymore but I do. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarting my computer, hard rebooting my iPod, turning my iPod off and on, deleting old backups, etc. But still it won't sync correctly. Sometimes it will start the sync, but rush through all the steps without actually syncing anything. So I try to sync again and again to see if it will add anything but it just rushes through all the steps without doing anything. And eventually I get the message saying it cannot be read and needs to be restored. I'm using windows, and my iPod as well as iTunes are both up to date. And I have plenty of space left on my iPod. I've even checked for viruses/threats but there are none on my computer. Even to add one new song I have to restore first. Even though it's a brand new iPod. Any ideas why it won't sync or why iTunes cannot read the contents??? I've been having this problem for awhile. A couple months. With my old iPod and my new one.

    My understnding is that this may be a Windows related problem or sometimes USB problem.   I have the same issue and I know how to correct it, BUT ( and this is a BIG BUT) ... it will happen again and each time it does you will have to fully restore your I-Pod.  Here is my post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18645554#18645554 discussing a potential one time fix, but the problem happens the next time you plug in the I-Pod Touch 4G.
